First and foremost, Happy Thanksgiving to all of you.


Moving on to my the main subject... We should have hired Kyle Whittingham after firing Randy Shannon.

• Coached under Urban Meyer 2003
• This man consistently develops his players.
• Has maintained a clean program for well over a decade.
• Recruits South Florida Kids.
• Win's his bowl games (11-2)
• Win's over 70% of his games (130–62)
• Has won his Division 3 times 2015, 2018, 2019
• Makes $4.2 Million per year and we could have gotten him at a bargain 10 years ago.

BTW, I don't care that he's a mormon and if you think he wouldnt come here.

Now this thread has to come with a rant...

The truth is... When you have a burning desire to win and it's genuine you do whatever it takes and not settle.
But let's be real... This administration and board of trustees doesn't truly care about winning.
This administration treat's you like a king when you donate big and blankets you with their narative.
But as soon as you question the narative and, or criticize the direction of the program they are quick to censor you and just ask you for more donations.
Unless your donating 7 figures, are a major sponsor, or a board member your just not important enough for them to weigh your perspective.
The expectations here are low and as long as you maintain bowl eligibility and beat 50% of your Rivals your good to go. This is the same board of trustees that will preach a false sense of hope and brag about beating sub par teams like Duke after the worst lost in school history.

A Mormon??.....In Dade??...Will the players be able to have 18 wives as Sophomores doe??

 

[We the Boss]

He’s an objectively great coach

You missed the part where I said IDGAF if he is a mormon. But it's okay, Happy Thanksgiving

A Mormon??.....In Dade??...Will the players be able to have 18 wives as Sophomores doe??

Yeah, he probably wouldn't come here anyway.

 

[BiltmoreCANE]

Pat on the back for you!......Now on to the real questions at hand. Is he coming here? Who from top to bottom is going to fix this mess?

 

[247 Canes]

Yeah, he probably wouldn't come here anyway.

lmao, yall trolling.. "When you have a true desire to win there's no reasonable number too high in the checkbook"

Manny Diaz is will remain the guy as much as I hate to break it to you guys.

 

[BiltmoreCANE]

Those were rhetorical questions.

Oh absolutely ribbing you. There's no shortage of good coaching potential out there, but we always shoot for the ones where 50% are already concerned about and turn out to be right.

Using the probably won't come here logic is no reason to not ask.

He’s an objectively great coach

Yup. A great coach who has been at Utah since 1994 as a position coach, before taking over as head coach in 2005 after Urban Meyer left.

This bone-brained mentality is one of a zillion things wrong with this fan base; a belief that if you want a guy or write him a check, that's it. He'll coming running.

Whittingham has had better offers over the years. Dude is happy living in Salt Lake City, where he has been for over 25 years now.

It's home, he's raising a family there and he has a great job at a perfect-fit school for him—similar to the reason Gary Patterson always turns down offers to leave TCU.

Miami is a niche job in an unforgiving pro sports town, with an off-campus stadium, a small student body, limited fan support (by way of small alum base)—and limited funding, as most fans aren't alum and don't write checks to the school.

There is no way in God's green earth, or Joseph Smith's magical-underwear-universe that Wittingham ever would've, or ever would leave the University of Utah for the University of Miami.

Great, you suggested something over a decade ago that always had a 0% chance of ever happening—as proven by the fact Whittingham is still at Utah.

Southern Cal has gone after him a few times—the crown jewel program from his home state—and he never budged .... but he would've come to train-wreck Miami in 2011 if UM's admin just went after him. Got it.

 

[mirvin88]

He's a fantastic coach just not a realistic option. You don't think he's been approached by schools over the years? He just fits in Utah and I can't picture him leaving.

 

[Torocane]

Great coach. Absolutely but there is no angle to get that guy here and there never was.
He is not chasing money so you are not getting him with a big offer. He is a Mormon coaching in Utah...he isn't moving.

 

[DemCanesByke]

Stop ****in around just hire urban meyer

 

[RightSaidFred]

LOL @ donating 7 figures.

The university discloses the amount of money it gets in gifts and donations each year. For the entire university, the amount is something like $200 million from non-government donors.

There is a small handful of individuals donating seven figures to the football program each year. The tomato guy, the Soffers, and maybe a few other high profile people.

The truth is that Blake James just sucks at fundraising.

 

[Lokest]

Seems like another Richt to me

 

[TheEye]

He won't come to Miami because our fans will want him fired by year 2 regardless of his record.

You always type up responses like the only person's opinion that matters is yours. I'll always welcome your comments and point of view but I'm letting you know that your delivery makes you sound arrogant. Btw, I don't mean to sound rude.

 

[canadianhurricane]

He has a perfect situation for him at Utah. They are more than happy to be in the top 25 occasionally. Why give that up to come to UM, where he'll be forced to deal with unqualified superiors ?

 

[MizCane]

****, I feel like he is slept on quite a bit. Would his Mormon religion keep him from a big city like Miami though?
