I think this due dilligence stuff

[KevinCosio]

I'll say this every day until I'm blue in the face:

Butch Davis will not be Miami's next HC. They will willingly hire Chud, Schiano, Strong, and Wario before they hire him.

As such, putting your eggs in the Butch basket is idiotic and does more to get us a corch than the coach we need.

Strong is not being considered, Mario is not being considered seriously, Chud is in no way even interested, nobody that matters wants Schiano.. So take ur head out of ur a$$.. Golden lover

They're making a legit run at Kelly, and they think they can land him... The post about this the other day was accurate. Butch is a back up candidate, but the front runner(s) would be a grand slam to Butchs home run.

Don't be surprised if the "sesrch" continues until the end of December... The AD is actually trying to re-establish this program's dominance With this hire.

Chip Kelly ain't coming here... Butch is a Homerun candidate be thankful he's there for the taking and hungry and will be successful.. He's what we need at this time.. He'll groom a successor or put us in such a **** great position on the field and $$$$ maybe a chip Kelly kinda coach would come next time around becuz we would be elite again

Let's see if Butch is brought back this week.

 

[Dwinstitles]

Well see what happens but bbb

 

[Mikesmith29150]

Kelly, Patterson, Herman, and Gundy all pipe dreams

Is just BS.. This just my opinion of what's going on

I believe it's Butch Davis.

I believe this is who the likes of Blake James, Ted Chwartz, Paul DiMare and Stuart Miller want, but they need to be politically correct in the process and need to create a wide-open search.

All this talk of Davis being the fallback option; it just appeases everybody in the search process. Shoot for the Longshot guys and big names and if you don't land them, Davis now looks like a good third or fourth choice to all those folks who were against him. It's a win-win for anyone and makes it look like the search firm and committee wasn't lazy or didn't exhaust every option even if we all expected the same result..

In the end, there is too much competition out there for coaches this season and any big named guys out there are going to have a lot of options. Miami might be an attractive gig, but next to Southern Cal, LSU, Florida State (should Jimbo go to Baton Rouge), the Canes won't be the first-choice option for a lot of guys. They will outbid us for guys like chip because he gunna demand like 6 and were willing to pay 4. We have to fix a lot of issues, better our resources and most importantly WIN..

The dominoes are going to fall a certain way and when it's all said and done, I believe Davis will be Miami's best option.

If the committee chooses a Mario or Schiano over Butch ... they will fail Before they even start, it will be a tough ride up and those guys don't have what it takes, the powers know that, even if they won't admit it. Go canes!

Been saying this for weeks.

I did say chip is coming, I said they're trying. Your post above is is right on.

My guess is it'll end up being Butch too. But they're trying for a Bigger name.

They are going to try but the target date for this has always been dec 8th u need to hire a coach a week before the dead period for recruiting I believe to be able to recruit... Not sure though

I don't think this recruiting class is much of a consideration in the big picture. Sure, it would be great to have someone in place before the dead period starts so that coach has time to contact the high school coaches, kids, and parents. But, I think a guy like Baez and the rest of those guys can handle all of that over the next month while Blake and the committee find the right guy.

 

[Kevin]

New coach will be in place by next week

 

[stormbrewing]

This team deserves the best coaching staff, if we had that this year we lose 1 maybe 2 games

 

[SpikeUM]

Interesting how the same set of facts can be interpreted completely differently by folks.

With a lot of the fan base and some BOT members screaming for Butch, why would the school pay 6 or 7 figures for Korn Ferry? For show? No way.

They really do want a big time coach. If, and its still a big if, Butch gets the job, its because multiple other coaches turned it down.

p.s. Among the reasons a Korn Ferry gets hired is for anonymity and connections, to avoid tampering charges.

 

[JD08]

OK makes sense!!!!! School spending 250K for giggles. Hope Santa comes through for you.

My company just spent $150k on Korn Ferry to conduct a national search just to discover our COO was the best best person for the job. This way nobody can say they are a good old boy network. By the same token, if UM had just picked Butch the day after, people would be saying he had been whispering in ears to get Golden fired.

You don't even want to know how many expensive consultants I've seen over the years for an array of projects that just came in looked busy and made the exact same recommendations as the rest of the staff.

I'm not saying Butch is a given, I'm saying companies spend money for giggles regularly, so don't use that as disqualifying evidence.

Couldn't this work with assistant coaches as well?

 

[sabrose]

Miami has never opened up the checkbook. If they do now anything is possible. But outside of a very few coaches who is going to be guaranteed better than Butch Davis? But the OP makes a good point .There are good jobs available galore.

The new head coach would hire his staff.
