We are not Alabama, Ohio St., Texas, or Texas A&M so while we have money and can pay for the right coach finding the right coach will not be easy because we can't just say "We want Herman so go get him"

Any coach we get is going to have pros and cons. As is obvious from the board no one can agree on who the perfect fit is. All we need to do is look at the past to see that what we as fans or the BOT think is a perfect fit can and has been a moving target.

Shannon should have never been hired, it was a lazy hire and we paid for it.

Golden - Everyone wanted a young up and coming coach who proved he could build a program. Golden did that at Temple. He checked a lot of boxes for us. But he obviously was a huge failure. His loyalty cost him.

Richt - Next everyone wanted a proven coach. So we went out and hired the coach with the 3rd highest winning percentage in CFB. But it is obvious now that Richt was burned out and his loyalty cost him.

My point is a lot of people felt good about these hires just like Michigan with Hoke, UF with shark week, TN with Butch Jones, USC with Kiffin, and so on. But it is extremely tough to find that right fit and that next it coach. College football has changed so much and the last 15 years has proven Miami is no longer a job you just show up and win because of recruits. It's tough to win at Miami just like it is at 124 of the other 130 schools. I mean **** imagine if we were Michigan fans, for what they are paying Harbaugh and he can't win his division or beat any of his rivals.

Mario
Babers
Butch
Manny
Leach
Campbell

Any of those guys could go either way once they step on campus. I hope this time around they put an emphasis on coaches who change with the times and are not afraid to make changes on staff. I don't want to see a knee jerk reaction that "well we are good on defense so lets get a totally offense minded coach"

This is a big hire for Blake, the BOT or whom ever is making the decision.

I'm not really high on Dino Barbers. Whoever is hired I want them to succeed. I'm tired of being mediocre
 
For the record....MANY of us didn't like the Richt or Golden hires the day they were announced. Both of those were bad hires from day 1.

Guys like Babers, Neal Brown, and Mike Leach are NOTHING like Golden or Richt. Any one of those three would represent SIGNIFICANTLY better hires from day 1.

Point is, it is going to be impossible to find a coach we all get excited about and we are picking from a pool of coaches that could go either way. There is no obvious home run hire.

Home run hires still can fail, often at a high rate... Harbaugh, Kiffin, Muschamp w UF to name a few.

I think if we can learn anything from the Golden experience is to look further in the accomplishments.
Golden might have seem as a young up and coming coach but if you look at his actual achievements at Temple there were red flags.
Lack of big wins,,,not a actually wining anything...etc.
Names like Campbell and Babers have some big wins already.

Leach and Babers are the safe bets here because there the only 2 who wouldn't have to hire the right OC to fix this offense. They can do it themselves.

He was not poached away and paid $7m a year to lose to Ohio State every year, get blown out in their bowl game, went 8-5 last year, and lost 3 games every other year.
