SIAP: Miami Football off to a not so good start
Looks like Golden is going to have a difficult time trying to change the culture of Miami Football. Looks who all is suspended for their first game of the season..

It's a shame that Shannon just didn't win more. He was by all accounts a great guy and really helped with the whole discipline and culture of Miami.

I've heard mixed reviews. It sounds like he was somewhat distant from the team and day to day operations. I've read accounts by a couple of parents of players that made it sound like he had lost the respect of the team and his staff. He seems like a nice guy, but some coaches are better suited to be coordinators and don't have the leadership skills to be a head coach.

unless I'm misunderstanding, was he not the one to hand write notes to all his players upon dismissal?
sounds like a good man to me
By the way where did he end up at?

Golden = Rich Rod

I don't follow. Could you elaborate?

Rich Rod got off to a rocky start at Michigan AND Golden stole Michigan recruits and Tate Forcier. Kinda creepy

Are you being purposefully inflammatory or are you just dense?
March 19th, 2011 at 12:19 PM ^
Probably both

Man, accountability sure sucks.

I have decided that I dislike Al Golden since he seems to recruit anyone and everyone with a Michigan offer. Also Susan has a face that is perfect for radio. That is all.
Anyone and everyone that is a future senior in High School?

Randy Shannon already did a lot to change the culture at Miami, but he couldn't win enough games and he couldn't diminish the power of the Dade/Broward clique. It will be interesting to see how Golden does. The media hates it when they don't get to write about Miami as a bunch of thugs, so I'm sure they're rooting against him.
Tater, since you know about these kinds of things, tell me which clique is more powerful. The Archie Collins Michigan state clique, the Dade broward clique, or the shawn michaels hhh cliq.
Nothing is more powerful than the Carr-tel.
I hope Tate "You lift me up Coach" Forcier can have a decent career down there. I'm a bit leery of the environment he's going into but I wish the kid the best. Perhaps a new squad and school will give him the kick in the arse he needs grow up...
Sure sounds like Golden will have his hands full at the U. But we knew Blago would have his hands full!
(Sorry for the partial thread jack...was just thinking of former players this morning.)
NEVER CHANGE !
