Al Golden - What Went Wrong?

What went wrong was that Al Golden was a fraud who had convinced not just UM, but the entire industry that he was a big time head coach. He was nothing of the sort. But again, the entire industry thought this guy was the next up and coming hot coaching commodity.

When things went sideways for UM due to the Nevin Shapiro scandal UM ended up doubling down on Golden about 15 minutes before everyone in the industry realized he was a huckster extraordinaire. At that point we were stuck with him until it was too late.

Some people say Coker, some people Shannon, but to me Folden hands down no question was the worst Coach we've had in the modern era.

Shannon and Coker didn't know what they were doing. That's on the administration for making those hires. Al refused to see what was hitting him right in the head. His scheme wasn't working and he did everything to rationalize that it wasn't the scheme. He preferred to go down in flames than admit where he was wrong. He did with his 58-0 masterpiece.

What happened is he should've NEVER been hired here in the first place.

Folden was a sh*t corch at Temple & showed in year 2 after getting shellacked by K State & losing to a 4-8 UVA squad that he had no business being here at all.

Al Folden completely sunk this program to the absolute bottom of the pit of ****, Richt tried hard to bring us back above sea level, but we're still to this very day feeling the impact on the recruiting trail of just how awful Folden was.

Some people say Coker, some people Shannon, but to me Folden hands down no question was the worst Coach we've had in the modern era.

Yes, but as I said at the start I was wondering if there were any insider informational on what other dysfunctional items took place during the Golden tenure outside of the usual suspects (the defensive scheme). The Feliciano comments were pretty eye opening and I was wondering what else was out there.

Always wanted to see a good postmortem on how things broke (as well as with Shannon).
 
Golden=Bull**** artist. End of story. Guy was a crock of **** as a person and a coach. When he snuck out of town to try to get the PSU job, it just proved he was a no character a-hole BS artist. Makes me puke.
 
I hate Golden with a passion just like everyone else but I'll say this - if the dude replaced D'No with an aggressive DC and landed Dalvin Cook instead of FSU he may still be our coach today. Yes he ****ed up a lot of things but those 2 alone would have easily translated into 3+ more wins per season and kept him around

the "cultural fit" is BS and our fanbase actually believes that. look what Dan Mullen did with "florida kids" . he's a great coach.

our fanbase is obsessed with democrat buzzwords like "Savage" and are all about twitter memes.

Nobody says this. Even **** homers would have a hard time saying this.

Dorito.

If he hired a compentent DC straight away, or replaced Dorito, Al could still be here.

Right, but going by the podcast it sounded as if there was far more than just a unworkable defensive scheme that was rotting away the Miami program. If so, what was it?

With Randy, it's easy to pin down. Minimal budget for staff leads to gambles and untested personnel being hired. The players do not develop under this staff and get worse as their careers progress. An NFL scout says in 2009 or 2010 that Miami is the worst coached team in college football. Miami refuses to invest in other things that schools on the ascent like Alabama have added, like a nutritionist. Players are eating once a day, and eating at McDonalds. Randy has poor relationships with multiple Florida HS coaches, and as a result key pipelines of talent are gradually shut down.

By saying D'No was the sole cause..... I meant that Al Foldem hired a nincompoop of a DC and refused to get rid of him ...

.... didn't you see the recruitment planning video showing the 1diot override the only asst who had a clue... and of course all the other gutless, yes-men on staff nodding in approval though most of them knew he was talking through the wrong ******* in his body.....

You can analyze schemes all you want but the main issue was the clown running the defence and his BFF refusing to get rid of him..
