We're Severely Undervaluing This Position

[OBLIVION]

Come Dec 2015 Gundy will have no buyout. Unless he has signed a new contract of late

And Mark Richt seemingly doesn't even have a signed contract- not that I'm advocating that we necessarily give him one.

Georgia AD: Bulldogs will honor $4M contract Mark Richt still hasn't signed

Im grasping at toothpicks here but this quote could show that Herman highly values proximity to talent over something like proximity to stadium

I've told that story every day since I arrived at Houston. Every day when I roll into the parking lot, close my car door and start walking into the football facility, I say to myself, "What if Andrew Luck shows up today?" And I walk in, pick up gum wrappers and inspect the floor. We need new paint on the walls, new pictures, all sorts of things. In the city of Houston, there's a very real chance that the next Andrew Luck could show up in our offices today. It's almost a mantra for our coaches: Your offices better stay neat. You better have a highlight tape ready, a recruitment presentation ready, all your spiels ready, because there are 10 five-star prospects living within 20 minutes of us and they can show up at any time.

Agree or disagree?

Another grasp at straws, but this quote just tells me so much about the type of person and coach Herman is

There's a hallway floor in our facility that is 25 years old. It rains a lot in Houston, so who knows what's under it by now. But a few months ago, the little rubber tiles started to peel up like a potato chip. I said, "Hey, this isn't safe for our athletes." After 10 or 15 emails, I said that I would pay for it. I went to Home Depot, bought a bunch of scrapers and spent a night peeling the tiles back. I was fully prepared to spend my own money to put a floor down. It was for my guys and for recruiting. I peeled up the floor myself because if somebody was going to be angry about it, I didn't want anyone else to get in trouble but me. It actually didn't take me that long, like three or four hours. I stacked the tiles up in the locker room. In a few weeks, we ended up with new floors.

Mike Gundy is a big name who, IMO, would jump at the right offer but are we willing to offer 4m? To be determined

Yeah but on the other end of that he also complained about wanting more fan support at the Houston home games as well

good point. All depends on how he values one against the other. Without a doubt we should get an interview with him. If we cannot sell Miami it just further validates our admin being inept

Agree, the latest rumor from football scoop

Tom Herman: While there has been no shortage of chatter regarding Tom Herman’s future of late, sources continue to tell FootballScoop that Houston is working on a new package for him, hoping to take him off the market.

Miami needs to hurry and get in contact, I truly believe he has what it takes to win big at Miami and recruit well.

We're on here talking about the Alabama offensive line coach, whose claim to fame is being humiliated and walking across a parking lot at FIU with a box full of his shlt. We're over here talking about coordinators. We're discussing a dude named Dino Babers for fvck's sake. What are we doing here? Really.

Miami plays in the single worst division in college football. Miami and Fort Lauderdale are the leaders for active NFL players with a total of 51. There is no better job in the country right now for an ambitious coach that wants to come down here and win games. You are surrounded by the best talent this nation has to offer and you get to bring them into battle every week against an assortment of cupcakes. Any coach looking to advance his career, or any guy who feels maxed out at his current gig and wants to think bigger, would come running down here in a second.

I think we're letting this school off the hook by offering up guys like Cristobal and Chud. F that. They need to spend money. They need to hire an actual football coach, not some "oh well ya know he COULD be good if he hires great coordinators" type of coach, and definitely not a "great recruiter." What the **** is this garbage? We are Miami.

We have an unbelievable opportunity here for the taking for any savage coach that wants to come fvck with talent and speed he's only dreamed of having at his disposal. We need to be thinking bigger, aiming higher, and expecting more. We need to hold the administration and the CornBreath search firm to a high standard. Get us a head coach from a power 5 conference that's done more with less. Forget ties, forget MIAMI GUYZ. Find a mean sumbltch that wants to tear da club up.


This job is an amazing opportunity. It's time we stop acting like the hot chick with no self-esteem.

Get me a Gundy, Patterson, Mullen, Chip, Dantonio, etc or gtfo of my sight.

I've been saying this all season

**** yeah

We're not undervaluing this position.

Hiring Larry Coker, Randy Shannon, and Al Golden undervalued this position.

OP needs to stage an 80's movie style takeover of Blake's office where he barges in and delivers this speech despite the secretary's warning that he's not allowed to go in there.
