Hurricane Warrior, this quote stood out the most from your last post:
Despite how incompetent some of you think the staff is
This implies that you disagree with the overwhelming majority of Miami fans. Do you honestly believe Al Golden has earned a fifth year at Miami, despite having the same record (28-21) as Will Muschamp against far easier opposition (ACC schedules vs. SEC schedules), a worse resume than Randy Shannon at the conclusion of his fourth year, going winless vs. FSU (0-4), never winning the worst division among the Power 5, leading us to yet another embarrassing late-season collapse, and having the team completely fall apart under his watch in the last 10 quarters?
Forget the buyout and the BOT's disgraceful apathy towards UM football. Do you still want him to be our coach after all this?
01Canes: I do not agree that Golden has earned his 5th year at Miami. Do I want him as a coach still? It's not my choice; but I will always support the Head Coach at the University of Miami and any player who suits up for us.
Sorry, I just realized that I didn't answer your question. I'm really torn but my answer is "Yes" at least for 2015, especially at this point (less than 2 months before signing day). If they don't win at least 9 games next season, then I think it should be his last. Maybe I'm overly optimistic but I honestly see us winning 10 games next season if all goes well and Brad is healthy. How this team responds in the bowl game and off-season will be very telling of where this team will be next year.
I couldn't disagree with you more, but I appreciate that you answered the question directly.
Only thing I'll say in response since we'll never agree on this is that I don't see how winning 9 games should be considered acceptable for any coach entering his fifth year at Miami. Winning double-digit games, beating FSU, and winning the ACC to play in a BCS Bowl game should be the minimum expectation for any coach in Year 5 at this program.
