Blame Golden but blame the absolute incompetence from the administration more.
As much as I dislike Golden for the fraud he is, and also being responsible for the worst defenses Miami put on the field, I don't think he mishandled Duke. Did he mismanage/handle other players such as Chick, absolutely. Duke was clearly our best player. I thought he was one of the few players in the Golden era that was put in position to succeed. Maybe, I am wrong here. Agree with you that Golden can go to ****, just not sure exactly why he is blamed for Duke's success, or lack there of, in the NFL.One of my all time favorites Canes.
Kid was an absolute dog and dynamic as anyone who ever played here IMO. Golden can go to ****. The fact that he didn’t sniff a HC job is all you need to know. Fat fvxk

For sure, but I meant 4 dudes that make it to their 2nd NFL contract. That’s what, the top 2% of D1 college athletes? You’d think if you have around 4 of those in each class you should win at least 9 games every year. We fell way short of that. Not to mention all the other busts we had. No depth and poor coaching has screwed us for years.Imagine 4 guys in 2012 and that’s considered a solid class? That’s a terrible class when u just counting on four guys and no trench warfare involved. I hated the way we recruited for years I always liked some but when I saw OSU Bama etc I was like those are true classes.
When the whole interview drops i will post it. Brief snippet from Duke’s IG.
U need them in the trenches to win games. Skill guys are cool and all but needed more trench guys. Jenkins looks like the best of that bunch dude is ballingFor sure, but I meant 4 dudes that make it to their 2nd NFL contract. That’s what, the top 2% of D1 college athletes?

Duke had success in the nfl just never really got the opportunity to be a lead back. He was one of the best receiving backs. Had at least 400 yards or more receiving 5 years in a rowAs much as I dislike Golden for the fraud he is, and also being responsible for the worst defenses Miami put on the field, I don't think he mishandled Duke.

True, Duke was a quality back that never really got the opportunity to be the feature back. Had a decent NFL career, but not as successful as most of us thought when he was drafted. The popular opinion on here is that it was Golden's fault for how Duke's NFL career transpired. Golden is a scumbag for many reasons, but I don't blame him for Duke's NFL life. I blame the Cleveland Browns for wasting his best years.Duke had success in the nfl just never really got the opportunity to be a lead back. He was one of the best receiving backs.

I just hope we’re not getting the 4-5 star busts.It was lumpy, with some dawgs and a lot of jags. Has been since Coker days. Mario is finally correcting that, yet can't get a QB, so we're still stuck in a rut.

Considering he came back for his senior year and they won the PAC12 and the Rose bowl, pretty sure Herbert wouldn’t trash Mario…Can she do an interview with Justin Herbert with a similar line of questioning?
When? No team he was on ever gave him that chance. Just look at the number of carries he got and that will tell youHe definitely got several opportunities to be the lead back. Smh

Cleveland tried to make him the featured back but, and maybe not his fault entirely because their team and line were TRASH, but he just wasn’t that type of guyHe definitely got several opportunities to be the lead back. Smh

Maybe if he had been drafted by someone else it could have been a little different but not night and day imo
I didn't say he would trash the caveman, but, but he might say he didn't come out of a real QB friendly system.Considering he came back for his senior year and they won the PAC12 and the Rose bowl, pretty sure Herbert wouldn’t trash Mario…
