Miami Hires Former OL Joel Rodriguez

[Fountain of Canes]

### Joel Rodriguez, a standout offensive lineman on the Hurricanes from 2000 to 2004, informed local high school football coaches tonight that he's taking a job at UM.

According to a source, he's expected to replace Ryan McNamee as director of player development. NcNamee recently resigned. Rodriguez has been working as Fordham's offensive line coach and run game coordinator at Fordham.

Wonder why McNamee resigned.... Hes one of Goldens originals

 

[nycane]

golden has turned this into a more miami staff lately.

 

[RickyDaKing]

The more ex Miami guys on the staff the better. The understand what it takes to win

Golden thinks he's the smartest person in the room! This ain't nothing but another opportunity to win over Canes fans, former players and loyalist. By appointing a former Cane to an essentially meaningless non-coaching position it makes, like some instantly did here, think he's returning the program to people who have toiled here. In fact his poisonous pacifism and lack of football guile still permeates the program like a rioting carcass under the seats of a car, windows rolled up in the South Florida summertime sun. This program needs a General not a empathizing Princess of a man! I'll be impressed when he hires Butch to coordinate the defense and make player personnel decisions and Chud as offensive coordinator. Otherwise fire his *** at a prep rally in front of the U with invitations to all!

Amen brother. I doubt Chud would take OC but Butch would do just fine. With Butch as DC and recruiting Czar I can live with Al another year. As it stands, we still have a nole as OC and shower monitors kittens as HC and DC.

my friend who played with joel a bit said "great hire"

 

[Cane Dynasty]

What a fantastic hire! Between Beard and Joel I can see us winning 10-12 games this year.

There are 2?! Now I can't remember if I ever talked **** to one, both or neither.

 

[NVA CANE]

Until golden changes his philosophy in what he looks for in players it won't matter. Remember the video of Dorito referencing a temple player in an effort to overrule Hurlie on whether to recruit a safety or not.

It doesn't matter who is on staff as long as golden keeps looking for jersey coal shovelers that weigh 500 pounds.

His coaching bio shows he can produce at each level he has been. He has produced a few all Americans and All League players during his coaching tenure.

Here is his Fordham Bio
Fordham University Rams Athletics - 2013 Football Coaching Staff

But in the end I am sure he is glad to be back in Miami after a few years in Smithfield, RI and then a few more in the Bronx.

Go Canes

FCS All-American OL transfer from Fordham says he'll play at Florida

Not many Power Five teams have been in more dire need for quality offensive line bodies than Florida. Fortunately for the Gators, one such body is apparently on its way.

Former Fordham offensive tackle Mason Halter announced Tuesday on his Instagram account that he will take a graduate transfer to Florida and spend his final season of collegiate eligibility with the Gators. Halter was named a first-team FCS All-American by The Sports Network following the 2014 season and earned second team honors in 2013.

Halter had expected to go to Old Dominion for his graduate senior season, even signing scholarship papers with the Monarchs, but a Florida offer extended in early May changed things, he told the Virginian-Pilot.

“I think the coaches at ODU were a little upset, and I don't blame them,” Halter said. “I signed an agreement and went back on my word a bit.

“But this was a great opportunity. I could not turn it down.”

Florida has not yet confirmed Halter's transfer. On paper, the 6-foot-8, 300-pound Ohio native could have an opportunity for an immediate spot on the Gators' two-deep -- at a minimum. Jim McElwain's team finished its spring drills with only six healthy scholarship offensive linemen, numbers the first-year coach labeled "insufficient."
