I agree with the premise of us needing an offensive minded HC, in today’s era of college football everything rests upon having a high powered offense that can score at will & have the capacity to drive the length of the field late in the 4th quarter while trailing. I think it’s imperative that we have a team that is never worried about getting down by 2 TD’s or more because they have a system in place that can come back while scoring rapidly.
The only way you’re going to field an elite Defense in today’s game is if you go the Georgia route & recruit like 50+ 5-stars on your roster, which takes about 3-4 years before it will actually come to fruition & you have to have an Admin that really really cares about Football allocating unlimited funds to the program with a sky high recruiting budget, or in other words a near impossible task to complete at Miami (because it’s not 00-01 anymore).
The fastest way for us to return back to prominence is through fast paced offense & great QB play...
You find a HC who understands how to develop QB’s & build an offense, recruit speed & develop/integrate big time playmakers at the skill positions, refashion the run game & OL to be more scheme specific & supplement the transitional gap from old regime to new regime with portal players who are plug & play.
I think
@Canezum5 is in the right mind frame in terms of what we need, I’m not a Chip Kelly guy but I think an outsider who isn’t just another rah rah run of the mill former Cane trying to recreate the past is exactly what we need. We need an offensive X’s & O’s tactician who specializes in detail oriented scheme & situational football. Too much premium gets placed on personality & swagger when it comes to potential Miami coaches but when you really look at what has plagued this team it’s the lack of attention to detail & just downright absence of situational awareness that kills this team every Saturday. We got a roster full of talented football players & that don’t really know how to play football, just a bunch of undisciplined athletes who are mistake prone & consistently underperform when it matters most.
I think guys like Lane Kiffin, Hugh Freeze, Jeff Traylor, Jay Norvell would all be great fits here, guys who are offensive architects whose main focus is execution & not just winning press conferences with meaningless bluster.
