New Coach Poll

[TheWhiskeyMiser]

Anyone but....

 

[RVACane]

Roosuseu, Bolden, King, Avantae, need I go on...he has done well with the portal and has been complimented for his use of the portal so criticizing his recruiting is a lame argument....everyone acknowledges our talent or do they over estimate expectations? We've seen the new kids and they are good with the same coaches...think about it, recycle or take a chance. Get rid of Patke, hire a quality DC, trust new talent and watch. Also improve any assistant via the new money.

Part of the learning curve, not tobe wasted

Fraggle… aside from what I’ve already stated, Diaz has a defense that’s one of the worst in the country. We have a top 3 in the country in terms of a returning veteran team and we might not make a bowl. He has losses to FIU, Louisiana Tech or whoever the **** that was and now to the worst FSU team in a zillion years.

It’s time.

Because I firmly believe Luke Fickell will have Saban-like results with a major-conference team when he eventually moves on from Cincinnati, I'd just as soon that be to Miami.

We could do much worse than the Fickell finger of Fate, and I won't mention the Force in deference to Luke.

 

[Baba Yaga]

fraggle is Manny Sr.

 

[Eric The Midget]

This poll is sooo yesterday. Can OP make a new poll daily?

 

[LatinCane]

Give me a NFL coach. Be here 5 years then bail. Doug Pedersen is available. Super Bowl winning coach....just saying....

 

[2xbamm]

Mario 1, Clawson 2, Herman 3 for me.

Can I ask what's the fascination with THerman?

 

[2xbamm]

By the way:

Mario Cristobal Overall coaching record: 61–58

Thanks Fraggle........for bringing perspective. I mean, I like Mario but I don't think he is a "can't miss" selection for Miami.

Wow! I read through 7 pages and 122 posts before someone with real football knowledge chimes in with LUKE FICKELL!
He would absolutely crush it at Miami and would rape the ACC every year. I think he brings "instant" change even with current players and will recruit better players because they would want to be part of the fun.

The coaching search should be LUKE FICKELL

I choose Mario before Lane. Lane hasn’t won anything, ever.

Though at the end of the day, I question if either chooses us.

Lane won C-USA 2 out of the 3 years he was at FAU. In 2011, USC won the Pac12 South (went 10-2 with 51 scholarship players) but couldn't play due to ncaa sanctions. Would they have beaten Oregon for the second time in the Pac12 championship game? Hard to say but they were ranked #18 and beat #4 Oregon 38-35 at Autzen in the regular season.

This season is an interesting comparison. According to ESPN, Ole Miss is rated higher (13) in the FPI index than Oregon (19). Even though they are 8-2, they have played the 12th most difficult schedule in cfb, compared to Oregon having the 29th hardest schedule. Ole Miss is also higher in overall efficiency rating. Granted, Oregon may make the playoffs but Kiffin has arguably done a better coaching job given the schedule to this point.

 

[Cknucks305]

Stoops, the coach who is actually building a program, from basically nothing.

If we got either of Mario, lane or stoops I would be happy. But we gotta get a legit ad as well.

 

[Gregcane]

I like Napier over all the other options with Mario second due to the recruiting benifit.

 

[miamicanephins]

Is this really building a program 54 - 53 over 9 seasons? 30-17 over the past 5 years? 20-14 over the past 3 years? Please don't try to convince me that UM fans would tolerate this kind of performance, never going to happen. His first three years, 12-24 and Manny is 19-15 in the same time period. This is not an argument to keep Manny, it's a statement of reality that UM would never give Mark Stoops 5 years, or 4 years with this performance. Recruiting classes from 2018-2021 were ranked 37, 34, 25 and 34. Stoops has done less with less, but a legitimate question about his ability to recruit exists. He's a good guy, not just the right guy.

I'm aware of his record and the time it's taken.

But you've got to understand where he's at and the support the he's had. Even now he has no real skill players, the qb is average, rb's average and there is one legit wr. UK has no history of attracting those type of players or putting players into the league.

He won't have those issues at UM and therefore, it won't take that long to build. His biggest challenge at UM will be to build the O and D lines/ defense, which is exactly what he has done at UK.

I like the fact that he has been there 9 years building a program, UM needs that type of stability. But don't get caught up on the rebuild time, it won't take that long at UM at all, no way.

Mario…if for no other reason than he can shut off S. Fla and if he can do that and keep the studs here that alone will improve the program 10 fold.

Convince me he builds something here. We all know he can call plays and elevate the O - what's the culture like at his programmes? What's the recruiting, evaluation and development like?

 

[MainLineCane]

I honestly don't think we're going to get anyone on this list..I just want someone who's a winner

We're always a day late and a dollar short...and currently our breath isn't fresh so it's hard getting to have serious discussions with anyone with options

But I was wrong about one thing last decade too ...so anything's possible

 

[Katzenboyer]

Can I ask what's the fascination with THerman?

Texas is a trainwreck (program is incredibly political) and he still won four bowl games (including a NY6). Also had a 13-1 season at Houston, beat FSU in a bowl game that year, and comes from the Meyer tree.

 

[Katzenboyer]

Also recruited top 5 classes at Texas.
