`Canes All-Access: Golden Introduction Today at 6 p.m.

Dec. 13, 2010

CORAL GABLES, Fla. – The University of Miami will hold a press conference on Monday, Dec. 13 at 6 p.m. at the Newman Alumni Center to announce the hiring of Al Golden as its new head football coach.

HurricaneSports.com will have free live video of Golden’s formal introduction, as well as UStream coverage and a live chat where fans can interact directly with insiders.

In five seasons as the head coach at Temple, Golden took the Owls to unprecedented heights. Before his arrival, TU had just two winning seasons since 1980 and had only won 22 percent of its games over the previous 30 years.

After taking over the Owls, who went 0-11 the season prior to his arrival, Golden has led his team to a 17-6 record over their last 23 regular season games, including a 2010 defeat of BIG EAST champion and Fiesta Bowl participant Connecticut.

The 41-year-old Golden owns a 27-34 career record, which includes a 9-4 mark in 2009, and an 8-4 mark in 2010. He was able to lead the Owls to two winning seasons, which is exactly half of their total over the 26 years prior.

Golden is the 22nd head football coach in UM history.
