Why has there been so much sympathy for the plight of Al Golden? He gets paid handsomely to coach college football and that is what he will do. If anything, the expectations for the next few years will be lower and he can do what Butch Davis did in the 1990s and slowly build a winner. If the Miami program gets the death penalty then he can move on. So why are we that concerned about him? It is not like he went to Vanderbilt or Northwestern only to find himself in the middle of a scandal. He went to Miami! And history shows us that many football-mad programs have come back strong from probation, like Alabama in the past few years. After all, it is college football and you can rebuild quickly. So, spare your tears for the very wealthy Al Golden, who as football to coach.
