This Should Be Our Next Coach

Whoa I just realized something. Jon Gruden probably has two more years with the Raiders before he quits. Rick probably gets two more years at Miami. Could it finally be happening- Gruden to Miami?! Players notified.

Gruene is gonna quit before he gets fired! Already traded Khalil Mack and Amari Cooper!

Pipe dream. Zero percent chance. That guy’s not all about money. He turned down several gigantic raises to stay at Boise forever.

I used to work with Austin Pettis mom. He was a pretty big WR there. She said he is the most humble man you will ever meet. Like you said it took a lot to get him out of Boise. He ain’t a Miami kind of guy. I know you want an up and comer. I want someone we will never get. The guy that brought up Lincoln Riley. Leach. He would turn this place upside down.

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.

You speak truth..
 
"He has been training in the dark arts of scoreboard explosions since he was a pre-teen" !!!! I just ****ed myself!
 
The sad part about it, is the defense for the last two seasons is built for a team that scores a lot of points. Have to agree with the franchise, and would add the way our recruiting has typically gone on both sides of the ball over say the last decade, we should be a team that scores a lot of points and makes life hard on the QB. With all installations of the previous 4 regimes, it seems those players are and will be readily available here regardless of Coaching Staff.
 
Lincoln Riley makes 4.8 million. That would be about the cost of Rick + an OC (maybe less actually). If Petersen is out of the question and Miami MUST get an established coach, then it should dig in the sofa cushions and offer Riley 5.8 million. We get the savings back from not even needing an OC or even a DC, as the O will score so many points the D could just go out and play playground football.

I may be in the minority here, but I don't want a HC who is the coordinator calling plays. There are so many things to deal with when managing a college football team, I don't want my head coach to have to focus on game planning, scheming and calling plays. You can't be everywhere, running everything and then have to be immersed in running one side of the football. I would prefer him to oversee everything and focus on big picture stuff, while letting his coordinators handle the game planning and details.

Kiffin has been sh;t at FAU since Kendal Briles left. His offensive mind led to 7 points against Marshall and 13 against Louisiana Tech.

Kiffin would be an atrocious hire today.

Anyone could have had Kiffin after Bama and he choose FAU.

Anyone could have had Kiffin after his tremendous first season at FAU and he stayed.

This year he is 3-5 at FAU and he already regressed after year 1, so NOW is the time hire him!

Nobody wants him but mouth breathers.

Not ideal, but some coaches can do it. Andy Reid in the NFL calls plays. So does Super Bowl champ Doug Pederson. I think Riley could handle double duty. Rick really just needs to focus on improving his staff.

If his issue was that BSU couldn't get noticed by the BCS, then coaching in the Pac-12 isn't going to help that much. Probably the least regarded conference in the P5, and with the ACC as bad as it is, that's saying something.

“I felt in my heart, this is time,” Petersen said. “I need some more growth. And to really be challenged. That’s what happened. You come here, and it’s completely different. Extremely challenging. And hard. And frustrating.”

Washington went 8-6 in his first season and 7-6 his second year before the Huskies exploded this season. Petersen, 52, has never eyed his next step before and ended up leaving, he admits. But he believes Washington will be his final job.

“There’s not another place or job out there where I’m like, ‘Well, if that opens . . . ’ ” Petersen said. “I don’t even kind of think like that.”

Every coach says that. Show me any coach who has ever said, "I don't plan on staying here very long."

I agree. Which is why I think the most logical solution is to hire Kendal Briles as OC/QB coach, give him full control of the offense and fire Searles and Jonny boy.

I also think it's easier for NFL coaches to be play callers, they don't have to worry about recruiting or kids going to class.
