I know Hackson's career has devolved into being the athletic department's propaganda do-boy, but wow. I can't believe he had the plums to publish this:
Kuperstein also said the purported email to coaches included a reference to UM having a grueling schedule "with nine night games." Some UM fans have mocked Golden for mentioning UM having a lot of night games, but college coaches typically prefer earlier games so they get a jump-start on the next week. There are assuredly reasons for criticizing Golden, but this isn't one of them.
You have got to be f*cking kidding me.
A coach at a perennial college football power is blaming night games for his 6-6 record in his 4th year, and this isn't a reason to criticize? He should be criticized, castrated, and exiled. People wonder why his teams quit? Why his teams are always so soft? They take on the attitude of old Pop Warner Al here, along with his carefree, afternoon game loving, juicebox slingin', just have fun out there ways.
This guy comes to a ratings monster like Miami and tries to blame the prime-time games for his pitiful performance? Get the **** out of here. If you can't handle coaching at this level, admit it, be a man and say you are in over your heard. Say you failed this season. Trying to invent excuses like this is pathetic.
Oh, and for a coach that values "getting an extra jump-start" on preparation for games, he sure did cancel a lot of practices this season.
