Rex Ryan

[Salt]

Just wanted to throw that name in the hat as a possibility. Seemed to have some ex-player support and of course ties with Ed Reed. Allegedly interested in the job after Richt retired. Certainly has a big personality and would fit in with the culture. Of course changes would need to be made with AD as well for this to have any feasibility. Name hasn't really been brought up so was wondering what you guys thought about him?

Eh I don’t see it. Smarter than manure but that shouldn’t be the bar.

Zero track record in college football, including recruiting and coaching tree.
The fact that some of our former players played for him and/or dig him should mean nothing.
In fact, our former players need to be kept as far away as possible during the hiring process.
Just get a qualified AD who has a football background or came from a strong college program and let him do his job.

Exactly.

Unless it’s Alonzo

 

[caneworld]

***** the ex-player accolades. That should be the first warning sign against them...
We don't need group therapy coordinators.. We need leaders of men.

Agree. But I got news for you - Vilma will have input on the search, sadly. Iirc he really pushed for manny

 

[JHallCanes]

It’s been brought up quite a bit actually and for the life of me I can’t figure out why

 

[motorcitycane]

We would have an elite defense.

Would be greatly concerned about the O

 

[BS85]

I don't hate it actually. He's a great defensive mind, you really can't deny that. He also had the Jets rolling for awhile, and that's apparently quite hard to do.

I think he'd do great at recruiting but you never know so that would be a gamble. I'm not saying he's amazing but i think Miami could do much, much worse.

The best part with him is you know the players would get real coaching, something that hasn't happened in 20 years.

 

[Firesite]

Hard pass.

THIS ^^^. Thank you.

No fan base can throw more **** names to the wall hoping they stick than this beloved Miami faithful.

Gruden's now available, too—send the jet! Checking tail numbers!

then need to have a strong AD who pushes back. were a traditionally mediocre program now.

Ya think? Lol

 

[TRick72]

I think we can get him at a huge discount if they tell him it’s sandal season ALL YEAR long on campus

 

[ddann]

I’ve never seen the appeal other than his last name is “Ryan.”

I’m not even sure how great of a defensive coach he really is. Coaching a defense led by Ray Lewis and Ed Reed can make a lot of mediocre coaches look fantastic.

If he’s so great then why is he in the TV booth instead of on the sidelines?
