5. I don't know how he's going to do it, but Golden has to make amends with these ****-sucking racist piece of **** local coaches, even if it makes him squirm. He's gonna have to take a Xanax, down a scotch, and mend fences with any local coaches who feel aggrieved. The cornerstone of this prorgram is our local recruiting base -- if we don't get these kids because their coaches are pushing them elswhere, there is no difference between us and any other mid-level ACC school.
I disagree wholeheartedly with you here. Mending fences will be done together. Golden has to develop his players and do what is necessary to win on the field. The fences need to go up and Al needs to make the local coaches realize that he has leverage, too. You're overreacting re: being a mid-level ACC school when guys down here will still want to come here...when we start winning. Sure, it may only be 1 guy, but Artie Burns is a top 10 defensive recruit of the past 5 seasons. There will be more of those guys. They sprout out from the ground down here. What we've witnessed this year is the presumed worst of the storm: ****** records, unknown sanctions, etc. This too shall pass.
I disagree with your disagreeing. Mending fences takes two willing parties. It's not that some of these local coaches are just nuetral right now taking a wait and see approach with Golden, some of these coaches are actively trying to undermine Golden and UM. If you don't believe that I'll point you to that gigantic piece of ****, Uncle Luke. I'm not sure what it will take to turn it around. Winning 10 games will help a lot, but there is a serious racism problem with some of these guys.
