Regardless of how this season ends, the University of Miami indicated this week that it wants Al Golden to remain the Hurricanes’ football coach, which isn’t a surprise but should end any speculation about the matter. Asked this week whether Golden will return as coach next season, UM athletic director Blake James made clear he will.

“Al is our coach and will continue to be our coach,” James said.

With Golden under contract through Feb. 1, 2020, the only way he does not return next season is if he decides to leave for another job, which would be surprising.

Meanwhile, James said in October that excluding cases of rules violations, he likes his coaches to have the authority to choose their assistants and Golden is "the one that needs to have the power to make all those [staffing] decisions, the specifics of it.”

James said Monday he was “disappointed” but not “discouraged” by Saturday’s loss at Virginia and likes the “progress made in the last month” before that game.

“It’s a building process; it’s not a flipping of the switch,” James said. “Anybody watching would be disappointed with the results on Saturday night. With that said, I’m committed to getting our program back to the top. Al is committed to getting the program back to the top.

“Sometimes you take a few steps forward and might take a step back. That’s the reality of life. We’re experiencing that, but I’m confident we’re going in the right direction.”

In fact, James said is “very encouraged” about the program: “We have a very bright future ahead of us. You see a quarterback like Brad Kaaya. How can you not be excited about the future of Hurricane football? [And defensively], there are tremendous improvements that unfortunately has gone a little unnoticed. Credit to everyone on that side of the ball with Al and [coordinator] Mark [D’Onofrio].”

Yes, James is aware that some fans are angry and want change.

“If people weren’t upset about a loss, you probably have a bigger concern because that means they have grown to accept it,” he said. “Nobody here accepts losses and I wouldn’t expect anything less of our fans.

“Do I get emails after losses? I do. I get emails from people that are very supportive, people pushing us to continue down the road of building this back to where it needs to be and others very passionate and upset and need to voice their frustration, and I understand that. It’s great to have such a passionate fan base. We want to continue to grow that. I hope everyone understands it’s a process.”

James said no donors have said they will stop donating because of unhappiness with the football program. “We’ve seen significant growth [with donations] even though we haven’t had the type of success we’ve had historically [on the field],” he said.

James is "very encouraged" about the direction of the program...

Yikes! Someone has been sippin on some stupid juice.
 
Which one of you mother ****ers is emailing him supportive emails pushing to...whatever he babbled about
 
We are 3-3 in our last 6. That's how you trend up and close the season strong.

If you can't "flip the switch" with a roster this loaded, the ******* electricity has been cut, you have no arms, and are a ******.

Unless he leaves we're stuck with this guy for 2-3 years until he takes another gig. 3,4,5 losses, no biggie.

Flake James just repeats the same tired lines over and over. Someone posted an email reply and it had basically every response James gave the reporter.

I can't even throw up anymore.
 
"James said Monday he was “disappointed” but not “discouraged” by Saturday’s loss at Virginia"

How does he feel about the other 2 out of 3 losses by Golden to London?

"defensively, there are tremendous improvements that unfortunately has gone a little unnoticed"

Lets see, who didn't notice? Oh yeah, Virginia's anemic offense didn't notice. Death by a thousand cuts.

You can't change stupid. Time to march (or riot).

Way to go Blake. Further alienate the fanbase. Even if he ends up firing Golden (obviously on the orders of somebody else), he's completely clueless.
 
James will do as he's told. If the people that matter want Golden gone, he'll be gone. You'd like for the BS coming from his mouth to stop but no AD makes a move without the go ahead from the money people.
 
u do know if he plans to fire Al, he wont say it publicly during the season. I would like to see the quotes when in 2010 right before the USF about randys job status. what they say publicly is far different from their words privately. his contract is a big roadblock but lets see what happens when we lose to pitt.
 
James is a fundraiser (and a pretty good one, it seems).

He won't be the one to pull the plug on Golden. What he says right now is irrelevant.
