If Saturday was Al Golden’s last game as Miami’s head coach, he went out with a bang.
Miami’s 58-0 loss to Clemson was its worst ever and a deluge of sadness
This might be the lowest Miami can go.

The Hurricanes got absolutely whooped, 58-0 by No. 6 Clemson. It was the biggest loss in Miami’s 90-year football history, breaking a record set in 1944 when the Canes lost to Texas A&M, 70-14.
The saddest play came with Miami down 35-0, trying to get something -- ANYTHING -- before halftime. Instead, backup quarterback Malik Rosier threw a pick-six, and then it was 42-0.
At one point, Miami gave up a sack against a two-man pass rush.
On one play, Miami had a first down and ran backwards until it didn’t have a first down anymore.
Dabo Swinney was mad about his team’s sportsmanship despite the 42-0 halftime lead:

Of course, there was a plane flying a FIRE AL GOLDEN banner ...

Uncle Luke was perhaps the saddest.
This is bad real bad it don't get know lower than this.
— LUTHER R CAMPBELL (@unclelukereal1) October 24, 2015 Miami fans got into a fight in the stands! Everybody was much more interested in that than the game.

— Sefton Ipock (@SeftonIpock) October 24, 2015 Sometimes Miami football attendance gets a bad rap because of the stadium it plays in. Even if 50,000 people show up, Sun Life Stadium still looks pretty empty. But it was BAAAAAAAAAAAD as Clemson racked up the points.
There MAYBE 3 thousand people in the stands right now at halftime. MAYBE.

This is so embarrassing...
