Official “If not Mario then who?” Thread

[Genghis Cane]

Quite honestly, I wouldn't hate Dave Clawson. I would've been happier to see what he could do than Manny.

Wake looks good…I’m not sure our fan base would be patient enough for him, though.

Mark Stoops

 

[OldhamA]

Underrated pick

The last thing we need is an unproven HC. Give me someone that's won at multiple programmes.

 

[MiamiChris]

Honestly if we go the college route and it’s not Mario I’d really like to see us go for a offensive stud coach instead of a guy focused on D.

Al, Randy and Manny all D guys

Mark Stoops

Guy has a proven track record of doing more with less in the best conference in football, and he has ties to Miami. He should be the first call. You know you’re getting a proven commodity if he takes over.

Todd Bowles

Find me a recent coordinator that won a Super Bowl. It worked for Shnelly and Butch.

If that doesnt work, Mike Gundy would be a Jimmy Johnson play.

Ok Byron Leftwich

That's pretty much what @Canes Legacy said when @crossover22[]_[] initially suggested it. It would be rough times around here until the W's started piling up.

Back brinks truck up for urban. I'll take 5 or 6 years of domination before he's "too stressed"

 

[loeTed92]

Wild card is Joe Brady. Outside of Mario that would be a offseason W for Miami public relations

 

[Bipolarcane]

Miami had made it a science to hire coaches that get the least of out of their talent. We need to hire people that do the opposite. Let’s get a proven coach who is not burnt out and has a lot to give.

Whether it’s fair or not, whoever is hired will have 2 years to show dramatic improvement. The first year will be a grace year, but then it will get ugly real fast if we drop a couple games.

 

[305wave]

Banda, or Rex Ryan or frank ponce

 

[MiamiChris]

Anthony Lynn.

Random pipe dream NFL guys, Kliff Kingsbury in Miami or Brian Flores if either team has a bad year

 

[sdaly12]

need an overhaul of AD dept.without this you will get some retread, current AD would be incapable of hiring a true HC who can get it done
Blake and Carol must GO....... No decent candidate will emerge till those 2 *** hats are history

 

[bacane]

A disciplinarIan. Somebody, that if you commit a dumb penalty, he rips your head off on tv and skull f*cks you. Greg Schiano or Bill O’Brien. I am tired of nice guy coaches.

That's why Kiffin and Freeze are non-starters. Can't handled their own personal junk & no way the board or whoever runs the show signs off.

Miami needs a "professional coach," not a BS guy who dreamed of one day being a college coach, never played a down and lost all credibility after being embarrassed by the likes of Butch Davis and Mack Brown. Like everyone else, Mario C. should be top of the list. But would he leave an Oregon program for Miami, unless he's welcomed home as the savior with a fat check and the right to pick his AD?

So, if Mario isn't interested, it breaks down to leading possibilities from two categories. Any one of them would be an upgrade.

Rising college coaches
Neal Brown
Billy Napier
Luke Fickell


Pro/college experience
Bill O'Brien
Doug Marone
Dan Quinn

[Dwinstitles]

Freeze or Butch no one else. I know people trust Lane but I just don't trust the dude and I cant pencil why....just a gut feeling.

Carrol or Schiano ain't bad.

 

[Dwinstitles]

No to Ken Fuqin Dorsey stop that bs Jesus these fans don't learn. He would fail miserably here stop just fuqin stop the madness. Need someone to lock up sfla elites like common sense Benni Blades says. Holy **** fans are blind af. We don't have massive amount of first rounder because guess what? They aren't first rounders and if u put a bama uniform on them guess what? They aren't first rounders

 

[MiamiChris]

Butch would be such a Miami thing. He’s 69 years old and is 24-23 at FIU. I wanted him so bad whe. We hired Richt but that was like 7 years ago
