McMurphy: Golden & Ash are ....

[demauroj]

Your definition of "very good" must be different from mine.

Apparently so is my knowledge of college football ..... You see big names in lights. I see a good coach that was out in a bad situation, and a very good DC who want to take the next step.

Here is what a Cane fan has to say about Golden:

I'll give you some reasons from a canes pov:
_____________________________________
- very average gameplanner.
- intractable philosophy on defense - square peg round hole
- micromanaged his staff
- didn't understand how to recruit sofla talent
- beefed up his players unnecessarily to fit an antiquated plodding scheme that was slow to react
- teams consistently had mental mistakes
- evolved into a spin master/car salesman kind of guy
- always said "starts with me" but proceeded to throw players under the bus

I'll give him his due - he stuck it out through some tough times and is a tireless worker but I question where his work efforts were aimed at (his ridiculous infamous 300 page binder that's filled with newspaper clippings, quotes, rules on how to be gentlemen, etc).

Sounds like a lousier version of Greg Schiano

Micromanagement is a deadly sin in my book. Micromanagers make the team's collective football IQ go down. What's the point of having coordinators if they can't make adjustments? What's the point of recruiting smart players if you force them to do dumb things?

Maybe we can borrow the banners from Miami fans.

Oh somebody please photoshop an R in front of the U in that banner.

Wrong. He was their DC in '13, not '12.

Oh Okay... So we beat him in 2013 and Robb Smith had to come in and fix the D in the biggest turnaround in the SEC? No thank you! Hire Robb Smith then!

I just called NJAIRADS, this one is flying over the stadium tomorrow. Not cheap but worth it.
