since deleted but i'd guess we were one of those schools trying for the TE coach + partial recruiter of that #1 class.

While Savage recruited well at Colorado State for 3 years that gave him that rep, he is not what I hope we are looking for. USC bought that #1 class, completely. They over paid for it and didn't need recruiters. If this is the future, Miami will probably never have a top 3 class. We may overpay for a certain player, but never a whole class.
This new college landscape is already deep into the thick of recruiting. Visits are being setup across the board. Everyone got a jump on us because of our late run. Pete's passion in debating can get the best of him at times, but I agree with him on this. DMoney reeks of coach speak on this one. I am also more concerned with a CB coach then TE or RB coach. Hope this is it.

I’m not too concerned about the DB coach, I trust Hetherman, Taylor and Mario to identify someone who they can mesh and build with.

Not concerned about RB coach - with Mario and Mirabel coaching up that Oline, rb coaches should be salivating about coaching up guys to run behind their lines.

TE coach on the other hand, is the one I’m not concerned with as much as I’m interested in. At the moment, TEs have never been a big part of Dawson’s offense, going back to his UH days (the ONE season of Arroyo aside). I think we got a couple of guys that can be the next Arroyo (looking at Briggs specifically), but developing needs to be a big trait in the new guy.

That’s my take as well. Not worried in the slightest about the TE or RB vacancies. Both Mirabel and Beard can assist the new TE coach (if necessary) with blocking techniques and route running, respectively.

Similarly, I’m not worried about the RB coach. That position is more about recruiting than development. You can’t teach speed, instincts, or vision. Sure, the coach can help with protections, but the RB coach is predominantly there to recruit and must have a great feel for rotating backs and feeding the hot hand. Two things Merritt excelled at.

Now the vacant CB coach is much more concerning. I agree with Pete that we need to make sure we address that vacancy sooner, rather than later.

For someone who talks tough, I've never seen someone get so soft and emotional than Pete during the last pod about coaching searches My god man.
 
I'm happy these guys are all elevating their own resumes for sure but let's not forget that Mario isn't an easy guy to work for either. His reputation is known. The turnover and lack of continuity on his staffs will probably always be pretty high except for the lifers/diehard Miami guys. Not everybody is cut out for Mario's grind and working for him will always be a stepping stone job for some guys. It's reality but can be a good problem to have if executed right.

Despite Jason Taylor being a huge asset on the coaching staff, I don’t think he has that much pull to determine who’s the next defensive back coach will be

Normally, I’d agree. But if there’s any truth to him being groomed to be a DC at some point in the future, then this would be a great opportunity to bring him into this process…
