You spent seven years coaching at Miami and then resigned over the summer. Explain why you left Miami.

Here is what happened. Right before training camp would start every year Coach Golden would give us a few weeks off. The last week of my vacation, I went to visit my mom in Georgia. She was temporarily living with my brother at the time.

Respect. Dude put the love of the game before his rehab. He'll always be a true Cane.

Chud or Butch gona need a LB coach next year.
 
Barrow gets life. His understanding of God and how personal relationships intertwine with God and family shows his strong faith.

there is only one inconsistency. he says he needed to take time off to be at home to care for his mother because he did not want that burden on his wife --> " I said first of all, I can’t continue to coach and dump my mom on my wife like that. It would be unfair and besides it’s my mom not hers."

he then says his mom is a lot better, but not enough to live on her own, which means she is still living with him and still doesnt want the burden on his wife. nothing's changed --> "However, she’s not at the point where she can live on her own though and she still needs long term health care. "

then he says he interviewed for the auburn job and is ready to get back into coaching, although nothing has changed --> "It sounds like you’re excited and ready to start coaching again somewhere. Yes, I would love to continue my coaching career."

i dont disagree with the fact that he resigned in part because of his mom, however, i am pretty convinced that is NOT the entire story.
 
Wouldn't be surprised to see Barrow coaching in Miami post Golden era. Impressive dude and walks the talk unlike so many coaches in the sport today.

we never get the entire story. But I believe that was the primary reason
