Maybe not, I was mostly kidding anyway. If Golden comes here he can run whatever offense he likes.

That is one ugly tie and sports coat combo.
To put it in context (I just looked this up): according to rivals, Golden's 2011 transition class was ranked where Embree's first full class was ranked a year later. Golden's 2012 class was 9 overall, but large numbers. Very similar to UCLA's class last year. Golden's class this year is middle of the ACC, but it's a small class and he's got the highest average star rating of any ACC school. He's got BCS Coordinator experience, and a winning lifetime HC record at Temple and sanctions-laden Miami. Not too shabby. Bring in Golden as HC, Stitt as OC, and ??? as DC.
I actually thought this was an attempt at one:
There are places this could go, though, especially if Golden went to Golden to get his OC for the Golden Buffaloes.

Al was instrumental in UVA bringing in the 5th ranked class in the nation in 2002. That's at UVA, folks.

Wanted Golden instead of Embree; hoping against hope at the time, guessing he would have been State Penn's first choice to replace JoPa. He is a PSU alum and a former Pat!
It amuses me to end that you ****s think you know what your talking about when serious professionals with legions of staff with years in the industry can't get it right. But, whatevs... :tini:
Might as well shut down Allbuffs then. What the **** are you talking about?
Why yes. Yes I am.
He was DC, not HC, at UVA, while he was there the Cavaliers were 30-20 & went to three bowl games - from wikipedia:

Yeah, that wife of mine has got to go.
This is true. Especially when you factor in that Colorado fans like to bomb opposing fans with a Golden Shower.
Not sure about #3. I think the CU job poses a huge career risk.
Hopefully both, but for the purposes of my poorly worded statement, MINE :smile2:

The first year, 2001, was a rebuilding campaign. After that, Virginia posted 9 (finishing alone in 2nd in the ACC in 2002 despite being picked next to last) , 8 (2003 would have been much greater had Matt Schaub not been injured and not playing for most of the season)and 8 wins in Golden's final 3 seasons as DC in Charlottesville, rising as high as #5 in the top 25 in October 2004. He was an excellent recruiter and even better with the x's and o's, IMO. And yes, UVA faces numerous obstacles in getting top athletes due to their academic standards. Being key in bringing in the #5 class in the nation speaks for itself. FWIW, after Golden left UVA for HC at Temple, UVA began a decline that ended with Groh's ouster in 2009. There's a direct correlation between Golden's time at UVA and their "peak" of the Groh era.
