Are you still wanting him gone?
Posted by: ML Alumni1970. | September 21, 2015 at 02:37 AM
I never wanted him gone. Like everyone I have my doubts and this last game did not exactly help erase them. If he keeps winning this season and beyond I will continue to support him. If not, well then not so much.

WWIN he's not "my coach", he's the coach of my team, the Miami Hurricanes.
Posted by: Lurker | September 21, 2015 at 09:39 AM
Here, let me fix it for you:
WWIN he's not MY coach, he is OUR coach, the coach of OUR team, the Miami Hurricanes.

WWIN...check email.

Every once in a while I'll click on the Twitter profile of a "fire Golden" guy.
Man what a sad and miserable existence.
They take zero joy in any player's success, aren't happy when we win and direct tweet the vilest things imaginable to our coach and former and current players.
I'll never, ever get it.

I'll never, ever get it.

STRONG ADVICE:
1. Don't click on it.
2. Don't perpetuate the nonsense by talking about it here. Does more harm than good.
Posted by: 86Cane | September 22, 2015 at 07:56 AM
Agreed.

One of my favorite things to do on this blog is to imagine what T-Sully is looking at in all the pics, because he is never looking at the camera.
I know it's probably a girl, or a grill.

Watching the game again, we should've scored 50/+ on those suckas.
Kaaya missed an open Yearby on that 3rd drive...and I don't know why we switched out Kaaya for Rosier, Kaaya was hot as hell with His RZ passes, screwed up His flow.

And Yearby = C
