Pretty obvious that Golden was on borrowed time this year. He shouldn't have been retained, and the reasons for doing so, whatever they were, appear misguided, at best. No staff, and certainly no team was going to play to "save" his job or turn around what's been broken for a long time. It wasn't a good fit from the start. He's just not right for Miami. The really concerning thing about yesterday is that Miami had no business being on the field with Clemson. That was a total mismatch. Where to begin? His insistence on keeping his incompetent friend as DC, the shuffling of the OL so they are not a cohesive unit, his quitting summer practices early which could add to these guys not being in game condition, having starters in down 50 points, on and on. At this point his methods are not only leading to game losses, it appears as though they are putting kids physically at risk in a collision sport. At least against top 20 competition. Physically, it looked like the 70s era Steelers against a high school team out there. Blake James should take a long look in the mirror this morning.
The next 5 weeks will be painful to watch.
