OT: Really can't help but like Al Golden

[NationofVols]

Just like the way he presents himself, he was able to succeed at Temple of all places, and is in a bad spot with all the mess going on down there.

I don't care for Miami because of all of Da U crap, but it's rare that I'll keep watching the game to see how a coach does.

He's an old school class act. Its hard not to like the guy.

I do feel bad for him, finally getting that dream job, then the crap hits the fan. Since the administration there is every bit as guilty, they owe him at least four years, unconditionally.

I wish Dooley would go hardcore old-school and do the coat and tie thing. Orange pants, white hounds-tooth coat, orange Tennessee tie. SO totally want this to happen

Just feel so bad for the guy...

I do too. He deserves a clause to break out of his contract.

And I like him as well.

He just beat Ohio State and works in a hot bed of talent....Miami will survive

well, unless they get the death penalty. I hope for him they do, though. he seems straight up good people

I like him because he's stuck around with that giant knife planted in his back by the Miami administration. That takes some balls.

He's going to Penn State within two years anyways.

Question: Did we even offer Golden after Kiffin left? Because if we didn't, we are dumb.

mr golden is a classy man and we are lucky to have him.

Golden is the man and Miami is very lucky to have him at the helm right now. It sucks what the administration did to him, but he's got the most job security of any coach in college football right now. If he starts losing games, theres no way Miami fires him because of how he conducted himself when the scandal broke. If he wants to go elsewhere, the social backlash if Miami didn't let him out of his contract would be too much to bear.

He's coaching a team loaded with NFL talent and we just knocked OSU out of the top 25 for the first time in 7 years. Al Golden doesn't need our pity.

We interviewed him, but I'm pretty sure Golden was never offered the job. He was actually the guy I wanted at the time.
