I still take no joy in that loss, TBH. Especially considering that Golden’s replacements have been Richt and Manny, who haven’t exactly brought the Canes back to glory.

And why are you randomly mentioning that loss now?

If you dont care about Shannon or Golden then why the **** are you on this thread arguing back n forth running to Folden's defense? And why you so concerned about what color Tates Dutyhole is?

Defending Alf??? Ok, I have a long posting history here. Nothing is more pathetic than someone who blames every shortcoming and failure on race. Way to live life with standards.

Just saying, someone brought up one corching beat down and someone else gave another example, that’s all.

I have been on this board long enough to know that if the thread would have started with Randy’s loss to USF, that someone would’ve thrown Golden’s beat down against Clemson in there similarly as did happen in reverse here.

Golden is considered the king of corches on CIS.
 
I’ll say one thing about Randy, besides being a real Cane. If the school had listened to him about that booster I grew up with, we wouldn’t have found ourselves on probation.

Randy saw problems and tried to protect the kids and the school. Unfortunately, the university president had her head up the booster’s âss fawning for donations.

What’s sad is our booster/donor pool was so pathetic back then that conman was considered a “high roller”, when he was literally flashing rolls of pennies. Used washing machines and steaks with gristle at Benihana’s got us in trouble.

Our donor base is marginally better now. But not by much. FSU fans literally bought out Willie. Here? We have fans flying $75 banners and encouraging people not to go to games.

We need to fire our current fan base/boosters and hire new ones that actually contribute when needed. (Minus the lady that paid for most of IPF)

Somehow I doubt Golden was making 160k. He would have stayed at Temple if that were the salary Miami was offering.

Former Miami Hurricanes football coach Al Golden still thinks the university owes him money.

That's what Golden's attorneys detailed in a breach-of-contract claim filed in Miami federal court on Wednesday, per a report from the SunSentinel. The lawsuit states that Miami owes Golden approximately $3 million in separation pay as of October 2018.

Golden led the Hurricanes football team from 2011 until his firing in 2015. The ex-Miami coach was fired seven games into the 2015 season. His final appearance on the Miami sidelines came in a 58-0 loss to Clemson, as the Tigers handed the Hurricanes their largest defeat in program history. Golden, who is in his third season as an NFL assistant with the Detroit Lions, left Miami with a 32-25 record, including a 17-18 mark against ACC competition.

“The University of Miami is disappointed to learn that former Coach Golden filed suit," the school said in a statement. "The University has fulfilled all of its obligations to Coach Golden in connection with his separation from the University and will defend the claims.”

The specifics of Golden's contract agreement were laid out in his lawsuit, via the SunSentinel:

According to court documents, those included a $750,000 bonus for a first-place finish in the BCS Championship Game; a $45,000 bonus for a first-place finish in the ACC Championship and an $80,000 bonus for earning national Coach of the Year recognition from nine different organizations.

Additionally, Golden would have been entitled to a $175,000 bonus for any 12-win seasons, a $75,000 bonus for any 11-win season and a $25,000 bonus for a 10-win season.

Court documents also show Golden was initially entitled to a base salary of $150,000 per year, though that was eventually raised to $160,000. Miami also agreed to provide the former coach with a luxury automobile during the terms of his contract, a $700 monthly stipend for a car for his wife Kelly, and the school agreed to pay for Golden’s membership at the Deering Bay Country Club.

Golden’s contract also stipulated that he receive the use of a suite at what was then called Sun Life Stadium, as well as six parking passes and 20 premium event tickets, 12 tickets for each Hurricanes road game, 16 tickets for any bowl games in which Miami played and eight season tickets for both Hurricanes’ men’s basketball games and baseball games.

Golden is now the second consecutive former Miami Hurricanes head coach to sue the university for breach of contract. Randy Shannon, who coached the team from 2007-10, also filed a lawsuit against Miami in 2012. Shannon and the Hurricanes later settled that dispute, although the terms of that settlement were not revealed publicly. Shannon is now the UCF Knights defensive coordinator, a job he began in 2017.

Golden faced self-imposed postseason bans in his first two seasons as the Miami coach after NCAA inquiries into impermissible benefits provided by former booster Nevin Shapiro. However, those infractions occurred before Golden was hired. After his Miami firing, Golden spent two seasons as the Detroit Lions tight ends coach before switching to linebackers coach this season.

The Hurricanes signed Mark Richt to a six-year contract to replace Golden in 2015. Richt's deal was extended through the 2023 season in May, and he will earn a base salary of $4,058,000 in 2018, according to the latest coaching salary figures obtained by USA Today.

WTF? No wonder we ended up with Golden. Nobody else was probably willing to take the Miami job.

Why did Golden even leave Temple if that’s what Miami paid him?

Maybe there’s a misprint in the paper. Maybe they meant to write $1,600,000, but forgot the last zero.

Golden automatically got some TV and radio money that started at $1.25 million in 2011 and increased every year.

Univ. of Miami Sued by Fired Coach Al Golden, You Screwed Me Out of $3 Million!

Al Golden's contract with Miami is VERY interesting.
amp.tmz.com amp.tmz.com

The base salary was pretty nominal.

He couldn’t have sued for $3 million if his true salary was $160,000. That would only be his buyout total if he had something like 18 years left on his contract.
