Confirmed RB Coach Tim Harris Jr

[Jassid82]

Great hire. Mario tried the whole “all star team” staff and it flopped terribly. Switch it up and go in a different direction this time. Young and/or hungry guys who all have something to prove. Chips on there shoulder. No more guys seeing this job as a pre-retirement gig. Come here to work.

Also, gotta have a local guy who is respected on a UM coaching staff. Sorry you just have to. Welcome to South Florida politics. You don’t like it? Go root for Bama. This is the way it is. Harris Jr was the perfect hire and he has the credentials to boot. So win-win.

Just happy he didn’t hire mastro

Or Arroyo

 

[Cribby]

Was Manny's last rb coach in the running?

He wanted to be

Where is Chaminade located? (I’m not local)

It’s Hollywood,fl … I’m within walking distance from from the school.

 

[Brooklyndee]

which Harris was that

His brother as a player(Brandon) & his pops as a coach. For the poster who laughed about the comment dude made about he should basically be able to hand pick Dade county running backs now, I'm sorry but that's pretty much correct. His family is royalty down here in youth football especially out the city.

Ummm, we have 3 or 4 of those guys on this staff especially if you include Cooney.

How do you know this?

Maybe he just wasnt mentally equipped to leave the state. Some birds wont fly far from the nest. Thats why he had to rely on UM alumn to hire him at 2/3 jobs.

 

[Empirical Cane]

How did his son not end up a cane?

Because he is a slow midget with stiff hips and hands of stone.

Near Madonna Mountain.

It seems like they’re hiring some good, younger up and coming hungry coaches on both sides of the ball. Have any of these guys ever worked together before with the Coordinators and if not do you think that’s an issue?

 

[RVACane]

Because he is a slow midget with stiff hips and hands of stone.

Lol. No.

He insisted on being a QB and we said no - I think we wanted him as an athlete or WR???? He went to the gator as a QB and was horrific.

 

[423Hurricane]

Yeah I’ve been there and there’s not a whole lot to do in Salem, VA

He’s from Gate City about 10 miles from the TN border and Kingsport, TN.

 

[mirvin88]

Not going to lie, I doubted he would go in this direction but I’m glad he proved me wrong.

Dare I ask who was the perceived front runner?

 

[RVACane]

He’s from Gate City about 10 miles from the TN border and Kingsport, TN.

He’s an ETSU lock.

You talking support staff. We didn’t have one guy on the actual staff who was black (yeah I said it), and had local ties. Yeah I went there. But I’m glad Mario saw it. He didn’t need “you know who” to tell him. He saw it and addressed it. And he got a guy who actually deserved and earned it.

 

[423Hurricane]

He’s an ETSU lock.

He actually went to Georgetown and then transferred to Texas Tech. In HS, he broke Allen Iverson’s VHSL scoring record in 5 less games. He’s been playing mostly in the NBA’s G league for 2 years now.

 

[Zombie-Cane]

I'll take my L on the wrong Tim Harris but i'm walking away with the nepotism W.

Perhaps just walk away.....

 

[canegrad]

Or the other guy who wanted it. And I'm not talking about Lockette.

Not able to name this other guy?

 

[jakeman1]

Wonder if Dawson had any input in the hire.

 

[TheOriginalCane]

I don’t think we can make it “official” yet.

Can we use the F$U spelling?
