If Schiano doesn't come with Butch, who would he bring in as DC? This Defense needs a Ray Lewis transfusion in the worst way.

Classic Post, man! Phuccin classic.
 
If Folder gets fired and Blake has autonomy to hire whomever he wants, he would be a fool to not bring back Butch. It's a no brainer feel good story that's going to bring all of the national spotlight back to the program, instantly sell out season tickets and make him look like the smartest man in the room without doing any work.

Don't know if Dorsey is ready yet but you've got Kliff Kingsbury already doing big things so maybe we give him a shot
 
Butch could retain Kehoe, Brown, Beard and Scott and Ice Harris. DL - Kevn Patrick, Brown to DB coach, Dorsey as OC and QB coach, no idea on potential DC and LB coach.

For the first time, someone close to the program mentioned Butch Davis in a more definitive way. I had been told by people close to the program - boosters and the like - various things over the past year and a half. Today, I heard there have been actual talks of this being a real option for Miami. I was surprised it was said in the manner it was expressed because I had also heard some negative stuff in the past.

Have at it...





Disclaimer: As most of you know, I'm here to talk football. D$'s the guy with the great connections. I don't consider myself anything close to an insider and basically just know a handful of people close to the program. I'm not on here trying to get Butch hired. I don't have enough information right now to really give a meaningful opinion on the coaching search alternatives.

This is what I have been waiting for. They would be complete and total fools not to seriously consider him.
Now if it will just grow some more legs. Thanks Lu.

This! Exactly! It's the biggest no brainer in the history of UM. Immediate path to redemption for The Flakster.

Well, that wouldn't make much since to place Kevin as a DL and Dorsey as OC when Kevin has more experience coaching than Ken. Kevin is ready to be a DC, he has that it factor and he's been doing it for a while. I would go with Lamar Thomas over Beard simply because Beard has only 1 year of experience at college level and never played pro ball, Thomas has a better resume, and pro experience. We cannot have highs school coaches all over the field coaching and expect results.

Herman is a great coach. But if Butch is in play you have to hire him.

I think Herman will be great and go on to be a big time coach, but I KNOW Butch is great. He was the mastermind behind the greatest roster ever assembled. His ambition ultimately won out and he didn't get to enjoy the spoils from 2001-2003, but hes a no-brainer.

And when he hires Schiano the only thing we're gonna be two-gappiing is other team's b-holes and pwussies.

No to Art Keyblow. He has SUCKED since his 2001 line. No push, no ability to just dominate in short yardage.

do you guys have any idea what Butch would do to this program? please UM don't **** this up.
 
Blake James was working for UM the entire time Butch was coach.. I'm sure they have some kind of relationship. I'd say Flake is all for it if he wants to save his job.

Flake is probably so scared of an Alpha Dog like Butch. Then again his wife is an alpha male too.
