What are the qualifications required to hire a coach exactly?

I wanted Danny White as AD and Josh Heuple as head coach. When that didn't happen, I wanted Nark Stoops. Are those bad choices?

More experience than flipping burgers at McDonald’s? I’d say Rudy has hired more professionals than any 10 people combined that frequent this site - including myself.

How many coaches in any sport has Rudy Fernandez ever hired.

He wouldn't even know where to begin.

And, Rad didn't hire Mario. Not sure why you even brought him up.

How many have you hired? Seriously, what qualify’s yourself to question whether or not Rudy is qualified or not?

Stoops coached dbs at Miami, he doesn't even pretend to know offense. His last two ocs at UK were ex NFL guys.

The fact he's got a stud at running back, Rodriguez and a qb who's going to get drafted from UK is impressive. Skill players are wanting to play for him.

Mario? Skill guys are running from him.

Mario needs to become open-minded to what works now and hire an OC like that accordingly and be a CEO/ Recruiter/ Orgeron type of HC. If he does that he’ll be successful at UM and people will learn to love him

UHealth is footing the bill, so there's that. Also, I didn't see any criticism of any of his other job functions in the OP.

He’s led public relations communication up until recently, hasn’t had anything to do with Uhealth management or ops as far as I can tell.

I hear what you're saying, but we're talking about hiring a coach. How many football coaches does a typical AD hire during their career?

The fact that there is so much turn over in the coaching rank tells me it's not an exact science and most of the ADs do not know more than a knowledgeable fan as it relates to hiring a coach.

But once again, Miami did not do a proper search, the money got behind their guy and here we are.

I'm very glad the money is flowing and hope there is enough to build a great team, but it hasn't worked for atm to date.

This guy and the rest of the administration needs to go. They don’t do their due diligence to do a coaching search. We’ve done this twice in a row where we don’t interview any coaches and just go right ahead and hire who they think can turn around the program. Rad should’ve been hired and he should’ve done the search for the next HC. Instead Rudy Fernandez gets on the Orange Bowl Boys podcasts and they hang on his nuts on how he hired a home run coach. Then they hire an AD. It’s incompetence. When will we hire someone that has no Florida ties and is an Xs n Os head coach. We need the best OC in the country, get Ruiz to be behind and support the program. Not give some ultimatum if we hire Mario, we will finally open the checkbooks. It’s all BS and we still have a bunch of amateurs running this program. Now we got a coach that he will purge the roster because he is stubborn and wants to do things his way and you got these morons backing them up. Next year it will be worse. *drops mic*

You lost me at "we should have the best OC in the country".

Says who? Why should a program that's light years behind other programs these past two decades be worth of "the best OC in the country"—again, another fan with THEIR perception of what the University of Miami should be (based on ancient history) verse what is.

This program has been a dumpster fire for two decades and all Miami's top brass wanted to do was bring in the guy who they knew would rebuild this thing a certain way and would be in for the long haul to do so.

They weren't going to bring in Lane Kiffin to polish the **** that was Diaz / Lashee and a finesse spread offense. The want to build a tough-in-the-trenches winner that can look like Georgia and one that can win championships; not a fugazi like Mark Richt's little 10-0 team that embarrassed and obliterated by tougher teams (Clemson, Wisconsin) when the post-season was underway.

Lincoln Riley and his fancy little offense (with no defense) at USC; what is THAT team really going to do in the Playoffs. Ever. Unless he also becomes Pete Carroll and starts caring about a Pac-12 defense.

Riley. Kiffin. Mike Leach. Steve Sarkasian. These are all programs built on a sand, while Mario is putting in the work to build a program on solid rock.

This is more tedious, this will take longer but it will endure and be built to last. Downside; a year like this in 2022, a total purge in 2023, the semblance of a program year three and seeing things work and then by 2024 you have a competitive football team.

Either buckle in for the long run, or find a new team—but ****ing and moaning after every game, or retroactively going back to the "they needed to conduct a real search" argument is asinine.

Great, they have a search and get a big name guy the fans want and then that guy gets a better off in three years and leaves Miami at square one again.

The thing they identified as most important was an architect and builder who is vested in the process and is in for the long haul—as the only thing more detrimental than what this program is going through now would be a guy who started righting the ship and then bailed out for a better offer.

There is no "better offer" for Mario Cristobal than the University of Miami. He wants to have a Saban-like run here. He's building culture—which some of y'all are treating like Golden's empty suit "trust the process"—but Mario actually built culture in Oregon and it was working. His lack of a quarterback last year cost them a Pac-12 title (that position worsening after a road upset at #3 Ohio State last fall.)

Enough with the pointless could've, should've, would've nonsense and start seeing this thing for what is really is—a teardown and rebuild of two decades of broken ways. Buckle in or put your head in the sand for the next two years, as it's going to be tough sledding—but it will get there.

Yeah, here were are ... in year one with a head coach that is tearing down and old regime and building a culture; a house of rock solid foundation and not sand or chasing fool's gold.

Too many of y'all with this "well, here we are" as if't is not year one for a program that averaged 7-5 annually for the past 16 seasons.

You're right, that's Echevarria. I just remember both being involved in the upheaval and got them mixed.

There are countless variables that go into any hire - especially a head football coach at a P5 program. There are countless examples of hiring failures by people who supposedly know a lot about these things (think Harsin at Auburn as a recent example). Since none of us have a say in the hiring process, the best we can hope for is that those that have the power to make hiring decisions know WTF they’re doing.

But what to do about it? Do people really think firing Mario isn't going to lead to the same crap next year with yet another new coach?

This guy wants someone who isn't even the AD fired.

I think its bc frenk thanked Rudy 1000 Times when they hired Mario and made him the face of the football hiring.
