Golden was and always will be a pathological liar and the most inept head coach in the history of our program by far.
He 100% knew there was going to be an investigation.
In August 2010, Shapiro told The Miami Herald that he was writing a book titled, The Real U: 2001 to 2010. Inside the Eye of the Hurricane in which he promised to tell how Miami had violated NCAA rules affecting more than 100 players. "Once the players turned pro, they turned their back on me. It made me feel like a used friend," he said.
Al Golden accepted the Miami job on December 13, 2010.
His agent, Brett Senior, is one of the best in the biz. I guarantee you he vetted the job before Golden took it.
The NCAA scandal was the best thing to happen to Golden. It gave him the "cloud" excuse and helped mask his total ineptitude.
F**k him!
