They better be on top of things and putting out feelers right away.
If we have no coach when the dead period ends we are ***ked.
I am sure coaches are calling into the U now.
LMAO, yeah, just like they were when we canned Randy right??
People VASTLY overestimate the attractiveness of this job. This is NOT an attractive job. It pays cr@p, the fan base sucks, and were going to be on NCAA probation.
Not sure why people havent learned after the last two "hiring processes" that we arent getting some big name coach. The guys calling here may be agents for the coach at NIU, Cristobal, and some NFL coordinators.
Think about this, there were College coordinators who pretty much laughed at us last time.
No, it is people like you that are so negative that VASTLY underrate the head coaching position at the University of Miami. It is a top 10 job in the country and any coach that is smart can see that. The football program sits in the greatest wealth of high school talent in the country. A coach that knows what they are doing can come to Miami and win multiple titles by harnessing this talent and cherry picking from around the country. Furthermore, if a coach is worried about a fanbase, then he probably sucks *** anyway.
Not only that, Miami has a unique quality in the bond between former players and the university. And Miami has a certain mystique about it. Miami is different than any other football program... The Alabamas, Michigans, Nebraskas, etc... of college football are great programs and can dominate at times but they are your old,stuffy traditional style programs. When Miami is dominant, they are badasses that strike fear into the opponents and scare the **** out of the traditional powers. No other program has that quality. Sure, Miami is down right now and the mystique lays dormant, but all it takes is the right coach to come along wake up the sleeping giant.
Finally, why the obsession with hiring a "big name" coach??? Why not be obsessed with hiring the best coach possible? I don't care if the coach comes from NIU or Arkansas State, the only thing that matters is if they are best coach for Miami.
