Absolutely. If Miami gets serious about football it is entirely possible. Clemson wasn't a big money program when they hired Dabo. They weren't pouring millions into recruiting and facilities. Dude was on the verge of being fired in year 3. As a matter of fact, the program was in the red. Clemson was all built on Dabo's elite recruiting abilities until he matched up the talent with a great OC and DC. If he doesn't hire a relatively unknown OC from Tulsa, Dabo is unemployed right now. He just had an eye for building a staff and recruiting.
Richt was appallingly bad at building a good staff. Horrendous. Yet an uninspired Richt had Miami undefeated and #2 going into the last game of the regular season. After Golden, 95% of posters were saying Miami would never win 10 games again.
Miami can right the ship quickly with a smart AD who picks the right head coach, who picks a good staff.
Personally, I'd hire Les Miles as he has changed his philosophy on offense. As far as I can tell, he has no Achilles heel anymore.
Going to the Big 12 looks like it woke him up.
You know Miles will bring the defense.
With him aggressively seeking a top notch offense, he would get players to sign.
We would have a hard time doing better for the price.
