Davis, Herman, Fuente, in that order.
I have my reservations regarding Davis. Even the most loyal Butch supporters will admit he isn't the finest gameday tactician.
That being said, we already have a good roster. He steps in next year and we can win big immediately. He brings the credibility, the ability to assemble a quality staff, and has the eye for talent second to no one. Under Butch, we wouldn't rebuild, we would reload. The idea has also been floated around that he coaches 4 to 5 seasons and grooms the next coach under his tutelage. It doesn't always work out that way, but if this doesn't present itself as a potential seamless transition, I'm not sure what does.
And for anyone questioning if Davis is too old or if he wouldn't bring the enthusiasm or charisma, you're a certified lunatic. He's been waiting over a decade to get another crack at winning a National Title here. He realizes he made a colossal mistake leaving and will do whatever it takes to get the opportunity to win it all at UM again.
If not Davis, roll the dice on Herman or Fuente.
Herman, in particular, is the right "fit" for Miami the way Folden wasn't. Miami kids would want to play in and would succeed in his offensive system.
Pipe Dream: Chip Kelly, Gary Patterson
Intriguing: Hue Jackson, Chuck Pagano
Burn the Program to the Ground: Greg Schiano, Mario Cristobal, Lane Kiffin
