UM fires coach Al Golden day after 58-0 debacle

When he was hired, the hope was that Al Golden could get Miami’s football program back on track.

Four and a half seasons and several embarrassing losses later, that hasn’t proven to be the case and now, once again, the Hurricanes will again be looking for a new coach after Golden was fired Sunday evening.

In a release issued by the school, Miami announced it has named tight ends coach Larry Scott the interim coach, effective immediately.

Golden, who previously coached at Temple, had a 32-25 career record with Miami, which is now looking to hire its fourth head coach since 2001, the year in which the Hurricanes last won a national title.
