Golden talks a GREAT game, he has a plan and sells it well. Personally, I buy in, I think he has Miami on the road back to national prominence, but some fans are already wary of all the big talk. They want instant results.
I love twitter...
@davetvsports: Keep an eye on this: Miami coach Al Golden is in Knoxville today. Coincidence?
@MiamiRadioBeast: READ THIS PLEASE: AL GOLDEN WAS SEEN MOMENTS AGO IN THE HECHT CENTER PARKING LOT. HE'S NOT IN KNOXVILLE. STOP THE INSANITY. @davetvsports...
Nope. No one does....

BLIND RESUME...
Available coach....
Has won BCS conference championships...
Career record - 72-25....
Has a BCS National Championship ring...

If Golden comes to...
Where's the link to this?
I believe he's going to interview, hell, I'm a Dolphins fan and remember "I guess i have to say it, I will not be the Alabama coach." But I don't see him leaving. Golden was quoted 2 days ago in his press conference: "I know if I told my wife we're leaving Miami...
I was at the Miami v. Mich State game last night, Golden was there with his entire coaching staff, players and recruits rooting on the Canes basketball team. He didn't look like a guy who's leaving.
