Sports Illustrated: Miami needs to fire Al Golden

Advertisement
Miami is a small private school that doesn’t have the money of a football factory like Clemson or Alabama.

If a small private school in Waco, Texas, with hardly any winning tradition can become one of the nation’s best programs, a small private school in Coral Gables, Fla.—sitting in the richest football recruiting territory on the planet with five national titles since 1983—can compete for championships.

And not necessarily national championships. Let’s start with the ACC Coastal, which Miami could win next year if its administration wakes up and realizes the program needs different leadership.

Golden deserves credit for shepherding Miami through a rough stretch following the NCAA investigation produced by booster/pyramid schemer Nevin Shapiro’s confessions. Golden is, by all accounts, a decent human. But the same is true of Will Muschamp and Brady Hoke. No matter what athletic directors say, that isn’t why they pay football coaches millions of dollars. They pay them to win. Miami’s NCAA penalties weren’t that severe, and once the case closed, the Hurricanes should have begun progress toward the top of the ACC. Instead, they learned Saturday just how much distance separates Miami and the best team in the conference.

Holy ****

So spot on

There needs to be only beer and popcorn attendants only at the next game. If you are going to the games, you are part of the problem.
 
This is my one sliver of hope:
