Of Goldens 39 Games As Miami's HC, How Many

[ScubaCane]

My Favorite game from the Al Golden Era.

Watching those highlights again I gotta say a few things:

- Randy Shannon left Golden alot of depth and talent at the O-Line position. Our line was HUGE

- Mike James - What a underrated short yardage back

- In that game we had depth at LB. Not all of it might have been quality depth, but depth nonetheless

- **** Jed Fisch!

I miss Duke returning kicks

So 39 games and we can't even come up with more than 3 unanimous games.

And people are angrier about the banner than they are about the job golden has done? Smh

Duke 2011, but Duke sucked that year. We beat them 49-14, but they were 3-9, 1-7.

Now how many of those games were played with the leftovers of Randy Shannons garbage classes, and then how many of those were played with Miami unable to competently recruit with an NCAA scandal surrounding the program?

Whatta joke. A ******* joke. Mindless, imbecilic joke. These are the types of fans that only go to the big games and even then couldn't tell you what happened during the game. Just that we either won or lost. And then would say the score like this "we won, 14-37"

What is Al Golden's marque win? Can somebody point it out since I'm not seeing one.

4-8 Florida and 6-6 Ohio State?

Duke 2011 (crappy team)
USF 2012 (crappy team)

I actually think the time I was most impressed with Golden was second half of Virginia Tech in 2011. Which is kind of sad

Was the *** whooping we took against Louisville cloud-free enough for you, or is there some other reason that game doesn't count either?

I can't fathom what you were expecting heading into an insanely rough road environment, starting a true freshman QB in his first game, playing on national TV, against a team coming off a 12-1 season.

Maybe at least a closer game against a team with an entirely new coaching staff, a bunch of new players(including a QB making his first career start as well), AND missing their 2 best players on offense.

But I guess I'm crazy for expecting a team to look at least slightly improved from year 1 to year 4.

It was a 1 score game heading into the fourth quarter, seemed like a pretty close game to me. Kaaya doesn't throw that lateral and turn the ball over in the red zone following a Louisville turnover and who knows what happens.

But yeah, doom and gloom bro. Doom and gloom.

Nice. Actually that Ohio State team went 6-7 because they lost their bowl game.

They came out fired out and played decent against Florida. Don't care about 4-8 because at the time we flat out came to play.

Offense played for the 1st qtr then left the game. Of our 212 total yards for the game. 136 of those yards were from the 1st qtr. We had a grand total of - 8 yards in the 2nd qtr of that game. Up until 49 seconds left in the 3rd qtr we had - 4 yards. So for 29 mins of that game we had a total of -12 yards of offense.

UF gift wrapped that game to us. Very rare does a team win a game converting one 3rd down and doing nothing for almost 2 entire qtrs.

Don't disagree with a word you said. I was referring to playing with emotion and passion as they certainly had it in that game.

UF and we still gave up 400 yards of offense to a 4-8 team
