ACC Media Days: Al Golden’s First Real Interview « Man Cave Daily
"I’m not even remotely willing to blame those players which gave everything for this program for the team’s overall stink. Which player(s) are we talking about? We saw Anthony Chickillo sacrifice his entire career to buy in to the system. I was there in Charlottesville when Clive Walford sprinted 80 yards to chase down a defensive back on a blocked field goal and save a touchdown. Who are these bad seeds that didn’t care?
We’ve been down this road many times. Remember when the Northwestern 2008 class came in? They were the ones that were going to bring a winning attitude, and replace the “bad seeds” that Larry Coker had brought in. Four years later, they were the bad seeds that needed replacing. Those players that replaced the Northwestern 2008 class? Some of the very same bad seeds that are now being replaced. It’s enough already.
From a player and program standpoint, it IS important that they find a scapegoat mentally. It’s fine for us, as fans, to point out the obvious. That this is Al Golden’s program, he actually planted those seeds that left the program after last year, and if they’re bad, it’s his responsibility."
