7 minutes in, Urban explains his position. Take it up with him.
Agreed.Those Miami-area kids who went to Alabama seem to have a pretty high football IQ.
Wonder why that is (or why SoFla has more NFL players per capita than So Cal, Atl, DFW, Houston, etc)?
This "Florida players are stupid" stuff just seems like excuse-making for bum-*** coaches like Diaz, Norvell, McElwain and the rest who do a lousy job of teaching and developing players.
Obviously you take UrbanThose are the only two choices this off-season. Urban will be done in Jax, he’s 0-3 and it’s ugly.
USC likely to pony up for either of those two. Miami needs to get its head out of its a*s and get in the game with USC for these guys.
You really think that Miami is going to spend 8-10 million per year for Urban Meyer or any coach? Never mind the fact that he's going to want 5-8 million per year on top of that for his assistant salary pool. Miami isn't doing that, and the only thing getting involved with that bidding war would serve to do is get SC to pay even more.
Stop thinking that there's only 1-2 coaches that can win here. A forward thinking, intelligent AD would look at the available budget and find a quality HC that not only fits the budgetary requirements, but gives him enough budgetary flexibility to hire a high performing staff to work with said coach. Unless some donor is willing to personally subsidize the Meyer hire, with the proper outlays for support and assistants, it's a nonstarter.
The argument from posters was that Urban wouldn't come here because he thinks its not an attractive program. If that is true, then we're not going to get anyone great, and anyone that would come would stay for a couple years, max.
A guy like Urban takes good programs and makes them great - you pay up for that kind of coach if you want the football program to be relevant. It's doubtful that Miami admin cares, so when we go out next year and hire someone besides Urban (or maybe Mario), expect more of the same from Miami football. 5 more years of irrelevance and message board b*tching.
All anyone talks about is how much these guys cost, without ever thinking about how much revenue a great program brings in from Football, and the impact it has on the number of applicants / academic profile. Laugh all you want about my post, it doesn't matter to me. I can't wait for the unbridled optimism of the people on this board when we hire some guy with no real proven track record of winning big, but I see that every week with sunshine pumpers talking about the potential of guys like Flagg.
Not a doubt in my mindurban would only been here like 5 years but he'd win a couple NC's
Urban be like…
