Do we really need another coach with a Miami background?

Scnellenberger went from the pros to Miami with no college experience, JJ came from Ok St with no Miami background experience, Erickson was a wild choice and many wondered if he could deal with the tough kids out of So FL. Aside from Golden the rest have been historically tied to the U and none have been successful except Butch. I'd love to see a young, inspiring, active, yet experienced innovative coach with zero ties to the U. We won our championships by radically different personalities and innovative coaches. The only "local" coach that is a winner is Kiffin but he has a rather erratic past. We need a wild card like Tressel was for Ohio State...someone fresh and exciting where everyone hear say's "WHO?" and then complains that it should be Butch or Kiffin etc. Change is good, radical change is even better. We should be able to attract just about any lower tier successful coach with the recruits we currently have but we need someone who will stay the course, love the U and build something special. All that considered and if they want to play it safe I still do love Butch and consider him the ONLY safe U related coach that could turn things around. Does it really matter though that we get a coach with Miami ties based on the failures? Is there another JJ out there?
