I hope Golden watched these old players talking about how your #1 goal is beating Florida State. Golden is such a loser.

Miami is still a basketball school even with that horrendous loss. Once Larannaga leaves, all potential goodness for the basketball program leaves with him. Unless the school leadership changes for the better (the BOT particularly) the school over the long term will never be where it could be and will always underachieve.

Don't see why this isn't Larranaga's last stop, and he's signed through 2022, but okay.

Uhh Rome being... Miami? Gibbons is rolling in his grave.
The Rome in this story was the ancient football powers in the 80s that fell to Miami. Miami were the barbarian invaders that marched on Rome, bringing the system of CFB order to an end.

Well we got smoked.
Some fan had run into Larranaga when they were on their winning streak and Coach L basically said that they were too young and had a long time to go. So at least his realistic 3rd hand comment had me a little prepared for this.

Yeah, Miami ain't a basketball school. Larranaga has a much tougher job than Golden does. Golden doesn't have to travel more than 25 miles to field a competitive football team.
Miami will always be a football school, even if it's not a very good one.

Very frustrating. Just go hire Davis before some other school snatches him up. I like Golden and his vision, but he hasn't delivered and gives no indication of delivering.
Meanwhile Butch is basically auditioning for the corch job on this show. Snooze away Miami admins.

Randy Shannon to the Gators. Ow.
He did a great job at Arkansas these past 2 years getting some real gems out of the Miami area (Denver Kirkland and Alex Collins - starters since freshman). He also helped turn Martrell Spaight from a seldom used LB to 1st team All-SEC this year.
A real coup for the Gators and a big loss for my Hogs (although realistically I didn't think he would be in Arkansas for long).

You thought there was a chance he was getting fired in the same time frame real football programs fire their head coaches? lol
Miami's leadership (Shalala, most of the BoT's and most of the people underneath them as well) is terrible and on top of that they don't actually care about football if you can't tell. At all. 3 shit hires in a row. Garbage retreads and crap for assistant coaches under each HC. Garbage facilities operated by under qualified staff. Miami football has been mismanaged for over a decade and the results on the field are the proof of it.
The 4th HC is going to be shit too. Whoever that ends up being will be in Miami after next season unless Golden finds an out before then.

The last hope for Miami football's resurrection is if that piece of shit Robert Fain screws up by his own standards and manages to find a good school president with a real background (the opposite of Donna Shalala who has been an academic and a politician her entire life which is garbage) who will then hopefully appoint a real AD that can at least seriously work to turn a joke program into a high level one. The school's spending practice's might have to change as well.

Article that provides insight on Duke and Miami
Duke vs. Miami final score: 3 things we learned from the Blue Devils' second straight loss
By Mike Rutherford @CardChronicle on Jan 13 2015, 11:27p +
Rob Kinnan-USA TODAY Sports
After starting the season with 14 straight convincing victories, Duke has suddenly lost back-to-back games by double digits. Is it time to panic in Krzyzewskiville?
Tweet (143) Share (804) Share
The common thought after the first two months of the 2014-15 college basketball season was that Kentucky was the best team in the country, and that Duke was the only squad with a legitimate chance of stopping them.
It made sense. The Blue Devils were loaded with NBA talent and had rolled through their first 14 opponents, a stretch that included arguably the season's most impressive victory, an 80-70 win over Wisconsin inside the Kohl Center.
Now, suddenly, that line of thinking has evaporated.
Miami became the second straight team to take down Duke Tuesday night, dismantling the Blue Devils inside Cameron Indoor Stadium, 90-74. The Hurricanes shot a blistering 51.8 percent from the floor, including 10-of-20 from behind the 3-point line. Four Hurricanes scored in double figures, led by Angel Rodriguez's 24 points and Manu Lecomte's 23. The torrid shooting allowed the Canes to run away with the game despite being outrebounded 41-31.
Here are three things we learned from this surprising result in Durham:
1. Angel Rodriguez loves the big stage
Rodriguez, who is in his first year at Miami after transferring from Kansas State, spoke before the game about his eagerness to show what he can do in his first appearance at Cameron Indoor. He didn't disappoint, burying four 3-pointers on his way to a game-high 24 points, while also chipping in five assists and five steals.
After a slow start to begin the game, Rodriguez exploded for 8 points in a span of 38 seconds to help the Hurricanes turn a six-point deficit into a two-point lead.
Rodriguez has emerged as not only Jim Larranaga's most talented player, but his undisputed leader and most clutch performer. He scored 24 points in the Miami's November victory over then-No. 8 Florida, and dropped 25 in a double overtime loss to still undefeated Virginia. He's the single biggest reason why Miami appears on its way back to the NCAA Tournament after a one-year hiatus.
2. Some of the defensive woes that doomed Duke last season are still around
There were hoards of awful jokes about Duke not deserving the "D" at the beginning of their name last season, as the Blue Devils commonly allowed opponents to drop some massive numbers on them. It was a trend that ultimately led to their undoing, as they ran into a Mercer team that could shoot the lights (especially when left wide open) out in the NCAA Tournament's Round of 64.
That was supposed to be different this season with the combination of tough, veteran guards and an elite rim defender in Jahlil Okafor. Clearly, there are still some issues.
Plenty of people will say that NC State and Miami both shooting the lights out is more of an anomaly than a trend for the Cameron Crazies to freak out over, but it's impossible to look at the tapes of either game and claim that Duke's defense (or lack thereof) had nothing to do with their opponents posting huge numbers.
Put bluntly, Duke did nothing to stop Miami on Tuesday night. Their guards couldn't stay in front of Rodriguez, their big men couldn't hedge properly when trying to defend the pick-and-roll, and their wings helped out in situations where they had no business doing so, leaving open man after open man on the perimeter. It was the type of defensive performance that will get them beaten for a third-straight game if they bring it with them to Louisville on Saturday.
3. The nation's longest homecourt winning streak is dead
The Blue Devils had won 41 straight games at Cameron Indoor, the nation's longest home winning streak, and the third-longest in both program and ACC history. Before Tuesday, Duke hadn't been beaten at home since North Carolina did the trick on March 3, 2012. This also marked the first time that Duke has lost back-to-back regular season games since 2009.
The new owner of the homecourt winning streak record? Gonzaga, which has won 34 straight at the McCarthey Athletic Center.

Miami is a good team. Rodriguez is playing at 1st team all acc level right now, and, imo, Larranaga is the most underrated coach in the nation. That WKU loss reminds me a lot of the loss UVa had last year against Tennessee; a 30 point blowout that, rather than sink the season, rallied the team for ACC play. Definitely not a team I'd want uva to see in the acc tourney

Blake James, Donna Shalala's puppet AD embarrasses himself again. AD staffers were confiscating UM student's "Fire Al Golden" signs against Virginia and Boston. When asked about this, he explained that they were just enforcing rules that were already in place. Too bad the Bank United Center's rules page had no mention of signs up until they got changed after he made his statement.

I hate Donna Shalala and the BoT way more than I dislike Golden, his crap assistants and his crap coaching. I don't even hate Swasey, who is an unqualified, glorified personal trainer that has unjustifiably stuck around for years as the head strength and conditioning coach. They are all just piss poor hires in a long line of them hired by these worthless clowns in Miami's administration. I mean if you care to look, there are unqualified people all over the athletic department in top positions. The university of Miami's football problems go way past Golden.
Anyway the basketball team (the one team the University of Miami has in a major sport that isn't shit and is actually enjoyable to watch as well) beat Syracuse. I don't know much about college basketball in terms of the tourney process or anything really but Miami basketball seems to be pretty solid.

lol, I don't know why Swasey keeps making it into your venom, except you know how many people like him. How many guys has he put in the league? How many guys in the league (who didn't even go to Miami) attend Swasey's off-season program? How many ex-Hurricanes swear by the guy? And not just as a trainer but as a moral guide?
On what basis does anyone call him unqualified? I've never heard a bad word about the guy from anybody actually associated with the game, it's just fans who can't think of shit else to bitch about, and like naming relatively obscure coaches as the problem to show how "insider" they are.

He is unqualified. That goes without saying. He's a sociology major from Baylor with no strength and conditioning background outside of the University of Miami (gee I wonder why). He also has no certifications in a field that's RIFE WITH THEM. Tommy Moffit built the strength program. Then he left for a school with a real athletic department like most good football coach's that get to the University of Miami. Swasey has been coasting off of Moffit's work ever since. Naturally the results on the field have fallen off. You can't expect the super to do the engineers job. He's just there to make sure all the workers show up and do what they're supposed to do. Once structural changes need to be made the super is lost.

At any major football program that's joke experience for a head strength coach. Period. For comparison...
Don't even bother pulling up the strength coaches at the schools that most think the school competes with. I picked 1 decent program and 2 joke ones to make my point. Swasey is laughably unqualified.
Also to be clear, Swasey is just a symptom of the real problem. Outside of the basketball program, these kids are getting crap coaching at every level but people either wonder why the team constantly underachieves or they blame the head coach and only the head coach which is amazing to me. The answers are all there if most Cane's fans would just open up their eyes and look.
The real problem are the people that run the school. Swasey is just one symptom of many. I point him out because he's an easy target and his results are crap on the field.

Don't even bother pulling up the strength coaches at the schools that most think the school competes with. I picked 1 decent program and 2 joke ones to make my point. Swasey is laughably unqualified.
Also to be clear, Swasey is just a symptom of the real problem. Outside of the basketball program, these kids are getting crap coaching at every level but people either wonder why the team constantly underachieves or they blame the head coach and only the head coach which is amazing to me. The answers are all there if most Cane's fans would just open up their eyes and look.
The real problem are the people that run the school. Swasey is just one symptom of many. I point him out because he's an easy target and his results are crap on the field.

pressure cooker full of skittles
lol, he doesn't have a certification in strength conditioning, that's the argument? Not the personal vouchers of legions of current and former Miami athletes, and a bunch of pro bowlers who never even went to Miami.
I bet those S&C certs are really hard to come by.
How come all those NFL guys aren't hitting up Rowan's offseason program then?
