Has the fan base ever been this ****ed?

This is by far the worst. As MIA said, people defended Golden until the end. This has blown up completely in year 3

What is different now is the number of fans who have accepted that Miami is dead and will never be back. Staggering, and I can’t say I disagree with any of them.

It’s so painful. I’m a Cane fan from the 80’s

I can't speak for the fan base, but I was in 06,10,11,12, 2014 & in 2015 after the Cincinnati loss.

I wasn't on this site, but I was pretty angry during the majority of the Folden era because I never wanted him here in the first place & I hated how God awful he was in recruiting. I still to this very day have a visceral disdain for Al Folden.

Most of yall know how closely I follow college football, I actually watched several Temple games when Folden was HC there & I KNEW he wasn't gonna work in Miami.

Go watch that Penn St game in 09, watch vs Ohio in 09, or UConn, Central Mich & Buffalo in 08. The same pattern that followed him to Miami was there at Temple, that mf'er ALWAYS ALWAYS ALWAYS folded up.

His team's routinely lost close games that was a huge red flag for me & the fact he lost to fckin Villanova one year had him at the top of of my list of coaches not to hire. Yall have no idea how ****ed I was when he was named Miami's HC smh.
 
This fanbase has been perpetually ****ed for like the last 15 years- and rightfully so. It's actually more efficient to think of the brief spells during this era where we weren't ****ed based off delusion and false hope.

I think the difference is with Golden, people had hope that he'd eventually get himself fired and we could finally make a great hire and move forward as a program.

With Richt, he was the "great" (read: expensive) hire. There was a lot of doubt, but also a lot of hope. The 10-3 season felt really good for the most part. We frenzied ourselves into thinking we were FINALLY back.

And then this ****. 7-6 season, hopelessly stupid coaching decisions, sub-30 ranked recruiting class, losing our only good coach, the laziest DC search in history, odd dismissals...when you psych yourself up as much as we did, the letdown is far more brutal.

Plus, it's 3 years later and the brand of the U is more tarnished than ever. We're a doormat with a coach that was supposed to bring us back. With Golden, we were a doormat with a "who the **** is this guy?" coach.

This is a different kind of dissatisfaction. It's dissatisfaction AND hopelessness. At least with Golden, there was hope that we could move on. With Richt: we suck, he's obviously checked out, and he ain't going anywhere.

This.

Most all of us Cane fans have now suffered for years of bad coaching hires this last nearly 20 freaking years!

With Richt, he is an alum. Who was glad to be here, energized, got things going in the right direction.

Then his incompetence kicked in, stubbornness has shown up. He's not willing to admit his faults, and now he looks lost on the sideline. Very Golden like.

On the positive, hey we spent money on him! After he is fired next season, maybe we go to 5 million or more?

Even though the AD is fairly weak, his statement last night set the stage for next season to get rid of Richt if it doesn't turn around dramatically. And it won't. We will hope for 5 wins.

But , 5 mill at least put us in the ball game for another "quality " coach.
 
I’m ****ed because Richt decided to roll Rosier out there for BC Virginia Duke and yesterday when he could have played Perry and given Williams reps. Also the pitiful play calling, **** poor o line play, and the WR dropping everything added to it.

In my 37 years with the U, nope. Not like this. I've never felt this hopeless about the program, ever. We used to be ****ed if we went 9-2, we were spoiled and didn't know it. That anger was passion back then, this is just hatred, and for good reason. Fire him or shut it down.
 
I can't speak for anyone else, but I've never been more pizzed. I bought into coach Richt. I applauded the hire and felt that after the last three ****shows, we'd finally landed a coach that would come in and turn the program around. I disregarded the just miss years at UGA, as **** happens. So - while I'm frustrated that I bought the snake oil, I'm even more furious with the incompetent management, of this program, by ostensibly capable and competent people. From Blake James to CMR this has been a managerial nightmare. The hiring of mini Richt, should have been the first clue. This is a complete disaster.
 
As a head coach, I am more upset with Richt. Golden was a bargain bin hire, and we got what we paid for. Richt, on the other hand, is costing us out the rear, and his results are as bad or worse than Golden's.

I'll also throw this out there. If Richt was going against GOOD FSU and VaTech teams, what would his record be? Every good team on our schedule is having a rough few years, and somehow we still manage multiple 4 game losing streaks.

Yes about about every three yrs. when reality sets in. That once again we have the wrong coach.
