Al Golden has done his part to reach out to local high school coaches and make them feel welcome at The U from the day he arrived in Coral Gables. He has almost made it a personal crusade to make sure South Florida coaches know their craft better than anybody in the land and feel that there is an open door for them at the Hecht Athletic Center.
This weekend's South Florida Football Festival At The U is Golden's latest Made for Coaches event.
The two-day action-packed affair will include Friday talks on offense and defense by Miami's coordinators - James Coley and Mark D'Onofrio - followed by chalk talks by position by the Miami staff.
Golden himself will speak on the important of Special Teams and the return game and then a pair of Florida Atlantic University coaches, receivers coach Dan Shula and defensive backs coach Corey Bell, will speak on offense and defense.
After a dinner on campus, the coaches will move under the lights at the Cobb track and see on-field demonstrations with the UM staff and current members of the Miami football team. All high school and youth players are also being invited to the "Fundamental Friday" evening event.
Former Miami Running Backs Coach Don Soldinger will give a Keynote Speech to the coaches on "Attitude of a Champion" before the coaches finish the night with a social at the Rathskeller on campus.
After a few hours of sleep, the coaches will be back on campus bright and early Saturday morning for offensive and defensive presentations by coaches at Florida International University.
Miami Dolphins special teams coach Darren Rizzi will make a presentation and then after lunch the coaches will be invited to watch on as the Hurricanes Football Team scrimmages for the first time this spring.
It's all designed to help area coaches.
"It's always great to have a coaching clinic for high school coaches so we can see what they're doing at the next level," said Miami Central High School coach Roland Smith, who will participate in the clinic. "There are drills they have that we can use to help kids out. Myself and other coaches, we try to run our programs like college programs. We want them to be academically and athletically sound, and this helps with that."
