is al tryin to keep his job?

[OrangetieFatface]

If we go 3 -1 and play well against fsu, and win a bowl I'll feel good going into next season.

That isn't why I asked.

If Al goes 5-3 for the THIRD STRAIGHT SEASON (0-4 to FSU), what does that tell you about Al and Co?

You can't deny the big picture. It tells me we're not where we want to be. But I don't think that's als ceiling.

Holy ****s in my mouth. He's 1-22 against teams with 8 or more wins. Never beat a team with less than 5 losses at miami. How ****ing high could his ceiling possibly be? Is there another football league where he consistently beats good teams that I don't know about? How do you people keep defending him? Even the worst coaches in all of CFB get lucky and beat a better team from time to time, but not Al. How high is his ceiling exactly? Because at this point he's proved that he literally, statistically, convincingly can't beat an average team(8-5 or better).

He'll gain 2 wins against teams with 8 or more wins this year unless Arkansas State and Duke completely collapse. Though, Arkansas State is not anything to brag about when you are Miami.

All I am going to say is I was on here saying I didn't like Golden and was hoping he'd be gone based off the results in the first half of the season. After watching the VT game 3 times over now, it brought be back just a tiny bit. The defense played 10x more aggressive and we were matching personnel more than ever before and even loading up the box when needed. If the team keeps that up and we roll through the rest of the schedule besides FSU, then I don't know where I will stand. If, and it is a big IF, we win out including the FSU game, then I will probably be a Golden supporter again.

I know it's cool to hate on Golden here and I am not saying he hasn't earned a good amount of the criticism. I also know that our fan base is impatient as are most this day in age and I also know that the quick turnarounds like Auburn are not the norm or else they wouldn't be big stories when they happened. I'm not a Moper or a Slurper. I just take what I see and digest it. What I saw before the Cincinnati game was enough to make me sick. What I have seen since the Cinci game makes me think just maybe these coaches can grow into the job. Only time will tell.

We're in the same boat. I want to be wrong. I want to crown him, I want us to be winners under golden. But the problems are so deep and wide spread that it's become impossible to ignore. If we beat Fsu I'll be the first to admit I'm wrong and flip the script. No problem. But we all know (secretly) that won't happen. He's out of his league, coaches scared in big games. We've been blown out in 6 of his last 14 games, to expect something different is insanity

I get where you and some others are coming from. I had a lot of doubt going into the VT game. But as I have stated, I have watched that game 3 times over now and saw so many things that were better that VT had no barring on that I feel like maybe they can grow into the job. I just hope I am right, but if I am wrong, I'll admit it.

If we were in the Atlantic Division Gorlden would have already been fired.

 

[weownfsu]

Maybe, just maybe, Nebraska is a good team. Maybe.

Oh. Got it we should lose to good teams. Maybe we should find a coach who can beat the good teams?

no, but when you lost to good teams, you don't mope about it.. especially when you're picked to be an above average team to begin with. We can't pretend this is the 01 canes that lost to some 4 loss nebraska team..

Oh. Got it when you lost to good teams, don't mope.

What about when you lost by double digits to good teams? Does that change anything?

like i said, if this were the 01 canes, sure, this is the 2014 canes, who by all accounts (unbiased) were a 7-9 win team.. if i'm racing a lexus v. a porsche and i lose, i can't be mope about it.

Now what's the problem. We're a 7 win team just like you said, and NOW you're upset?

 

[Era66]

7 wins is not guaranteed this team could end 6-7 with 3 straight blowouts.

 

[weownfsu]

7 wins is not guaranteed this team could end 6-7 with 3 straight blowouts.

You're correct. I see us losing against Pitt, but DaU83 gave up when we had 7 wins so I'm not sure of the issue.
