Well it’s a hair early to start firing again, pretty soon Miami will be paying or have paid just about every college coach.
How about Bat signal Lane Kiffin we buy his contract out then sign him to 5 year deal guaranteed fire him and his whole staff .
This awesome soon we’ll have to access Miamis endowment to pay all these coaches every (2) years.
Coaching at Miami is the greatest get rich scheme next to the lottery.
Your contract is bought out, sign a huge (5) year deal here get fired in (2) get paid by Miami as you coach at another school.
How can anybody beat the deal at Miami HOW??

I hope you are joking, if not, do something about your obvious crack addiction. The University endowment isn't a slush fund to hire coaches with.
It's amazing how our fans whine about Mario, and then want to bring in someone that isn't even a significant upgrade. The only thing I could count on with Lane is that the offense would be better. Outside of that, it would be the same thing, just in reverse. Defense doesn't stop anyone, Lane rarely beats teams with a pulse and recruits like crap. 7-6/8-5 isn't moving the needle regardless of coach. If Miami has to move on from Mario(Which isn't happening for another 3-5 years, barring some kind of drastic collapse), the usual names that pop up aren't the answer. For Miami to get back to national relevance, if it isn't Mario, it has to be a coach that honestly, is a hire that our football illiterate fanbase hates, that most of them have never heard of. If Miami would have hired Elko 2 years ago, this fanbase would have revolted. If the University would have hired Jedd Fisch instead of Manny, people would have hung him in effigy the day the contract was signed. Those coaching hires look to be solid hires, mostly because they are coaches with a clear understanding of what works. Elko and Fisch aren't savants, they aren't flashy, they are solid coaches that don't beat themselves, and their teams mirror that. I still have connects in Tucson from my time covering UA football, and I told them when Jedd was hired that if they gave him time, he would improve the program. Let's say that I've been getting a good amount of calls from those UA people saying "You weren't kidding, Fisch is legit, hope we can keep him".
Mario has done a lot of good in his first two years, you can see the growth on defense, in the trenches and on the recruiting trail. The question is whether he has the courage to do what needs to be done in regards to TVD, and will he go out and get a DYNAMIC QB this offseason. Honestly, this team is a decent QB away from being 7-1 or better, with a fair number of blowouts. You look at how well this team has played outside of QB, and it's living proof that if you don't have a QB, you don't have a chance. TVD is singlehandedly killing the program, it's time to pull the plug, and if Mario doesn't do it, then he's the fraud that many in our fanbase believes he is.
