Pipe dream at this point, Miami would never allow someone with negative history like him to coach here and for what it’s worth idk if I want this man to have “health issues” when NCAA starts to crack down on us

Funny thing is that he still has a reputation as an ethical leader of men (thanks Tebow!) A few years away is plenty to get distance himself from the OSU fiasco, plus he can play the "I was sick and not thinking straight" card.

This thread is so ******' stupid. Everyone knows that Bill Cowher (an ACC dude) is just sitting "out there unemployed" and should be our first call before Early Signing Day this year. Nip this **** in the bud right now!

Miami doesn't have the chest nor are they willing to pony up the money to compete with elite college football at this time.

They are cool with nickel and dime investments with penny results.

It's amazing how the typical Miami "Fan" loves to blame the University for not spending itself into the poor house, for minimal return. Even when times are good, the program is barely profitable. I agree that the athletic department does a **** poor job of managing the funds it does have, and that's something that needs to change. Miami didn't have to settle for Manny, especially when someone like Richt does the right thing and takes a minimal(if any) buyout. Miami settled, because Blake James is gutless and the people that should have held his feet to the fire (The BOT) lack the will to do what needed to be done. Their attention is in other areas, and the sports centric members aren't forceful enough. Miami could have gotten a multitude of guys that were better prepared to lead a program. But, the "Miami Guy" rationale always wins out. Why? Because lazy, inept people have a unique ability to bull**** other lazy, inept people.

Hahahahahahaha. We've already had decades of mediocrity. Folks here seem to be pretty **** used to it. I think most of us would trade a few more years of mediocrity for a championship.

For those of us that give a **** about the University, mortgaging the future for one more ring isn't acceptable. Urban does the crap he did at UF and Ohio State, and the Miami program won't be around. I'm not joking. The NCAA would make it their mission to impose the death penalty and as we saw from SMU, you will never recover.

That's exactly what I mean. Miami is the perfect school for the NCAA to impose a death penalty on - a well known national brand, but one that is not a college blue blood or a SEC revenue driver. The Hurricanes would be punished to create the pretense that all schools face similar risk, when the reality is that Ohio State, Notre Dame, or Alabama would never be harshly disciplined for similar or even greater infractions.

Urban Meyer might get us close to an undefeated season, but it would be sweeping stuff under the rug and using every means at his disposal. And he'd leave before the NCAA came down on us. And when they came down on us, like SMU there's no coming back from it. You might as well cancel the program.

Would you trade decades of being a 0 - 5 win team for that championship?

The only thing that matters to me is championships. I don't give a **** if we win 10 games or 5 games if, at season's end, we aren't in the playoffs (as stupid as the format is). I don't understand the mentality that going to some podunk **** bowl during Christmas week is some accomplishment worthy of looking forward to.

Dude seriously what does it matter now? We basically are already SMU we just lucked into staying in a power five conference when we were on top of the world. Had realignment happened now 15 years later you think anyone wants the product that we’ve put on the field with this program. Urban would never even entertain coming here but if he did if your a true Miami football fan then you take him and win number 6 and cherish that baby regardless if it’s followed by probation! **** we’ve been basically on probation for 15 years anyways so yes I would happily trade another championship for it versus 7-6/8-5 purgatory that we’re in now.

Probation is one thing. Probation ends.

What I would not take is one more championship that is followed by the end of the Miami Hurricanes - for all time - as a program that could theoretically contend for a championship. Not a run of bad seasons that ends in 2030. Or 2040. Or 2070. But forever. That is what the death penalty would render Miami. Imagine going into this season not thinking that you could potentially beat the Florida Gators, but knowing that you would lose by 53 points. And it never, ever changing, no matter what.

In the thirty-one (!) seasons since their death penalty, the SMU Mustangs have averaged 3.8 wins per year. It took twenty two seasons before they won more than 6 games in a season. And during this thirty one year stretch, they have had three winning seasons. Of those three seasons, their best record was 8-5 (twice). That's not a generation of being largely irrelevant. That's a generation of being a doormat.

LOL. I’m sick over this **** too, but every HC is going to get at the very least two years. Most of the time 3 years. So buckle up.
