CanesAllAccess posted video of this morning’s press conference with head coach Al Golden and again it was candid, forthright and both lays out a game plan for the future, while explaining in detail the “why” behind what went wrong in 2011, Golden’s inaugural season.
Coach Golden addressed his contract, staying at UM long term, the brand that is ‘The U’, the recruiting game, as well as the past, present and future of Miami football. Golden stated that he feels the worst is behind UM regarding the NCAA investigation and called this next recruiting class ‘critical’ in the future of the program.
This is definitely a must-watch piece for all true Canes fans. It was another long season and again, a second straight six-loss season wore everyone done.
It’s been a rough half decade for “The U” and while many want – and even expect – an instant fix (re: “Look at what Brady Hoke did year one at Michigan!”, as if the situations are identical), that’s not how things work. Nor is it on Golden to fix five years worth of wrong over a four-month season.
For all the message board folk or armchair quarterback who feel that 6-6 was “unacceptable” and foolishly expected more, due to recruiting classes and the simple fact that this is UM, this presser does a good job showing the science behind the rebuild and bring you more into “the process” that Coach Golden oft talks about.
Best line of the day? Had to be, “6-6 not good enough for you? Trust me, I’m here eighteen hours a day, it ain’t good enough for me. We’ll get it fixed,” said Golden.
It proved to be a very candid piece and Golden had a lot of good to say. Check it out below, broken up into two parts. Watch it. Watch it again. Share with the rest of the #UFamily.
