“It’s hard when I know any bad decision I make on the field is going to affect my coach,” Kaaya said. “If I throw a pick, or if I do something that’s going to lead us losing this game, there’s going to be a banner up at our next home game. We’re 3-0 and I’m going into the Cincinnati game and there’s a banner. I’m just thinking, ‘I hope we don’t lose this game. I hope I play well so my Twitter mentions aren’t going to have, ‘I hate coach Golden’ or ‘Fire coach Golden.’
“We put in all this work and there’s a banner saying, ‘Bring back Butch.' ... 'Throw it in the tank for the season.’ Geez you’re giving up on us, too? That part right there, it was hard to take at times as a player. It was a bit nerve-wracking.”
Worst fanbase in football. ****ing embarrassing. Brad had it good compared to Jacory too, it's amazing we can even recruit top QB's with the way we treat our players.
SMH. Crazy that the palyers had to deal with that.
Wtf r y'all talkn about... All of that is the reason Golden is gone, Kaaya is just the type of person that cares about what other ppl are dealing with but he never had any hate aimed towards him. Jacory is the one UM qb that was terrotized by this fan base mainly bc we had a black bc that wasn't getting it done
When the stadium is empty and the fanbase does nothing but bash coaches how could that not be viewed as hate his way? Golden getting fired was a foregone conclusion the banners were just added embarrasment. You idiots wanted blake james gone too but its clear now he had a plan and was 5 steps ahead your beligerance.
If you idiots had your way golden wouldve been fired 2 years ago and shalala wouldve picked another coach and truly buried this program
Golden should've been fired 2 years ago and you have no clue how that would've turned out if he were, Shala wasn't going to do **** she already knew the fan base had it out for her at that time.... And We definitely would have more talent and not be dealing with depth issues on this team if he was fired back then. Are u seriously defending Al Golden?
Highlight in bold where i defended Al Golden.......Shalalas hires got progressively worse and she didn't give a **** about the UM fanbase because the UM fanbase is the laughing stock of P5. Google miami hurricanes empty stadium or banners and read a little bit if you lack the necessary self awareness. The fact she kept Golden so long only cements the theory she would've hired another POS.
