Season Ends Friday and No new Super Coach Butch Now Candid

If UM doesn't have a coach before the dead period ... Good chance you lose Jack Allison .. Zach McCloud, Patrick Bethel and Sam Bruce... I've been told that the coach is more important than any recruit .. so we take those 4 loses as collateral damage (that would be CRAZY IMO)... Hire or Announce before dead period .., If You wait that means you are hiring somebody who is not available now.

I'd take Chip Kelly over those 4 17 year olds.

This sounds good in theory. So in your opinion, we jump into a bidding war with USC and maybe even LSU for Chip and lose 75% of the class and if we lose the bid......then what? Pray that Butch doesnt feel disrespected and removes his name from consideration and then be stuck with Mario?

You're working on the premise that they wouldn't get some type of guarantee from Kelly far before D-Day. The timeline will tell you everything. If no one is hired by Mid-December, an NFL coach is getting hired and UM is fine with waiting.
 
What about those waivers a majority of our EEs? Wouldn't that still give our coaches unlimited access to them during the dead period. If that was the case naming a coach before the dead period wouldn't be a necessity.
 
50% chance IMO we know who the coach is within a week. Rumor mill is heating up, but it's still very quiet. I think the Kelly rumors have some validity as they have likely kicked the tire there. In the end, I doubt that happens.

Shaq pops, I am willing to concede some kids to "collateral damage" if we are talking about a DEFINITE shot at grabbing a big fish. But if this is all just hearsay and "Jon Gruden" like hood rumors, then there is no way in **** I sacrifice all this "program changing" talent for one unicorn. (Chip Kelly) We have been burned too much in the past.

If I had the chose of either having Butch in my hand now and keeping all our current commits AND tacking on a few more (Jamel Cook, Bethel, Pie Young, etc)

or

waiting on Chip Kelly with the promise that we would have a 50% chance to snag him but we would have to compete with USC....

I take the Butch choice all day every day. Sorry, thats just me.

Just a reminder the dead period begins December 15, 2015 and if a coach has not been appointed at least a week before that date our recruiting will be severely impaired as the dead period is almost one full month. That means no contact with recruits.

I would be surprised if Chip Kelly is considered, too many NCAA issues and we're having a hard enough considering Butch Davis who has been cleared by the NCAA and two chancellors of the University of North Carolina of any wrong doing. I still believe Butch Davis is the best potential coach of the Miami Hurricanes.

You should know Butch Davis is now being looked at by other major universities and even if offered now Miami is not a lock. Some people in the Athletic Department at Miami have messed this up.

There retarded

Slam dunk hire, yetthese ninjas want a offensive coach that doesnt coach d and hates ballers. Defense and sfla lock down should be the number one priority we have bunz soft talent

Lol. Sorry. I fell for the "Banana in the tailpipe" 5 years ago when Kirby was supposedly boarding a private jet to Tampa to ink Jon Gruden as our next head coach. Ive heard all this BS before. I am not waiting. Chip is either in or out and I need an answer by December 5th.

And you know this how?

It's been reported. Iowa State president worked with him at UNC. Guys, we should not be competing with Iowa State. Need to aim higher.

Thats on you for falling for it. Hocutt didn't get fooled by Gruden. People on the boards got fooled.

And your random drop dead date doesn't mean anything. You wouldn't even have a current college head coach hired by that time if they're coaching that weekend.

Good thing Alabama and Michigan didn't have you on their board when they were looking for their new head coaches. One was hired in late December and the other in early December.

It's flat out dumb to have dates or opinions besides just for fun personal ones if you're not in the know. Since that would be all of us, don't get too serious about any of this and enjoy the process as it plays out.

Well, if we had ALA and MICH money then we could set our own terms. But we dont. If you think 4M is going to get us Chip Kelly, then go ahead and set yourself up for failure. Who am I to get in the way of someones pipe dream? Meanwhile, Jimbo/Nick/Jim H/Mulzahn/McElwain will happily eat away our entire recruiting class kid by kid while we "wait" to see if what LuCane said some random BOT member told him is true or not.

I didnt say that was the date we hire the coach. I said even if he wants in, he needs to send his rep to let us know. Dude, we have an early entry class coming in second week of Dec. If we dont have a coach in or around then, we will lose all of them. All of this based off a rumor from a random BOT member? I am starting to go in the direction of Consigliere. If it aint coming from a certain group of people who we know are on the ground floor of this thing, I am not believing it.

To all you guys in a panic over losing recruits, there are at least 10 Power 5 HC jobs that will open up not to mention the resulting domino effect of schools losing the prized HC to one of these openings.

There are going to be a bunch of recruits unsure about their future coaching staff. It is not just the U recruits. So calm down and let the process run its course!! We will get our share. We just need to make sure we hire the right person.

Probably UCF or another ACC school would be interested in Butch at this point.
