06:37 AM ET 10.27 | It was supposed to be a relatively quiet bye week for the Miami Hurricanes. It's hardly been that. First, Luther Robinson's father took to the radio waves earlier this week (he said it was him) and called UM coach Al Golden a liar for saying he doesn't have enough talent on the defensive line. Then, Robinson Sr. wondered aloud if the Hurricanes' second-year coach had "something against [former coach] Randy Shannon's players," -- the excuse as to why his son and other Shannon recruits supposedly are not playing more. A couple days later, the drama continued. Defensive end Kelvin Cain -- one of Shannon's recruits -- was discovered to be off the Hurricanes roster (Surprise! Somehow Golden forgot to mention it during his 10 minute ACC teleconference). A UM spokesman later informed a few observant roster watchers that Cain's name had indeed been deleted on purpose because he "left the team."

If the older players on the U Team are acting entitled and not happy with the new coach, then why not invite them to leave?

The good news is, Shannon's recruits were so awful, the team can only improve with their departure.

The bad news is, unless the coordinators follow them out the door, we're still going to suck.

Golden is not systematically trying to get rid of Shannon's players, nor dies he discriminate against them. The article linked below shows that there are 28 Shannon guys and 28 Golden guys who are among the primary contributors on the team right now. Shannon's guys have the lead, with 18 "starters" vs. 10 for Golden's (including positions like P, K, and multiple starters at one position due to injury and stuff). This despite the fact that there are now more Golden guys on the roster than Shannon guys.
