Is Miami a desirable job anymore?

[Nmiamicane630]

Or are we delusional fans? We discuss names like cristobal, kiffin, leach etc..but whats make us think theyll their current situation to come here? Especially considering we cant pay more than what theyre currently making? I understand the fertile recruiting ground argument, but it isnt the 80's or 90's anymore, all the big schools seem to pluck the best talent out of south florida (there are a few exceptions).

Replace the AD and the answer is yes, very much so.

 

[Allabouttheu95]

No it’s not. Only prayer is Mario due to his ties

 

[Thommy30w]

Replace the AD and the answer is yes, very much so.

The only thing I would add is pay up.

 

[skyman]

Are we spending money? Thats what makes people interested.. Do you open the pocketbook for them and their staff, are you investing in program, etc

 

[TooColdToHold]

Not really. Not until the admin proves they are ready to go all in and play big boy football.

 

[Mackmiller974]

It's not.... You pretty much have to win immediately here or the fans will come for your head, you pair that with a lack of support from the Admins and it's not very dispersible. No one has really won here in 20 years.

 

[cyrez8]

Yes. Best high school football talent in your backyard that guarantees you to be a top 25 program with simply average coaching.

 

[Brandinho]

Perhaps not to big names but a blindly loyal fan base and being in the midst of a recruiting hotbed will always make it among the best jobs available if it’s vacant.

 

[dycane]

No, not to top tier candidates.

 

[Juanka]

Of course, we are definitely. Any good coach will win here. Aside from Richt, we have gotten the worst of the worst.

 

[RaoulDuke]

Only thing desirable is the location. The program is a shell of what it once was, and there's no reason to believe the powers that be have any interest in rebuilding it.

 

[Garnacho]

Start at the top. Clean house. Then it absolutely is. Also, yes, we’re extremely delusional

We literally couldn't have made worse HC and AD hires and we're still a middling team in the ACC.

You're asking if this is an attractive programme when even after 17 years of blokes who eat crayons being in charge we're still semi-decent? C'mon now. If we weren't Miami we'd have been buried by now.

It just takes one good HC. This job is a career changer.

Miami is in most fertile recruiting grounds.. Bring in an enthusiatic recruiter and show him you are committed to program win$$$$$ and it will happen.. Miami is known as cheap crappy mom and pop program..

 

[Firesite]

Sadly its not. The people think Mario is coming here are delusional. Be we can do a lot better than Manny Fxcking Diaz.

 

[dycane]

The biggest names aren't going to come to Miami knowing that we have no bag network in place. It's like going into a fight with one hand tied behind your back. These coaches know the name of the game. Not going to happen.

It is, but it requires a commitment from the school.

 

[5XNC]

Yes, within a 50 mile radius is the most fertile recruiting grounds. Recruit well and UM is always a good coach away from being a winning program

 

[ajkreider]

TVD and the WRs makes the job desirable.
