Chad Glasgow as UM's potential new DC would be a home run hire that makes the most sense from a schematic point and program development. TCU plays fundementally sound defense that is based on attacking, this is what Manny's defense is supposed to look like and doesn't need elite players, just fast players.

He has been at TCU for more than a decade, he knows TCU's 4-2-5 defense and has developed countless all Americans and NFL players as a DB position coach (we have a killer safety room so this would be ideal in keeping the players from transferring). He left TCU once to go to Texas Tech an that was a disastrous 1 year. For years Glasgow has been in Gary Patterson's shadow an coming to Miami would allow him to step out and trully call his own defense (does this sound familiar Coach Banda). Bringing a seasoned coach for a few years would also Manny to see where his defensive scheme can be fixed/adjusted. Glasgow will be expensive simply because it has to be worth his while to leave his friend and mentor Gary Paterson. The biggest issue I could see is maybe cultural fit since he is a Texas/ Oklahoma country boy hard ***, an south Florida is a little different.

@Coach Macho @gogeta4 @DMoney what are your thoughts on TCU's scheme and Coach Glasgow fitting in at Miami and more importantly with Coach Diaz?

cant be any worse cultural fit than Louisiana trash blake baker. Plus at this point, who gives a fvck what SoFla kids think?

We got SoFla kids wearing 26 who can't even tackle or take proper angles. Or "3 stars who would be 5 stars anywhere else in the country" tweeting at fans 14 minutes after losing a bowl game.

Manny is still the head coach. Blake is still athletic director. It doesn't matter.

So by this logic, just do nothing, keep Baker and backslide?

Manny was still the head coach and James the athletic director, but Miami hired Rhett Lashlee and brought in D'Eriq King—both of which improved an anemic offense.

Miami needs a defensive guy that doesn't need babysitting. Baker is way over his skis.

Bring in Charlie Strong. Florida recruiting ties, veteran hard-*** defensive coordinator and stock has dropped after two head coaching failures. Currently an analyst at Alabama and needs a higher-profile gig to start re-climbing the career ladder.

Let Manolo go back to trying to play CEO, as it's a waste of his time an energy to have to play part-time defensive coordinator.

Mopes will always answer that the solution is to clearly fire everyone after they don't work in 2 years and start over each time. They would have fired Dabo and almost any other great HC before the ever had a chance lol.

You use changes on the offense as your proof that Manny will do the same to defense? Our defense was like Swiss cheese for a while so why he didn't make the same changes to the defense? It is because the defense is HIS. He needs to give it up and give it to a proven DC who can fix it. Most people believe he won't do that because it will be admission of failure.

Our best coaches didn't pander to SFL players. They worked them hard and turned them into champions.
