Official “If not Mario then who?” Thread

Advertisement
Assuming the commitment level is were it needs to be and we were unable to lure Mario.

I am making a play on James Franklin…

I don’t want to see any G5, mid major type of coach with potential coming through the doors anymore.

Give me a coach that has recruited and coached at a power 5 program and has done so with success.
We'd be on probation in about 5 minutes with him here. Personally, not a fan of his anyway.

All I know is when this happens and Banda is mentioned as a HC option by some dumbass reporter I am going to spam the 💩 out of them on twitter
 
Chadwell would be a risky hire from cultural standpoint. I'm not saying he would fail, but make no mistake, he has a taste for the Moglia Way, and it is unlike anything seen at Miami.

Without top cover from AD, the changes he would bring is going to break a ton of glass.


Also, I believe he was kinda sorta involved in a scandal-ish at his previous stop. College of Charleston or Charleston Southern or whats-their-nuts.
What’s their nuts😅😂😂😂😂
 
Mario
Hugh Freeze
Billy Napier

Those are my top 3

Wild card
Lane Kiffin… don’t even have to explain


Disappointing
Schiano
Temple Hc who that is right now
Clay Helton
Gus MALZAHN

Go ahead and look away. He’s not capable of putting together an offense that would satisfy us. He’s the right type of guy, mentality wise, but not as a head coach. He’s all about run defense, and good at it, but not great against the pass.

I know WVU as a program has a ceiling, but I think he does as well.

Lemme just also say I don’t think there are many legitimate names out there like people hope for

Our track record dictates how I feel about this
 
Some of you guys live in fantasy land... why would James Franklin leave PSU for Miami? Why would Lane leave SEC country for Miami? The only reason Mario would leave is because he would want to come home to his alma mater.
People are saying Demeco Ryans and Eric Bienemy ffs

Used to be.

However, both JJ and Erickson took over a program that had won a NC the year before (JJ, from Schnelly), and Erickson (4-year 44-4, '87 NC JJ team). Only Butch rebuilt the program, after a few seasons of Erickson's poor recruiting and crippling NCAA sanctions. This is not a dig at JJ or DE, just the truth of their timing.

Miami needs a program rebuilder, IMO
JJ & Erickson had no pro experience when arriving here.
Shellenberger & Saban did..
 
This is solely for the possibility that Mario either turns it down, takes the USC gig, or the price is just too high.


1) Bill Clark

3 C-USA West titles, 2 conference championships, and he’s never had a losing record in CFB. In fact, he’s 43-23 at UAB who a year before he got there was 2-10. He’s even 11-4 on the FCS level. Basically Bill wins. That’s all he does. Hire him and surround him with recruiters and this very team is probably a 11 game winner.

2) Billy Napier

He’s a spark plug and maybe the jolt we need even though he’s a bit unproven which in my opinion isn’t a worry because of where he comes from before being an HC. Recruiting obviously is not a worry here. He used to be Saban’s preferred hit man for those who don’t remember.

3) Hugh Freeze

We all know who this is and we all know he’ll get the job done but questions with him is 1) would he be able to take us back to national power status or would be just short of that and 2) would the BOT make the call.


4) Jamey Chadwell

Resume isn’t as strong as Bill’s but other than his 1 year stint at Delta State he’s won everywhere he’s gone but he’s too new to FBS for me.

5) Lane Kiffin

He would take the job in a heart beat but I don’t think he’ll value defense enough that it’ll be dominate. I don’t care much foot ball has changed. Defense will always matter more than Offense


A name would be unpopular: Ken Dorsey

In Ken’s defense, it’s basically a fore gone conclusion that whenever Brian DaBoll take an HC job that he would become the Bills OC. UF loves to call Mullen a QB whisperer but if that’s the case then Ken is a QB Sensai with the work he did with Cam and Josh. They would ha e to surround him recruiters for sure but I wouldn’t be surprised if we heard his name.


It's never going to be Freeze and it's never going to be Kiffin. At least stick to realistic candidates, not scratch-and-dent specials.

Pederson? Dougie P? I like him. What you think @Cribby @PIPO

I think he wants to stay in NFL. I could be wrong. Don’t like how it went from great to bad rather quickly with him.
 
I’ve made my stance on Mario known for years. I would support him if he was hired — like I’ve done with every new UM coach — but I think we can do better.

I would like to state for the record that Mark Stoops, Lane Kiffen, and Gary Patterson are all names we should consider.
 
realistically outside of Mario.. it’s Bill O’Brien, Mark Stoops, or Gus Malzahn I think Miami goes with a more established HC.
