Please do not change the narrative of what I am getting across.
1. Al Golden needed to go. He was a horrible game day coach and developer of talent.
2. Mark D'Nofrio. See #1 and multiply it by 5.
3. I was tremendously happy when we brought in Mark Richt, Manny Diaz, and Coach Kool.
In all honesty I am tired of hearing that he didn't bring in quality talent to the program. Considering that we were not winning, the self-imposed sanctions, horrible facilities, attendance, suspensions, and overall gloom hanging over program, the guy brought in players who can compete at a high level.
Offensively- Brad Kaaya may be a 1st Rd pick and is considered to be the #1 Pro style QB heading into 2017 draft. Mark Walton, Joseph Yearby, and Gus Edwards are all big time backs who were all recruited by the big boys. Stacy Coley, Braxton Berrios, Chris Herndon, and David Njoku are all big time talents and just need a OC to put them in the best position to succeed.
Defensively- Just think that we just lost AQM and Jermaine Grace to suspension just like we lost guys like Eddie Johnson, Alex Figueroa, Gionni Paul, and others years previous. Still in the stable were players like Demetrius Jackson, Chad Thomas, Kenrick Norton, RJ McIntosh, Gerald Willis, Trent Harris, Joe Jackson, Anthony Moten, And Courtel Jenkins just on the DL (Player all committed to Golden). Throw in other guys like Quarterman, Owens, Elder, Redwine, Burns (last yr 1st Rd), Jaquan Johnson, Jamal Carter, and Rayshawn Jenkins.
I am just tired of hearing about how we need to wait until we get the players. Yes, I think Richt will bring in tremendous classes to UM. But, lets not just dismiss these guys as over achievers. The previous staff was not harnessing their talent, but they did bring in some real good players. So, if I had to grade Al Golden, I would give him a D- as a coach and a B+ (considering all circumstances) at assembling talent.
