Quoting this so it doesn't get lost on that last page.Unfortunately, the geekification of football could be UM's downfall. All the recruiting nerds are slobbering on Mario's sack, and UM has already mentioned that it wants a great recruiter as its next HC.
Everyone understands the importance of recruiting. But what the recruiting geeks like Bluestain don't understand is that you don't recruit in a vacuum. There's no such thing as a recruiter who can recruit no matter how your team is doing on the field. It doesn't exist as Folden and Coley have clearly proven. 2 renowned recruiters who can't sign any hot recruits because everyone knew Folden was a loser and fraud.
You recruit in relation to the heat surrounding your program. You get heat around your program when: a. You make an initial hire and fans and recruits get hope of a turnaround; b. You WIN FOOTBALL GAMES. The "b" part of the recruiting success formula is the most important part because it's ongoing and long-lasting.
The "a" part works with any new HC at UM. You saw both Randy and Folden benefit from the "a" part, and I'm sure Beanerdict Arnold would too. The problem is the "b" prong. That's where UM has failed. No one can recruit anywhere when you are losing because your HC sucks. Beanerdict, like Randy and Folden, sucks.
If they get sucked into this mindset of only looking at someone with previous experience at Miami, am I the only one who thinks Schiano is the least smelliest **** in the bowl of him, Chud and Mario?

I've always been a fan of Chud but it's well known the minute an NFL team calls he's gone. It's also well known he doesn't like recruiting. I want BUTCH and so does **** near every one else. Please start flying the Bring Back Butch banners ASAP!!!!
Beanerdict, Franchise? Certainly a racist name. Could you please clarify?

Butch is the abviuos best choice. No reason to even discuss him. He will either be offered the job or not based on a character evaluation.
If he is out of the picture, Chud is the obvious best choice.
Chud has 12 years of NFL experience and connections.
The #1 thing these kids want is to play in the NFL. Chud can sell his player development better than anyone.
The #2 thing these kids want to do is win. Chud is the best x's and o's guy on this list by far. Chud will take whatever personal you give him and score points.
He did it with a running QB named Cam Newton in his rookie year. He has done it with drop back guys. The guy can coach em up.
Thank you.
Blustein who been around the game a lot longer than people here scouting all over the area said "Chud has the experience and resume for NFL HC, He's a call away for an NFL HC job again though."
I don't see how due to what's the inevitable at Indy. Don't see Chud getting nfl HC gig this offseason.
But do you realize Miamis best coaches all went on to be NFL HC's.
I don't get the Chud hate.
I don't think he's the BEST hire. But he's a good hire and would get job done and would have a REAL staff. Miami basically was built on coaches springing towards becoming NFL HC's.
If you guys want a Miami guy and he's not Butch. "If they turn down Butch"
Chud the best followed by Stoops(I don't think he's coming due to extension).
Settling IMO would be more Cristobal(Don't think he's ready for HC here, assistant HC yes.) or Schiano(don't think he fits here as a HC, like as DC)
Holy ****.
NO ONE wants a "Miami guy." I repeat, NO ONE, wants a "Miami guy"
Butch is attractive because of his rare ability, not because he is a "Miami guy." If we cannot get Butch, we need to look at fresh faces.
Beanerdict, Franchise? Certainly a racist name. Could you please clarify?
He's a beaner, and he's a traitor. Clear enough?

We're dying here, and this POTATOE wants to be PC. Are you on the BOT, per chance?
