Haha, pretty clever!

QuoteAt least one Miami fan wants Al Golden removed as head coach so much so he is willing to pay for banners to be flown over the stadium before the Hurricanes' games. One Florida State fan want the exact opposite, and will combat the Miami fan's banners with one of his own if he can get the help.

Joseph Johnson, presumably a Seminoles fan, started a gofundme page to help pay for a plane to fly a banner over Florida State's stadium when Miami travels to Tallahassee on Oct. 10. Johnson's banner will ask Miami administration to keep Golden at the school. Golden is 0-4 against Florida State.

"Al Golden has done a terrific job in keeping Miami irrelevant, Cane fans want him gone," Johnson wrote on the donation page. "However in Tallahassee we love Coach Golden, that's why we want to show our love in 3 weeks when the canes come to Tallahassee, with a banner that will fly over the stadium...for an hour.

Johnson wrote the banner is to "encourage Miami not to fire Coach Golden."

Before Miami's overtime win against Nebraska on Saturday, a game in which Miami blew a 23-point lead, a banner above Sun Life Stadium read "C'MON, #FIREALGOLDEN THESE BANNERS ARE EXPENSIVE." Before Miami's Week 2 game at FAU, a banner promoted the idea of Butch Davis returning as the Hurricanes' coach in 2016 in order to "make Miami great again."

Count me in as a longtime UM fan that's ready to see Golden pack his bags. When a guy actually representing the U publicly claims it's difficult to play in a "hostile" FAU stadium, it's time to go.

On top of that, the playcalling and time management debacle that paved the way for Nebraska to get back in that game was horrible. Who repeatedly snaps the ball with 17 seconds left on the play clock and continues to throw, when their up 23 in the 4th with a RB averaging 7 yards a carry? Tufsu1 needs to take Mr. Golden back up to Temple with him.

You'd be better to donate to the school.  They can't afford the buyout...or new facilities...or better assistants...

They can. Football is just not a top priority at UM, so they won't spend big bucks on a big name coach. UM is all about academics these days. But the advantage they do have is being in South Florida. Golden is just a loser who can't take advantage of the area's fertile recruiting grounds. IMO, it's time to bring back Butch!

It speaks volumes that Temple has gotten better by letting Golden walk!

Temple is better because of Golden....the Owls took a small step back with the hiring of Addazio (who helped ruin the Gators)...but thankfully he left for BC and we brought Matt Rhule (originally hired by Golden) back into the nest.

One of many unsung internet heroes who are almost entirely misunderstood. Contrary to popular belief, many trolls are actually quite intelligent. Their habitual attacks on forums is usually a result of their awareness of the pretentiousness and excessive self-importance of many forum enthusiasts.
