Al Golden sucks

[Deleted]

Even after a win, albeit against an awful team, when addressing the issue of penalties, he throws his players under the bus. I do not care if we win the rest of our games, he simply has to go.



"The penalties, I just told the captains they need to handle it,” Golden said. “We’ve shown everything. We’ve drilled everything. We’ve been punitive. We’ve done everything you possibly can. They have to own it right now. They have to own it, because it’s sloppy. It’s the same things. To get an unsportsmanlike conduct after a touchdown, that’s a poor reflection on our team and obviously as me as head coach. I have to fix that. But those operational ones, players need to step up and fix those immediately, or it’s going to hurt us.”

Who do you want for the next coach?

I am not even sure whom we could get at this point. No money for assistants, dog sh!t facilities, lousy fan base....not the easiest sell. I would take a look at the following:

Mark Stoops
Hue Jackson
Justin Fuente
And even though I do not think he would leave yet....Tom Hermann


I am not buying that we have a shot at bigger names, Butch is too old, and I do not want a Miami re-tread like Schiano, Chud or Cristobal

Reading what he said gives me the impression he's quitting on them.

I think Herman ends up at Texas, not after this year, but after next year. They will give Charlie Strong one more year and then can him if he doesn't produce. They're still paying off Mack Brown this year.

I think he has, he looks defeated on the sidelines even before the game starts. I do not think he can win the AWFUL Coastal Division, and if he does not, he is gone.

Not a bad theory, but as rabid as Texas fans are, I am not sure he would be a big enough name right now, especially since they still think they may get Saban....as delusional as that may be.

Yep...they want Saban and they're ready to open up their wallets to get him. But he's not that far away from retirement and why would he want to re-build another program? Texas recruiting is in the toilet and it will take a couple of years to get the kind of players he needs there.

Agreed, the only thing that would get him to go there is his massive ego at this point.

Why take Saban when you can have the guy that beat him like a drum (on the offensive side of the ball)?

Because Saban is a "name" and the big money Texas alums want a "name" coach. Herman is the better pick of the two for the long run, but Saban has the cachet and the name recognition for recruiting.

How about John Cooper?

As long as they don't mind losing to their biggest rival every year...
And their bowl games...
