The Miami Hurricanes are soon going to feel the wrath of the NCAA, when sanctions are expected to be levied against “The U,” following years of what many are reporting is improper actions by players and coaches. Whether or not Hurricanes head coach Al Golden sticks around long enough to try to overcome them will remain to be seen.
Over the past two days, two Miami football players have quit the team. A pair of juniors – Jermaine Johnson and Kelvin Cain – left the team after saying that they were unhappy with their playing time. As it turns out, they are not alone.
According to Jorge Milian of the Palm Beach Post, many players are upset with what they perceive is unfair treatment by Golden.
“Neither player has commented on why he left the team but there have been complaints by some that coach Al Golden is playing favorites by utilizing younger, less-experienced players that he recruited over guys that were brought in by former coach Randy Shannon,” said Milian. One UM upperclassman called me on Wednesday afternoon – first time that’s happened since I’ve been on this beat – voicing a similar complaint. The player did not want to be named, fearing that going public would subject him to recriminations from the coaching staff. But the player said that several of his teammates feel like they are seeing their game action reduced or taken away completely based primarily on their connection with the former staff.”
Milian does not believe that there is any truth to these claims by certain Hurricanes players in 2012. In fact, he was rather quick to dismiss them.
“Most coaches I know would play a serial killer if it meant the difference between winning and losing,” quipped Milian. “And, yes, most of those quitting or complaining haven’t exactly been tearing it up when given the opportunity to play. But on an extremely youthful squad that’s in the midst of a three-game losing streak and about to play arguably its most important game of the season, internal dissension of any kind is hardly welcomed.”
This has happened in the past. Certain coaches feel more comfortable playing the players who they recruited. They do so primarily because those are the players on whom they are staking their future. If other players who were brought in under the former regime get all the work, critics will question just what type of players the new coach is capable of bringing in to play. You have to give some of them a chance to prove what they are made of, even if it is at the expense at some of the older, more experienced players.
Now, I am not saying that you do this in exchange for a better chance to win games. That would be foolish. But if Golden says that he is playing the players who give Miami the best chance to win, then that is what he has to do. It is his call.
Of course, it is the university’s call as to exactly how long he gets to coach at Miami, so he better be right in selecting which players will start and receive the majority of the playing time from a week to week basis. Miami is just 4-4 after a three game losing streak has them in jeopardy of failing to become bowl eligible, but there is still time to turn things around.
The Hurricanes have four games left in 2012, starting at home against the Virginia Tech Hokies this coming Thursday. It would be nice if some fans actually came out and supported Miami, as they need to win at least two more games to have any shot of playing in a bowl game in 2012. Of course, some have suggested that the Hurricanes decline an opportunity to play in a bowl game this season as it could lessen future punishment, although that also remains to be seen.
Either way, this should go one of two ways.
Either more and more players will continue to leave Miami, leaving the Hurricanes in shambles in the midst of a mutiny. Or, Golden will encourage any of the players under the old coaching staff to leave the program as he cleans it up going forward.
Six to one, right?

Sorry, comments are closed on this post.
Did you even see what these upperclassmen accomplished in the years before Golden got there? Not only do they clearly lack the talent to start at an FBS school but the vast majority of them do not have the work ethic that Golden requires. This is a pretty silly article given that you probably couldn’t find a single Canes fan that would miss any of these guys. These players and their entitlement attitudes are what got Miami into this mess. Getting rid of the deadweight is just as important as good recruiting if Golden is going get this ship back on track.
Keep on purging!
Golden is dumping the cancer from the disasterous Randy Shannon era. Pretty simple Any other speculation is simply hysteria to up the hit count on websites.
OP IS A FAGGOT
And by OP, I mean Rob Kelley. BTW, great pic Rob. Asshat.
your just about the dumbest writer ever. You take a shitty news article then add your own words and make a spin on a story about nothing… great job!
Rob Kelley does gay porn with the other members of Bosley Hair Club. Dem plugs iz showing in dat pictuh Robbert.
I would like to address the rumors that have been going around on the internets about Coach Al Golden.
IT’S GARBAGE AND IT’S RUBBISH AND IT’S TOTAL GARBAGE AND IT’S NOT TRUE!
Rob Kelley was Victim # 1 , #17, #19 and 24 in the sandusky case.
NIGGA I READ YO BOOK
SHIT WAS TERRIBLE SON
I GAVE 0 STARS ON AMAZON NIGGA
NIGGA U RITE!
NIGGA U A SMART NIGGA!!!!!
“And, yes, most of those quitting or complaining haven’t exactly been tearing it up when given the opportunity to play”
should have been the end of this stupid article dumbass. you got a 12-paragraph quota or some shit?
I want to set the record straight. I did not give Rob Kelley the swine flu, because. for the record I have never had any swine flu on me, NOT ONE IOTA!
Obviously Al Golden hasn’t recruited the way he needs to to be competitive in the ACC. I wouldn’t be surprised if he’s fired.
I’ve had Robert Marve inside me:)
You wanna know why Kelvin Cain left the team? Because 1.) He didn’t show up for the walkthrough last Friday and 2.) HE DIDN’T SHOW UP FOR THE GAME. OH I WONDER WHY HE GOT KICKED OFF.
And not recruited the way he needs to? His first real class was a top 10 class with looming sanctions and he’s well on his way to a 2nd top 15 class with these sanctions pending.
AL GOLDEN IS A SAINT AND HE WOULDN’T GET FIRED. IT TOOK 4 YEARS TO FIRE SHANNON. Golden has already proven to be better than Shannon (don’t give me crap about their W/L records) and he is almost unanimously liked by everyone in and around the University of Miami.
Don’t drink the phag-ade about Golden being fired.
> Implying Jermaine Johnson didn’t leave like a month ago…credible as the dump I took a couple hours ago.
> Implying we play VT on Saturday? I better find a ride cause I’m pretty sure my ticket says THURSDAY.
“Either more and more players will continue to leave Miami, leaving the Hurricanes in shambles in the midst of a mutiny. Or, Golden will encourage any of the players under the old coaching staff to leave the program as he cleans it up going forward.” BASED ON WHAT ASSUMPTION? THE BASED GODS ASSUMPTION? DO YOU REALIZE THAT EVEN IF THOSE PLAYERS LEAVE WE’LL BASICALLY REMAIN IN THE SAME POSITION? WE’VE GOT 2 SENIOR STARTERS. SHAMBLES MY ASCOT.
Point is, if you’re constantly getting beat out by underclassmen in practice then you deserve to be a back up. And if you’re getting beat by the back up, then you deserve to be 3rd string. Put in the work, and you’ll be the starter. i.e Mike James, Brandon McGee, Allen Hurns.
In conclusion, OP is a Phag and in reference to the sanctions… WE SKATE.

OP is a faggot.
DEEEEEEEEERRRRRRRRRRR!
Ol Grand Man has journeyed to the highest peak in Shamong, NJ to speak with the grand master. And he has tasted Rob Kelley’s nipples and now overstands that Kelley’s knowledge is sour and subhuman.
The U on the helmet stands for useless, something the university has been for years now.Don’t worry, there might be a berth waiting in the Carquest Bowl on December 3rd for the Hurricanes. I’m certain a bowl game bid is looming, Miami is only two games behind Duke in the Coastal Conference standing. Let that soak in- DUKE.
BTW, how’d you “U” fans enjoy that recent beatdown from the Florida State Seminoles?
Honey. I told you before. The beatdown went on AFTER the game.
NUCKA WE GONNA RAPE THE SKITTLES OUT YOUR DONUT.
Ah may gerd! I wer gurring to writ this arturcle too!

Eric Schmidt is a faggot.
Eric please call the office as soon as possible. I believe I’ve found the cause of your vaginal bleeding.
Oh yeah Kelley? Well the jerk store called and they’re running out of you!
Honey! Where’s my belly rub?? And ummm… Who is your “boyfriend”? I’m the only one allowed to pepper your angus til it shivers like an Aussie in the Arctic. Ill pepper the Schmidt so hard… Oh goodness I’m ready. Come back to bed, I’ve laid out the satin…

According to multiple sources, I have been told that yes indeed the OP is a phaggot. My unnamed sources are also telling me that Eric Schmidt is in fact, a dirty lesbian.
I predicted this.
You failed your book report.
Yo someone tell this bitch ass writer to come to Sun LIfe next thursday so I can personally slap him in his face. PIECE OF SHIT DOUCHEBAG.
Joe joe joe. I fucked Rob Kelly in his ass and came in his Ramaen noodles joe. That’s the best quality joe.

Hey Andrew, delete this.
I miss dwill’s sweet ass.
Planned Parenthood? We’re going to get rid of that.
I’d like to gratulate Roy Kelleys on his fine work on this Spots Erslistrated blog on the Florida Gator. I specially like the part about Michael Cain. He was funny in Goldmemba. I know it was difficult for him in that movie with the matter the most pressure he was under.
Rob and I used to work at the same elementary school.
We collaborated on many extracurricular activities with the children.
He is fine man, and an even better writer.
Pigskin Report? Thought you wrote for the Foreskin Report
How does Shannon’s jizz taste?

So where did you get your hook-up from??? Bosley or Hair-Club for men ol’ donald trump azz nigga.
Will Rob Kelley stop looking like a child predator in his pictures???? Dunn Dunn Duuunnnn!!!
One of the most poorly written articles I’ve ever seen. Author, if you want to call him that, could at least spend a few seconds verifying facts such as this coming SATURDAYS game against VT which is atually next Thursday.
For the sake of the website, I hope they didn’t have to actually pay this guy for his ‘contribution’. The internet… great for porn… horrible for the level of journalism we have today.
PLEASE NO MORE DICKS!!! MAKE IT STOP!!! EVERY FUCKING NIGHT WITH THESE DICKS! I CAN’T TAKE IT ANYMORE!

Every night with the pickles. Just for once, can you eat some??
Let me explain,
Kelvin Caine was a pussified waste of DNA.
He couldn’t run, he couldn’t tackle.
He was unable to grasp even the most basic pop-warner scheme.
I would be surprised if he was able to masturbate without spraining his ankle.
I will continue to do everything in my power to bring a championship to the University of Miami.
Even if it means making shitty Shannon-era players quit the team.
Yo man, what’s this gerbil doing all up in here??
Rob,
Please remember to go to the store and buy some “supplies”. I’ve been feeling so dirty (mmm yummmzzz) since our last sponge bath.

I’m here to announce my intentions to marry Heather Dinnich. She’s the love of my life and we share the same love for Miami football. There is not one iota that says other wise. The rumors that Heather and I are not together are rubbish and YOU CAN ALL GO TO HELL. YOU CAN ALL GO TO FUCKING HELL.
