Al Golden has been on the hot seat at Miami for what seems like two seasons now, and Saturday’s 58-0 home loss to ACC favorite Clemson was the final straw.
Miami announced that Golden has been “relieved of his duties” in a statement issued Sunday.
"University of Miami Director of Athletics Blake James announced today that he has relieved Head Football Coach Al Golden of his duties effective immediately," the team said. "Assistant coach Larry Scott will serve as the Interim Head Coach for the remainder of the 2015 season.
“Coach Golden has led our program through some very difficult times and he has done so with class, integrity and a true desire to see our students succeed on the field, in the classroom and in the community.
