If walks like duck and quacks like a duck, it's a duck! Below does not make me feel like the sun is rising. It's makes me believe what most feel on this board, the sun will be setting on Golden's career here by year's end!


Miami football has never been tougher to figure out because of all of this. Some of the things Golden does just seem inexplicable. People who are supposed to be experts shake their heads in wonderment while every move gets celebrated on Twitter as if the Hurricanes have just won the national title.

Golden makes sense of what doesn't make sense while oil gushes through the holes the program definitely still must plug. It doesn't matter how much you think you know. He delivers his messages with such unwavering conviction that you can't help but have some self doubt about what you see and what you think.

You watch a scrimmage and you walk away unable to imagine how, for example, his defense can possibly be better in 2015 than it was in that disastrous season a year ago. And the first thing Golden compliments after the scrimmage is the defense.

You watch the offensive line unable to open holes in the run game, know those guys are nowhere close to ready to compete in September, and they get kudos too.

Practice might look lethargic, the team marginally interested at times. You have watched guys in uniform literally dancing to music on the sidelines. But you are told how much the effort has been amped up.

All of it is used as fodder to try to get people imprisoned by that negativity to just be positive for a change. There is no denying that the Miami program has been swallowed up by negativity for several years now, whether it has been earned with an exclamation point or not. As much as finding a replacement for Duke Johnson and hoping Al-Quadin Muhammad plays half as good as he looks, Golden's future on South Beach, waking up to those pretty sunrises, hinges a lot on getting people to simply feel good about what he is doing.
