"Said this b4 to the slurp derps that Golden was extremely overrated as a recruiter. Each year after his 1st real class in 2012, it got worst. The attrition rate under Golden was unbelievable, worst under any coach in the P5.
Couple that w/ the shear lack of player development, in particular, on the defensive side of the ball, and you have the worst coach in Canes football history, imo."
I'm not sure why this is so hard to understand. His classes got worse not because he couldn't recruit, but because he couldn't win games. Jesus would have a tough time pulling a top 10 class with a 6-7 record, I'm pretty sure al was doing a decent job on the recruiting trail. It's just all the other parts of coaching that he sucked at. And regarding the attrition rate, nobody outside the program really knows about that do they? I know it's in fashion to assume that if al kicked a kid out or didn't land a kid he must be the best player ever, but come on. When Butch gets here and a kid leaves will anyone be saying "OMGHEWASTHEBESTYOUSUCKHOWCOULDYOULETHIMGOOOOOSSSS!!!!!1!" I'm guessing no. All of a sudden that kid's a bum who we didn't need anyway.
Point is, only MOST of the stuff al did sucked, not all.
