Discontent from Miami alumni and former players reached new heights during and after the Hurricanes’ worst loss in school history Saturday, and now some of those voices are applauding the Miami administration for firing head coach Al Golden on Sunday.
Golden, in his fifth season at Miami, was fired a day after the Hurricanes lost 58-0 at home to Clemson on Saturday.
At least four members of the Hurricanes’ last national championship team in 2001 commented on social media on athletic director Blake James’ decision.
Clinton Portis thanked Golden for guiding the Hurricanes through NCAA and self-imposed sanctions.
