- Golden onUM v. FSU: "For us at the U of Miami, for us to get back to where we want to be, we’ve got to win that game."
This was the most important quote for me. Usually he would run form this question but he actually said what i wanted. i like this new golden.
Asked Golden how he can be better in Year 4. Said he'll be more hands-on, delegate his time better.
I told everyone in the other thread he was going to be more hands on with the defense and everything from now on. he knows his seat is warm and he doesnt want D'NO to cause him his job.
The importance of that one game is at an all time high this season, because there is a chance we may play FSU twice. He knows that he could be the 1st Cane HC to lose 2 times in a season and also put us in a 6 game skid to our biggest foe. 5 of those would be on him. Which would be the 2nd longest skid to them since the 63 to 72 stretch of 7 games and the longest skid of the modern era. Also since he has been HC here. The beatings from FSU have gotten worse every year. Going from 4 to 13 to 27 points.
Contrary to many peoples beliefs on here. The heat has been on him since the end of last season. People need to save the 2020 bs and this his his real 1st year drama. Had PSU offered him he would have been out of here faster than ****. Dude knows he needs to produce and he needs to do it fast. He didn't bring in Heaps just because. He brought him in because he knows nobody is going to buy the QB went down BS. He has very little faith in Olsen and i seriously doubt he is going to put this season in the hands of a true frosh.
I also doubt Heaps would have left without some sort of assurance that he would get a real shot. Regardless of what Williams says about being ready at the start of the season. Golden doesn't seem to be a believer just from his responses. Golden could sell eskimo ice if he wanted to, but he doesn't look like he his trying hard to sell what Williams is selling.
As far as him getting more hands on. That is a huge sign that he knows the people above ain't ******* around. Dude is trying to micro manage **** because imo. The ship done sailed on the scapegoating Ono. Only a blind *** admin would not say to Golden. 3 years are in the book and your defense has gotten worse. I feel you need to look for a new man. Golden took the heat on himself and said the defense was his.
He has to make this **** happen. I am not saying that he needs to win a title our even a conference title this year, but he **** sure needs to beat FSU and at least play in the ACCCG. If he doesn't do either. I can't see any logical reason to keep him.
Maybe he gets it right this year. I think everyone would be happy winning games that we should, beating FSU at least once. And appearance in the ACCCG and a bowl victory.
