There are two types of coaches out there: "players coaches" and ********. Owners, players, and boosters love "players coaches." They can't stand ********. Jimmy Johnson was an *******. Butch Davis was an *******.
Miami needs an ******* coach.
We need a mean, miserable, alpha-dog sonofabitch who wakes up every single morning ****ed off for no reason. Someone who will do ANYTHING, and I mean ANYTHING, to win. Someone who won't be a "yes-man" to anybody, including the BOT or university president. Someone with a real stick up their ***.
We need great position coaches who are teachers before they are recruiters. Position coaches with long track records of sending kids to the NFL. We don't need former players, and we don't need former GA's who are learning on the job. We need real, proven professionals.
Finally, Miami needs to run schemes that fit the kind of players we can recruit down here. I would keep Manny Diaz as DC, and get an innovative spread guy for OC.
