Kehoe calls Romberg and Joaquin and yells at them

It's funny how the simps readily accept stupid comments like "they're not confident in their Safeties."

Why not follow up by pointing out that they recruited those guys and those guys had offers from bama and LSU and other major power programs? Those guys are 4 and 5 star blue chippers. If you can't develop them or sign someone you like better in 4 years, then how is that anyone's fault but Folden's?

These reporters need to connect the dots and quit making it appear that our players are a bunch of unathletic slugs that no one else wanted.

The game has changed. As a coach, you change and adapt with it. Adapt or die. Al chooses death. Get him out my sight.
 
Another day, another depressing article/post about this football team. I can't believe what my beloved Canes have become.
 
Kehoe's reaction simply underscores his utter lack of confidence in his coaching abilities, as well as his coaching opportunities elsewhere. He knows that no decent program will hire him when he is inevitably fired from UM. Seriously, how pathetic can he be to call his former players and yell like a toddler, bc he can't take the criticism. What a sad, sad commentary.

Get this coaching staff the **** out of Coral Gables stat.
 
And "the game has changed" crap is the most defeatist comment I can remember hearing from a D1 head coach.

The changes have not prevented a ton of teams from having sustained success: FSU, several SEC schools, OU, Stanford, Oregon, and the list goes on. Golden has finally convinced me that he is worse than Shannon.
 
What a ******* clown show.

While there are countless things to make mention of, the biggest to me was this quote: "They would prefer a slow death to a fast one, in other words." That is the loser mentality that permeates our program. Golden's scheme is for losers - maybe we'll catch a break and the other team will give us the game. How about taking the ******* game and forcing our will upon the opponent? Golden and Dorito are just telling every player we have "you suck" every day they impose this ****** scheme upon them. I don't know how the players cope with being told they suck every day.

I hope Golden's coaching career at Miami dies a fast death. Props to Romberg for going public. His love of the PROGRAM is greater than his love of a coach. Novel ******* concept.

And LMFAO @ "There’s not enough confidence they can do anything else." Get ****ed you stupid little *****.

EXACTLY! How the **** can they know these kids can't do anything else if all they practice is the same crap over and over. This issue is the coaches only know one way to call a defensive and if it doesn't work, it doesn't work. See Al Groh, you carve him up, he folds and just mopes along until he's fired. The staff has done the same thing because it's all they know. It's what they've learned.
 
Not down as much as some on Kehoe. Other than the Louisville game, the OL has played reasonably well. Also done a decent job developing some of the younger guys. And, surprisingly, Art appears to have recruited well the last couple years.

What bugged me and found interesting is this line. Who initially evaluated and is now responsible for developing?

“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.”

### 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.

It's hilarious that Golden is ridiculing others for not fully grasping how much the game has changed when he stubbornly trots out the same outdated defensive system year in and year out, causing us to not be able to defend new age spread attacks, traditional pro-style offenses, or one-dimensional running schemes like Nebraska's or Georgia Tech's.

Golden and those he's brainwashed are trying to lower fan and former player expectations with this bulls***. Demanding greatness isn't living in the past when you're located in the recruiting hotbed of America.

This. Golden's "the game has changed" nonsense is another way to say that he has no clue how to defend the modern day college offense. He's not evolving - that's why he's stuck.

This quote is off today's ESPN article about the Cards Bruce Arians

Along the way, he saw many a Hot Young Coach fail miserably when he had to figure things out on his own. "If you know only one system," Arians says, "you don't know anything."

"All that sleeping-in-the-office stuff -- guys can only learn so much," he says. "It's all overdone. There's a time to cut it off. If you're spending all night in the office, you don't have either an offense or a defense, and you're looking for somebody else's to steal."

Keep the pressure on, fellas. El Foldo is cracking. He will do everything he can to find another job if the banners keep flying and the former players keep calling him out.

This. Golden spends hours upon hours to research and all he comes up with is an intractable philosophy that can't stop anything. In other words, he has no clue how to field a good defense.

And lol at Kehoe - I expected him to defend Golden but he didn't. HE pretty much said "don't get me in trouble for leaking you info about this sh1tty corch."

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.

He didn't play linebacker. He played defensive end because we ran a 5-2 in 1983. To say the game hasn't change is bullshyte. I repeat we ran a 5-2 in 1983. Offenses have changed significantly. They are running spread read option or spread air raid. You're seeing the best athletes on offense so that's why you're getting X-box type games like Baylor/TCU.

There are quite a few defenses defending spread with 3-4 looks.

This is not a defense of what we're running. I don't like it but that's a long discussion. I do agree with one point. Our safety play has been horrible.

Of course the game as changed. I think that's a minority opinion on these boards. What doesn't change is Al's philosophy. He has not shown the ability to be creative on defense in regard to philosophy/personnel/scheme. The game has changed - Al has not.
 
Kehoe's comments kind of remind me of the remaining Golden guzzlers still left on this planet.

They ***** and whine about flying banners and guys like Phillip Buchanon openly bashing Golden and Co., all while putting the coaching staff over the well-being of the program.

Go root for Temple, you losers.
 
I think what we need is a separate Board of Directors for the football program comprised of former players, coaches and business stakeholders. One of the members can then be appointed as the liaison to the BoT.

Its clear there is a massive void of leadership, business savvy, commitment to winning, passion. dedication and phucking respect to the program; what it has meant, what it continues to mean and its current and future economic value.

Commitment to winning. Accountability. Results.

So we're 4 years into Golden's regime and he hasn't been able to recruit, develop, or find a safety that can play the ball in the air?

Is this ******* retarded or something? I'm honestly at the point where it would be tough to convince me Golden is better coach than Shannon...and that's saying a lot.
Click to expand...

Let's be fair - it's really tough to find and recruit athletic guys for our secondary in South Florida, or recruit players from out of state to fill the safety position, with our lack of history of success at safety. Why would you want to come play safety at Miami?

I mean, come on. What's almost more insulting than suggesting that we still don't have anyone on our roster that has good ball skills at the position is that he's throwing the kids under the bus even though it wouldn't make a difference either way in our terrible scheme. One of the many unbelievable things about our defense the past 3+ years is that it seems like our secondary is rarely in a position to make a play on the ball in the air. I honestly don't know the last time one of our guys broke on a ball and jumped a route to get an INT, as most of our INTs have been from terrible overthrows by QBs. If this was just in one year, you could say that those particular guys may not have good ball skills. However, with the talent level we have now in the secondary, and yet the same result, it's pretty clear that the scheme and/or fundamentals are holding our players back from making plays.

better start preparing them high school job applications
 
I would have had a lot more respect for Kehoe if he had gone to Golden and said "look, it's not just mediots and know-nothing fans criticizing us here -- these are former players who actually know what the **** they are talking about. We better change something or we will all be out of a job soon." Instead he did the exact opposite. He is a Golden enabler. And a whiny ***** to boot.
 
“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.”

Aren't these your safeties corch? Didn't you recruit them solely to play the position for you? Fat Albert Gluten has lost his mind.
 
I don't post, but read daily. If I have something of substance I'll share. With that said...

To add more to the story of what this awesome coaching staff is about:

After the Cincy game, a gf of mine was working at her hair salon and was taking a break....when she bumps into a man claiming to be a Canes coach. Turns out.... It was uncle jethro. They small talk for a few and apparently he was meeting up with a couple of the coaches for drinks shortly. Anyway, she's not up and obsessed with the Canes like most of us but she's not blinded by the fact that we are simply not coached well. So she asks, "what's going on with the team? When are we going to get more pressure on the QB??"

Jethro's reply? "When they decide to pay me/us more money."

That's your coaching staffs mentality fellas!
