But part of it, I think, is because Golden, in reacting to that scandal, aspired to turn Miami into something altogether different, something that contradicted the program's countercultural historical identity.

Golden played football at Penn State, and is a protégé of Joe Paterno, the coach who long stood for the symbolic idealism of college sports (at least until the Jerry Sandusky scandal upended that public profile). Golden wears a shirt and tie on the sideline, as Paterno did; Golden is committed to abiding by the rules and working within the system, but maybe this is the wrong approach altogether for a program that made its name by bucking the rules.

If Golden loses on Saturday, the chances of him retaining his job beyond this season grow ever slimmer. Even if he wins, he might still have no chance. The fanbase at Miami has already turned on him, in part because Golden regressed from nine wins in 2013 to a 6-7 record last year. Anything short of an appearance in the ACC Championship game might not be enough to permit him another season at Miami. And maybe that's not such a bad thing. Maybe Golden would be a better fit at a program with a simpler history, a blocky and conservative agricultural institution like Iowa State or Indiana. And maybe Miami would be better off with a coach who fits ethos of the region: Someone slick, someone fast-talking, someone who will do whatever it takes to win.

Everything about the current program is the exact opposite of what we used to be and what we should be today

The fundamental problem with Golden is outline in the article and I have been saying this for 3 years:

He does not understand nor embrace the culture down here. Not just at UM, but Miami in general.

We are a city of flash, in your face, sh*t talking people who spend more money than we make, but have a **** of a good time doing it.

Golden is trying to fit his Paterno-esque philosophy which works on a bunch of middle american steel working people, into kids from the pork and beans.

When has Folden's philosophy ever worked? It doesn't work here and it hasn't worked at a high level anywhere else. He couldn't win the MAC or pull any upsets even with the top recruiting classes in the MAC.
 
Wow, they just played a clip of Mike riley's response when asked about what he knew about Golden. All he could say about Golden was that he didn't know much about him except that he rebuilt a bad Temple program.

How pathetic.

That's a fair description, but it doesn't include the BOT. I suspect that they mostly despise the average citizen of Miami.

Guysm, Golden getting destroyed, it's happening

His most damning failure, however, is that the Hurricanes have become indistinguishable from one of their greatest foils. That the Nebraska team could be labeled "boring," for instance, is not really a cause for concern: it is, after all, a school mired on the prairie, far away from blue chip talent, and whose defining motif is that its defense wears plain black jerseys. The Cornhuskers have often been able to transcend those realities, but no one looks down on them when they relapse.

Boring, however, is a mortal sin in Cane country, where the university sits among the lushest recruiting ground in the country, with a football team that thrives on being lively almost to its own detriment. The city of Miami screams vibrancy, and so it is one rung short of depressing when its defining athletic institution is this enervated. These Hurricanes are what a vanquished bully looks like in the epilogue of a fairy tale, so abjectly listless that one begins to feel sorry they were deposed in the first place.

Granted, Golden's eventual successor will share the same unenviable task of toeing the line between outlaw and order. It is no simple mandate to authentically channel the "give absolutely no *****" spirit that once fueled the U, not when there is exponentially more pressure to punish student athlete's criminal activities, on the one hand, and to blow up harmless grievances against sportsmanship on the other. There's no way for the old Miami to truly exist in the world of college athletics today. Big picture, that's probably for the best.

Yet there is room for far more than what the Hurricanes show under Golden. It was always too reductive to assume that Golden would be a poor fit simply because of his Penn State background, but it has been just as uncomfortable a marriage as feared.

There is, at least, a silver lining: whoever replaces him will be better suited to the place almost by default. With it once archaic facilities now finally up to outsized college football standards, the last great hurdle to success has been removed. Results will, and should, be expected. What remains to be seen is whether the next Hurricanes coach will be up to the challenge of winning—and do so in a way that makes Miami feel significant again.

****! It's about ******* time! These articles are long overdue.

...You do not want to watch this game. It's a matchup of tedious properties

...it's hard for the stakes to be more minimal

...As for Miami, a victory might add an inch of slack to the noose snaking around Al Golden's neck, but it's a matter of when, not if, the floor drops out from beneath the 46-year-old's slacks

...What remains to be seen is whether the next Hurricanes coach will be up to the challenge of winning—and do so in a way that makes Miami feel significant again.

Frankly if I think changes need to be made here, I don't go the cornfields to get some kind of affirmation of my opinion.

Their thoughts are quite similar to how a majority of us feel on this forum.

They don't have much respect for the alumni unless they're throwing millions at them. I'd like to see where all our donations have gone, outside of the money wasted on a stupid purchase for the Med School. To Bernie Madoff? Or our little friend the RatGnome who is now in prison?

Incompetence at its most stupid, that's this gang.
 
this is all bc of the banners. **** U ugly ***** JOY taylor and your lame *** morning show. you tried to **** on the fans complaining when you know nothing about sports. the banners got the world to notice the failures at miami. soon it'll be hard for the local media to **** on the fans for complaining

National media is all over Folden like a cheap sweaty tie. He's always the first name mentioned on broadcasts when they discuss coaches on the hot seat.

It's not a matter of if that tie turns into a hangman's noose; it's when.
