Assuming we knew Golden was a chump

If Peterson only wanted to stay in the Northwest, then why did he interview for the job?

I've never heard that he did.

Now Gary Patterson interviewed in 2006, but not 2011.

Wasn't Mullen a candidate back then as well? I'd say him.

He might've been the best choice.

Honestly, out of that list of coaches provided in the link, I believe Kevin Wilson would have been the best hire. IU's offense is as good as anywhere in the country. Especially considering they have no program tradition at all so to speak.

Miami wasn't hiring another coordinator. Wilson was Oklahoma's OC. It wasn't happening.

Miami Hurricanes head coaching "candidates" – ItsAUThing.com ? Formerly allCanesBlog.com ? It's All About 'The U'!

Tom Herman

He was the Iowa State OC back then. You can only use knowledge you had at the time.

Relax, guy. Sarcasm.

Sack up and hire butch.

This never gets old for you does it? Whatever happens, the answer is Butch! Butch will get your wife to have *** with you again! Butch will restore your receding hairline! Butch will make you forget that you're stuck in middle management until you get fired!

butch will put together ungodly amounts of talent, have a NASTY defense, and not be afraid to try and win games. Butch is not going to go to notre dame and run it up the gut 3 times in the opening series, when running it up the gut has been an utter failure when playing any team with a pulse.

Because Butch was known for offensive creativity?

butch might put together ungodly amounts of talent, could possibly have a NASTY defense, and might not be afraid to try and win games. Butch is not going to go to notre dame and run it up the gut 3 times in the opening series, when running it up the gut has been an utter failure when playing any team with a pulse, unless maybe he does.

Because, as it turns out, nobody has any idea what butch might do or how he would perform at Miami 16 years after he last coached there. I could make lofty claims about what Bear Bryant's corps could do at Miami, but the truth is that Bear Bryant's corps hasn't coached at Miami in 2016.

Gus Malzahn was the guy I really wanted. But the mantra was - "we need a coach with head coaching experience" - so hot name, innovative coordinators weren't even considered.

Missed opportunity
