Temple Football Forever 
It is not that Coach Golden isn’t interested in moving on, it is that he won’t and shouldn’t go to Syracuse. I love Coach Golden, and he has been a tremendous assest to TU, however , we all know he won’t be here for long. My hope is that he stays for two more years. I also hope he goes to PSU,because that is where I go, but I think he is too far down the list. He really wants the PSU job. I was disappointed but didn’t fault him for looking at U.C.L.A. You are in the profession that you choose to provide for your family. The coaching profession can be a cruel one, but it also rewards success. If you have the ability because of your success to move into a higher paying gig, why would you fault him? We all know TU will never go all in for football, and probably shouldn’t. What they should do is groom and also be looking for the next TU coach so they don’t miss a beat when it happens. It will happen!!! I am a huge fan of Coach Golden,Temple and PSU. I would love to see TU win the MAC and get to a bowl game. I am a believer!
well-said, big
I am a Temple U fan and not sure if it’s possible to be a PSU fan at the same time. Also, if Golden can win a National Championship and consistently fill the Linc, as stated in the mythical quote, there wouldn’t be a hugher profile job to go after. What could he possibly do anywhere else that would even compete with that. Not saying he can do that, but if he could you think Temple U wouldn’t give him any amount of money that he wanted.
If Al Golden could, say, put Temple in a Ball State-like spot next year where the Owls go 12-0 … there is NO DOUBT in my mind the crowds in 2010 would be astronomical (it takes time to build a following but there is a higher fan ceiling for TU fans, stunned TU fans giddy over a big-time winner, than anything Ball State has).If Temple could draw 35-40K on a consistent basis, the administration would then have plenty of football options, most notably the Big East.If TU continues to struggle along at 4-8 and 5-7 there’s not much of a future of any kind.That’s why I think it’s important to get mobile, savvy quarterbacks in here by the end of the month.We don’t have time to mess around and even if Vaughn Charlton and Chester Stewart develop, there’s no depth behind them.
