Somebody showed me this about what a temple student wrote about golden when miami hired him. He called it "doses of reality" and it was on owlscoop.com.

1.He is a good recruiter, but a mediocre gameday coach.

2.His clock management skills are poor, as is his ability to make adjustments. He has been repeatedly outcoached in the 2nd half of games by coaches who have lesser talent but more savy. Frank Solich, Ohio U HC really has his number.

3.His offense is often 1 dimensional, and he seems to stick with a gameplan well after it has been proven not to be working.He has plan A but no B.

4.He is secretive regarding players, schemes, Offense & Defense philosphy.

5.He has not been able to develop a QB and establis a cohesive offensive scheme. He functioned as the special teams coach with very poor results.

6.His teams have only beaten 3 D-1 teams with winning records in the past 5 years. He has not won the MAC east crown let alone mac conf title.

He said some more **** but these sound and look familiar.

Haven't really had any issues with Al's clock management so far. Breath of fresh air compared to Blandy. Now if we could only not be ranked 116th in Time of Possession......
 
Havn't had a problem with most of the things on that guys list.

He's been pretty open with what we're trying to do in terms of offensive and defensive schemes, and we're certainly not "one dimensional" on O.
As for QB development, I'm pretty sure that's why he hired guys like Fisch and Coley.
 
He developed jacory well in one year. 2nd half skills didn't look bad in our ga tech wake and nc comebacks
 
Temple was also the worst program in D1 football and had just got kicked out of the big east when he got them.

A lot of those fall on the OC and DC. Yes, he is responsible for them, but it's on them. A lot of this data was from his Temple days so let's give it some time before we see if he can coach at this level. To me, we have improved on special teams, turnovers (until last few games), penalties, and clock management so I won't waste my time on that.

Most of that doesn't sound or look familiar at all, IMO.

turnovers have been a problem since the USF game (the outlier is Wake) but that isn't on golden. not his fault players fumble or throw ints.
 
I'm shocked he wasn't able to develop a QB at a school that most everyone in the country wouldn't want to be caught dead at
 
I found it funny as **** because a lot of people have been saying the same **** up here.

He was a young coach then i think he has improved. I do think he needs a better staff around him at certain spots.

Oh some of it does. Some of you have been saying he is a used car salesman, he wasn't that good of a coach, he hasn't beat good teams or any teams with a winning record this year.

So now you think he is dumb but some of you have been crying some of the same ****.
