Does Al Golden deserve blame for Miami's penalties?
Penalties are always a popular topic with teams that aren’t playing well, and so Miami’s 7.8 accepted penalties per game, which ranks them 105th in the country, is an easy thing to hold against embattled coach Al Golden.
Golden addressed the topic following the Virginia Tech win, and as CoachingSearch.com notes, he put a good bit of the onus on the players.
From CoachingSearch.com:
“If it shows up in practice, you can eliminate some of the gymnastics, whether it’s a pre-snap thing or whatever is wrong, we can tie it down and eliminate it,” Golden said. “But it’s not really showing up.”
