What once looked like an impossibility, came to fruition this evening.
Al Golden is no longer the Head Football Coach at The University of Miami.
Despite numerous assertions by AD Blake James that Golden and his staff would be re-evaluated at the end of the season, a decision was made tonight fresh off the heels of the worst loss in program history.
Assistant coach Larry Scott will serve as the Interim Head Coach for the remainder of the 2015 season.
“Coach Golden has led our program through some very difficult times and he has done so with class, integrity and a true desire to see our students succeed on the field, in the classroom and in the community.” James said. “However, we have a proud tradition of excellence at Miami, not just in football but in all sports, and we want to compete for ACC and national championships. I simply believe that now is the time to bring the Hurricane Family together and rally behind our young men.”

Some potential candidates for full time replacement include former Miami player/coordinator Rob Chudzinki (currently on the Colts staff), former UM player and current Alabama assistant Mario Cristobal, and former DC/Rutgers Coach Greg Schiano.
