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.

Pete, is it one guy or the majority of the decision makers that are against Butch?

The UNC thing is crazy if you look at the facts.

Butch has two issues against him. There are still hard feelings about his lying to the school, and the UNC fiasco is really bad. UNC may well get destroyed by the NCAA in the near future, and its nearly impossible to believe that he did not know and condone. There is a reason he hasnt even received an offer in years.

p.s. Dont shoot the messenger, I like Butch, just not getting my hopes up for something that is not going to happen.

You're not a messenger. You're a guy regurgitating the same **** every other dope has said about Davis. There's been 10 separate investigations, and Davis has been cleared in all 10.

Does Roy Williams still have a job? Yes? Then shut up about Butch, UNC and the NCAA.

That said, UM apparently had the money to do it and will have the money to offer its next coach upwards of $4 million a season, the donor said.

Butch Davis is interested in becoming UM's next coach, but is UM really interested in him? | Eye on the U

So let me get this straight - Miami finally recognizes it has to pony up the cash to obtain a quality coach, yet Chud and Mario are the guys that are "in the mix."

Fck that. It's been beaten to death, but there are a million different coaches that have the exact same resume Chud does. Just cause he played at UM doesn't make him a good coach. He had one disastrous year in Cleveland and his offense in Indy is struggling with a shltload of talent.

Completely underwhelming. And for as underwhelming as Chud is, Mario is that much worse.

Butch Davis and Tom Herman should be 1a and 1b, end of story.

That list doesn't have, what should be, the top 3 candidates.

I see no Hue Jackson
I see no Tom Herman
I see no Fuente
For the love of God I'd take Jim Tressel before some of the retreads on that list

If it's anyone on that list other than Butch **** is going to get ugly.

AG is gone 48, no 24, hours and you are ready to storm the gates with torches and fly banners. Butch has baggage whether you like it or not.

I vote give it some time and let it settle out. Listening to College Sports Radio on Sirius this afternoon there were all sorts of intriguing names. Also, of note, the commentator (Althos Radio) said AG tried many times to get out of Miami and was chasing an SEC job that he didnt get...fwiw

This is gonna be a fluid situation

We're petrified of the stupidity and incompetence that is the decision making of our administration.

This is officially hold your breath time. They're as likely to hire a Butch/Herman type as they are to randomly call up Joe Philbin and offer it to him without an interview.

Butch is the only answer on that list.... Mark Stoops is okay but FSU grew tired of his philosophy so im skeptical.
