I called it out after the 2013 recruiting fiasco (which prompted me to join this lovely site) but Golden was a cancer and it was reeking throughout this program.
I remember breaking down the talent we had compared to everyone in the ACC, ****, **** near every team in the BIG sans OSU, and on paper, we should've been perennial ACC Title game participants, at a minimum. We should've been vying for NY6 bowls w/ our rosters, yet we were vying for MPC.com bowls.
Golden was a horrible evaluator of talent, he was a horrible game day coach, had a horrible, HORRIBLE staph underneath him, and cost his players millions upon millions. F him and his life. Clearly, his players think less of him, as well. He shouldn't be around any football program, be it collegiate or professional. He needs to be evaluating which company's version of the nugget contains more chicken. That's all he good for.
