Al Golden fired from Miami after school's worst loss; Mike London remains employed

Following the school's worst-ever loss, a 58-0 thumping to No. 3 Clemson, the Miami Hurricanes have fired head coach Al Golden. During the course of his career as head coach of Miami, dating back to the 2011 season, Golden amassed a 32-25 overall and 17-18 ACC record.

During this tenure, Golden, a former Defensive Coordinator at Virginia from 2001-2005 under Al Groh, went 1-3 against Virginia under Mike London, who overlapped at Virginia with Golden from 2001-2004 as the DL coach.

While leading Miami, Golden went 0-5 against in-state rivals Florida State, a program who has thrived during the same time as Miami's struggles.
