Rumors, Lies And Speculation

All of the Internets that Al Gore invented were ablaze on Friday night with rumors, lies and speculation about whether or not Miami head coach Al Golden will or had become the next head coach at his alma mater Penn State.

The high traffic crashed web sites, Twitter was over-run with tweets and blogs were full of comments about who was going where, when and why they were going there and many Hurricane fans just asked questions about what specifically was going to happen in Coral Gables and Happy Valley.

The crazed need for attention or to be the first to know, no make that guess or predict if Golden was leaving Miami and head to Penn State, drove many Hurricane fans over the edge. Some were hurt, some angry, some confused and some were even relieved or happy about all the rumors, lies and speculation surrounding the situation.

From the way I read the comments on Canespace yesterday and well into late last night, and from my sense of fans' sentiments over the last six to eight weeks, the Hurricane Family is somewhat divided over Golden's staying or leaving. With my finger on the pulse of the fans to me it breaks down like this:

• 50% do not want to see Golden leave under any circumstances.
• 25% are ambivalent about the fact that he could be gone by Monday.
• 25% want him gone and want him gone yesterday.

Personally, I fall into the 50% category of fans above that do not want to see Golden go to Penn State. I want to see him get a chance to finish what he has started at Miami, close out another strong recruiting class in 2014 and show us that he can and will win big by his fifth year as head coach at UM in 2015. I think Al Golden is a good man and a good coach who with time can prove to Miami fans that he is the right man for the job. At the same time I do believe that he does deserve some criticism and needs to fix a few things regarding the team's performance on the field to accomplish that goal.

The 25% of fans who are ambivalent about Golden's decision, in other words they don't really have strong feelings either way if he stays or goes, basically feel that although some progress has been made since Golden took over at Miami are not really yet convinced that he can get the job done and win a BCS title at UM in five years. These fans believe that Golden deserves more time to prove to them that he is the man to get it done with his process, players and scheme. However, they would not be crushed or heartbroken if he did leave and UM was able to bring in another high calibre coach to replace him and maybe even accelerate "The Process" further and quicker.

The 25% of fans who actually want Golden gone are simply done with the team's poor performance, especially on defense and especially in key games against good teams. Clearly, these fans had already gone over to "The Dark Side" well before the PSU rumors started swirling yesterday. They had already decided that "The Process" was flawed and that the core values were off target. These Hurricane fans stated that they wanted major change either among the assistants on the coaching staff or at the top due to the lack of significant progress over the three years that Golden has been head coach at The U.

From my point of view whatever happens, happens. I am not going to try to get caught up in the rumor, lies and speculation or try to predict what will happen. I am certainly NOT going to get my knickers all in a wad over Golden's decision to stay in Coral Gables or leave for Happy Valley.

The University of Miami won five National Championships (easily could have been 8) in football under four different head coaches over three decades.  The U is much, much bigger than any head football coach, much less one who has never won a conference title or a National Championship like Al Golden.

I hope Golden does stay and does both. And if not, who got next?

Yea but while it was going on saban was saying he wasn't taking to anybody.....and not going any where. Golden hasn't said a word knowing that recruits are starting to doubt.

GEEZ Furman is an idiot...golden just tweeted that he is commited to the u 1 minute ago

[Sass]

He's Staying!!!!! Best scenerio!!!

[RARA]

Sota...who cares whether Saban had better coaches to take his job or what the fan base thinks. What's that got to do with the price of tea in China? If Saban wanted to be at UT right now he would have and he took the time he wanted to to get what he wanted. The fact that there may be better coaches bodes well for us if Golden bolts. My guess is we will know Monday and if Golden stays he will have a month to mend bridges and secure this good recruiting class. If he bolts and we hire a Butch or Chud we secure this recruiting class.

[mi@mic@ne]

Al is gonna be on Joe Rose at 630 tomorrow morning. Ferman says that they dont fly Al to the college unless its certain there is a mutual agreement before.

[mi@mic@ne]

Ferman was on qam and said Al will announce that he is the new PU coach. Al and PU had been expressing interest before the bowl game.

[Sarasota 'cane]

The difference between Al and Saban is Saban didn't have better coaches waiting to take his job at Alabama, nor did Alabama's fan base want Saban to take the TX job.

[Cola Cane]

I guess the thing that hurts me most is losing this upcoming class. Depending on who we get to replace AG, it could be devastating. Oh well, tired of worrying about it, back to watching the playoffs. Gods speed to you ALL in Cane Nation.

[RARA]

Sorry for your loss VA Cane.

[RARA]

Many of you talking about Al waiting so long (two days as of today) are blowing this way outta proportion. If Golden comes back (I agree with Soup and still thinks he will) he will have more than enough time to mend the appropriate fences and talk waivering recruits off the ledge and keep (possibly enhance this class). In all honesty Penn St is the one school that we all were aware Al could bolt to. If he stays the likelihood us he will be at the U for a long time if successful. If he bolts then I thank him for getting the program back in track and move on. The fact is if he leaves this is the perfect timing for him to bolt. The program is still in ascending mode and is ripe for a coach like Butch to take the reins and build on what Golden has done.

I have no problem with Golden looking at this point. It's only been 2 days. Hell, Saban to TX went on for a week and did not end until the boosters ponied up more $$$. As long as the administration pays the $$$ for a Butch or Chud if Golden bolts we will be fine. He he bolts and the don't pony up the $$$ then blame administration, not Golden because this is ultimately a business and given the NCAA stuff and hearing Penn St's coaches name as a hot commodity in NFL circles (been hearing this for the past month), they should've been prepared for Penn St contacting Golden.

SurferCane: Samurai Lesson #2:

"Look, eye; always look eye."

If Golden stays he will have to look all of us and his players and recruits right in the eye and tell us his motives and actions. The he will regain our support, or not.

If he goes he probably will not be able to look ANY of us in the eye.

Either way: "Look eye; always look eye."

That is where the TRUTH and RESPECT can always be found.

[SOUP]

TIME OUT.

For all of you saying that Al Golden intentionally damaged UM or is wrong for interviewing at PSU, that is just crazy talk.

Every coach looks to do a few things every year that we should all do:

1. Get a raise.
2. Get a promotion.
3. Get a new job.
4. Work for his alma mater.

Golden had a chance to do all of those so it was only NATURAL that he interview for the job and accpet it IF it is offered. U cannot hate the man for doing that.

If he stays then he will have some fences to mend, which he can and will do. If it one thing he is good at it is building and/or rebuilding relationships with coaches, players, recruits and fans. He has proven that and that would not be hurt by the looking around at the PSU job. He may even look more "attractive" to recruits because another MAJOR university wanted him (SPIN).

If he goes and we get a better coach then U will forget Al Golden like your some old pair of shoes you wore 15 years ago.

The only bad scenario is IF he leaves and UM hires some other no-name, under-paid, middle of the pack coach with no UM ties or history of winning BIG and we lose a bunch of recruits. Then U can hate on Golden and the UM admininistration.

But until then remember this:

1. Be patient, stay positive.
2. The news will come when it comes, then decide.
3. We have two win-win scenarios in our favor.
4. It could turn out better than U imagine!

[4-Real]

Regardless of the outcome the damage has definitely been done. Uncle Luke & others are gonna have a field day afterwards.

CGNC,
Excuse me for using this term but Al is a horses A$$ right now for not addressing the issue if he is in or not. The more this gets drawn out the more I am becoming upset. Sorry Soup...hope I dont get called down to the principals office for that one.

[RBLCane]

How does Al interviewing for another coaching position NOT hurt this program? I would question his loyalty to this U. How can ANYONE believe in what he tells the brass and recruits or anyone else for that matter. I feel that the TRUST factor has been broken. Like a marriage, how can you be married to your partner and she knows you are still looking? Once you break that trust factor there is no turning back. Al made his bed now he can lay in it. If I was Shalala, I would cut my loses and let him and his cronies go. Hire Butch and be done with it.
Posted by: Yoopercane | January 05, 2014 at 02:30 PM

I agree it hurts the program but I'm pretty sure Al has a clause in his contract that let's him interview for his dream job at Penn State... Kind of like a prenup that let's you sleep with your dreamgirl to continue with your analogy...

Hence we can't fire him or else we'd be on the hook for some mula...

They beat Austin Peay, UMASS, Florida (not the UF we played), Wake Forest, Tennessee, Kentucky, UAB and Houston in the bowl game.

They also beat a good, not great Georgia team.It was Vandy's first win over a Top 25 team since 2008. Not exactly a sterling record...even for Vandy.

WORST CASE SCENARIO.

[orange 'n green in the vein]

Monty, there are no moral victories.

Game plan by the staff gave them a chance to win but they only out played the hosts for about 17 of 40 minutes, all in the second half which wasn't going to be enough to overcome the 'welcome to your new league, let's show you what it's like to be treated like Duke and UNC here' officiating that piled calls up against them down the stretch.

Tonye earned himself more burn at UNC in a few days with his play Saturday I thought, he needs to shoot only one handed free throws every practice because his elbow is jutting out on his shooting form and he isn't flicking his wrist for enough backspin to compensate to shoot a high percentage from the line and will start absorbing fouls on the offensive end of the court with his activity level and length, so he needs to make the opposition pay for forcing him to earn his points one at a time.

I still say, and I like the guy because he's remade his body in the off season and is The Pimp's first charge, Rion Brown is better as a poor man's impersonation of Jet Terry off the bench for UM, yes I know he's one of the best average in all column players on the team, but UM needs someone to pace the backup wave and Rion struggles when he's accounted for in the opposition's game plan specifically because he's best as just a spot shooter or a one dribble mid range pull up off the shot fake guy. He can't get to the rim and finish consistently enough to be short shot clock beater for the team.

[Yoopercane]

So it has been said, Miami has a taste for wine on a beer budget. Instead of hiring a good quality coach they were just fine with spending less and getting less. Like the ol saying goes you get what you paid for. Now the U is stuck in a coaching dilemma all because the U dont want to spend the dough? You keep throwing parts on an ol POS to keep it going when you could wisely invest in a new car and not have to worry about it. Its like spraying perfume on a pig, its still a pig but a really good smelling pig.

[SOUP]

Cristobal is the least qualified candidate with Miami ties.

Jean's experience as 28 years as a nurse qualifies her for the Head Trainer role and Fran's own numerous medical procedures alone qualifies him to counsel and train/rehab young men at UM who have had injuries themselves. That man has prolly had more anesthesia than Michael Jackson.

Why wouldn't Donna want Butch? She wasn't even here when he left in 2000 plus he's already been credited with righting the program after Dennis ran it into the ground. He ran a cleaner program at UM than anyone else I can think of, plus he's a disciplinarian. The bad blood was between Paul Dee and Tad Foote who are gone.
On top of that Butch put up with a lot of crap from us fans before he finally turned the program around. If he can forgive us I can certainly forgive him.

I would agree that we would be dreaming to get a guy like Butch back at UM until yesterday when he personally told Susan Miller that he would be honored to be considered for a job he regrets leaving in 2000. His words.
And we're already paying Al 2.5 million which isn't chump change. Butch would likely command around 2.5 to 3 million so it won't be a financial situation.

[TJL]

I want a Miami guy
Chud & Shiano are NFL guys now-I wouldn't trust them to stay
Mario made a move to further his career to Coach under Satan-I wouldn't trust him either-He is young enough to have NFL aspirations.
Butch is older which would work to our advantage-he has seen it all-been in the NFL and maybe will want to finish his coaching career at the U. How many NFL head coaches are 60+?
Also Butch's teams play with an edge we haven't seen here in years
Keep the O staff intact-bring in Dorsey for QB,a - get rid of all the D staff except Barrow

[Canesteeler]

Canes nation sit back and observe the cluster fukk of how college coaches operate! We are fools to criticize the decisions 17-18 year old kids make when the men who are the so-called leaders of these kids are nothing but ego filled money whores. Those of you who want to play football at the U, come on. Every recruit and their parents should be selfish as hell in making their choices because the men they will go and play for are only loyal to their bank accounts. It is a business for the players just as much as the coaches.

BEST POST OF THE NEW YEAR RIGHT THERE!

[Texascane]

A few thoughts that ran through my head this morning, just my opinion.

Franklin is the designated Rooney Rule interview for this year (all kinds of interviews-doesn't get hired anywhere). See: Charlie Strong for the last four years.

PSU got north of 6 million from the Texans for the O'Brien buyout. They can afford anyone.

Louisville may be a better job opening than Miami if Al leaves.

Chud stays in the NFL as an assistant.

Donna ain't going anywhere near Butch.

Al is too good a press guy to let all this commotion happen without an offer from PSU and close to a deal.

Very true. But I would think Butch, Chud, Smart, and maybe Franklin would be more than fine with a 3 mil/year salary. Franklin is making that now but there's no way he wins big in the SEC at Vandy so I could see him possibly making that move. I agree that names like Richt are a pipe dream.
