This is why you get an AD involved who is dialed in to the coaching circuit, and/or engage a search org to do some due diligence. Miami needs a head coach that can crush the entire Venn diagram of coaching responsibilities. Not a specialist. He also has to be a bit of a politician to work this town, and I am very worried about Lane's ego and arrogance and how it will play here.
I've been sounding this alarm here since his name came up. Ole Miss is currently 13th out of 14th in the SEC in recruiting rankings for this cycle, only ahead of Vandy, which means he's effectively last in the SEC. I guess they could close well, though I don't see them involved with enough top kids to do so. They are already about 99% Lilly to lose the state to MISS ST this cycle. And it's not close. I think they have like 3 of the top 20 kids in MS committed and they are only leading with one of the four that are left uncommitted.
We have fans here who would be complaining if the UM coach was 13th in the COUNTRY in recruiting.
I'm not anti-Lane either, but the idea is certainly not as compelling to me as it was before we started to dig it. That was a f'ing hit piece. Which may not be entirely fair, but why are you a guy who people in your own state want to write hit pieces about?
