I do not agree with that at all. That guy is an elite coach. Look at his history, he has been good at his craft. At least we will have a defensive identity. However, for me, I have and always will want an offensive coach. In South Florida if you had an elite offensive coach you could AGAIN, change the landscape of College football. The pro set is even dead in the league, look a the Pats yesterday, they aired it out all day long. It is just the progression of football. I say go hard after any coach that has shown he can coach offense. I like the guy at Houston, Memphis, or even a Leach. But I think he would not be a great fit of the area. But I want a guy like that, that just plays fast, effective offense. There are plenty of players on this team right now, and there is even more in the area coming out to consistently create a powerhouse program, we just need someone who can turn them into the players we need because they have an identity, and they know the kind of player they are looking for. Look how good Clemson does with just a few guys from the area that fit what they do, or when UL did the same thing with some local guys.
A few things (just on Brent V or any college coordinator with zero HC experience):
1. There is no proof he is an elite HC. He has never been a HC. He does a good job coaching a defense but there is much more to it when coaching the whole team. You know who else were elite coordinators? Randy Shannon and Will Muschamp. Both failed when given the HC gig. Does this mean that all **** college coordinators will fail? No. But there is clearly a risk. Miami should be looking to minimize the risk. We don't need the guy to learn how to be an HC at Miami.
2. It appears there is a new trend in college football and coaches. **** coordinators are going to inferior ranks to get their teeth wet.
Herman (Houston), Montgomery (Tulsa) and Morris (SMU) were all named as first time HC last year alone. I am sure, if they wanted to wait, someone like Pitt (with Nard Dawg) would come along and snatch them up without any HC experience. But perhaps, they want to go coach with the big boys. Perhaps they want to get some experience first because there is a lot to learn.
Fuente also did the same thing.
Look at Harbaugh, Briles, Meyer, Patterson and Sumlin. All coached at inferior programs (non BCS) before going to the Power 5. I don't see why this isn't the way to go unless Miami wants to really go get someone like Kelly.
3. As for the Pro Set v. Any Formation, I don't care. Just ***ing win games. Considering Brent V has no offensive identity, having never coached it, why does it matter?
