What's your short list look like? Golden replacements

[kanin81]

I've heard great things about Matt Wells at Utah State. Gil Brandt is extremely high on him and he has several South Florida kids on his roster so he has an idea of recruiting down here.

I cringe at the numbers Phillip Montgomery would put up with South Florida talent.

That's flat out scary. They'd drop 90 points on a team, just cause.

Google that man's name and imagine him with the talent Miami gets..

Jeremy Pruitt is a name I can get on board with easily

I'm all aboard the Narduzzi train if we go coordinator.

But I have to admit, Gary Patterson's name rings to me this time around. Patterson and his counterpart Chris Petersen were always comfortable at their smaller schools. It's all about the right timing and opportunity though. Petersen left for UW once he realized he couldn't get into the playoffs with Boise. Gary, meanwhile, coaches a school that is, at best, 4th option in his own state. This guy has to wake up and go against an SEC Texas A&M, a surging Baylor program, Texas always being Texas and that's before Oklahoma and Texas Tech come to the table. Our best bet would be that Patterson realizes he will never win big at TCU. His salary is $3.4 million, higher than Al but not in the stratosphere. Could he be attainable if we can pay comparable salary and sell him on winning big at Miami? I know it's not probable, but it worked with Petersen. Maybe wishful thinking...

Gary Patterson is not leaving TCU, he and his family is well taken care of there.

The best Miami could do at this point is Mario...and unfortunately I'm serious.
And I said "best they could do", not the best choice.

Let's entertain this for a second. Why do you believe this?

Pluses to coaching at Miami:
fertile recruiting area

Negatives to coaching at Miami:
Low budget
No home stadium
questionable fanbase...at best.
Probation, although minor
Reputation
Being held to a history that is no longer reasonable aka No one will ever do what Miami did, let it go

Blake Anderson at Arkansas State...hopefully He was checkin' out His new digs when we played em'.

STFU. You have no clue how Miami can actually do.

Gotta love the Golden sycophants going with the "the next guy will be worse!" approach. Laughable.

Your stupidity knows no bounds, I actually have a pretty good idea how Miami will do in their next search based on the circumstances surrounding the program and other programs that will likely be searching as well. They're pretty clear to anyone with an IQ above room temperature.

Mario was an assistant under Butch.

Makes more sense to get the Master, not the student.

Just don't think the admin would ever allow it.

And what exactly convinces you that Jeremy Pruitt, a guy that has held 11 jobs in 17 years (mostly high schools) is the right guy? Is it his reputation for ruffling feathers of his colleagues, being difficult to work with? Perhaps the way he left FSU in the middle of a renegotiation for more money? I'm just wondering.

A lot of this post is irrelevant.

1. The Number of Jobs / The Number of Years and High School: I don't care if the guy had 100 jobs over the last 10 months. If I was in charge, the question(s) I would ask would be did all these moves make sense? Why did he move?

Remember there is no set process for moving up the coaching ladder. In addition, these coaches are hungry. I have no issue with a guy moving around (assuming it wasn't for illogical reasons or being fired) and trying to move up quickly.

1991-2005: Gus Malzahn worked in HS. He joined Arkansas in 2006. That means he coached longer in HS then in College. Does that mean we shouldn't take him?

These coaches are not ALL born into college football. They have to come from somewhere. They move their way up the ladder after having success and making the most of opportunities.

2. Who said Pruitt is difficult to work with? Where did you get this from?

3. I like Pruitt. He is young and energetic. I think he is hungry, I think he knows how to recruit and he has worked under great coaches. I don't care that most of his jobs were in HS. I care about his track record/success. I think Pruitt will get a decent HC gig this off-season. The question is do we want to be the team that gives him his first HC gig.

Unless they've had a falling-out I'm not aware of, Mark Stoops would likely keep James Coley as OC. He worked with him at FSU and tried to hire him at Kentucky.

Well, if you've talked to them - share.

Unless you didn't talk to the Administration, and are just wild-assed-guessing.

This dumbass Administration has landed three tuurds in a row. You'd think they'd want to go with a sure thing this time.

The fact that you bring up Mario shows otherwise.

WOW-- you had to reach a bit there, huh? I'll give you the no "home stadium" but the rest are easily overcome with competent coaching. This list is very shortsighted.

And I think you're selling this storied program waaaaaaaaaay short. There isn't a team/program in the country that's better stocked and able to win immediately, than here. I'm well-acquainted with the "lack of fan support" argument, but with what these fans have been subjected to in the latter part of this decade, do you really blame them for not flocking to sun-lifeless stadium?

Reputation? Really? Probation???? gimme a break.

Look at programs where up & coming coaches are getting it done-- some in tougher conferences than ours, and theyre doing it with far fewer resources than what Miami offers. And you really think this job is a 2nd tier? You must have become a "fan" under Coker Shannon, or Golden is all I can conclude.

There are coaches who would give their left nut for this job, and produce a far better product than Golden does. And Mario ain't even on the list if you ask me.

He's been a DC for 19 games. Randy was more experienced, more impressive results, and as good of a recruiter. You do not hire rookie HCs, particularly from the college ranks, to run the Miami Hurricanes. It DOES. NOT. ****_ING. WORK.

wild-assed-guessing is exactly what it is. IMO, I don't believe that he would get the job because of his history at UNC, Miami's history with the NCAA and his past experience at Miami. He was not well liked and was considered pretty questionable ethically speaking.
