My lasting image of Al Golden...

Advertisement
Not to hurt any feelings or step on any toes.....BUT I would like to go on record and make note that my name is found nowhere on this thread prematurely supporting F.A.G.

While I do admit to drinking the koolaid for a moment, I never did so publicly...that is my dirty secret to deal with in therapy. **** you Al Golden!!!

Thank you

Tre

That sigh of relief when you realize your "Like" isn't attached to such an inability to see what was plainly obvious in retrospect, that being Golden's negligence (or his agent's)-- to even pick up a Miami Herald and investigate the state of the program and any potential problems -- or worse yet, his used car salesmanesque manipulation of the dip****s in administration who gave him an extension.

was the day the Shapiro story broke as the first days of fall camp in August of 2011 broke. His face and body language said it all, he ran right into a haymaker he didn't see coming( like Pacquiao vs Marquez last December). This wasn't the job he signed up for. I was talking about this with DMoney earlier, just judging by his reaction, there's no way he knew about this. Because if he did, I don't think he takes the job

He dealt with the suspensions going into the Maryland game, the emotion he showed after the Vatech loss in Blacksburg, I'll never forget and then the other hit piece by Charles Robinson actually tried to implicate him and Michael Barrow. The negative recruiting, the cloud of uncertainty, all that stuff.

But look at where UM is now. They are in the top ten( whether that sticks, we'll soon find out) but this guy has been more solid than the Rock of Gibraltar. I dare say he's been as important as Howard Schnellenberger was in his era as the UM coach. And through this whole ordeal, he actually became more committed to this program.

Again, we are blessed to have this guy as our CEO. The day he leaves( and I believe it will happen someday, unfortunately) will be a sad day for me as a die-hard Canes fan. But I'll thank him for what he's done for this program.

But right now he's a fighter who no longer has a broken hand, he's free to throw two-fisted combinations. This is now the job he wanted. The worst is over. He will be a better coach for this and UM will be a better institution after having gone through this fiasco. They are a better team/program than they were three years ago, and three years from now, they'll be a better team than they are now. I can't wait to see this program led by this Jersey guy, who led Temple out of the abyss and was the right man at the right time( to a degree, which I don't think anyone us really understood in December of 2010) to lead UM moving forward.

Alfred James Golden, thanks for being the same guy, every day( as he'd say)

That Texas Tech AD did something right during his brief tenure. There was no better person to take this job than Golden, no one.

People just dont know football!

i would have been hated if i was on this board back then!

as i was hated on the espn boards and other boards for NEVER being a blind follower of Folden.

first red flag was the binder... how the **** are you going to have A THREE HUNDRED PAGE BINDER to success when youve NEVER had ANY anywhere?

I could see jimmy johnson making a binder. maybe even michael irvin.... or ohil jackson... but al fuggin golden?

Please...

2nd red flag... the 3-4 defense. that WILL never work here and golden has ruined this program and its depth trying to force that square peg in the round hole that is florida football.

reading this comments is just comical and im glad i joined this board at the right time.

I spoke with Tony Barnhart earlier this year and asked him about Al Golden. He had nothing but high praise for Al. Said he was an exemplary coach and man. Tony also said that, off the record, Al had no idea what was coming in regards to allegations and if he did, he would not have taken the job.

If Al would have known what was about to hit, I don't think anyone would have blamed him for not taking the job. Heck, I wouldn't have blamed anyone for not taking that hot pile of **** deal. But, he didn't blink an eye. That is when HIS train started full speed ahead!

****! This school, this fan base owe him more than any amount of money! He pulled this program back from the edge of the cliff, LITERALLY!

Love me some Golden!

This hurts!

Anyone who believes Al was blindsided by the allegations is a plum idiot. The allegations were public knowledge well before the story was broke by yahoo. Where there is smoke there is fire and two men as intelligent as al golden and his agent were well studied and versed on all of the issues as well as potential issues with this program.

He was not blindsided at all. He used that to lock himself into a contract because the school didn't know the severity of the issue at the time.

Golden is a sheisty motha......

I for one was not fooled after i sat in the rain and watched us lose to a terrible merryland team due to terrible coaching

I was definitely hoodwinked.

I lost faith with Va Tech last year. Seeing another scrub QB play like an All American was the final straw.

I always cringe with these bumped threads since I know I have some gems out there back when I used to be infatuated with Corch Al.

Al Golden is an honest honorable man. He stuck by us at our darkest hour.

http://www.ibtimes.com/wisconsin-co...n-job-badgers-continue-hunt-head-coach-937002
After he found out: Alvarez was linked to several coaches, but some can be eliminated.

Miami’s Al Golden turned down an offer Thursday according to Sports Illustrated. Golden could have moved on from the Hurricanes, who may be in line for sanctions from the NCAA, but apparently showed loyalty for the program.


I do know that if he gets that Wisky job, he won't leave away in just a couple of years, that's for sure, and Wisky wouldn't have to worry about that.
