Looking like Al Golden is headed to PSU

[CodeBlaMeVi]

As an FSU fan, I am . I was never sold on Golden because he didn't fit the University of Coral Gables mold.

true, but Coley recruits S Fla very well, and we need that

plus, I'm willing to see how he game plans with a QB he actually wants, and that is better than Morris was

Edit: our offense only looks like fly routes and zone runs because Duke was gone for the season and Morris does not know how to use the middle of the field on short/intermediate routes. Not to mention Kehoe is Larry Holmes status as an O-Line coach, and has been for some time

I think Cane fans have to hope that silver lining is true (that the offense will be different with another QB at the helm). And yeah, Morris is poor at reading the middle of the field. I do give Coley some leeway, but not much. I think he did a poor job at masking Morris's deficiencies. As far as the recruiting aspect, most of the kids in south FL want to go to UM. Miami has to give them a reason too, though. If Miami was consistently winning 9-10 games a lot of the kids that have been getting away would be at Coral Gables instead. Miami can't be getting blown out by Duke and shyt and then be surprised when dudes start looking at other schools. I don't think Miami is ever going to keep everyone home, but if they were putting a good team on the field things would be different. Miami has a good class this year anyways, so it's kinda a moot point.

yeah that's a pipe dream at this point, no way we're touching him with all that baggage IMO

IF Golden leaves, the only real big name I see us going after is Charlie Strong

Miami can't compete with Louisville in the money department. He is being considered by Texas so he knows his worth and Miami is a stepping stone job.

after being killed golden doesnt want to be in another bowl game for awhile

we can pay him as much as Louisville is paying him, its not that much

plus he would get first dibs on South Florida recruits which he already loves and is good at doing

Miami is a stepping stone job.

you say this like its a bad thing

when miami was busting everyones ass it was a stepping stone for jimmy johnson, dennis erickson, butch davis to jump to the NFL

miami adds trophies to the cabinet and the coaches beef up their resumes and move on, no one loses

Dude is getting paid $3.75 million and Golden is getting paid $2.15 million. Miami only competes for coaches on the come-up and not already established coaches. Strong in 4 years has established himself.

Nothing wrong with that but you omitted the rest of the message on why I wrote that.

i've noticed that about UF too; it's a stepping stone job but that's a good thing

I think my fellow Miami brehs are getting a bit delusional.

We all do realize the team has gotten better every year he's been there, he's recruited his ass off, and has his best class yet coming in? Rebuilding, which is what's happening as we had shyt to start with, is a process, and ALL he's done is make step forwards.

Being this furious that your 7-win team just stepped up and became a 9-win team reeks of entitlement issues.

Fans of any top school in college football feel "entitled" to have success. Why should we be any different? It's been over a decade since we made real noise.

Because you don't make noise over night, especially coming off of over a decade of a program getting consistently worse, especially in the midst of an ongoing investigation that at the beginning looked serious. Dudes are yelling fire Golden like he hasn't IMPROVED upon what was there when he got there. What more can you ask of a coach than to be better than it was before and provide evidence that what's to come is even better? Increasingly better record and this recruiting class coming in is a check in both boxes.

Who's the last Miami coach that could say they accomplished that?

I think the real issue is that people are looking at him as an X and O's coach and are very underwhelmed. He can keep bringing in talent, but if he can't beat anyone with it, it's pointless. We've had better talent than a lot of the teams we've lost to under Golden. The win/loss record you're bringing up is filled with nailbiters against teams that could never sniff some of the recruits we've fielded.

It's improvement. I can only compare Golden to the recent years of the program and be realistic about what the UM Football program was and is.

Those nailbiters he won?

We've been losing those for almost ten years
