Heatherman and Dawson BOTH extended

[OrangeBowlMagic]

TrumpyCane wants to know the last time we had an OC here for 4 years in a row

Dan Enos was here for 4 minutes in a row and that was 5 too many.

Hottest support staff in CFB and it's not even close.

Pictures or we don't believe you ma'am

Per Pete Thamel.....YUGE news for the good guys. No details yet but both agreed to multi-year extensions. Doesn't mean they'll for sure be here long-term, a school can come pay a buy-out, of course, but it's great news on how Coach Cristobal views these guys and you'd think they'll both be here likely at least 2 more seasons.

Time to kill everyone.

If we can get at least two more seasons out of these guys. We will win a natty. As a program that chemistry plus the level we are recruiting at will make us a contender yearly!

BANG!!!

 

[TallyCane]

Yep. Buyout is the key here

Buyout from coordinator to become a head coach is usually low if there is one at all. I’d expect if another school wanted to hire them away to be a coordinator is pretty high buyout.

Seems like teams are now using the “he won’t be there long” as a recruiting tactic huh?


It went from um sucks to this

Always.
It is their Copium.

Win win. We know they're getting plucked away to be coordinators in the league or HCs in the P4 at some point in the next couple of years. Miami should get paid for developing them.

Mario will find guys just as good when we replace them, as long as we get brand new toys people will be banging on the door to coach here

It's 2026 why are you judging?

Dawson is better than fisch and lashlee.

Hetherman is still very young and relatively inexperienced. I'm sure some schools started sniffing, but this guy was literally the linebackers coach at Rutgers about 25 months ago. I think for the schools to come calling that he'd be willing to leave for, he needs another year or two here. I think he's only about 42 years old. If we have a top 10 defense again this season, he is going to get a LOT of attention from some pretty decent schools.

Dawson has the more "traditional" resume, and I'm very surprised we've been able to hold onto him this long. I'm sure some decent schools have inquired. He's 48, he's been a coordinator in and out of the P4 level for a decade.

Hopefully both feel Miami is on the verge of a sixth national championship and want to be part of that before making the next career move. Those opportunities don’t come along very often. Neither is likely to fail given the resources they have available to them.

He's not a recruiter and he's not a CEO.

IMO, Dawson has two options -- go the NFL as an OC or settle in as HC of a lower P4 team like a Virginia or Missouri. I see no future for him as a CFP contending HC. Once we make another playoff run and Mensah puts up Ward-like numbers, he'll have plenty of options to pursue either of those career paths.

I keep tryna tell yall. Being an OC or DC is the better gig than being a HC in the NIL era. Congrats to both and lets go get a few rings in the next few years!

I don't know. I'd take Norvell's or Lane's contract over any OC/DC gig. I ****ed up? Sorry, maybe you should fire me.

Love this move! Mario sending a message. In the CFB world, Mario's gone from being a short term nuisance, very dangerous in the middle distance, and now fatal to any other team's long term plans. Eff them all!
