With the exception of Richt, those coaches that you mentioned are winning consistently and have bags. That easily makes one a "Miami swagger guy" more than anything.
Randy Shannon is FROM MIAMI, played at The U yet still had sour relationships with local high school coaches. You can't get more "Miami guy" than that and he still failed in recruiting.
How many conference championships did Jimmy Johnson win in the Big 8 before coming to Miami? What about Dennis Erickson in the pac-10? I think Leach would have probably killed it here offensively. ****, couldn't be any worse than Richt.
