Giving credit where it's due: James coley

So I hated our last staff and his playcalling was wildly inconsistent from game to game. What, however, he did as a primary recruiter and talent evaluator of the quarterback position during his tenure was the best we have seen since the 80s here. While some of our prospects are tbd he was a central guy for Kaaya (stud), Rozier (decent backup and helps Kaaya a lot), unearthing Shireffs who had a great spring, getting young stud Allison to commit, and also getting that initial interest from Perry.

Again I realize most of these guys are tbd and he was a lousy playcaller. Talent wise, however, next years grupo with Kaaya (if he stays), Rozier, shireffs, Allison, perry and Weldon will be our best group in a very long time.

I don't have to be an experienced play caller to know that a hb pass in a snowstorm with the game on the line is an idiotic idea. Or did Golden make him call that play too?

Golden was gone by then. Maybe Larry Scott did.
Golden musta text him from home while hes sipping margaritas like a girl saying to call a hb pass
 
He the worst OC in the history of the program when you take into account how much talent he had at his disposal.

Nobody did less with more...and God knows we've had some stiff competition in regards to bad coaches over the last 20 years.

Nix is the worst and it's not even close. Coley could at least somewhat recruit and identified some really good QBs.

I literally can't think of one positive thing Nix did in his two years here. Not one. Not one recruit he got. Not one specific game he helped us win. Nothing.

Nix was horrible...but he never had a QB as good as Kaaya. If I remember correctly those were the days we were so desperate for wide receivers we were trying the punter out to see if he could run routes.

So like I said before, relative to the talent they had at their disposal....I'd argue Coley was pound for pound the worst Offensive coordinator we've had.
 
The op is ablolutely right here. He's getting hammered but the bottom line is that this is the best crop of quarterbacks Miami's had since Richt was here the first time(at least in terms of potential). Coley was a bad OC but he had an eye for talent at the quarterback position. He did the same thing at FSU and 3 or 4 of his recruits from then are all in the NFL now.
 
Yawn.... The **** called a **** hb pass in a snowstorm. Shoulda taken his right to coach away right there. Have fun GA fans with him on your staff

The HB pass in the snow was brutal, still feel like Coley should be on this staff instead of in Athens. Imagine if Richt had Jedd Fisch and Coley on his staff as co-offensive coordinators, head recruiter.
