The Miami Hurricanes opted to make a dramatic midseason move Sunday after an embarrassing 58-0 loss to Clemson, firing head coach Al Golden.
Golden, who arrived in Coral Gables from Temple University in 2010, finished above .500 twice in four full seasons with the school. He lost more matchups than he won against ACC opponents, capped off by Saturday's devastating defeat.
Miami Director of Athletics Blake James released a public statement shortly after the decision to name assistant Larry Scott interim head coach.
"We have a proud tradition of excellence at Miami, not just in football but in all sports, and we want to compete for ACC and national championships," James said.
