What I love about Yost is not only his FB Knowledge, but the way he interacts with his kids, both on the field and off...and before anyone (and on CIS ya know their *** lurks) asks that "But can he relate to inner city kids"?? BS...Yes....he most certainly can and has aplenty....dont let that Surfer Boy Look fool you....
I am a big Yost fan and I feel his background as an elementary school teacher would make him ideal for dealing with the juvenile personalities we have in the QB room currently. Not to mention he has instant creditability given his resume. But I have to acknowledge his suffer look would rub some south Florida the wrong way until he gets the offense producing 50pts per game.
On another note he is loyal to his current HC, because he through him a life line when he was out of coaching that also made him an OC not just a position coach. The other big issue is whom would be Yost's oline coach, because Butch Barry & Dan Enos are iattached at the hip.
The other major issue with Yost is he not coming to UM for anything less than what Enos was making an also with Manny on the hot seat that would have to be guaranteed money. He is making $600k at Texas Teach while practically sleep walking. Unless it's for a major payday why would he come deal with the stress of Miami?
Then there is the buyout money for both Enos and Barry that would be north of $4 million dollars combined. To then pay a Yost $1+MM guaranteed and a new quality OL Coach $600k guaranteed for 3 yrs. That's another $6 MM miami would be on the hook for to fix Manny's mistake. Oh an then Manny's potential buyout next year if tanks. That would be approaching FSU spending to get rid of Slick Willie.
Blake James is literally in a tight spot with gambling the farm with hiring Manny Diaz. As popular as it would be to fire Enos, that would be doubling down on Coach Diaz.
Go Canes
