The University of Miami fired football Head Coach Al Golden on Sunday, one day after Clemson handed the Hurricanes a 58-0 shellacking that was the worst in the school’s history. Assistant Coach Larry Scott will take over as the interim head coach for the rest of the season. He has served as the tight end coach and run game coordinator for the last three years.
“Obviously [this is]a tough day for me and the situation as an athletic director that you never want to have to deal with, but one that’s a reality,” said Miami athletics director Blake James in a teleconference call Sunday night.
