Can you imagine this guy with his heavy accent meeting with kids from the hood or their parents during recruiting visits. That was one thing that Shalala like her or not would hit out of the park in terms of selling UM as an institution to both recruits and parents.
Lets see if this is really the pick and how he connects with the kids. I will say this though if this guy is the pick, I would not be surprised if we saw UM's next head coach search committee give Memphis's head coach Justin Fuente a real long look as a candidate to be Miami's next head coach. Since there are very few Power 5 head coaches that are Latino I would think a Latino President would give serious thought to bringing in a Latino HC, especially in South Florida, not to mention Fuente's is a rising helluva coach. I would like to see his team take the next step before he was given the rains to a school like UM. Much of Memphis's success the last few years was because of their stifling defenses, but Def Coor. Barry Odom has moved on to coach at Mizzo; so now lets see if Fuente can stand on his own or was he a product of Odom's getting off the bus bringing pressure defenses.

That's a great point about his accent because none of the kids in South Florida are used to hearing Spanish accents. It could really catch them off guard.
Do they have Spanish people in Jersey? We don't recruit So Fla kids
The guy seems really smart. We'll all have to see, no one really knows what his thoughts are on UM athletics yet. So why bash him? At least give the guy a chance to fail.
