The dream team of Coaches for UM shall be with Butch Davis as Head Coach, Rob Chudzinski as OC Greg Schiano as DC. In order to do this, the millionaires on the UM BoT, along with UM Admin should pull out their checkbook for $5,5OO,OOO and hire Butch, Rod, and Greg for HC, OC, and DC respectively. Add Ken Dorsey as QB coach. The Coordinators shall have an extremely high contract buy-out for the 1st two years at $3,OOO,OOO each, and virtually zero $ for their third and remaining years on these coordinators contracts. The contracts shall break down as follows:
Butch Davis, Head Coach.......$ 3,OOO,OOO
OC Rod Chudzinski, Assoc HC..$ 1,75O,OOO
DC Greg Schianno, ***'t HC....$ 1,75O,OOO
For the rest of the staff, I'd trust these 3 amigos, headed by the man with the best tree of coaches at UM Butch Davis, to know what best technicians to bring out as the ***'t coaching positions.


Report: Rob Chudzinski among serious Miami candidates - NFL.com

Ron Wright / Associated Press Rob Chudzinski compiled a 4-12 record during his one season as Browns head coach in 2013.
Indianapolis Colts associate head coach Rob Chudzinski is reportedly a serious name on the list for the Miami job. He joins former coach Butch Davis, former Tampa Bay Buccaneers and Rutgers coach Greg Schiano, Texas head coach Charlie Strong, Alabama offensive line coach Mario Cristobal, and Houston head coach Tom Herman.
Davis has deep coaching roots at UM as both an assistant and head coach, while Cristobal is a former UM player and assistant coach. Chudzinski was a three-year starting tight end for the Hurricanes and won a pair of national championships there in 1987 and 1989.
From a financial standpoint, Strong figures to be the least likely possibility. He earns more than $5 milliion per year at UT, according to USA Today, and is only in his second season. Former Miami coach Al Golden, fired in midseason, barely earned half of that at $2.54 million. With Miami's attendance figures sagging at an embarrassing level, Strong would almost certainly be looking at a significant paycut to leave the Longhorns. Strong brushed off a question about the UM job last month.
It's not the first time Davis has been linked to the job, as the Miami Herald reported the school's interest last week. Davis, for his part, hasn't hidden his interest in returning to the school he coached from 1995-2000. He hasn't been a head coach since he was fired at North Carolina in 2010, amid an academic fraud scandal for which he was criticized but not implicated.
Former Miami Hurricane greats Jonathan Vilma and Vinny Testaverde have been named to an advisory committee to help find UM's next coach.
The six-member committee and a search firm will be used to assist athletic director Blake James, Vilma and Testaverde will be joined on the advisory committee by three members of the school's trustee board, and a deputy athletic director. Vilma and Testaverde were stars at the college level, with Vilma helping lead a national championship team in 2001, and Testaverde winning the Heisman Trophy in 1986. Both are in the UM Sports Hall of Fame.
Vilma had a 10-year NFL career while Testaverde played 21 NFL seasons with seven teams.
