10-26 The Work (Coaching Search)

Oct 26, 2015

The information I post here may or may not have already been posted on the boards or on my Twitter, but this is what I can confirm we know right now.

**Butch is still very unlikely. He is obviously interested, but the response has been an aggressive no when his name comes up. The residue from the UNC mess hurts him here. Crazy things happen in coaching searches, but I would be very surprised.

**Rob Chudzinski remains a name in the mix. After the Cincinnati loss, Chud's name began circulating once again. He is a realistic hire, but this is not the buzz hire Miami needs.

**Opinion on Mario Cristobal is mixed. Some believe that he has learned under Saban, but others seem cautious because of his reputation of being hard to get along with.

**SEC Coaches are expressing interest in this job. Mark Stoops and Kirby Smart are two notables that we are hearing have quietly thrown their names into the hat. Other SEC assistants will emerge as well.

**Marshall's Doc Holliday is a longshot, but word is he would be interested. His buyout is not considered a major issue and he is a tremendous recruiter. Think Canes want younger though.

Other than Butch, that list is awful.

Yes one of the worst lists imaginable. This is why they need to hire an elite AD and let THAT man pick the coach.

This is why we end up with trash b/c the BOT picks coaches based on politics and relationships, instead of coaching ability.

Good point. Nothing against James, but what has he ever done to think he can conduct a big time search?
On the other hand, maybe he's not really in control here.

An aggressive no? Well that's the most aggressive anybody's been at Miami in 5 years. Fugg these people. I think there's salmonella in the bag lettuce and the cruise ships are overrun with vermin and legionnaires disease. Butch is a no brainer and a 'ship is a lock, which is why they won't do it. Dopes.

Who are the BoT Butch naysayers? Their opinion needs to be changed.

They hire Mario or Chud. We f@cked and I'm done. I can't believe Mario is even in the mix. He sucks

don't know how i feel about the list. think it's funny that they still hold a grudge with butch for leaving but it's totally cool that cristobal stayed all of 41 days here before skipping town. also don't get that their worry with mario is him being "hard to get along with" instead of the fact that he's underqualified. **** our admin sucks at their jobs

Davis to Miami is a higher possibility then cristobal to Miami.

Why?
What has he done as a HC to say that?
Point to one thing he's done.

HOw about the fact that he is a ****ty coach?

We are doomed, its going to be a horrible hire.

Cristobal having even one supporter among our decision makers is baffling and terrifying. His coaching resume is disgraceful. He's not even worthy of being our OC, but there's mixed opinion about him being our next head coach after three straight program-crippling hires? Not to mention that he'd retain James Coley, which is a dealbreaker for any possible candidate.

I f***ing despise this administration.

And if they go that route, you can bet your *** they will overpay his under qualified a$$.

Pete does not mention Schiano. Hard to believe he is not in the mix.

Somebody please tell me why people think Mario has learned something while at Alabama that suddenly makes him a viable HC. What is it that he supposedly learned, and what makes them believe he learned it?

Anybody with a clue understands Cristobal has yet to perform his current job duties to any satisfactory level, so leave it to UM to consider rewarding him for his subpar effort at Alabama with a huge position and pay increase.
