Michel Irvin reacts to hiring of Al Golden as UM coach

[joseymaru]

@florida0631 Tebow plays with dickheads and kisses men on national TV..

[gpride33458]

What did Mike ever do to you? Michael Irvin is already in the HOF moron! Maybe you missed his acceptance speech idiot! Come back here and talk about Michael Irvin when you're wearing an NC and 3 SB rings! Otherwise, go back to your miserable, nobody life you troll!

[JackieMinorca]

True champions at Miami = punks swaggering doing hoes, drugs and taking $...and remember: Can't spell scUM without UM!!!!!!!

[drbayoms]

@JackieMinorca

"doing hoes, drugs and taking $..."

These are basic Capitalist "spoils" (regardless of education level or background). Wall St., Government, Big Oil, etc. Wherever there are RICH GUYS, there will be hoes, drugs & money. This is very much part of the fabric of america. Capitalism is VERY MUCH american. So are hoes, drugs and money. Take some time and research the rich & wealthy of this world. Research how their families made their fortunes. Your ignorance is a little unsettling.

[drbayoms]

@JackieMinorca

True champions are paid for their services. Capitalism = America.

[HEAT1996]

To all who swear UM will get the death penalty...You're just wishing. They will not get the death penalty. UM Football is too lucrative to the NCAA to be cancelled. They will be sanctioned, but not cancelled to the point of no return. Not gonna happen. Stop hating. I'm a USC Trojan fan so I have no reason to be biased. However, Trojans know the same thing Cane's know...Winning with Swag...Hate on while we Fight ON! Nuff said. 

[bkkid12203]

Golden better bring that Jimmie johnson swagger back to the U

[MrBillyBatts1]

@bkkid12203 Golden better learn to like the dealth penalty and the rest of the punishment thats being handed down by the NCAA!! hahahahahaha quite pipe dreaming, miami is finished for good and will now join SMU!! bye bye miami, SCUMBAGS!!!

[01CanesrdGOAT]

Whuddup Manny!!

[bostonfan1246]

It's too noisy, you can barely hear anything!

[vegastyphoon]

Clean, my ass. Golden better take the Howard Schnellenberger approach and go back to the days where Miami beat everyone up. Nice guys play tennis, not football.

[MrBillyBatts1]

@vegastyphoon miami isnt going to be beating ANYONE up anytime soon, they will be getting the Dealth penalty which they have earned. You can forget all about miami cause they aint ever coming back, say hi to SMU for us! hahahahaha

[ekbmiami]

The worst thing about this upcoming year is we will still have Jascooby doo Harris at the helm... You cant polish a turd

[dabsabeast69]

@ekbmiami hahahaha i lold at that statement

[ekbmiami]

We need a coach that will have player ON THE FIELD accountability....this business of high fiving guys after a good play when your team is down 21 garbage is rediculous.. RUN the ball and play DEFENSE used to be the ole' motto... now its pass on first down and run on second to set up the looong 3rd down incompletion or in recent years the interception... these recruits were recruited for run blocking if anyone knows anything about these guys... as you can see pass protection is sub par

[dtooth825]

@HurricaneWins You need to get out of here with that graduation rate and off the field issues bullshit. These players should be able to and expected to stay out of trouble without a coach holding their hand. May I suggest that you change your name because you are for damn sure not about the Canes winning. As for your NFL draft statement, I beleive it was within the Shannon era that the first round streak ended. I am gonna miss his piss poor clock management and being in the Who-Gives-A-Fuck Bowl

[beabaseball19]

@dtooth825 your the fucking man haha

[Canesnumber1stunner]

@dtooth825 you also forgot to mention his emotionless coaching abilities and lack of push for it!But your right lol.......we will miss that 2nd rate mantality 4 sure at the []_[].

[drbayoms]

@dtooth825

"players should be able to and expected to stay out of trouble without a coach holding their hand"

That sure is not the same expectation a coach promises when he sits in the home of a 17 year old kid he is trying to recruit. What planet are you from? When a 40+ year old man sits in the living room of any young person's house and promises to "take care" of their son. They ALSO become accountable for that person. Funny how these coaches get the accolades, but NOT the responsibility.

[ooheey8]

hands down, the worst on field coach of all time. week in and week out all he put on the field was a flat, unprepared team. do you think anyone is gonna remember that randy shannon had a top recruiting class? nope. know why? because not one of them produced even a bowl win. the only player that has developed into a great player under randy is hands down, leonard hankerson. in which i give all credit to mark duper for his productivity.

[Canesnumber1stunner]

@ooheey8 Well lets just hope Golden can run a clean program and produce the quality players needed to win a NC.You are right as a fan..but it is possible to have both a national contending team and a quality educational program at the same time!

[ooheey8]

Do you realize your argument literally has nothing to do with coaching a football team? why the fuck would myself as a sports fan care about kids graduating from college? i wanna see this team win games and make something out of those "top" classes. the man did literally nothing for this team but recruit stupid athletes whom in which he helped get a college education. WHOOP-TE-FUCKIN-DO!

[HurricaneWins]

RS Haters. You're all sick... in the HEAD. Randy Shannon turned Miami into a top 5.. YEA I SAID TOP 5 Academic Football Program. Miami has a 95% Athlete Graduation Success Rate.. Shannon did what? LMAO. Not to mention Shannon brought in 3 top 10 Recruiting classes Including a Number 1 Class. He also grabbed Seantrel Henderson NOT AL GOLDEN. Even Brandon Harris 1st RD Pick (Shannon's Recruit) not to mention not 1 player has been involved with off field troubles since R.I.P Brian Patta, WAKE UP!

[mistanderson]

@HurricaneWins You are right even though Shannon and the team didn't live up to the extreme wins, those boys did graduated and stayed out of trouble.

[bandoftreats]

@HurricaneWins you will have a high graduation rate when your players arent good enough to go in to the draft as Juniors..

[rtthompson1swagg]

@HurricaneWins let me tell you something its about W...bob scoops has one of the worst graduation rates, kids always in trouble, ncaa investigations and everything that is bad...however he wins it doesnt matter how bad you screw up as long as you WIN true indeed randy shannon did those things but he failed to due what he was paid to do thats WIN...

[Landons1Dad]

RANDY SHANNON CARED ABOUT THE PLAYERS GRADES IN SCHOOL AND THATS IT!! I MYSELF AM A MIAMI FANATIC. I DONT CARE ABOUT IF THE PLAYERS GET AN A, B OR A GOD DAMN C. ALL I CARE ABOUT IS THE PLAYERS GETTING A GOD DAMN ...W !!!!!!!!!!!!! GO GOLDEN!!!

[maniac4lyfe]

he's still smokin that herb, I can tell, any weed smoker can tell. Those suckers are pink and glassy lookin lol, its all good tho mike ha!

[Qnz1kim]

@maniac4lyfe LMAO !

[Bcroft39]

I'm a die hard cane fan and have been since the 80's. I don't know how good Golden is gonna be, but he can't be any worse than Randy Shannon..I sure hope he can bring back some pride to the U..GO CANES!!!!!

[jcmcninch]

Well said! Bottom line, win some Championships!! GO CANES!!!

[fritzoboy239]

Respect

[tcork1224]

To anyone that is dumb enough to say his character isn't for Miami, me is the modern snelenburger. he is a spitting image in the he talks and acts. he will bring miami to the top.

[jachristian100]

@tcork1224 Right on brother

[kdwhite11]

Well, he wasn't my 1st or 100th choice, but I bleed orange & green, so I am with him!! If he maintains a close communication with the former players, they will open the doors to the high school power programs in Miami Dade, and he will have national champion talent to work with. It's all about the U!!

[drawz611]

My favorite part of Al Golden's introduction was he wants the former players to come back and be a part of the team. Help these kids out. That's something Randy Shannon stayed away from and I think that was a big mistake. It's all about the U!!!! ll_ll

[texaswarhawk]

Wow. The guy's here only 48 hours and the gloom and doom vultures have already dug his grave. Sad. From what I saw on that podiuim, he deserved more than a chance, he deserves (and needs) Canes' Fans' support. He gets it - the tradition, the need for passion and energy, the history...give the guy a chance!

[imatracer]

Let's hope the U and the former players are paying attention!!!! Time to rebuild, regroup and reload. Go 'CANES!!!!

[torren32]

Miami needs to find their Offense...There is no physical play coming from the U. From what I hear this head coach wont bring that in either...Welcome to another few years of 8-9 wins & a meaningless bowl game

[MrFree12]

@torren32 well another fan who is clueless

[torren32]

@MrFree12 - Clueless? Try me. I've followed the Canes for many years, and a discipline coach, and a guy who strives on Defense. Go read about Golden, you might learn something. Temple is not MIAMI, he's not going to come to the ACC and beat up teams like he did w/ Buffalo & Akron.

[JHtheKING1]

@torren32 Gosh you are stupid. Did you see what he did at Temple? He made one of the worst programs in the country a good team. Well Randy Shannon didn't like to talk. Obviously you didn't know THAT much about him. He didn't call recruits because he didn't like talking on the phone. He refused to let Randal Hill sit on our sidelines when we played FSU. Anthony Chickillo, a 4* DE committed to the U said he talked to Golden for 20 mins on the phone and Randy would never do that.

[torren32]

@JHtheKING1 Key word, TEMPLE. They fucking played nobody! Shannon did very well recruiting here for "not talking on the phone"...I believe we pulled in a major class a few years ago, that was a top ranked class. How do you do that? Explain it. Go look at fucking Temple's strength of schedule & the shitty school's they played. If he TURNS the Canes around vs TOP TEAMS, I will be the first back here to say, I was wrong. Until then, shut the fuck up about what he did @ Temple...It means NOTHING!

[whiteliberal1]

@torren32 Thank you for your comment!

I totally agree. None of these clowns won't mention the fact that Randy's players weren't arrested and he had the 3rd highest graduation rate behind the Naval Academy and Army. This Hocutt weasel never liked Randy from the start. It took Donna (President) to make the call. Randy inherited a losing team as well. Coker watched all that talent Butch recruited just go away.

I was a U fan, but as long as hocutt is there, they can go 6-6 for all I care!

[igorsmov]

@torren32 clueless.  You hear Golden talk and Shannon talk. Big difference.

[torren32]

@igorsmov - Big difference? All f'n coaches TALK, it's about WHO does the job. Get real...and face the facts. Im a die hard Cane fan, and I cant admit to shame when I see it.

[torren32]

@igorsmov - Also your stupid ass is from Russia, you know nothing about Florida football. (High school,College, or the NFL)

[JHtheKING1]

@torren32 If you followed recruiting you would know how much our new staff has done in the past few weeks. We now have over 30 recruits visiting this month. Guess how many Randy had scheduled? Like one or two. Randy had strained his relationship with some high school coaches and refused to recruit some schools. Gerrod Holliman is a 4* S and said he probably would have come here if we would have recruited him from the beginning. But Randy wouldn't recruit his school. WE'RE BACK

[JHtheKING1]

@torren32 Excuse me it's Gerod Holliman.

[igorsmov]

@torren32 pull your dad's and uncle's Cocks out of your ass and mouth before you try to type. Your boy Randy was clueless and brought UM even down further. You know nothing about football period. They should have never hired that clown to began with.

[torren32]

@igorsmov Listen closely, and follow me. Randy Shannon did a GOOD job, OFF THE FUCKING FIELD. What part of that DONT YOU UNDERSTAND? I know your not to bright and all, but look outside of the box that your trapped in for just once. Realize something else besides a stat. Shannon recruited very well, and had his guys OUT OF TROUBLE! Now shut the fuck up, and go enjoy the Russian women and their hairy arm pits you douche'
