to be a Head Coach at Miami excluding Butch, Chud, Schiano and Cristobal. Those are the obvious names that most people always mention but often schools go with somebody most fans wouldn't expect(Golden, McElwain). Feldman mentioned that Golden would be a good fit for a team like VA or BC. Who do you feel would be a great fit to coach the athletes in south fla? Realistic options that would be available if some team was to take Golden.

Lane Kiffin, Art Briles, Gary Patterson, anyone not named Al Golden. Someone who lets the dogs of the leash and not afraid to talk smack............maybe Rex Ryan.

Ed Orgeron, Unemployed

Orgeron, a former Ole Miss head coach and Southern California interim head coach, has made it clear that he wants to get back into coaching football after taking a year off in 2014. Orgeron has expressed interest in the UNLV job, however, you would think that he would be open to talking to Colorado State if the opportunity presents itself. Known as a player's coach, Orgeron is a great recruiter and he gets players to play hard for him.

While his head coaching resume isn't overly impressive, 16-27 in three and a half seasons as a head coach, he has experience coaching in the SEC and PAC-12 and has recruiting ties in many different areas. His most success came in 2013 when he took over for Lane Kiffin who was fired. He went 6-2 with the Trojans and was looking like a possible candidate to become the new Southern California head coach, but that job was eventually given to another former USC assistant coach in Steve Sarkisian.

Lane Kiffin?

How many times does a guy need to fail in a head coaching position before people realize he's not good enough for that title?

Is he a genius OC? Yup. Is he an awful head coach? Yup.
 
You eliminate all the coaches most likely to succeed and to be affordable, leaving only those who might be cheap enough for our low-life BOT. Might as well just say "bring Randy back." if you think the BOT is going out and spending big money to hire a big name you crazy. Butch was not my first choice, but as things have played out, he might now be the only choice. He is cheap, he is big name, he will quiet the fan base, rally to alum and sell tickets. If you can get the TCU guy, fine, but that is not happening.

Hiring Butch Davis won't sell one extra ticket.

South Florida fans are fickle, front running and bandwagon champions. Unless Miami is a top-10 team no coach hire outside of the Nick Saban's, Jim Harbaugh's and Pete Carroll's of the coaching world would put asses in seats. And your typical casual south Florida fan doesn't know/doesn't care about Butch Davis.

If Gus Bradley was available, I think he'd be good. Very good chance if we need a coach it comes from one of the four above.
 
Justin Funte ...

He's cheap, he's young, and he's as close to Gary Patterson as w can get ... Since he was on TCU's staff from 2007-2011.

Kiffin would clean up in recruiting down here. But I'm not impressed with his GameDay coaching abilities. My top choice would be Rich Rod. With the offensive talent here right now he could make the team extremely competitive his first year.
