Guys, there is no ****ing chance that a Briles or Patterson come here. We have to get those types before they're regarded as elite coaches by everyone. Didn't Briles turn down UT? Why would he come here? And Patterson will be on every short list going forward. This job is a tough sell with the stadium issue. Need to find a Patterson type before on the way up. We tried with Golden and failed miserably.

Or you decide that you are serious about football and make them refuse you. I find it very hard to believe that either coach wouldn't come here, if offered a handsome salary.

Save me the bull**** that we can't afford them.

The longer we have fans beating the "oh woe is Miami, we can't have nice coaches" the longer it will in fact remain a reality.

It is not only about offering a head-coach a nice salary package these days.
It is about offering very generous budget for assistants, commitments to facility improvements
every year, on-campus stadium, etc......schools like TCU and Baylor are very pro-active
in those departments....UM is nowhere close.
Times have changed.
This isn't the 1980s where coaches would jump at for primarily football reasons.
They are looking at the school and the level of commitment on all fronts.

It has nothing to do with us fans screaming "woe is me"...

All Patterson had to do was not blow a 21 point lead in the 4th to Baylor and he is in the picture. I think both Baylor and TCU curb stomp their bowl opponents. Patterson is a god at TCU and is payed well. Why risk all of that and come to Miami?

Exactly.
He has the better job.
