I saw the talk about culture on the board - you think we can ever be a place like this?
The thing is, we never have had that culture at Miami. Suffice it to say, all other major championship programs, past and present, have been places where the most important coaches stay for long periods of time and administer championships that way. Looking at all of our turnover at head coach and coordinator positions over the years, it was almost a mercenary culture during the championship years. Incredible that the school kept winning that way when there was no other program I can think of in college football that ever won like that.
But, of course the game changed over 20 years and we've skipped almost and entire generation of relevancy as of right now. Whatever championship culture we once had that worked is gone now...like a beloved relative. I don't think catching lighting in a bottle is possible, but how do we develop a championship culture like said program in the OP, I don't know.
If you want to get holistic, my only guess is that there would have to be a sudden and impactful change somewhere in the University outside of the football program itself.
