I don't mind them taking their time & finding the right guy, no problem with waiting.

However I don't actually think they're interviewing a bunch of candidates either. I believe they missed on Fedora because they're not trying to pay more than $1million at the max for an OC & considering they're only paying Diaz $3.1mill I sincerely doubt they're willing to pay top dollar.

The hold up among other things has probably been they really only wanna pay $700K - $900K at the most.

The bama OC gets 1.1mil

Fedora wants to be a HC. I seriously doubt it has anything to do with money

Offering Fedora 1 million dollars does nothing to him unless Miami was going to pay more than what UNC is paying ATM to not coach, it didn't matter.

THIS.
If Fedora or Applewhite haven't given a definite YES it's not likely a salary issue, it's their desire to get one of the open HC jobs out there this week.

Seriously don't understand the reason for waiting so long on the OC hire.

It’s been a week and a day since Diaz was announced . Maybe it just feels longer to people because of all the speculation but I really don’t think waiting a week is so long for such a critical hire

If the argument is it hurts recruiting , how many big time 2019 recruits that haven’t already signed or made their mind up with 3 weeks to go do we actually think are basing their decision on this hire ? Not many if we’re real . I think Manny knows this despite what he said about naming the OC before the dead period ends, which still isn’t til Thursday btw

That was before they had to pay a buyout to Temple.

It's not that Miami doesn't have the money they almost always do, especially with a huge ACC network payout coming this year, cash is not an issue. But when they're paying the HC $3.1mill (which would be 37th-38th amongst P5 coaches) I don't see them paying $1.5mill for an OC.

Many have speculated that there is no way UM paid the entire 4 million on a 2 week old contract that...Probably pennies on the dollar, or had Manny pay a small amount

i believe Fedora had offset language in his unc contract so he's going to get paid the same regardless

Aranda & Venables are the two highest paid coordinators with Aranda making $2.5 & Venables making $2.2mill. Kevin Steele at Auburn is getting $2mill, Mike Elko at TAMU makes $1.8, Todd Orlando & Jim Leavitt are both making $1.7mill.

There are only 20 coordinators making $1mill or above, 4 of which already have new HC jobs including Bama's OC Mike Locksley (their new OC Dan Enos will get $1.2mill), yall really think Miami is going to pay an OC $1.5mill?

I'm NOT saying they can't afford it, they can, I'm just saying paying over a mill for an OC would put them within the top 10-15 for P5 coordinators, that's not something our administration is known to do.

It would be nice if they did & I hope they do I just doubt they do, that's all I'm saying.

And we would also need a top 15 coordinator to justify it. Which we don't have a chance at this offseason

Why would Miami have to pay Diaz more than that? That is pretty much the market for a first time head coach, unless he is the hot assistant of the coaching carousel season. Smart signed at Georgia for $3.7 million and that was at the high end.

I'd suspect Fedora and Applewhite are seeing if they can land a HC job. Temple HC will pay north of $2 million. All bets are off with a clown like Kliff Kingsbury ending up with the Cardinals. Still amazed.

actually, the budget for the OC is more than that, and money is not currently the holdup with Fedora.
 
Richt made 12M. The buyout was gifted to UM
grover said:
Exactly. Richt walked away from a 16M buyout. Manny is making much less than Richt made. The new DC has to be making much less than Manny made. ... There's no way the money isn't available.

Disagree on this. Diaz is only making $3.1 million because it would be INSANE to give much more to a first time HC. So we save that money. Then we saved on Richt's buyout, which more than covers Diaz' buyout. By all reports Searels and Dugans were among the highest-paid assistants. Gone. Whole D staff is not/should not be making much.

To me it's not about what we're paying the OC nearly as much as staff salaries.

Didn't Diaz literally say he planned to announce an OC within ten days of him being hired?

Looks like we're right on time to me.
