Why, because you watched one garbage team beat up on another craphole?
Think bigger
Both of those teams would throttle unc, who just throttled Miami. Junior!
Who has Houston played?
Ive never really understood that argument. Is Houston's talent really that much superior compared to the teams they are beating? That was also the argument used to attempt to discredit Gus Malzahn when he was tilting the scoreboard as the OC at Tulsa. People said "look at the defenses he's doing it against!' Malzahn also coached at Arkansas St. I wonder who they player. So you are basically stating that its inpossible for a non power 5 coach to be good. However, such an arbitrary position cannot withstand the rigors of logic. Also just because Golden was a ****, that by no means makes it a foregone conclusion that all other non power 5 coaches will be garbage. Urban Myer started out in the MAC. Jim Harbaugh was coaching at San Diego before Stanford hired him. University of San Diego not San Diego St. I wonder who San Diego played? Chip Kelly coached at New Hampshire early in his career. Bobby Bowden coached at Samford. There have been many great coaches who started at smaller non power 5 programs and there will be many more.
Personally I believe that good/great coaches are going to stand out no matter where they are coaching. The key is being able to identify them. As far as Golden is concerned, there were plenty of red flags all over the place that most of us just disregarded because after Coker and Shannon we were desperate for success. I happen to think that Herman will be an elite coach at the highest level. When you take Herman and Golden and juxtapose their respective career arcs, there is a significant difference. That being said, there is never a sure thing but you can't just summarily dismiss coaches like Herman and Fuente just because they are not currently coaching at elite FBS programs.
The problem is using just one year of experience as a head coach to justify hiring someone to lead what is a pressure cooker in Miami.
By the way, Malzahn is being exposed right now. He had a great first year at Auburn, but went 8-5 las year and has had a terrible year this season.
Auburn hired him with only one year as a HC under his belt.
I just don't think one year is enough body of work to hire someone to lead my Canes.
I think Butch is a great hire, but I wouldn't be mad if we got Gundy, Patterson, or someone else at that level.
I really think we should be hiring someone from another Power 5 conference.
