I know they are the worst D-IA football program there is (contrary to what some claim) and it is an accomplishment to get Temple to win any games and get any recruits to want to go there. To me, this just seems like a Turner Gill-like scenario. A new coach takes a really bad MAC team from the cellar to a handful of wins and suddenly they are saints. What's to say if Golden stayed at Temple next year and they went 1-11 again? "If you wanna crown him, then go ahead crown his @$$."


Maybe Phil Bennett should have left last year! :lol:

I would actually it's worse. He's only won 5 games as a head coach.


That is more than they won the last three years before he got there . . . combined.


That's still not very good. Especially for someone in consideration for the UCLA job. UCLA is a pretty big stage. They must not want to spend any money and as the saying goes, "you get what u pay for".

Yeah but Dorrell had more to work with when he got to UCLA. Temple football is a bigger joke than SMU football.


Is that possible?

I assume this is a movie quote and I assume you watch a TON of movies.

Dorrell had a ton to work with his first year!!! Like Matt Moore (who he benched and now starts for the Panthers), Maurice Jones-Drew, Marcedes Lewis......

Yes. However, very few programs have pulled off that amazing distinction.
