This Should Be Our Next Coach

Clueless clueless clueless post.

Howard had been an NFL HC, and was the OC for the only undefeated NFL champ ever.

HE built the program from where we are now to being champs.

That is the level coach it requires to resurrect a dead program.

JJ and Dennis didnt have to take a loser program over. They took over championship squads. Completely different scenarios.

You missed the point Dypshyt.

Howard failed as a NFL HC (4-13 before being fired by the Colts). His offense for the Dolphins was run, run and run again. Griese hardly threw the ball. Don Shula has something to say say about that. Howard was also OC for Bear Bryant. Same thing.

Howard’s innovation was running a pro-style offense. He wasn’t the first to do so in college, probably, but built the team in that image. He also drew up the famous ‘State of Miami’ recruiting demarcation line. Lou Saban started it with some top recruits, and Howard took it to another level.

JJ innovation was to play faster, smaller defenses that ate up the slow, plodding offenses of the time. He started this a Pittsburgh as DC (with Hugh Green). His record at Oklahoma State was average but didn’t have the athletes to compete with Oklahoma and Nebraska. At Miami he had access a full complement of athletes to make it work and dominate.

Erickson revamped the offense to his unique, one-back scheme, and kept the style of defense. The offense was a great success. He was an excellent gameday coach, poor at recruiting and player discipline. He proved to be unsustainable with NCAA issues.

All three were innovators.

Miami needs this type of smart thinking. I think Kendall Briles could be such a HC. Is there a risk? Sure. There are no guarantees.

Now, go back and post how the BOT hates football because they won’t hire away Bill Belichick or Nick Saban.

I get that, but Applewhite is an offensive guy himself. There's zero percent chance that he just handed it over to Briles. Plus Applewhite now has experience in running an entire program. Is this the place for Briles to learn on the job?

No arguments. I just think Briles may be the guy who explodes once he gets his chance. Why not at Miami?

Yes we all know they were innovative.

But neither JJ and especially not Dennis had to take a program that was a perennial loser and turn them into champs.

Maintaining momentum is infinitely easier than building a program. Ask Larry Coker who has a ring. Or Les Miles and Gene Chizik.

Completely different situations. Howard was a majorly experienced football man who had clout and cache, AND he could recruit and scheme. The program is dead and Kendall Briles is your genius idea? lmfao!
 
Been on the Briles train for OC since last year, but, at this point, I’m willing to try anything. Bring him on as HC. We need to find the next great HC BEFORE someone else does and then locks him in for life. Need to get an offensive animal in here who is looking to score on every play.

Enough with these tired conservative shytbags from the old days and retreads and all-around unimaginative dregs. The days of looking for a recruiter who will run a boring system and just out-athlete everyone are over. Need someone who can fix this offense overnight and make this a fun program for players and fans.

Jumped on my "innovators" theory I see. Smart man.

Please reply with 5 HCs you would choose to replace Richt.

Like Lincoln Riley. Some of these young guys are so good at scheming up offense that you give them access to our players, and they’ll name the score.

We need to find the next guy BEFORE he’s a proven commodity. It’s nearly impossible to hire away proven commodities these days. The HCs you can hire away from another program usually have a lot of warts.

Perennial loser? Miami just had to beat a bad Pitt team last year and we are likely in the playoffs, even with a loss to Clemson. Miami has more talent, by far, over anyone in the ACC coastal. That means the acc championship game should, in most years, be a play- in for the college football playoffs. Program still has superior athletes, just suffered from corching. Of Coker, Shannon, and Golden, only Coker became a HC again, at USTA. If the problem was the program, they would have been retread hires like so many other coaches. We just picked terrible coaches. A good coach, even with a loss to LSU to start the season has an easy path to the acc championship game with one loss. If you want to tell yourself the program is dead to make yourself feel better about another bad hire we are stuck with, then that's your prerogative. Reality is the team as it is, should have cake walked to acc championship game.

When Rick was hired I would have back the truck up for Herman.

Or I would have gone to Philly three years ago and not left until Chip was our coach, like what Michigan did wih Harbaugh.

If you want a coordinator with an explosive offense, go hire Josh McDaniels who has an unreal pedigree now, HC experience.

Id take Matt Campbell in a ******* heartbeat over Richt.

Id STILL try for Chris Peterson.

Id look at the dominant FCS NDSU staff who have won like 5 titles in the last ten years.

In other words coaches who have actually accomplished big things. Not random coordinators from FAU and Houston. There is an ocean of experience between the kind of coach we need and Kendall ******* Briles.

I want an offensive guy anyway. It’s a lot easier to find a DC who can succeed with Miami talent than it is to find an offensive master.

Offensive coach with proven track record , including 2 BCS bowl wins: Chris Petersen. Guess how much he makes.
