In addition, this day finally arrived on North Broad Street.
Gold is the new coach at the University of Miami, the school announced yesterday evening. Or replace Randy Shannon, who was fired after home loss hurricanes in the South of Florida in the November 27 regular season finale. A press conference is scheduled for 6 p.m. tonight in Miami, where it is believed that gold will be introduced.
A close source situation says what or informed his players his decision yesterday evening. It could not be reached for comment.
Shannon, a former linebacker UM, visited four seasons 28 - 22. (7-5) Hurricanes play Notre Dame (7-5) in December 31 Sun Bowl in El Paso, Texas. Acting coach Jeff Stoutland is supposed to coach of this game.
"Al Golden has not only won games at Temple University, but he has built a football program and it was the right way," Bradshaw said in a release. "It engineering of reversals of most remarkable in Division I history, and not only he turn Temple football there so that it will last long after his departure."
«He presents wide curriculum builds on the success and for Temple University is grateful.» We wish him, his wife Kelly and her family all the best. »
The other finalists for the position were Connecticut coach Randy Edsall and former collaborator UM Marc Trestman, coach of the double champion title CFL Montreal Alouettes.
Texas Tech Tommy Tuberville and Kevin Sumlin of Houston were seen as also strongly.
If you can get to the temple, perhaps you can do this anywhere. We are going to discover.
Sources have confirmed the old Golden 41 years old, who was the defensive coordinator in 2001 in ' 05, Virginia had also been raised in the list of candidates for the vacant position in Pittsburgh, where Dave Wannstedt was just forced to resign after six seasons. A spokesman for Pitt refused in the Pittsburgh Tribune-review that the school was offered the position to anyone.
Met on two occasions Athletic Director, UM, Kirby Hocutt gold during the process, once in New York at the beginning of last week and once again, in Philadelphia, probably on Saturday.
"I couldn't be more excited he come and this program proud football" Holcutt told journalists South Florida. He did y person with more energy, emotions, of enthusiasm that coach gold. Done at Temple University is miraculous. He has been a program of football was bottom of the world of college football, has built a respectable program and will do great things here. »
Associated Press reported that gold is supposed to receive at least five-year agreement which can be almost $ 10 million.
Holcutt requested the possibility that gold could be interested in the use of Penn State when Joe Paterno steps.
"We discussed this and there is no doubt in my mind, it will be the head coach at the University of Miami in the long term,"Holcutt said."" The question and hear her response. Al Golden is very loyal. He wants to be at the University of Miami. He wanted to build this program at the height of college football. »
But inherited a program which went 0-11 in 2005 independent after being invited to leave the Big is one year earlier. Its first team went 1-11. Which was followed by seasons of 4 - 8, 5 - 7, 9-4 and 8-4. In 2009, he won the OWL in their Bowl first game in three decades. But he had never obtained their title from the Mid-American Conference game. In fact, he beat never a MAC team finished with a winning record. Team this year to win the Conference, but instead of it, finished third in the East Division. And, having lost its last two games, OWL was one of the two teams Bowl eligible who did not get an invitation.
Edited by Golden players temple were improved at the school level and participate more in service to the community.
It is a foundation which should serve as his successor.
It is the first football coach to leave temple on its own terms, given that Wayne Hardin, retired in 1982.
Now the question is whether the assistant head coach Mark D'Onofrio, who is also the defensive coordinator, IRA with gold or stay. It must remain, it would seem to make a fairly homogenous transition Bradshaw is indeed in this way. Onofrio and gold have tightened since their days playing College ã Penn State. But even gold acknowledged D'Onofrio has played a major role in this transformation, especially when it comes to recruitment. And it is time to shot to run a program.
Temple cannot give just D'Onofrio work. It must go through a process of research, but it might make him acting coach pending.
Ironically, Temple beat Connecticut 14 points in the House in September. But UConn liquidation win big East and will the Fiesta Bowl. And the fact that Edsall wanted to coach in the bowl game could harm his chances because Miami wanted to get someone in place as quickly as possible. However, would not comment on the situation at the price of his team Saturday banquet, pourrait benefited by the fact that his season was over.
