I agree w/ you that Golden and Richt was notorious of holding on to staff members, but we still had turnover:
Fisch, McDonald, Richardson, Barrow, Carroll, Franklin, Swasey were all shown the door w/in a 4 1/2 yr period.
Then Richt made a complete overhaul of the entire previous staff.
3 yrs later, we have an entire overhaul on the offensive side of the ball.
1 yr later, we have another overhaul of the offensive side of ball.
Fisch and Franklin both left for promotions to the NFL, if you can believe it or not. Even though both of them (especially Franklin) sucked, somehow the NFL was interested in them. They definitely did not get fired.
The other guys you mentioned were all Golden assistants who Richt fired.
That’s the norm at any school, not just Miami, when a head coach gets fired. Practically the entire staff usually gets fired with them.
To rephrase my previous post slightly, neither Golden nor Richt ever fired a single assistant who they themselves hired.
