My god this is ******* gold :roll-canes3:


Muhammad sports the shinier pedigree. The production? That’s about the same. It’s Harris, however, who has the better “process.”

“Trent was one of our most reliable players on defense a year ago,” said coach Al Golden, who praised Harris for his error-free play then and continues to do so. “He plays the defense exact every play.”


“He’s done nothing but get better since he got here,” defensive coordinator Mark D’Onofrio said. “He improved his speed. Again, what he does at an elite level is he does his job. That’s what he does elite. Ultimately that’s what you want. If you have a guy who runs a 4.5 but doesn’t play the defense, all you have is a guy that runs 4.5. You don’t have a good player. Trent’s a really good player.”

Al Golden does not want wild agressive playmakers...

He wants nice kids that do what they are told.
 
The defense is designed to fail and place the blame with the players "that can't seem to learn it"

That would be funnier if the tortoise had not won that race.

This is a core problem of current times. They want diverse conformists.

Your missing the point..... Coach up the phucking hare...and get that tortoise out of my phucking face..thats why you are paid millions of dollars
 
I'm telling you, Golden is sabotaging himself.

He doesn't want to be here anymore, but he wants as many excuses as possible at the end of the season to justify his ****** record.

He's throwing mud against a wall, with the hope that something will stick and parlay it into another job at a mediocre program.
 
Sometimes, you have to allow elite talent to "freelance".

Anybody ever heard of Junior Seau, Troy Polamalu, or Lavar Arrington?

Those dudes "freelanced" on a regular basis.

Good coaches understand you have to ALLOW for freelancing ... And elite coaches actually understand how to USE the freelancing to their benefit.

Our coaches don't allow or know how to use it ...

And if you can't do either, you better be a **** genius at X's and O's ...

28-22 says our HC is no genius ...
 
Only in this crappy defense can a kid be considered "elite" yet be invisible on the field. I really like Harris and think he can be a baller in an aggressive scheme. But in this scheme? He's invisible.

So much for anyone who believed Al was going to ever make changes. Same coach every day. He wasn't never a playmaker and has no use for one.

I think there's even more to this. It's not so much that is sabotaging himself. I think that Golden knows what Golden knows....it's what he was brought up on and it's really the only thing he will be able to move forward with. Knowing his roots and likely future destinations (midwest, east coast, lower expectation programs), it really does make sense in his mind to "stay the course" and continue to be the tyoe of coach we apparently all hate.....because that's the type of coach that those new potential schools love love love!!! It would also explain his virtual zero tolerance policy with any negative incidents, etc.

I've said it before and I'll say it again....you guys need to be flying the banner to fire the BOT and the ADMINS..fire the AD. THESE are the same guys who are going to hire your next coach too..don't forget! They hired the last 2 idiots!!!
I've grown weary of kicking around Golden...he really is just what he is...and unfortunately for us all it's HIS bosses that have knowingly saddled us with him. I'd love to see you all turn that venom where it truly belongs.
 
I didn't mean any offense to Trent. He is probably a good player. After 4 years, getting praised by Al and Mark is a little like ISIS saying you are a good friend.
 
I guess I don;t really feel like I've seen this amazing body of work from AQM to date either. Don't get me wrong..he should be the horse you roll with but I don't think anyone here has a whole lot of evidence to say AQM is a beast beyond his build.
