### No, UM is not threatening to ban former players who have been critical of the coaching staff from coming to campus, athletic director Blake James assures us.

But one UM coach isn’t just sitting back and taking it.

After former UM offensive line standouts Brett Romberg and Joaquin Gonzalez sharply criticized the coaching and publicly advocated change --- Romberg called for Al Golden’s ouster, Gonzalez said UM needs a “Butch Davis type” coach --- offensive line coach Art Kehoe called both of them separately last week and said loudly and clearly that he didn’t appreciate their opinions.

“He was yelling,” Romberg said.

“He chewed [me out],” Gonzalez said.

Kehoe recruited and coached both of them and was furious that they suggested a move that would put Kehoe’s job at risk.

“Art said, ‘Why the **** are you trying to get your former coach fired?’” Romberg said. “But it’s frustration building up. It’s a giant cloud hanging outside the Hecht Center that people inside won’t acknowledge….

“Ultimately, it has been a ****-poor decade by the Miami football program. And Al is reluctant to fire his friend [defensive coordinator Mark D’Onofrio].”

(A friend of Golden cautions that perception is overstated, and a friendship will not prevent Golden from changing his staff if he believes it’s needed.)

Romberg, a former All-American who now works as a talk show host on The Ticket, has great respect for Kehoe.

So after going back and forth on the phone for a while, did Kehoe say anything to make him feel better about the state of the program?

“No,” Romberg said.

Gonzalez sheepishly declined to discuss his conversation with Kehoe.

### Why did Golden ask former players to watch film with him during the weekend of the spring game in April?

Romberg said players told Golden “we were frustrated with the way they were playing and questioning the dedication of the kids. Al said there was a big difference between this spring and the spring before and wanted to assure us the old-school mentality had come back. But that message he portrayed didn’t come through [on film]. Al couldn’t get the film off quickly enough.”

Still, even though former defensive player Julio Cortes asked Golden what Denzel Perryman was being coached to read (as esteemed writer Dave Hyde recently noted), Romberg said he cannot recall anybody else posing confrontational questions during that film session. And for all his criticisms of the UM staff, Romberg said players appreciate that Golden has been very welcoming and invited them to come to practice.

### Though Golden has been classy in not addressing criticism from former players, Romberg said Kehoe indicated to him that it bothers Golden. A friend of the coach said Golden believes some players who criticize him are living in the past, to an extent, and don’t fully grasp that the game has changed.

### One person very close to the staff said the Golden/Mark D’Onofrio philosophy defensively, which often includes safeties playing deeper than they should, is that UM would rather bend and give up smaller chunks of yards --- with the hope of eventually forcing a punt or turnover --- than risk giving up the big play. They would prefer a slow death to a fast one, in other words.

But it hasn’t worked enough, so why not change?

“There’s not enough confidence they can do anything else,” the UM person said. One reason is that “none of our safeties are very good at playing the ball in the air.”

What kind of coach would he be if he didn't defend himself. I actually like that he did have that fire to do so even if I want Folden gone.

the outrage on everything is getting tired. Next time Art call people and say you suck.

This REALLY ****es me off. The game has not "changed", what a soft shouldered excuse.

Football today is won by good coaching that develops players and puts them in a position to succeed, same as 30 years ago. Sure, schemes and philosophies on both sides of the ball may change over time but good coaches adapt and keep on winning.
 
That was disgusting to read. Hurlie is OK with 9 wins and Golden complains our guys are living in the past.

"The game has changed"

No **** you stupid ****. Judging by our archaic defensive scheme I'm not sure if golden has noticed. So what if the game has changed. Should Miami not be expected to compete for championships anymore?

Get this piece of **** the **** out.

Did Julio Cortes play LB in Jimmy Johnson's 3-4? I found a bio saying he finally got his degree at Johnson's urging, in 1990. I remember him playing for the '83 team.

Romberg and Gonzalez were offensive players. Are they criticizing the offensive play or the defense? Nobody's happy with the defense. I'd like to know more about the critiques of the defense.

Kehoe is lucky to have a job. He was fired once, and sue his former employer. You rarely find a former employer reinstating or rehiring a former employee who sues them unless reinstatement is won in the suit.
