A Golden hire?

I know everyone is all over the Miami Hurricanes for hiring relative unknown Al Golden.  I think it is a bit early to throw him under the bus.  Taking a terrible Temple team and turning them into something relevant is amazing.  Consider that no graduating Temple player has ever had a winning record in their careers, until this year.  Simply amazing!

Miami has not been relevant since the 90s.  Hiring re-treads from the NFL and nowhere assistants is not going to get Miami back to national relevance.  Hiring a fast riser from a small school could be the home run that Miami needs to get back to the National scene.

Randy Shannon was a good fellow and graduated his players.  He did many things right, except win games and National titles.  Al Golden has to recruit and win.  The first 4 games of the upcoming season are crutial for Golden and the Hurricanes.
