The Search Committee Recommends who off this list?...

I wouldn't interview Butch and would use my 6th spot to squeeze in another candidate. If I miss on all 6 I call Butch

Below but not in order

Mullen
Patterson
Gundy
Kelly
Whittingham
Herman

I'll play the interview game:

Chip Kelly
Dan Mullen
Tom Herman
Dana Holgorsen
Kliff Kingsbury
Butch Davis

And other than Butch and maybe Mullen, none of the others would even consider leaving current team for us. And if Butch was such a great hire, I would have to believe other schools would be after him. Wake up people, we are not even close to a top level team where we can be picky with coaches beating down the door to come here. Other than the weather, we don't have much t offer anymore.
 
Strong, Richt, Stoops, Rich Rod. Don't need the other 2. If you can't land any of those 4, then fold the program. It's going to be one of those 4 or Chud. PM whoop for the info.
 

I think this is the guy who will get hired
for the following reasons (and from UM's
perspective):

1) HC experience
2) Is familiar with soFla recruiting scene
3) Has ties to UM from his Butch days
4) Doesn't have the toxicity that Butch has
5) Close to Mario, may even include him on his staff
6) No buyout needed to get him

He's not in my top 5-10 list.
But I think in the minds of UM decision-makers he will be
an attractive choice because they will view him as someone
who will please the Mario and Butch people, yet come in
with experience and no level of NCAA toxicity.
In other words, a compromise.

Also, it's been rather quiet on the Schiano rumor front.
No one is "leaking" anything about him.
Reminds me of the days leading up to Golden hire.
 
Gundy
Patterson
Chip Kelly
Rich Rod
Mullen
Butch

And lmfao at no fedora who won 10 at a power five school.
 
This is what I think the committee will come back to Blake.
Only 6 will get official interviews.. (6 is just the number we are working with for now)

These coaches meets some of the criteria below (this is just mine for the sake of the post)
- makes 4M or less
- currently not a HC
- At a Power 5 school with HC exp
- a G5 HC with a winning record that was a coordinator at a P5 and won there
- Has had a 10 win seasons
- Has won a title
- Miami Lineage


Strong
Miles
Richt
Mullen
Patterson
Gundy
Mora
Mark Stoops
Rich Rod
Helfrich
Chip Kelly
Kingsbury
Holgrosen
Fitzgerald
Shaw
Whittingham
Herman
Butch
Chud
Pagano

Give me your 6 out of these interviews.. If you think someone should be added include them

No Mario - No Fuente (VT) - No Fedora -

JC

Chip Kelly
Chuck Pagano
Hue Jackson
Butch Davis da Gawd
Les Miles
Mark Richt

I really want Herman and Patterson on this list.. My heart said yea then my brain said no.

I'll play the interview game:

Chip Kelly
Dan Mullen
Tom Herman
Dana Holgorsen
Kliff Kingsbury
Butch Davis

Curious... why Klingsbury over a Patterson?

JC

Why no miles

It wouldn't surprise me if Fedora bolts after this season, and he's a good one.
But I don't see UM poaching a fellow ACC school.
I wouldn't do it either.

Yeah. I just don't get the super Herman hype whereas Fedora has done a phenomenal job in a power five conference. I love that he canned his DC and hired Chizik. He's doing a great job there. From Gundy tree too.

People forget that Fedora had done a bang-up job at Southern Miss.
Even beat Sumlin (Houston) for the ConfUSA championship.
Solid coach.
I would love to have him coach the Canes, but that ain't happening.
We would have to leave the ACC if we do. LOL.
 
Strong
Butch
Herman
Schiano
Mullen
Dino Babers

* Chip Kelly, Chud, Winston Moss
Are nfl guys I would interview

All these potatoes still suggesting Strong. He could probably rape your mothers and you would still blow him.

Our fan base is awesome!

I'm not a fan of the way LSU plays on offense. I hate it, actually. I also think their D will be different without Chavis.

And I think Miles is on the decline.

In that order. If you can't get any of those 8, then you turn to Butch Davis.

I don't have Fuente or Herman on the list because I believe that both are signed, sealed elsewhere. Both would find a spot in my top 10.

Yeah, I have a gut feeling (no insight) that Schiano, not Butch, is James's true "fallback" option if the swing-for-the-fences guys(e.g., Kelly) don't pan out and Strong (ugh) and Richt don't get fired.

I think he'd be great too. Not my #1 , but definitely in my top 3 of the non-Kelly types.
