Look, what Butch did at Miami from 1995-2000 was remarkable. He fired Bill Miller. Who else did Butch fire during his tenure? BTW, Nick Saban immediately hired Miller at Michigan State so how bad could he really be? Let's face it. Miami was still depleted because of probation. Schiano did a nice job but Miami got to deal with a more experience defense. Rumph and Reed were experienced sophomores. Damione Lewis was now an upperclassmen. Nate Webster and Dan Morgan juniors. I'm having trouble forgiving Chimpy for running Cover 2 man with a minute and a half to go against Penn State.
Let's not overcomplicate this. We need a change at quarterback. Give one of the young guns a shot. Schedule sets up perfectly to do it. Try Scaife at tackle and move Donaldson back to guard. Pull significant PT from the usual suspects who rotate on defense that are consistently killing us. Find a punter who wouldn't shank the ball at least once or twice a game. This isn't that hard to fix.
