Defensive Coordinators

[Genghis Cane]

I for one believe that a head coach is only as strong as his coordinators and position coaches. With that being said...it is obvious we need to get back to the old 4-3 Miami Way. So I ask all of you to forget about the head coaching position for a second, and brainstorm some names that you would be happy to see at DC. Who is your top 3 choices, regardless of head coach?

 

[AUcane]

Todd Orlando would be my top choice. Dm

 

[Hurricanemike32]

Jim Leavitt. That dude has a little bit of crazy in him and I love it!

 

[Contender1]

Brett Venables or Bud Foster would both be home run DC hires.
Jim Leavitt would also be good.

 

[QuadCam]

I like all 3 of those guys. Venables won't take a lateral job.... and a likely drop in pay to leave Clemson. He's going to angle for an HC job. Foster is probably hoping to take over the VaTech job, but could be interested in he doesn't get it.

Leavitt would be a great fit! He did a **** of a job at USF....until he choked out one of his players. Oops! That incident has kept Leavitt off of the sidelines. Is Miami the team to give him a new lease on life? Don't know, but he could be great here ...

 

[Gatorhater]

Keep Mark ---- as tackling dummy. Other than that, whoever will bring out the savages we were.

 

[djh]

Charlie Strong or Greg Schiano

 

[OBLIVION]

Bud Foster, Don Brown, Todd Orlando and Jim Leavitt.

 

[Canefam]

Bud Foster, Don Brown, Todd Orlando and Jim Leavitt.

Bud foster is the highest paid DC in the country at 1.5 million...

 

[JZCane]

Ah yes, the typical Jim Leavitt responses. Next will be Kevin Patrick for DL coach. Hilarious and predictable

Muschamp makes 1.6.

If by saying hilarious and predictable you mean great ***king hires then I completely agree with you. I would love to see your choices troll.

 

[OBLIVION]

Bud Foster, Don Brown, Todd Orlando and Jim Leavitt.

I see he makes 900k a year. He made 1.3 at the end of last season because of a one-time longevity payment of 800k. His current contract is 600k plus a 300k yearly longevity bonus.

Is there a reason Bud Foster won't be a candidate for the V Tech head coaching job?

I am sure they will give him a look.

 

[KevinCaneFace]

Bud Foster may be losing his touch. I'm sure VTs recruiting has fallen off but they were great because Bud could take 2 and 3 star players and make a great defense. That group has been average the last few years.

Miami will never Leavitt. I like Orlando if we can get him from Herman. (Or with Herman) This may be the most important hire because its been so bad these last few years.

Foster did beat the national champions in 2014, a year ago.

Herman would be solid.

 

[Sonny Long]

Absolutely Not! VT's Offense is its Defense's worst enemy!

 

[DaU83]

Foster doesn't want to be HC, he would be great down here, but I think he may stay on with the next staff.

Dude hasn't been off the sideline. He was in the NFL for a while and now he is the DC at Colorado.
