This article was written for Canespace by blogger DJ Moonbat...
There's a whole lot of people claiming to know what's going on -- or not going on -- behind the scenes, and to know the motivations of the decision makers.
But we don't know.
We don't know whether the Board of Trustees is doing its due diligence to rid The Dude of this meddlesome coach.
We don't know whether they're actually laughing at all of us poor mopes while they cash their huge ACC TV contract checks.
We don't know who they are considering to take Shalala's place, and what that person has to do with the decision if any.
I do know that it seems really, really weird the blanket of silence that's going on, and the lack of even a statement concerning the future of various assistants, much less any firings.
Until a) somebody gets fired, or b) a statement comes out saying everybody is coming back, I am assuming that the situation remains in flux.
If I were to hazard a guess, I would say that relations between Al and Blake are not currently as simpatico as Blake's public statements would suggest.
Blake is probably feeling some non-zero amount of heat demanding change, and Blake being the consummate stooge, would love to be able to deliver.
Whatever we're waiting on, it'll happen soon.
It may be good, it may be bad, but there will at the very worst (from my standpoint) be an announcement saying the whole staff is coming back.
Until then, I remain cautiously optimistic.
Because I don't know what's going on, but it sure doesn't seem like the kind of situation that the "Powers That Be" actually want to keep on festering.
Golden has said in the past he doesn't read what the blogs says and so on , if he doesn't read it him self , then someone is telling him (wife, friends) and we know the players and recruits are reading some of this ,its human nature to know what people think of you , HE has to know.

By the way, there's something floating out there.
Manny Navarro supposedly deleted a tweet stating that UM had a 4 PM press conference not regarding the Adidas deal, because:
1. He didn't actually say it (troll), or...
2. He was told to take it down.
Per Canesinsight forums. I doubt the truthfulness at this point, but it's at least interesting.

Scarlett HAS to see the opportunity to come in and take Duke's role. Immediate playing time and/or starting on a team that just got Duke over 1600 yards, and most in school history for a career.
To hell with what he sees Dalvin and them doing.
Posted by: Ohio_Cane | January 05, 2015 at 01:13 PM
Losing Duke, Miami's going trouble replacing all that fumbling. Scarlett can fill that role admirably. ;-)

We've had a very good history with kids from St Thomas, with a pretty high percentage making it to the show, including Linder and Dorsett this year and last and Hank before him.
There is also a pretty strong culture there of honoring commitments once they're made. I remember their prior coach was really big on that.
This kid has a chance to be special here, he has to know that. Hoping he sticks.
Posted by: Go Canes | January 05, 2015 at 01:35 PM
But honestly, I think RB is the least of our concerns. We haven't been hittin' on DBs & DTs the last couple of years. That's what's gonna bite us in the @$$ in 2016...REGARDLESS of who the coach is.

^^^^^^^^^^^^^^ What does "whether they coaching staff is there or not" mean? Does He feel like the coaching staff won't be there His sophomore year? And maybe I'm reading too much into it, but if you're committed to a school, why would you refer to them as "they"...
Posted by: CaneRock | January 05, 2015 at 01:27 PM
These 2 competing statements don't give me confindence that we'll hold on to Scarlett:
"I love Jimbo Fisher and he's been recruiting me for a while," said Scarlett, who ran for 1,224 yards on 143 carries this season and scored 24 touchdowns. "I like those guys in Tallahassee and I know a lot of them, and I'm going to go see how I fit in that scheme, as well."
"It will take a lot swing me because I feel like at Miami I'm set. Duke Johnson just declared for the draft and I feel like I would be going there with a great opportunity," Scarlett said. "Brad Kaaya is a great quarterback and he can really turn things around whether they coaching staff is there or not."
Posted by: CaneRock | January 05, 2015 at 01:23 PM
Raize, the next coaching staff needs talent. Otherwise, we're even further away from being legitimate threat on a national stage.
If the cupboard is bare when the next coach is hired next year, we're looking at 2-3 years minimum in a rebuild.
Posted by: Ohio_Cane | January 05, 2015 at 01:22 PM
Im not sure why some of you are so "concerned" about which recruits we get and which recruits we don't.
Does it really matter? The anser is No and here is why. Even if we land the Number 1 recruiting class, do you think this coaching staff and can do anything with these recruits?
If you read past blogs, the answer is a big resounding "NOOOOOO". Life is to short people. Don't get caught up on what an 17 - 18 year decides to do when picking a school
Posted by: raizecane | January 05, 2015 at 01:17 PM

My brother told me back when Erickson was coach , players would call on a hard line phone , tell him or a coach they were bringing their hi-lites on a vhs tape, these were players who wasn't even recruited by us. hummm , the good old days.
Posted by: Demons | January 05, 2015 at 01:03 PM
Good chance you will be pizzed lol...but hope not. One min Im reading he is solid, the next he is shaky. Hard to hold on to recruits when you go 6-7 and finish the year how we did. Mix in the fact you have freshman RB's like Cook, Collins (last year), Michel etc going elsewhere and playing big mins and theres plenty of reason so leave. Hopefully he stays, our next coach can use the talent.

I am not a big stat guy , but watching the games it looks like we bowed up on first down and maybe second down then got beat like 90 percent of the time on 3rd downs , didn't look like we gave up a lot thru the air , but when we did it looked like 80-90 pass plays , same on runs to, we would stop someone for like 2-3 yards , then they bust a big play, maybe why I read where one of you guys said we were the #15 ranked D, and the worst in 3rd down stops.

How binding is a signed letter, is it that the AD is not wanting to lose these recruits if golden is fired before they sign, and the holdup to fire him is after , now that I reread that , that would make the AD a very smart man , and as some of our illustrious gentlemen here has stated before he is not.
Posted by: Demons | January 05, 2015 at 12:01 PM
It's binding I believe... And the recruits are leaving w AG here now, the best thing to do for recruiting is to fire Al now and bring in somebody who doesn't run a goal line prevent.
Not gonna happen. He made it to a bowl game after all.
Posted by: 1mg of Epi | January 05, 2015 at 12:25 PM
How long can you be a friend and buds with the players if they are not performing , saban goes into a recruits house sit and eat all sorts of weird foods , talk like a daddy to them then chew their butts out in a game , you know if your coach is berating a coach on the sidelines he don't give a damn about doing the same to a player , that lovey dovey emotions on the sidelines suck ,I want to see a coach man up and shout at someone, anyone .

@AbramsonPBP: Upper corner end zone seats are being completely removed. That's where columns for canopy will be placed. Rest of stadium gets new seats.
@AbramsonPBP: Overall Sun Life Stadium seating capacity is being reduced by 10k to about 65,000. But lower bowl is adding more seats closer to field.

Posted by: Demons | January 05, 2015 at 12:01 PM
Demon, not going to happen. He isn't getting fired after NSD unless something so far out of character for him occurs that it isn't worth speculating over. Despite what all of us think of his coaching ability, he is a decent guy and isn't doing anything stupid enough to merit firing for cause.
I'm not arguing he shouldn't be fired for performance, nor arguing it shouldn't happen now, but I'm convinced that the Ath. Dept. is either entirely tone deaf on this issue or they negotiated the extension for Golden so poorly that they literally can't afford to fire him. Either way, we have him, he has a job to do, and to paraphrase Colin Cowherd, hope he recruits well down the stretch because it doesn't do us any good to fail at recruiting and in the season.
Posted by: j.w. | January 05, 2015 at 12:10 PM
It seems to me players are more intent to checking out schools where they can go right in and start and could care less about the school , and more or less thinking about what school can get them into the NFL , that's more of the 5 star players motivations , the 2-3-4 star players are more adept to go to a school because of parents, family or prior teammates .
Posted by: Demons | January 05, 2015 at 12:09 PM
Can't wait until we get down to that 55,000 number with seats closer to the field. Our normal 30k turnout will feel a lot tighter and hopefully louder.

But the other part -- about Miami trying hard to flip him -- is still a lie. With Knowles, UM's attempts to flip him apparently amounted to extending him an offer. So, okay, maybe they emailed Jones as well.

Go Canes... did you not see my follow up post? Im ok with this kid, but he is no Tim Irvin. I would pick a 3-star South Florida kid over most 4-stars from elsewhere, so Im OK with it, but he is not as good as MANY local DB's we missed out on. It IS about Golden..he cannot pick up elite local talent, even guys that should of be shoe-ins for Miami.
Posted by: UMike | January 05, 2015 at 10:15 AM
No I just don't need to knock a commit by comparing him to one we lost.
I'd much rather have gotten both but that didn't happen. But I'm still glad to get the one we did, especially if it's a South Florida kid. You on the other hand, obviously don't.
Your attempt to make this about Golden makes no sense.

DAMN this Adidas deal! I get it, more money for the school, more gear for the kids, blah, blah!

UMike reminds me of a girl who disses her date for taking her to a 3 star restaurant.

Knowles also plays for Edison, who gets little exposure and isn't a powerhouse like STA, etc.

They also say Knowles didn't hit the chitlin' circuit...ala Gray last year. But I doubt this kid was even a plan B, but He's a balla no doubt.
