Three, the guy had been a lifetime position coach prior to his 1 year stint with OSU as CO-defensive coordinator with Greg Mattison, so we know who was calling the shots there.
Swinney & Meyer were lifetime position coaches prior to getting their first gigs...matter of fact, they had less experience than Hafley.
Imagine hiring a first year coach who was a DC with no actual HC expri...wait a gotdamnminuteBoston College poached a rising star in Todd Hafley. Ohio State co-defensive coordinator. Bucks has been pretty legit. But point is, Boston College went out and searched for candidates and went with the guy they felt was best. Blake James hasn’t performed a true coaching search since he stepped foot in Coral Gables. If manny was the guy after a search, greats but the point is make sure you are flipping every stone to make sure you are hiring the “best” guy. Just irritates me that Boston college did things better than Miami.
CIS didHow do you know Hafley is a "rising star"?
Who annointed him as such?
CIS did
School hired the Associate AD from Ohio St to run the athletic department so yes, they give a crap about sports there.
True. But this logic is no different than when ppl say "well X coach went 6-6 his first year at X university and now they're the top of the game". Guys like that are the exception to the rules
Did Boston College perform a better coaching search than Miami?

What team didn't do a better coaching search then us? In the past decade maybe only Tennessee did worse than usBoston College poached a rising star in Todd Hafley.

Hey don't post facts.. they emotional vaginas want to spend the next 9 months making this board unbearable.. just like scout.Boston College went after a "rising star" last go-around and that didn't work out.
Steve Addazio was supposed to be some offensive smart guy, coming in having been on Meyer's staff at Florida. He flopped.
Also, pretty funny to label Jeff Hafley a "rising star" having taken the Boston College gig, as he'd have gotten laughed out of the room if this was Miami's hire.
Talk all the trash you want about Diaz, as it's deserves after 6-6—but the guy had more of a resume than this kid—including three years running Miami's defense.
Dude spent ONE YEAR in Columbus as a co-defensive coordinator and secondary coach—with a few short NFL secondary stints here and there—before winding up at Ohio State.
This hire is an absolute crap shoot for them. Hardly a home run hire; even by Boston College standards.
If this is all they wound up with after some "search"—it ain't much.
Solid recruiter—when bringing guys to Columbus, Ohio to play for a national power. We'll see how easy that pitch is in Chestnut Hill.
Butch would of had us clicking on all cylinders right now if they hired him instead of RichtButch
