    so what you are saying is that we should just start players because of their reputation and not their hard work or effort.

    Got it.

    Stars did not work for randy Shannon. Hard work should have.

    @ smadison....whatever your name is.....how about you ask washington......the dude was a premiere guard....and move him why? And then say oh hes battling for tje LT or RT position??? If that makes sense to you...then it explains to me you dont know very much about football...when kids come to play football at a University....its just not all about the University...its the kids future you have to consider also....golden didnt take that kid future into.consideration period! Put your son or family member in that situation and tell me if you would say.the same thing???? Alot of yall dont like when a person give they opinion and thats fine...i call.yall birds...im an eagle! Until this coaching staff prove that what they are doing and it win championships....ima keep an open and evaluate them! Dont like vamoos....dont read my post.....the only thing hes proven to me is hes a hardworker, loyal, and decent recruiter! The truth is most the kids come here because.its a Great school and tradition.....i guarantee you.he wasnt pulling in he tracey howards and duke johnsons when.he was at Temple....either he win this year or leave! Or fire coach D if he dont improve period..and if u dont want the same thing...then you need to.do a reality.check!

    I agree with you , Washington was a top 10 guard amongst his junior peers in 2011. Everything I stated was fact not opinion so I don't understand how your comprehension of that alludes to me not know much about football? Washington had a choice, he didn't have to play LT or he could have sulked which probably would have lead to him being suspended/transferring out. If Golden didn't open up a fall competition for the tackle positions we would've been in trouble. Do you think Jacory would've had as good a year as he did with Figueroa or freshman Bunche at LT? Jacory wouldn't have lasted two games. The team is more important than one individual. Orlando Franklin did it the year before going from LG to LT & is now a top 5 RT in the pros (according to ProFootball Focus). Colin McCarthy, Sean Spence, & Denzel Perryman all moved from OLB to ILB for the good of the team. Tim Tebow returned to Florida to become an NFL QB, Urban gave it a whirl but when Tebow didn't develop like he needed to Urban reverted the offense back for the good of the team. College & pro teams do it all the time, here's a sample:

    Braden Albert, Virginia - LG in college/LT in pros
    Jason Peters, Arkansas - TE in college/LT in pros
    Von Miller, Texas A&M - WDE in college/SLB in pros
    Jarius Byrd, Oregon - CB in college/FS in pros
    Mathias Kiwanuka, Boston College - WDE in college/SLB in pros
    Jared Odrick, Penn St - DT in college/SDE in pros
    Kelechi Osemele, Iowa St - LT in college/LG in pros
    Hines Ward, Georgia - QB in college/WR in pros
    Michael Robinson, Penn St - QB in college/FB in pros
    Brian Urlacher, New Mexico - SS in college/ILB in pros
    Henry Melton, Texas - FB in college/DT in pros
    Tyron Smith, USC - RT in college/LT in pros
    Malcolm Jenkins, Ohio St - CB in college/FS in pros

    Just from The U:
    Eric Winston - LT in college (started as a TE)/RT in pros
    Antrell Rolle - CB in college/FS in pros
    Devin Hester - CB in college/WR in pros
    Brandon Meriweather - CB in college/FS in pros
    Sam Shields - WR, 1 year at CB in college/CB in pros
    DJ Williams - started as a RB ended up at SLB
    Willis McGahee - started as a FB ended up at RB

    The only person to blame for Brandon Washington's career thus far is Brandon Washington, not Golden. It's all about getting your shot & Brandon had his & still has a chance. Regardless of if where he was drafted, though he was a 6th rounder, he was on a team with the worst offensive line in football & couldn't cut it. Now he's on the Rams with an even more depressing situation at guard. We'll see if he works hard to achieve something in the NFL or just goes down as another failure of the Northwestern eight (save for Spence).

    Thus far I agree with you about Golden.being a hardworker, loyal, and decent recruiter but he needs to develop players. Only time will tell as this is only the start of his third season.

  • 713cane it is you who does not know anything about football.... players switch positions all the time, some requested by coaches, some requested by players.

    Golden is making the best decisions for HIS team that he is paid to make better.

    It is pretty simple...it is Al team....that is what you fail to realize.... Mel Kiper isn't the HC for Miami or any other NFL scout/analyst....if Al feels Washington betters the team at tackle so be it... same for Crawford... drafted and played in the nfl my ass.... if you did the you would understand the dynamics of what is taking place...

    hmmm,
    scenario 1. wasn't a Hurricane
    scenario 2. can't remember when he was actually selected
    scenario 3. i got lost in the long list of Hurricanes that played in the NFL
    scenario 4. the data linked is incorrect

    me,.. i'm banking on #5, followed by #1. its also entirely possible that its #3 also but to my defense i only skimmed through it. either way its impressive to look down the list of Miami success!
