Here is a note from barry jackson and it's similar to what pete said.
*Cristobal is a polarizing candidate among some Trustees – his ability to recruit South Florida is attractive but there’s concern about how his tenure ended at FIU (3-9, and 27-47 overall).
The coach will likely be chud or schiano in my opinion.
I mean seriously a 27-47 record in Miami at a school where most of the players were from Miami.
What else do you need to know?
If you cant take lower rated Miami players and have a winning record against other crappy teams then why do you think he will do any different at the U.
Butch would take lower rated Miami players and win the coastal.
I would take Mario as a coordinator ad nothing else.
Over Richt's tenure he has pulled in likely the best recruits over every other school in the country.
Does he win? Nothing big enough for Miami fans. I have been in Georgia long enough to know he does less with more than any other school in the country.
Also he is so ingrained into the country/christian life up here he aint going to Miami. No way his wife lets him drag her to Miami.
I am still holding out for Chip Kelly.
He gets canned in Phily then he is either going to be a Trojan, Cane or Longhorn because those are going to be the only schools with the intangibles to build a dynasty and he doesn't want to work as hard as he did before to be always left in Saban's shadows.
If Texas fire's Strong this quickly it will hurt them with their chances.
USC might just be to close to Oregon and the PAC10 will never compete with the SEC.
That leaves the Miami job looking pretty if they will open up the pocketbooks.
Outside of that bring in Butch. He is old but name the last coach that coached more then 6 seasons at Miami . Butch has 6 seasons left in him for sure.
