No, Leach and Kiffin. Two dudes with outsized personalities the AD couldn't handle, which is exactly what is needed. We aren't at a point anymore where we are saying, "if we miss on this coach, the program is dead." I think we are past that now. Miami is an irrelevant CFB program, which to be honest, is the same situation as 99% of the schools in the country. Let's stop worrying about finding the next Tom Herman (who turned out to not be the next Tom Herman) and look for the HC that has shown he can put a defibrillator on Miamis heart and shock us back to life. We need instant juice and credibility, not a first time HC. That might work at Oklahoma where they had a decade of consistency, massive resources, and an OC was given a well oiled machine. Miami doesn't have that foundation.
So far I've been right about Leach and Kiffin, a couple years back, most fans on this site claimed Leach would NEVER get another P5 job after WSU because he was a clown. I said that in coaching circles, other coaches have a huge amount of respect for Leach because he is one of the best in the country when it comes to doing more with less, and some smart school would take a chance.
Likewise, I still laugh at how many posters that said Kiffin would end his career at FAU and he'd never sniff another P5 job. I can't think of a better match in terms of personality and school than Lane Kiffin at Miami.
I realize that for most fans, their wet dream is Mario Cristobal. I certainly think he would be an upgrade over Diaz but I'm sick of mediocrity. Give me the boom or bust HC like Leach or Kiffin. Id rather see us go out in a blaze of glory rather than withering away.
