Al Golden is out as head coach of the Miami Hurricanes a day after surrendering the worst loss in program history to Clemson.
From The Associated Press:
Golden went 32-25 with the Hurricanes and 17-18 in Atlantic Coast Conference play, his entire stint marred by an NCAA investigation and subsequent fallout caused by things that happened before he arrived in Coral Gables. His last game with Miami was a 58-0 loss to then-No. 6 Clemson, a result that had fans booing from the stands and calling for his departure — as many had for some time.

"Coach Golden has led our program through some very difficult times and he has done so with class, integrity and a true desire to see our students succeed on the field, in the classroom and in the community," Miami athletic director Blake James said. "However, we have a proud tradition of excellence at Miami, not just in football but in all sports, and we want to compete for ACC and national championships.
"I simply believe that now is the time to bring the Hurricane Family together and rally behind our young men."
Da U plays Duke on Saturday. Larry Scott is the interim coach.
