Luke coached under both Jim Tressel and Urban Meyer, both of whom were great college coaches. Luke is a very good recruiter and an even better evaluator of talent. You may not be aware that, in high school, Luke was a three-time, UNDEFEATED, state wrestling champion in Ohio. Luke is a hardass, hardcore, competitor and he would turn you guys around FAST! He'd be the next coach at Ohio State except that Ryan Day is there and isn't going anywhere for the foreseeable future. I personally would love to see Luke in Miami because I think he would feast on the plethora of mediocre teams in the ACC. I have no idea if Luke would accept if offered but I think it would be a great fit.

I’ve gotten the feeling that he was waiting for an Ohio State type job. We’ve fallen back a good bit from where we were. I’m not sure how in demand this job will be right now. I think a lot will depend on getting rid of the AD and who comes in as AD.
 
I'm not sure how this would look to SoFL recruits:

2017 NFL Draft
6th Round S

2018 NFL Draft
7th Round OT

2019 NFL Draft
7th Round DT

2020 NFL Draft
3rd Round TE

2021 NFL Draft
4th Round OT
5th Round S
7th Round S

Is 2022 loaded for Cincy???

I want a coach that’s been in the P5. Miss me with that ND win being impressive as well. They almost lost to FSU and Tulane before that

Obviously he wouldnt stay here more than 5 years but he would have us built up for the next HC. He would wax the floor with the Coastal.
 
He was an elite recruiter at Ohio State... when Urban Meyer was there. I dont think he's gonna walk in and sell kids on Miami, just dont.

What he did in recruiting at Houston was almost a miracle, he also identified King who had a superstar season for them. At Texas he had a run of I wanna say #3, #3, and #8. I went through his coaching record and games... 5-0 in bowls and like 16-3 with time to prepare... almost no one thumps him ever. Except for 2 losses he was within 10 points and more often than not it if he lost it was by a FG or in OT.

He's a better fit here than Texas I agree

I'm ok with Fickel but he needs a killer support staff. He seems to dry of a personality for Miami. Almost Joe Paterno like.
