With the admin's track record I wouldn't be surprised if Al Golden is on the docket for an interview.

I don't know Chuds Xs and Os
But that's what Miami needs!
Someone who is a great FOOTBALL coach not a great recruiter. We win and the recruits will come..
As long as he gets guys around him to win I'm fine with Chud.

Are you saying you are opposed to Butch? He had the rep of being a bad game day coach and all his teams seem to underperform the talent level, but he recruited an ungodly amount of talent to overcome that.

So the BoT rolls their eyes at Butch but would be willing to invite Orgeron back to campus??

I thought his only issue was a drinking problem back in the 1980's. Was there more? Great recruiter and a good DL coach.

Didn't he run into to some trouble at ole miss?

"Starting in 1991, a series of personal problems began to surface for Orgeron: a local woman filed a restraining order against Orgeron, accusing him of repeatedly attacking her. In July 1992, Orgeron was arrested for his part in a bar fight in Baton Rouge, Louisiana; Orgeron acknowledged he had been intoxicated that night and had grown angry when not allowed back inside to retrieve his credit card. In October 1992, Orgeron took a leave of absence from the University of Miami coaching staff for personal reasons; the departure turned out to be a permanent one, however, and he was replaced by assistant coach Randy Shannon. Taking a respite from coaching, Orgeron worked on his personal life: the permanent injunction against him was eventually rescinded, and the felony second-degree battery charges he faced were dropped. He stayed with his parents in Larose, crediting his father for helping him get his life in order.

Orgeron returned to coaching in 1994, but as a volunteer linebackers coach at Nicholls State University. The following year, he moved from the south to the northeastern U.S., accepting a job with head coach Paul Pasqualoni's staff at Syracuse University, where he coached defensive line for three years. Orgeron credited Pasqualoni for giving him a second chance at major-college coaching (after his prior personal issues had damaged his 'hireability'), and, helping him develop as a coach on- and off-the-field."

Yeah, that sounds like what I remember. This guy has been employed by universities for the past 20 years. This isn't like Butch who was fired more than five years ago and nobody has offered him a job. I'm sure the committee will investigate the UNC scandal and I hope they find nothing to prevent hiring him, but I'm skeptical. I'm optimistic that we will get a good coach though.
