  • If we hire another unmitigated disaster of a coach (golden, Petrino, etc), I am going to replace watching the actual football season with watching DVDs of past seasons.

    I am not doing another year like this one.

  • Golden and Petrino have won wherever they have been. Neither are disasters.

    ^^^ This ^^^. I love how the experts on here have already decided who will be successful and who won't. It bothered me at first but now I just find it funny. I remember when the Falcons hired Mike Smith and everyone howled in protest about how stupid Blank and Dimitroff were. Who is laughing now?

  • I don't think Golden has. 27-34 at Temple (although he did turn them around to a level of respectability) and 12-11 at Miami.

    I don't know if you could say a career record of 39-45 is exactly the picture perfect example of a winner. I would like to see UT pass over him. I don't think he is capable of winning a NC. JMO.

    Petrino has a ton of baggage. He can coach though. The question is does UT want to subject themselves to another sideshow act with Petrino like it had with Kiffin. I would think not. Again, JMO.

    You look for improvement at those places. Each year he get's better. Next year Miami will be really good. They start 2 SENIORS! that's it and still went 7-5 and could've played in the ACC championship. Duke Johnson is a monster and they will continue to build depth up front. Miami is 2 years away from winning the ACC.

    Driz..as you can tell by my name, I have a team in the ACC I pull for, but winning your division in the ACC is not really something that you can brag about.

    One has a losing record and one is a loser in life.

    Not trying to flame, but this sounds like the same excuse we used for Derrick Dooley for years 1 and 2. And you can't say for sure that next year Golden and the Canes will be really good. Just not quite sold on Golden yet...
