No, there are plenty of coaches who could win at UM right now.
The thing that makes Butch so attractive is that he has the local street cred that will allow him to begin the turn around immediately. Moreover, I believe he can be had 'on the cheap.' That will allow UM to pay off golden while having Butch only making Randy Shannon dollars and have no buyout.
100%. Correct. If miami wants to play the " we do t have no money to buy out golden and pay for a new guy" card look no further than Butch davis. You can pay him a mil or so and pay for that ***** golden while miami builds another dynasty by year 3 tops.
Butch Davis
Mario Cristobal - how do we know he didn't come in, see how bad things were being run, and get out while he could?
Lane Kiffin
Ice Harris
Bill Clark (UAB) - C-USA coach of the year
No but we know he can and will accept.
I think Kyle Whittingham would do it too.
And your thoughts on Schiano?
I'm having a hard time thinking of anyone worth a **** that we can pull given our cheap administration. Cristobal is a **** traitor and can't be trusted. Mark Stoops has a better job at UK, and Chud is too smart to comeback to this mess. Meanwhile Butch is literally DYING to save the U....it pains his heart to see the program in this state and he wants to right all wrongs before walking off into the sunset. This is the most frustrating part....Butch is right there for the taking...on his hands and knees screaming "Please Take Me Back!!" but our sissified leadership doesn't want to hurt the feelings of one Alfred Grohlden.
This is why the U will never be back. The majority of the funds we are able to get goes to academics to raise our scholastic profile. BOT doesn't want to be known as a football school anymore....they want to be Princeton. No stadium, tougher application for student athletes, no money for elite facilities and no money to pay for quality assistant coaches = the final curtain for Miami football.
We are UNLV basketball.

He'd be my fourth or fifth choice depending on nfl firings.
But I'm only listing coaches not at other schools so w no buyout.
If you want me to include coaches at other schools who I think we could afford I'd go
Butch
Rich Rod (? Not sure what his contract is now)
Whittingham
Chud
Depends on our price range though
If we are going to $4M then I would not consider Schiano at all

Case for Schiano. Coached here, and was highly regarded by the administration. Has good relationships with the south florida HS coaching community. Is a tough no nonsense coach. Plays an aggressive 4/3 defense that kids in South Florida would want to play in.
Seeing how Butch's game plan in the Bowl Game was to get the ball Clive Walford, I'm not sure he's the best choice.
But - he's better than Golden and maybe the best we can get.
I don't want to fire Golden only to find out no one wants the job, and make another lateral hire.
