Golden had the 10th ranked offense and 15th ranked defense last year.

Which is why I used a five-year sample in the OP. The results speak for themselves.
Look at the teams above us in yards per play. They are considered the best offenses of the past five years. The defenses are the same story. The Top 5 is Alabama, FSU, UF, LSU and Michigan State. The exact teams you'd expect.
Yards per play is much more accurate measurement than traditional stats. In this case, it confirms what my eyes tell me: that this offense would look a lot better if it wasn't attached to a historically bad defense.

It seems you like Butch, Herman, and Strong the most based on your recent posts. Are they your top 3 seemingly realistic choices, assuming Hue Jackson's not going to be in the picture since the year he's having in Cincinnati will likely set him up for NFL head-coaching opportunities?

Yes. Butch gives us a proven process at a time when we can't afford failure. Strong is similar to Butch but I have less faith in his ability to assemble a staff. Herman just seems like the next Urban Meyer with his overall approach, from the offense to recruiting.
I'd rank them Butch, Herman and then Strong.

Disagree completely, Yard per play first of all is an average derived from total yards per game which directly correlates to several different factors with one being the style of offense and defense you play. Two being level of competition. three being in game score. All of these will affect yards per play in every game the team plays.
Miami offense has padded stats on cupcakes, gets chunk yardage on deep routes, and is notorious under Golden for disappearing for two-three quarters of a game. None of which can be attributed to the horrid defense we play. If anything our defensive stats would look better if our offense could sustain drives and run the clock instead of getting so many three and outs.

Sp glad you brought that up.
Did you know that butch Davis @ UNC was 36th in ypp on offense and 33rd in ypp given up on defense, even with all the suspensions to his studs in 2010?
Butch Davis is a God.

No but his OFFENSIVE coach is and he had a transformational player at the QB position.

And even the "offensive minded" coaching guys would be estatic with a Gary Patterson hire. Why? Because he an elite level FOOTBALL coach.

Jesus Christ another cherry-picked stat from the most off point Canes "expert" I've ever seen.
The offense is abysmal. The defense is abysmal. Get me an elite coach who can fix both, including firing every coach currently on staff, none of whom deserve to be here despite DMoney's desperate attempt to excuse Corley.
Oh, and Charlie Strong blows......just wanted to remind you.

Kinda ironic 8 of 9 years the best ypp defense are in the two worst offensive conferences . With the worst qb's and fewest uptempo offenses .
Shocking stat.
If you're playing the fewest uptempo offenses / spread offenses you'll have the fewest ypp. I'd be willing to bet there's a bunch of sec/ b10 teams in the top 30-40.

Look ultimately it comes down to the following...
Who can take the talent...and organize it in a way that will beat people.
That's it.
Offensive coaches win, defensive coaches win. The reason the stats are the way they are is because to be champion you have to be good at all 3 phases. That's what it takes to be a championship team. It's not just defense. It's not just offense. It's not just special teams. It's all 3 phases of the game.
Guess what? If you play all 3 phases really well...you'll probably be champion. It's that simple.
Why are Alabama, LSU, Ohio State, FSU, us, Auburn etc. always considered programs that can be in the mix. (Obviously we haven't been there in a while, but everyone knows if we get our act together we will be)
Because we have talent. LSU is dripping with talent everywhere. So is Bama, so is Auburn, etc. etc. etc.
Man even Richt who is always winning like 10 games or something...why? because Georgia has tons of talent.
Teams that have huge offenses and do well are typically teams that don't have the talent to fill all three phases. They have enough for just 1 side of the ball. So they put all their eggs in 1 basket hoping to win.
Look at a team like Boston College that is all defense. They are 3-6. And they lead in just about every defensive category...
What really is the difference are the teams that can play great on all 3 sides with talent. That's the key.
An Offensive minded HC can win just as easily as a defensive minded HC.
What was Jimbo at the noles before he was HC.... an OC... what?!?! How could this be?!?? it's almost as if a Good HC will hire a good DC with a good budget and wow...they can win games...because when they have the talent for all 3 sides there is no excuse for not being good at all 3 phases.
When you are in talent deprived areas...sometimes you gotta go all in on something with the best players you have so you at least have SOMETHING that is good.
So don't give me this BS it HAS to be defensive minded...or it HAS to be offensive minded.
It just has to be a smart coach who knows how to get the most out of what he has. That's it. That's always the marker and judge.
Harbaugh gets the most out of his players... good coach.
Urban Meyer (another offensive assistant)...gets the most out of his players...good coach.
You know why we sucked with Golden? Because he got the least out of his players. He had the talent. We always have had talent, but we lost with him because despite being talented...he made things confusing...didn't know how to mold people to get the most out of them, and in the end shackled the players abilities in order to "Raising Canes" and all that BS.
I saw a video somewhere at practice and he's trying to talk to a player who was slow to move around and that fat goldilocks is shouting at him "Let's go Miami...Let's go Miami" like he doesn't even know who the player is and just general Miami talk is going to motivate him.
Great coaches come from all sides of the ball. If they are good at offense...get a good DC. Just like when we had Ericson..that worked out just fine. If they a good DC...get a good OC... It's not hard to do it, but Golden made it hard. So we don't need to say it has to be this..or it has to be that...
No. The requirements are.
- Have a clear vision.
- Bring the most out of the players
- Kick people's ***
- Hire good assistants that compliment what you want to do in all 3 phases
That's it. It's not rocket science.

With any stats you should take out games against non power 5 conference teams. Because we all know this offense typically does NOTHING vs a defense with a pulse.....

Butch Hiring Day is 21 away
Still looking? Searching? Wandering aimlessly in the desert of CORCHES?
I must be looking for something
Something sacred I lost
But the river is wide
And it's too hard to cross
And even though I know the river is wide
I walk down every evening and I stand on the shore
And try to cross to the opposite side
So I can finally find out what I've been looking for
I don't know why I go walking at night
But now I'm tired and I don't want to walk anymore
I hope it doesn't take the rest of my life
Until I find what it is that I've been looking for
In the middle of the night
I go walking in my sleep
Through the jungle of doubt
To a river so deep

We don't even know if Herman wants the job but I know who does.BBB
It seemed to me the d-coordinator reverted back to his old ways in the 4th on saturday and was bailed out at the end. I hate that defense where there is no pre-snap movement!!! sure it's not everything, but them make the qb think a bit!
Are you suggesting that they don't even inquire on Herman?
