Ok man, no side neck talking, let's just see if the facts agree with you:
* 1st coach to win a bowl game at UM in around 10years
* 1st coach at UM with a 10 win season in over 12years
* 1st coach @UM to win a legitimate on the field coastal division title since joining the ACC 12years prior
* 1st coach @Umto lead the team to an ACC championship game
* 1st coach @UM to bring in the I.P.F. to reality
* 15 game winning streak
* #2 ranking and barely missed the CFP
* Coach of the Year
* 2 Freshmen All everything (Ahmon richards & Brevin)
* Ended Fsu's 7 game winning streak and started our own winning streak now @3
* Defense at UM brought back to the 4-3 and being up near the tops in the nation in several categories
* Told flake james to: ***** OFF
Ok, your post confuses us, can you please clarify!
We never deserved our #2 ranking in the first place, and we didn’t end #2.
We were ranked something like #6 going into the 2013 FSU game. Are you going to put a #6 ranking on a list of Al Golden’s achievements? And we were on something like a 10 game winnning streak going into that game, since we had closed 2012 with a few wins.
My recollection is that we would have gone to the ACC title game in 2012 if we hadn’t self imposed a postseason ban, even if UNC hadn’t also imposed a postseason ban. (IIRC we somehow would have come out on top of the tiebreakers over UNC and GT.)
In any case, winning the Coastal, and winning a bowl game, is a very low bar for an “achievement.” Heck, Golden couldn’t go to a bowl game his first 2 years because of the sanctions. As terrible as he was, Golden would have won the Coastal if it weren’t for the self-imposed sanctions, and might have won a bowl game.
Richt’s 2 wins over FSU were against much less strong opponents than the teams Golden had lost to. TBH, the one point win at home over a terrible FSU team in 2018, after we had fallen behind 17-0, was one of the worst Miami wins I can ever recall seeing.
