I'd rather have Don Shula, drooling and pooping in his diaper is an upgrade over his son
 
Report: Mike Shula not interested in University of Miami job

Don Shula would like to see his son Mike’s team force his former players to keep the cork in their champagne bottles this year and Mike Shula reportedly doesn’t have any interest in parleying the Panthers’ success into a college job in the city where his father once went undefeated.

Shula, who is the Panthers’ offensive coordinator, has had his name come up in conjunction with the head coaching vacancy at the University of Miami, but Barry Jackson of the Miami Herald reports that Shula will not pursue the position. Per Jackson, Shula wants to remain in the NFL.

The younger Shula went 26-23 in four years as the head coach at Alabama before being fired and replaced by Nick Saban. He moved back to the NFL as the quarterbacks coach in Jacksonville and Carolina before becoming the Panthers offensive coordinator in 2013.

Former NFL head coaches Greg Schiano and Butch Davis and current Colts offensive coordinator Rob Chudzinski all have ties to Miami and have also had their names come up as potential candidates since the school fired Al Golden last month.

He is the OC of an undefeated team who has a legit chance to get to the Super Bowl. He isn't leaving in December
 
I am almost getting to the point of letting these BOT members pick their guy, RUIN the program for good, and freeing me to root for a college football program that cares about it's fans, like FSU or Florida (at one time in my life, I was a fan of both teams growing up 45 years ago). Because if they ***** this hire, most of the long time Miami fans will be GONE for GOOD. Go ahead Blake and the BOT ignore us at your peril.

But do we know who this Josh Alper is. New name to me. For all we know, he could be a disinformation specialist sent over by the Kremlin or MI-7. Without some background on Alper, this information is suspect.

Prominent Miami booster wants Mike Shula as next coach

Insiders tell GN that one powerful Miami booster is backing Mike Shula, currently the Carolina Panthers’ offensive coordinator, to fill the Hurricanes’ coaching vacancy.

Insiders say Paul DiMare, who donated $12.5 million to the school last year and whose son, Gino, is the baseball program’s head-coach-in-waiting, is thought to favor Shula, a Miami native, to fill the vacancy left by Al Golden’s firing.

Shula, 50, went to Miami’s Christopher Columbus High — a Catholic boys school that is a perennial football power — before playing at Alabama. His dad, of course, is Don Shula, the former longtime coach of the Miami Dolphins and still the most revered sports figure in south Florida. The Miami Herald reported Tuesday that Mike Shula “has conveyed to friends that he wants to remain in the NFL and won’t pursue the UM job.”

Coincidentally, Mario Cristobal — considered perhaps the frontrunner for the UM job — also is a Columbus grad. Cristobal, 45, currently is Alabama’s offensive line coach.

Gino DiMare is a former UM baseball star who was at the school at the same time as Cristobal. DiMare is a graduate of Miami’s Westminster Christian High School.

The Herald reported that Paul DiMare was involved in the interview process when UM hired Al Golden. The Herald said Stuart Miller, the chairman of the school’s board of trustees and a wealthy businessman, also seems likely to be involved in the interview process this time around. Paul DiMare is in the Florida Agricultural Hall of Fame, and his company is the largest grower of fresh-market tomatoes in the United States.

So Paul thinks he needs to pretend he tried to get other people but only Butch would take the job? That make sense, if a fire HC nobody remembers, turns it down, it is good evidence no one else will take it. Otherwise, I have a nephew who played at Columbus too. Maybe he can turn it down -- whatever helps get Butch in here.

You're missing the mark a bit on this process. 1.) Fly banners with DiMare in mind, not Blake the Fake 2.) At this juncture only one banner shall be applicable:

MAKE MIAMI GREAT AGAIN -- BUTCH DAVIS 2015

This specific Banner keeps the pressure on the BoT and these money boosters that fans want to return Miami to its legacy of Greatness. Nothing LESS!

Nobody No media can fault fans for wanting such.

This banner may very well serve to keep away the usual suspects/coaches that would want to come to UM, but want another long crack to turn it around and re-build it long term. The banner also makes it clear that the return to greatness is associated with Butch Davis.

Finally, these knuckle head millionaires don't know how to pick a coach as they are NOT Directors of Athletics, but merely acting as de facto ADs.

When they needed the male basketball coach, Frank Martin was the local well known successful coach that wanted to come to the U. They wanted him, and by then they hurried and hired an AD to consider Coach Martin. Another accomplished coach sent in his Wikipedia page, and they junked Coach Martin, and went with the guy with wiki page.

They don't even know how to pick an AD when they hired what turned out to be a dude that never wanted to be here, when the media coined him as the "invisible AD" Shawn Eichorst. He wanted nothing to do with Miami except to use the U as a launching pad to boost his resume and get the AD he coveted.


Even still, this time they are hiring a Football coach with no AD, and thus the crazy process with all of the disinformation, and leaks of going after everyone from James Franklin, Charlie Strong, Chip Kelly, Mike Shula. As a matter of fact, all of these 4 coaches have had to say that they are fine where they are in the middle of a season, with none blowing Miami off, yet.

Swing WILD for the fence for whatever big name -- Mike SHULA royalty, big name Chip Kelly, Big name Charlie Strong (big name as far as they are concerned), big name NFL Coach Chuck Pagano, NFL Bill O'Brien -- may take you up on a convo to coach Miami and see what idea you could steal from them, even if they won't accept your overtures.

Fact is that these UM BoT & Admin have effed 3 coach hires, 2 coaches' extensions, and 2 ADs hires in an extended period of 15 years! Can you trust them not to ***** this up? ...unless you hold their feet to the fire. And you must hold their feet right; if not banners, Al Golden coaches the team through 2015.

Not only did UM BoT ***** up in the hire, and extension of Al Golden, but they ***** up in not firing him in 2014 & 2103 after disastrous finishes, and 2012 when Al was flirting with Penn State and insubordinated his boss by not returning that Troll's calls of his whereabouts.

The thing is that one of those so called big name coaches, who according to them may not have ordinarily considered coaching at the U, may just say yes. THAT's why the banners need to keep flying. There's no guarantee that all this Butch-as-next-coach leak isn't for fans' appeasement sake. Or maybe for real is: Butch is there anyway since they expect that the big names will all turn UM down, then they'd turn to Butch. If they do that, I'd hope Butch sticks it to them for $5,OOO,OOO.
 
Listen, Shula is a risk but he can coach. Alabama made a poor hire simply because he wasn't ready. It set back Alabama, and it derailed Mike Shula's career. If he was hired, It would be an odd pick to me, but I would reserve judgement. I think he will be a HC somewhere, next year.
 
Remember how exciting it was a couple of weeks ago when Golden got fired, those were the days
