MIAMI -- Al Golden insists he wanted to make a long-term commitment to Miami. The Hurricanes happily obliged.
Golden is now under contract with the Hurricanes through Feb. 1, 2020, the announcement coming Friday during a 24-17 loss to Boston College.
Four more years have been tacked onto the deal Golden signed with Miami this past spring -- a move the coach hopes is enough to end whatever speculation exists about him being potentially wooed elsewhere anytime soon.
"For the players and recruits, we've only said the same thing now for weeks," Golden said. "And again, whether or not anybody outside wanted to listen to what we were saying, our message never changed. And now it's officially not going to change."
The timing of the announcement was somewhat unusual -- the university released the news with about 12 minutes to go in the game.
Miami is not going to a bowl game because of an ongoing NCAA investigation into the athletic department and compliance practices, a probe born after a former booster said he provided 72 Hurricane players and recruits with extra benefits from 2002 through 2010.
