Al Golden is spiteful in his lawsuit against Miami football program
Golden continued to kvetch about the Hurricanes schedule. He alleged James promised seven home games in 2015 and Miami wound up with five. That included three of the first five on the road with a road game at Group of Five opponent Florida Atlantic 50 miles north of Coral Gables.
Golden should look at his alma mater Penn State. He was a tight end for the Nittany Lions in 1990 and ’91. Golden recorded 17 receptions for 231 yards and two touchdowns in his two seasons. All but three receptions for 28 yards came in his first season.
The Nittany Lions lost with Golden 26-20 to Miami in 1991 in a game known for being preempted by Clarence Thomas’s Supreme Court affirmation hearings. Golden referenced Penn State and Joe Paterno in his lawsuit.
Bill O’Brien and his successor James Franklin were able to bring the Nittany Lions out of a far more revolting scandal than the Miami football program had. O’Brien was 15-9 in two seasons in Happy Valley and Franklin is currently 55-23 in six seasons.
Next. Anthony Chickillo highly critical of Al Golden. dark
It is understandable that Golden wants to protect his family, but his lawsuit might have ended any chance he will get to be a college or NFL head coaching job in the future. At a school with an incredible history and four national championship coaches, the Golden era at Miami was anything but.
