Golden has no one to blame but himself. If he simply had hired a defensive coordinator his troubles would be over. Coley has his faults but has never cost Golden a game.
It has always been the defense who cost UM games by giving up massive amount of yards. His loyalty is something I admire and will always respect Golden as a man. But you can't be a leader if you are afraid or can't make tough decisions. Randy fired his best friend Walton after one year of being a DC. Which helped Walton in the long run because he got a job in the NFL as a positions coach and is now a DC.
I respect his loyalty but it is the reason I dislike him. To think that a simple DC change and UM is a top 10 team again makes me sick to my stomach. I under stand loyalty but Golden what about your kids and family? I am sure if he had the chance D'Onfrio would have fired Golden to save his career and family. Not being able to make tough decisions means that he was never fit to be a coach
Golden seems to be a nice person, he doesn't have the killer instinct needed to be a successful head coach at a top level school. Right now he's a yes man to the to the powers to be at the university.
Golden isn't a nice person.
True dat. Folden is a sociopathic POS.
Coley is terrible losing fisch killed us
I disagree with you on James Coley. When you compare the defensive roster with the offensive roster it is night and day. Coley is working with bread crumbs when it comes to talented when compared to the defense.
Allen Hurns was a 3 star recruit who set records under Coley.
Phillips Dorsett was a 3 star recruit who had a huge season and became a first rounder.
Rashawn Scott a 3 star recruit who is having a big year and on pace to clips 1000 yards
Clive Walford a 3 star recruit who developed to be one of our best tightens
Herb Waters a 3 star recruit who is having a big year so far.
Trey Brady another 3 star who has stepped
On offense we don't have a lot of highly rated players but we seem to always get the most out of them and many over achieve. The defense is full of highly rated players but seem to under perform. Our entire starting defense is four and five star players except 2.
Burns 4 star
Howard 5 star
Corn 4 star
Bush 4 star
Harris 4 star
Hert Jr college
McCord 4 star
Kirby 4 star
Chad 5 star
Moten 4 star
Carter 4 star
Even our backups on defense are highly rated but none have over achieved
