I bet u all the people who want Golden to stay just to keep this class didn't care about losing Teddy when we fired Shannon, not to mention kids that transferred/ left early People also forget that Shannon's record improved for 3 strate years also and he did it against a more difficult schedule and was a first year head coach. Golden didn't beat MAC teams with winning records and he's not beating good teams here. people swear the team is in better position than with shannon and I bet y'all felt the same way in 08 when Randy was bringing in that #1 class. the right coach > a recruiting class of unknown kids. the fact that Golden is going into year 4 and we still need a bunch of freshman to contribute should tell u all u need to know. also Dorito is still employed. I wouldn't fire Golden this year (unless he keeps Dorito) but if he leaves I don't see it as a big loss. nobody seems to have any reason to keep Golden except for this recruiting class
VERY comparable situation, clearly. That's why Golden was being sought by Wisconsin last year, and is now a finalist or possibly PSU's new coach doubling his salary, and Shannon is coaching linebackers for the worst team in the SEC right now. Clearly the coaching world agrees with your comparison.
