Tell me again how Randy left the program better than Golden did.

Meaningless. Look at the entire roster Shannon left. Shannon left golden plenty of talent. Just because he only had 4 verbal commits doesn't mean he left golden a shifty football program.

Guy left literally one serviceable underclassman on the roster and 2 recruits but sure the program was doing great when Randy left.

I’m not going to go back 15 years and dig up evidence of incompetence against teams with running Quarterbacks/uptempo offenses but three games come to mind
2004 Louisville 38- Miami 41
2003 VT 31- Miami 7
2005 LSU 40- Miami 3

Because you can't.

We had top 10 defense in 2003 and 2005.

Any dope with an agenda can find one example of something.
 
I mean props to those guys for not being totally mismanaged by D'onofrio, but Golden had what 8 or 9 defensive players drafted already. And left Richt with monsters all over the field.

So it's a fact that Golden's best defense was the one Shannon left him.

No question that Shannon screwed Golden for 2012-14 but he didn't leave him nothing.

It's like those who claim that Butch inherited a mess of a roster from Erickson. It's just not true.

Miami's best defense in the Golden years was 2014 by the way, shockingly when the sanctions were over and Randy's kids were all gone.

Randy left Golden no recruits and 1, literally ******* 1 underclassman that wasn't more or less worthless.

One serviceable underclassmen? Lamar miller, Shawntrel Henderson, Olivia Vernon, denzal Perryman, phillip Dorsett, chick, mike James yea you're right. Miami had more talent than all the teams they faced in 2011 save for fsu maybe

Spread/Uptempo offenses and running QB’s were rare in 2005. Shannon’s performance this year alone proves his basic defense doesn’t work against those offenses.

Henderson was a complete bust, Vernon (who left after 2011) and James were juniors, Golden and Barrow recruited Perryman, Randy didn't want him.

Congrats he left Lamar Miller, Phillip Dorsett and had to beg Chick not to bolt for UF.

Program was in great shape.
 
Randy is still a 'Cane.

I think we all just wish he was at a different school, lol.

Best of luck to him personally. To the team he coaches, not so much. ;)
 
let me settle this guys.......Shannon is a pretty good DC when he has way more talent than the other team, therefore the 4-3 cover 2 man under worked well, he could just line his guys up and let them play football. When talent is close on both sides he does not do well, he dont scheme, rarely blitzes, dont disguise anything, and just stays very basic. Go back and look at the athletes he had to work with here, lotta true ballers. I really thought his stint with Gary Patterson would do him some good but it has not, i believe most head coaches realize the same thing as i wrote above, therefore he has not been offered any big time D1 job as DC, and he has one helluva resume, but they are smart enough to look past that resume

It's just false that randy left a bad roster for gluten. The roster Gluten inherited include the following kids, many of whom played in the NFL:

QB: J. Harris, S. Morris

RB: L. Miller, M. James, Clements, Chambers

WR: A. Hurns, T. Benjamin, Streeter, K. Thompkins,

TE: Walford, C. Ford, Cleveland

OL: S. Henderson, B. Linder, B. Washington, Figeuroa, Gunn, M. Bunch, McDermott, Wheeler, Feliciano, T. Horn

DL: Vernon, Forston, S. Green, Ojomo, C. Porter, M. Regis, L. Robinson, M. Robinson, Dye

LB: Spence, Buchanon, Futch, Gaines

DB: RRA, McGee, Nicolas, V. Telemaque, D. Johnson

P/K: Wieclaw

There were plenty of problems in the program. There were plenty of depth issues and holes on the roster. But it's wrong to say Golden didn't inherit talent. He absolutely did. The OL talent he stepped into is almost astounding.

It is true that Randy left a crap class on his way out the door.

Henderson was a day 1 starter in the NFL. Just because Shannon and Golden sucked doesn’t mean that Seantrel was actually a bust.

And actually it was Golden who had to be talked into keeping Perryman.

Our starters in 2011 included Allen Hurns, Sean Spence, Vernon, Henderson, Travis Benjamin,
Lamar Miller, and more. Losing 6 games in 2011 was not acceptable. The program wasn’t in “good” shape, but it was in good enough shape to win 9 games and a bowl game.

Juniors are underclassmen... ding dong hello? Anyone home? Jon felciaoion , Brandon Linder, Brandon Washington, ray ray Armstrong, Allen hurns, chase ford, Clive walford, Vernon, Henderson, miller, Dorsett, James, chick, Tommy Streeter, Shane McDermott, Stephan Morris, Brandon McGee, Tyler horn etc. etc.

Plenty of talent to beat 1-9 marylandand a handicapped Boston college team that lost more starts to injury/suspension than Miami did that year. If you wanna testify on Sandusky's behalf that's fine but you don't need to make up **** on the internet.

Are you the famous poster formerly known as Miami Nights? Only Miami Nights used words like "chit".

Both sucked, both deserve a special place in ****, but Randy folded up his tent halfway through the season on recruiting. We had 2 commits when he left.

That’s unforgivable.

The best players he left were either seniors or juniors. After that, zip. The cupboard was bare.

Gluten sucked balls but he at least gave recruiting effort, Randy punked out at the end. Shannon gave up like a bltch at the end and stopped recruiting. Pathetic. F ‘em both.

Shannon left enough talent on the roster for Miami to win and for golden to add to like any real coach would. Dorsett, horns, chick etc even Henderson were frosh and sops. To act like Miami was completely devoid of talent is just silly really.

The funny part about guys claiming Shannon quit recruiting or whatever were the same guys who annoited golden as a "real coach". Seems like a "real coach" can come in and get players the same way Saban, tressesel, the old ou coach etc. did when they came in later than golden did.
