Braden Gall of Athlon Sports says Golden.....

[brock]

I don't know if I'd consider it a cash cow....don't even know if it's profitable.. and a serious risk, given uncertainty of the future of healthcare in Miami/US. Don't know how smart is/was to roll the dice in such a big way on healthcare. Local press has reported on the potential mess that Shalala has left to new President. Frenk has no real knowledge or interest in football..which could be a huge profit center if run correctly.

AG isn't leaving after this season. He especially won't be fired. But I do agree- eventually(whenever that is) when golden is gone we need to hire somebody worth their salt. No more guesses. A proven coach whether that be an OC or DC with an outstanding track record.

It's actually best we didn't fire golden this past season.. Let's think about it, would we really want this incompetent administration(shalala) to have a hand in the most critical coaching search in the past 33 years? Especially if we were not going to rehire butch Davis...

Let's lay the blame where it really belongs - WORST BOT's EVER. All the chairman cares about is the Miller School of Medicine..hence the new President.

That's the university of Miami's cash cow, why wouldn't they hire someone to fix and further enhance the medical aspects of the university? It would have been incredibly stupid to hire someone who has no type of experience in working with something that the university made a focal point over the last decade or so. All we can hope for is that frenk will not stand for Mediocre results and actually fund the program like it should have been...

I agree. Shalala really screwed up everything that is the university Miami as far as football is concerned. From the latest reports it looks like she did the same with UHealth

Indiana, illinois, Iowa and Purdue should have job openings next year...Hopefully.

Al's "please, don't beat us by more than 50" defense would be a much better fit at Vandy.

 

[the storm]

B.S. report. LOL

 

[Canesfan1899]

Vandy would've been happy with his 6-7 win seasons, would have been a great match.

 

[GoldenOfrio Sucks]

Vandy would've been happy with his 6-7 win seasons, would have been a great match.

Did'nt mean to down vote. Lmao if u think al can win 6-7 games in the sec as vandys coach.

 

[The Franchise]

Golden will end up being a lifetime coordinator after the mess he's made here.

You're right. He's shown with his defensive acumen here that he's best off in the X's and O's science aspect of football. He's a real defensive mastermind. He can roll up his sleeves and be a dominant DC for the rest of his life.

 

[CFLACANE]

...was interested in the Vanderbilt head coaching job after James Franklin went to Penn State.

Gall said, on Nashville radio tonight, that based upon the word of sources he trusts, Golden inquired about the position.

Now is there any doubt Golden has checked out?

Stopped reading after i saw athlon sports. Do they still make cute magazines?

 

[Al Foil]

Al Golden has been searching for an exit strategy since the Penn St. fiasco.

I think Al is more surprised that he wasn't fired after this season than any fan.

 

[NVA CANE]

Is anyone surprised that this unaccountable **** would think he can inquire about other positions when he's failed so miserably while at Miami. I guarantee if you could get into his mind, you would find out he probably thinks his failures are the schools fault. Only if there wasn't an NCAA mess, only if the coaches in south Florida would push their kids to him, only if we had better facilities.

I guarantee those are the excuses he makes to himself every single day as to why we suck. He's an unaccountable ****bag.

TV or politics. Those are his two options after this gig is done. He's a good enough bull****er to do well in politics and the times he's been on tv he's done well. Football is not his thing, not as a HC, coordinator or water boy

 

[ThomasM]

One thing is for darn sure... They will NOT hit a home run and hire the right guy.

Would have been a great fit for him. And it's not as if the guy they hired is going to be any better.

I'm guessing Golden will do poor enough to get fired after this season, or he'll do well enough to get the Illinois job. In either case, he'll be gone in 2016.

But who replaces him is the more important issue. And like most posters, I don't trust Blake James to make a great hire.

 

[Cash]

Don't worry the Vandy job will come open again real soon for the same reasons Al will be fired after this season.

 

[Bigtip]

I doubt that any power 5 team would hire him at this point

 

[Kevin]

Athlon sport is unreliable.

they said he was candidate for the Wisconsin job, when he wasn't.

 

[OrangetieFatface]

Nobody is going big picture here?

Even Vandy isn't interested. We're ****ed.

 

[Bigtip]

I've never seen a coach as bad as Pyrite in major college football.

and I've never seen a coach whos been a dead man walking now since at least the UL Bowel Game back in 2013 throw away 2+ seasons and god knows how many recruits.

just unbelievable still

 

[Canesfan1899]

Nobody is going big picture here?

Even Vandy isn't interested. We're ****ed.

I don't think anyone wanted to admit how embarrassing we have become.

 

[Billy D Williams]

Al getting fired will replace all my family highlights as the best time in my life!

 

[Gsugradcanefan]

Vandy would've been happy with his 6-7 win seasons, would have been a great match.

No way Vandy goes 6-6 in the SEC under golden. I mean think about it, they're gonna have to play UF, UGA, UT, SCAR, UK, and Mizzou on a regular basis, plus two teams from the SEC west. ****, James Franklin had to fight and scrap to get them to 9 wins.
