Rumor Special Teams Coach - Marwan Maalouf

[CANEFAN83]

So Miami will finally have great ST's for first time in a couple decades.

 

[TooColdToHold]

Supposedly there is some loop hole where he can be off field and still coach ST on gameday

There must be. When we played Bama it looked like their staff in Atlanta was twice the size of ours.

 

[gatorsSUCK!]

Will go great with influx of talent Mario and Co. brings in.

That black and white picture of D’Onofrio has me so **** triggered. I’m not proud, but my wife was just subjected to 15 minutes of complaining about that dude (“wait so they had fast guys and made them fat and slow on purpose…why would they do that?”) and by the end wasn’t even pretending to be interested.

That being said, as a jersey guy and ‘03 HS grad whose high school was on Rutgers’ campus, that was a fun blast from the past. A few really decent coaches on an early-ish Schiano staff.

Randy Melvin is pictured also. He was our DL coach under Golden after Uncle Jethro moved on. Also Purdues previous HC Hazell is the WR coach. He was really bad

As an off the field analyst I love the hire….

That’s what this is… he’s not coaching for my Dallas cowboys or even for my Miami hurricanes on the field… dude is here for a modest salary while working “part time” in coaching world terms and gets to live in South Florida while he figures out his next move… but hey haters gonna hate

I understand that. But there’s this weird narrative that he wasn’t bad in Minnesota. His unit was terrible. But hiring him as an off field role is a slam dunk. Both statements can be true.

 

[aelmiami]

He’s an off field analyst though. He’s coaching in the ACC now and not the NFL. It’s a win win.

It is. But he was bad in Minnesota. Bringing in a NFL mindset is huge. I’m glad he’s not running the show though.

 

[aelmiami]

He isn't a great ST coach and I would have been upset if this guy took up an on the field spot. But as an off field guy, I think its a pretty good hire.

I do too. Bringing in pro coaches helps create a more professional culture.

Lol people are acting like we poached him from the NFL. According to his wiki he has been unemployed for a couple years now.

You off your meds again?

 

[OriginalGatorHater]

Are you saying he was not unemployed for the past couple of years, AustinCane?

 

[Noliaboi]

There's a difference between NFL special teams and NCAA? Lol

Yeah um, difficulty level.

That's him in 2020.

Yes, and if we hired him in 2020 that would be considered poaching. You can't poach an unemployed person(unless they have a clause etc.).

 

[htownkidd]

? His contract was not renewed after the 20 season. So he has been out of work for one year, which was the the 21 season, not two.

Well you said "unemployed for a couple years now".

I think if someone is saying "poaching" from the NFL they're more just referencing that the guy was seemingly a career NFL coach as he had just spent 15 years in the pros.

Probably more linguistic semantics than anything if you're actually looking for a debate but I'm personally not.

 

[KrazyCane]

First meh hire

Lol former NFL coach hired in an off Field role with seems like 50 other off field coaches?? This is just more cherries on top of an already GOAT level coaching staff.

 

[aelmiami]

Needless to say this is a good hire. You don’t spend 15 years in the NFL if you are an absolute bum. Also speaks to the respect Mario commands. This guy is willing to go off field in college to rebuild his reputation. Maalouf was *** in Minnesota but he’s going to improve our ST’s.

 

[Tracy724]

Can’t hurt.

Gator fan mad lol.

Every single thread, it's the exact same. We get it, you think Mario is terrible, every hire is bad, and every player Miami adds is awful. Is there a reason you have to blow up every thread it though?
