I know he doesn't get a lot of love on this site but hands down he is the best recruiter and developer of talent that this staph has. Don't believe it look at his resume over the last couple of years and players getting drafted. And when they get in the league they produce!

That is a tough call. Maybe more than anyone ever, Kehoe is Miami football.

As a position coach his history is that he attracts a certain type of player and he seems to love a project. In my opinion, he often gets very high production out of guys and I like his "versatility" approach (training OL at multiple positions), but not everyone shares that view. There is little doubt that he has a pretty distinguished track record, but I don't particularly laud him as a recruiter (again, I think he resonates with certain guys; he is not a general rock star recruiter) and there certainly have been bumps in the road allegedly caused by his view of his role on the staff, although that does not seem to be an issue since Golden brought him back.
 
Art is a more than adequate coach providing the man at the top is good. He built his rep under Johnson/Erickson and Davis. If Al delivers he will flourish.
 
He's the best position coach but not the best recruiter on the staff.

I agree.. he is a good recruiter... I think the best recruiter on the staff is Hurlie Brown.... Coach Coley is a close second... I think Coach Beard will eventually get that honor though
 
I actually think Kevin Beard might have more of an impact.
But i think we can all agree Kehoe, Beard, hurlie are the coaches that should be kept. Probably Ice too.
 
Our first 1st round pick in years was his recruit and player(granted Flowers was all Cane from the get go and wanted to play with his boy). Given the fact that he has put so many players in NFL over so long a time period and has EVERY NC ring, it hard to imagine a more valuable assistant coach for THE U.

Art get s solid A- from me. Only reason I cant give him an A+ is because I really fee like he passed on some guys that we could have really used. (Terry, the OL kid from STA..etc...Both are starting for their respective teams. And of course Kirkland)...Now I don't know if this was his fault or not. But its his bed so hes gotta lay in it.

But you cant deny what he has done during his watch. Just look at the list of kids who will be in the league that he coached up or recruited...Linder, Henderson, Flowers, Feliciano and Darling and KC if they stay on track will be high round picks. NLinder too. That is an impressive resume. And not to mention he has been recruiting really well as of late.
