Sleeper Hire To Match Our Talent Pool

I would welcome him with open arms to Coral Gables. Look at how he has Clemson playing defense. Imagine him having access to South Florida athletes and turning them lose. YOOOOOO.

No Thanks - See Strong & Muschamp

No sleepers please.

First question of interview. In your perspective Brent, why have you been a defensive coordinator since 1999 and not been pursued as a head coach aggressively?

 

[Al Foil]

No thanks....see:

Will Muschamp
Gene Chizik
Randy Shannon
Ron Zook
Charlie Strong
Luke Fickell
Al Golden
etc.

"Great" defensive coordinators.....terrible head coaches.

 

[DomWorld_Peace]

I hate to break it to you guys, but we're too cheap to get a big name HC. That's just not going to happen. We'll always have to find a sleeper, or someone like Butch who hasn't coached in 5 years.

Venables' D's have been toasted many times over the years

I sure hope that we're done ******* around with more coaching experiments. The reality is, you can pay now, or pay later. The latter is not an option for this program. Whoever they hire, better be a great coach, or we can forget about Miami being elite again.

 

[mavericksouth]

No time for sleepers. This next hire is too crucial for a risky hire. Get a slam dunk hire or as close to it as possible. No up in comers, no coordinators, no nonsense.

 

[BigDikCane]

Butch or Leach

I absolutely remember his name being mentioned then. So a) it's not a "sleeper" name and b) still don't want.

 

[canesrdynamite]

Venables is a very good DC. He played and coached under Bill Snyder at KState and had some amazing defenses at OU. Not sure how he would translate to a head coaching job.

Miami doesn't seem right for him. I think he's waiting for Bill Snyder to retire.

Clemson still pulls a Clemson every now and then. See the FSU game two years ago.

Mentioned by "real" people, or a) his agent or b) dannyboycane?

 

[UMFarArcher]

We've had three sleepers in a row.

And they're still sleeping.

No, his name was definitely on the initial lists being mentioned by legitimate (that being a relative term) members of the media. Look at the direction we ended up going too. I doubt it was just his agent falsely inserting his name in the mix as that pool of finalists wasn't exactly full of big names.
