Al Golden Dismissed After Clemson Beatdown

After week 8, Clemson is the last remaining unbeaten team from the ACC. That's not all they're doing to help the ACC though. The Tigers beat Miami so bad, they finally gave into pressure and dismissed Head Coach Al Golden.

Admittedly, Al Golden seemed like a great hire back in 2011, after his Temple Owls had just collected a combined 17 wins in 2009 and 2010 under his leadership.

Poor six and seven win seasons in the first two years were overshadowed by probation and controversy that was not in any way his fault. Things improved somewhat in year three as the games won nine games, but were blown out in the Russell Athletic Bowl to the soon-to-be ACC Cardinals.
