What this program needs

1. Nobody gave a chit when he took a job at FAU.

2. Nobody gave a chit when he came back to the State of Texas and worked at Houston.

3. Nobody gives a chit now when he is at FSU.

I have no doubt he knew stuff was going on but does anyone (including the media) actually allege he was heavily involved?[/QUOT

You must be kidding. LOL.

This program hasn't won a meaningful game in nearly 20 years.

Many of the fans, including a few on here, are happy with 9 wins. They do not know any better. They would rather be loved by the media like ND or Penn State than win games. They like a coach and would rather have a coach they like than win championships with a coach the media does not love just as much.

This fans hold the program back. These fans are the, "give him one more year" group. These fans would report a player if he were 2 minutes passed curfew. These fans are the first to attack the players or other fans becasue they do not support the coach they have placed on their pedestal of perfection. The program is infested with these fans.

We needa coach they puts winning first and does not give a S*** about these fans.
 
Need to be innovative on and off the field. Before social media and the age of marketing we had a team with personalities on the field and on the sidelines that marketed themselves and we were the trendsetters.
Alabama is here for a few days and buys a big light up bill board. Do you think anyone in this program has the insight to do something like that?
If we played in SoCal would cmr ask the ad to go south central and by a **** bill board in the heart of Trojan territory?
Would anyone on our program ask the school for legacy scholarships?
Cmr is good at what he does. Rubbing elbows and kissing babies and raising money.
But bama Clemson and a lot of teams hire advertising and marketing gurus to relate to the young kids and parents. They’re pushing the brand that they made on the field.
Winning in all aspects of the game now includes off the field marketing and recruiting 365 days. Even in bowl season.
Even butch put up billboards when he got to fiu.
But you still need to win. But winning won’t be enough with all these schools coming to this state and recruiting harder than ever. Saban is running bama like a cooperation not a football team.
We need to make our new players feel like they are fugging gladiators in Rome and give them the best of everything. That’s what we’re competing against.
If the school the ad and the coach isn’t on board with that then we have to accept that we’re just going to be competing for the coastal. Simple as that. FSU UF understand that the game has changed and the best players want the facilities the staff size and support system that comes with it. If your not paying them then make them feel wealthy.
Even if it’s just for 4 years.
The notion that we can win cheaper in Miami is over. Even if we get a good coach kids are still wanting to go to the **** slide at Clemson and the 24 hr chef at Alabama.
 
I sit here watching Florida Michigan game shaking my head .
We are so far behind these teams to battle a mental and physical chess match whether it’s 30 seconds or four quarters.

How in the world can we even think of playing the Gators competitively when we cannot even do basic football skills and thinking because we have the U on our helmets from the blood and sweat from past Canes whom layed the ground work and foundation, that we’ll automatically get wins ??????

I would start spring with this....

I would hold up a football and explain to coaches players water boys trainers training table people EVERYONE MEETS in IPF to here THIS IS A FOOTBALL and teach basics 101

GEEZ IM SOOO UPSET DISTURBING

JUST RAMBLING WONDERING THOUGHTS

SORRY EVERYONE HAVING A MOMENT
 
Don't go for the safe conservative hire. We need an innovator. We need someone that will keep shoving tds down opponent's throats up 30 with 2 minutes to go in the 4th.
 
We need a straight up savage who gives zero ***** about anything but winning. IDGAF if we end up on probation for another 5 years if he brings us a Natty and 3-4 years of skull ******* everyone. I mean we've been irrelevant for 15 years, what's another stint in NCAA time-out?

That may be all true but the guy can’t distinguish a good head coach if his life depended on it

Whoever makes the BOT most uncomfortable is likely the right choice. They want pillars and binders of character and stuffiness above all else so whoever makes them squirm like this during interview(s) is exactly what we need;

We need to be ruthless again. Fck anyone who thinks we should wait around another year for this corpse to kill us.

We need an innovative spread guru, who can inject some immediate excitement into this moribund corpse of a program. Start lighting up the scoreboard and giving ourselves a little bit of a margin for error.

Quit trying to win every game 17-14. We need a guy who can take the advantage we have here in South Florida (speed and skill talent) and exploit it, not neuter it. We have guys talking about our rich talent base, yet we hire these conservative old school plodding coaches who want to play 1970s Big 10 football. It’s one misfit after another. One boring bum after another.

Our only real hope is a Lincoln Riley type who comes in and gives us an IMMEDIATE schematic advantage where we can make up for our lack of talent and current depth and recruiting inefficiencies. We need a guy who can buy some time with his offense while we create some excitement with the brand that will ignite recruiting.

We can’t afford another “he needs a few years” type of hire, which is why we need a “light up the scoreboard” hire. The worst thing about our program is it is FCKING BORING AF. It’s got no juice or panache. Yeah it sucks to lose. But it sucks way more to lose in such a boring fcking way.

Well said, Chise.

The hiring critieria for a new Miami HC as I'd mandate it:

1. No washed up retread. Get us a young, hungry, energetic guy who has apprenticed under one of the elite HC's and is willing to be innovative and aggressive. Bring in new ideas and concepts. Miami should be at the forefront of new schemes.
2. Someone who gets the S. Florida culture and mindset. It's totally different from Georgia, the deep South, the Midwest, West Coast and all parts in between. You're talking about a different breed of kid who has been trained since 3 to be a mercenary; no local loyalty. The new guy needs to know and understand this walking in the door.
3. Focus on winning. Period. No shady, dirty &hit, but definitely no holier than thou, principles and virtues above all else, either. That just doesn't work in today's landscape.
4. No egos. I want someone who doesn't feel the need to be the smartest guy in the room at all times. Get a guy who can identify top talent for his coaching staff and then empower them to do what they are hired to do. Get out of their way, but hold them accountable for results.
5. Advocate fast, aggressive S. FL style football. None of that prevent, read and react bull&hit.
6. Lastly, get me a guy who has an eye for talent and knows how to develop and maximize the talent he has.

Good stuff Chise.
But this ruthlessness starts at the top.....above the head coach and even above the Athletic Director and, unfortunately, I don't see it.
Until that is fixed, nothing will change.

False , scheme matters today more than ever.

Bama went to more spread , rpo and using tempo because they know they needed to change with the times. The same reason why they recruit mostly dual threat qb’s.

Saban also updated his defensive scheme to smaller, faster LBs. He doesn’t have to win ‘his way’. No matter how he wins, it was ‘his way’.

The man you quoted literally said "He is among the best at the business side of the AD spectrum" and you took that to say he claimed he is one of the best? Amazing what people fail to comprehend.

Is giving a $20M buyout and extension after finishing a season on a 3-game losing streak good business? Had that not happened, terminating Richt would be less expensive. There was no reason to offer an extension. Richt is not leaving on his own, unless he retires.

The extension was a bad business decision. A bad one with considerable cost increase on the financial and football bottom line.

Good post, some people on this board need to read this every night before they go to sleep.

Considered a corch by who? Syracuse was god-awful before he arrived. The place is Siberia. Now they’re very competitive and a team an opponent has to deal with. They beat Clemson once, and almost beat them this season.

Heupel’s successful season in Logan led to a two-year stint at Missouri, where he engineered one of the most impressive offensive overhauls in recent college football history. Missouri finished No. 124 in total offense in 2015 (280.9), the year before Heupel’s arrival. They jumped to No. 13 in 2016 (500.5) and No. 7 (511.5) last year, as Heupel ran a hybrid of the offense Art Briles made famous at Baylor.

Missouri coach Barry Odom came away as impressed with the approach as the production, as Heupel tailored the offense to the personnel and instilled a daily sense of competitiveness that reverberated through the program. “It didn’t matter if it was practice three of spring [ball],” Odom said. “He wanted to go out and embarrass the defense. That’s the way he was as a player.”

Both Babers and Heupel run versions of Art Briles offense (itself a descendant of Mike Leach's Air Raid). I don't think you would go wrong with any of the 3: Leach, Heupel, or Babers. My pref is for Heupel as I think he is the most innovative and flexible, plus knows S Fl recruiting now and knows how to find qb gems from all over the place. That being said i'd be ok with Babers too.

Agreed. No one looks at those national title rings and says "But he won this way instead of how he did it previously."

It's actually more impressive to win titles in a multitude of ways. Wish Richt would adopt this concept. But he's either too lazy to change or just that stubborn. Either way, it's Miami that suffers from his ineptitude.
