" The very familair name is current Miami running backs coach Kevin Smith. I am told there is some level of interest in returning to Ole Miss and that Smith's wife never moved from Oxford to join her husband in Miami. So, she and the family remain in Oxford and that would seem like a draw for Smith to return."

Boy Mario really fkd up his initial hiring process. Hopefully he had a change in philosophy this time. All his key hires are gone except his bff who should be limbless right now.

So this was the safety net, huh?

Completely cleaning out the offensive staff and D doesn't look like its far behind. When Feldman said there was a lot of dead weight on the staff, that wording didn't come out randomly.

Is this a result of cleaning out dead weight or is this a position that DAwson wants his guy for?

I always had good impressions of KS and thought he did well both on the field as coach and off the field as a recruiter.

This is what the big leagues look like. Lots of changes will be going on nearly every year.

I hope that in the future it is primarily b/c they are leaving for promotions, not b/c we have to keep firing under performing coaches. I know it's normal for the big programs to let people go, but I don't think any of them are firing 50%+ of their staff each year.

I think I know what you mean, but holy **** do I hope this is really not what the "big leagues" look like. Changes because of positive growth are great. These changes almost all stem from other reasons.

Agreed. This year, the changes were due to change in strategy. Plus, if you do not perform (especially in recruiting), i get the impression Mario isn't easy to work for.

I base my previous post on Mario's history with his staff and what Bama (the blueprint Mario is following) does. Hopefully, we will be giving coordinators HC jobs because we are performing on the field and winning big games, soon.

Edit: I do not think anyone not named Miribal is safe. So hang on to your butts.

Wasn't one of selling point of smith coming so family could be close in south Florida and grandma could see kids and such.. I think it makes more sense that if u get blown out at home by mtsu that heads roll.. Mario is god son right now so everyone else gets blame even tho he had unlimited budget to hire everyone
 
This one is a bit out of left field as Smith seemed to fit what Mario has been looking for - young, proven, great recruiter with FL ties. ****, year 1 was such a ****e show with the roster and coaches. Unreal.
