UM is the best job in America because the proximity to talent is the best. It takes no time to drive down the street to visit a kid and his HC at school, his home and his games and practices. Add to that when the coach is relatively young and has kids who are at an age when they really need their dad at home and not in some far off location visiting ****-head 17 yr olds (like Golden's family), combined with the fact that being a HC is a huge commitment of time and energy, factoring those things in UM is the best he's ever going to see. He can brush off WEZ members and their criticism (mostly warranted, I'd say) as the crazy unreasonable fans who don't understand the intricacies of college football, and he can at least for the next year still bring up the cloud (look how much mileage the dims get out of blaming everything on Bush and he hasn't had a say in anything for over 6 years), and he can even get some mileage out of the true freshman QB excuse (at least for the first 3 losses this year) and unless he finishes worse then .500, he can probably keep his job here, at least for another year or 2. Note, I don't think we're going less than .500, so I don't think the BOT and/or AD or going to do anything with Golden. They might make him an offer he can't refuse regarding the DC, but that's another matter.
