im not defending miami as much as saying it because i'm a realist. yes the AD flip was odd but he also is said to have no real teeth there. he was promoted on the cheap because their previous AD bolted for texas freaking tech.
and im not at all arguing Miami is a better job like
@jetsaholic apparently jumped on. just saying this has nothing to do with it.
Golden was a dead man walking and then 58-0 happened. BoT got pissed and probably ordered James to fire Golden immediately. WHich is a hell of a lot more plausible than UM leaders shivering over UCF.
Right or wrong, their leaders also think much higher of themselves. They still see themselves as the school with the expectations of 5 national championships. Which is also why i dont think they will actually want a position coach whose best HC resume is having like one 'decent' season at FIU (even if it makes somewhat sense on paper to the rest of us). They JUST did that with Al Golden/Temple.
