Have seen more practice videos and coach and player interviews, since Richt was hired, than in the entire Golden/Shannon eras combined.

So Refreshing, gotta love it.

Not true. Up until this past season, Golden was great at letting the media in, and he rolled out those Raising Canes videos that were cool for a while.
 
Golden knew he and his buddies were frauds.

I think the more telling thing is when you watch the Player interviews. Guys look loose and are openly speaking their mind, whereas under Golden and Shannon you'd be hard pressed to tell me they weren't looking over their shoulder as they gave scripted and thoroughly digested answers that would make a North Korean wince at how robotic their words and body language were.

Shannon never had his players scared to speak their mind. They always openly complained about feeling favortism
 
The 3 penny vids were pure self promotion for the 'genius' who was Al Golden. As the failures mounted, the videos faded into the background.

It's a shame that 3 Penny didn't focus it's energies on Jim Larranaga and the basketball team.....a real coach with an interesting, old school history who was building an afterthought program into the most exciting mens school sport over the last decade all the while pulling off big upsets. Opportunity lost.

Yeah, al came in saying the right things regarding getting former players involved, mending relationships with local coaches, and media access. Turns out that when you don't deliver on the field you start shutting people out so they won't tell you anything you don't want to hear. I imagine randy started off talking about how he was going to repair relationships with local coaches too.

His scheme didn't fit south Florida talent and he was to hard headed to change. Homeboy couldn't even make adjustments at half time.
 
Our last three coaches should have NEVER happened. Videos or not, none of them belonged here.

Alvarez would have had the same philosophy with better results due to adjustments and better overall coaching acumen, but at the end of the day, we would still be mediocre by historical Canes standards.

Golden created (or rolled with) several false narratives in order to create his own self-generated expectation levels. This is narcissists behavior 101. Worked on UM's administration, CanesFam, and numerous Canes bloggers.

All of the secrecy that some coaches indulge in is a survival tactic. Its a clear sign of incompetence and a need to control info because info control perception. Perception, not reality, is air and water for a narc.

Coker was a necessary evil..... Don't know any catch that we were looking at in 01 that could of let that team be it's self. He pretty much stayed out of his own way minus that bc game. Still was rightly fired..... The folks after him really never should of happened.
