Bottom line is this..... Coach golden feels guilty.... He doesn't want to tell recruits or players that he is staying like bill obrien did and then turn around to leave anyways.... This is exactly the reason he is avoiding contact with recruits and players.... The damage has been done, I think he lost trust with our players with these antics. A "family" doesn't do those type of things..... Another thing to be on the lookout is that miami could also be contacting other coaches but think about it golden knows they aren't going to fire him because they would be on the hook for his buyout clause. This is why miami officials chris yandle said he is still our coach...
For all those mad at Golden for not saying anything, how many of you were mad at Butch for saying he was staying then going? The other option would be to openly say he is considering the PSU job, but that doesn't achieve anything positive. At this point the damage has been done and I would like him gone, but if he is to stay, staying quiet right now is the allows him to not lie. One can argue that lying might be the best for the good of the program (at least publicly) and maybe it is, but once he decided he wanted to consider PSU, I understand his staying quiet.
