Al golden had EVERYONE fooled. I'll never forget a buddy of mine who was the Director of Player Personnel for the 49ers telling me that we fired Larry Coker one year too late. When I asked why he said, "Because we could have hired Al Golden before Temple did."
Golden had the entire football industry convinced that he was the next big time up and coming coach. Its part of the whole Masters in Sports Psychology thing. Golden looks and acts the part like very few others. He does everything the right way.....except coach. He's kind of amazing in this regard when you think about it.
