He was more interested in staying in the NFL.

Various conversations were held with Dorsey, Chud (consultant), Brady, Gattis, Candle, and Briles. That does not mean every conversation lasted as long or went as far. Nor did most of those guys fly to Miami for a formal interview. People can complain about Mario's coaching-search methods...

Why do you say that? Candle was absolutely AN OPTION, it just never got to FORMAL OFFER stage because he wanted personnel control for the O-side and Mario had some other guys in mind. I'm not sure why porsters turn these things into all-or-nothing types of analysis. Clearly we talked to...

Yeah, we got sooooo lucky that it turned out exactly as you describe it... Some mo-fos on this board just act like any random media report is immediately more true and reliable than things that the insiders talk about.

The Toledo beat writers got their information on Candle the same way the Albuquerque beat writers got their information on Eddie Nunez...

Actually, the Gaytor boards are blaming it all on AR-15, not Sunbelt Billy.

What games did you watch? First, Erickson inherited JJ's OLs and DLs. He didn't run out and change all the players from physical to finesse. Certainly, Erickson's line play in 1994 was a lot different from 1989, but let's not pretend like there was no physicality in 89, 90, 91. Second, sure...

Same basic area of Orlando, I went to Teague Middle/Lake Brantley High. One of my brothers has a house on the Wekiva River up in Sanford, and my mom still lives in Altamonte. Another brother lives over in Winter Springs.

For 50 years (except for my time at UM). Just moved to ATL, though. Will be back. Family. Mom just had surgery, so I'll be down to visit.

Trust him on Stasio's. Also, Stasio's and Pig Floyd's (BBQ) are about to open a joint restaurant called Pigzza on Mills Avenue, which will combine smoked and barbecued meats and pizza.

:100:

I am not joking, I've actually tried this on pasta (not gnocchi)...do the brown butter/sage saute AND THEN do the marinara/alfredo...

@SWFLHurricane TRAINED CHEFS! The man is legit! The man is legendary, he knows every major restaurateur in Orlando! Only man who knows nearly as many Orlando restaurant owners/managers is @24/7canes , and that's because he's worked in the SIN/strip-club industry...

And I'm not mad at you, I'm just tired and frustrated, and especially mad at the idiot fan in front of me. And still trying to pass three days of brisket overload. I joke, I keed, three days of brisket overload is first world problems. It was awesome. But I did wake up VERY early Sunday...

Oh good lord, you know what I mean. "Take a knee" is a general description of giving up, not just a literal description of an action. The point is, we took a TO at 53 seconds AFTER A FIRST DOWN, and then aTm had an incompletion on first down and they took a TO on second down with 43 seconds...

I pretty much agree with you, the only "celebrated" signing of Coker's that was "advertised" as having some sort of Coker impact was when he rolled up in the Escalade to pick up WW, though I'm sure you have inside info that WW signed with Miami for some completely different reason. I'm talking...

How dare you minimize Miami's ground-breaking and innovative "move the RB to the other side" shift that happened on about 90% of our "look at me" plays when TVD looked to the sidelines...

Only short side run I've ever really been a fan of is back in your era, when Butch would set up that short-side sweep with Edge or James Jackson. But we would motherfvggin' SEAL OFF the perimeter, so that once our RB turned upfield, he had about 20 yards of open grass to run through. Good...

Whatever it is, "RPO" is a commonly used (misused?) term to cover that kind of on-the-spot decision in the mesh point. I'm no OC, so if I've misused the terminology, apologies to all the coaches on the board. Point being, whatever happens in that spot, even if it's triple option zone read...

I think Clappy tried to follow it for a few years, but as we lost Butch staffers and replaced them with pale imitations, we really fell down. I realize there were some issues, and I won't drop names, but I believe that we had some Coker coaches start to get lazy with recruiting during the "rise...
