Fisch was probably closer to 500k here. NFL OC's make well over a million. **** there are SEC coordinators that are making a million.
One of the big questions here will be how quickly Morris can pick up a new system. Although he had his ups and downs throughout the season, we were looking at a senior QB working in his third year of a system he understands extremely well. That is no longer the case.
the timing is not ideal from a recruiting standpoint, but i also think it's being overstated in this thread. miami's identity as a pro style team is pretty vague, and from a relationship standpoint, coordinators aren't that important in recruiting. no one on this board has typed "fisch is gonna close the deal!!!" at any point with regards to alex collins.
from a hiring standpoint... coaches will drop everything to take a job if it's better for them. mcdonald to cuse is just one example.

Not the first thing I wanted to hear in the morning. Not good for recruiting , and not good for the offense in having to learn a new system.
I understand, you personally turn down huge promotions and huge raises out of loyalty, right?

I believe Pat Nix is available.
******* this, unfortunately.
That said, I hope AG doesn't promote from within - Richardson? - merely to keep continuity, thinking that we have a shot at a ring this year. It's far more important to go get a quality coach who can keep momentum moving forward for the long haul. I don't think Al would do that. I'm just saying.
Congrats to Fisch
I have never seen a more reactionary, insulated to the point of paranoia group of people in my life!
Pointing out that historically UM has been unable to keep pace over time with coaching salaries, particularly among assistants, is now anti-UM rhetoric?
Jesus H. Is it also anti-UM to say that the Cane defense has been less than stellar over the last two years? That Dorsett has issues with drops? That the athletic department has had problems with leadership and fund raising?

I am a big Jedd Fisch fan. The timing of this move sucks.
That being said, everyone is REALLY blowing his coaching abilities out of proportion.
We out 13 pts at Kansas State, 3 against ND, and 20 against FSU. The three top defenses we faced. And both KS and FSU include a gimme TD with less than 5 minutes left in the 4th quarter. That is a 12 pt avg. per game or 7 pts per game if you take out the late TD when the game was over. And quite frankly, where would this offense have been without Duke Johnson? What about Fisch's redzone issues?
The continuity part of the equation hurts the most. But you know Golden will find a very suitable replacement and we will move on without a hitch.

The attacks on Fisch are entirely unwarranted. He just got promoted to an NFL offensive coordinator position - one of 32 in the world. This is a big-time promotion, both financially and professionally.
All the best to him. While the timing is unfortunate for us, i trust Golden to find an outstanding replacement.

Continuity and potential is what sucks IMO. Lots of first year players in this offense last year and while it was inconsistent, sometimes it looked downright scary (good)
For some reason, I'm not terribly worried about the actual playcalling now, but more the coaching of QBs. We all saw what he can do with them and we need to hire someone who can do the same.
Yes, great point. He helped resurrect Jacory from the dead and obviously made big strides with Morris even though he missed the spring.

Best of luck to Jedd. I understand the thinking, don't get me wrong, but personally I'd rather coach Stephen Morris than Blaine Gabbert and Chad Henne. Then again, I'm just a high school corch.
Why do a lot of people think the entire system has to be changed. If Al thinks this system works he will tell the new OC to keep it but just add on with his wrinkle it happens all the time. Baltimore is a game away from a Super Bowl and change their OC after mid-season and for someone who came over from spending a decade with another team
Doesn't really matter. That O is set on having a dynamic QB. They need one just to keep the D honest enough,
But Golden isn't going to change his philosophy, so this is out of the question. Besides he is going to get the Oregon job.
