Really?
This brings me to my point. Once the UM legends start retiring a lot are going to want to be position coachesat the U. Ie Ray Lewis, Ed Reed. Which HS talent wouldn't want to play for those guys
And why would they want to do that?
RE: Old School 'Canes...
Some of them are better off working elsewhere, not necessarily coaching at the U...some of them at high schools both locally and in-state...some of them on TV...some of them in other realms...
Guys like Michael Irvin and Ray Lewis on television or just being guys around the program, do so much to promote the U, free of charge, on a national stage, why would you want them restricted by the NCAA's rules and that of being on the staff.
Coming to the U, these kids know they have these guys at their disposal any time they want to reach out...they don't all need to be on the staff.

I'll say this about Al Golden - he doesn't just hire "yes men." We have a lot of coaches on our staff now who could be head coaches in their own right. I like.

Beast Mode....
Al Golden is not afraid to have his peers work with him.
D'Onofrio gets a lot of heat around here, and justifiably so after last season, but he could be a head coach at Temple...he's turned the job down twice. Cristobal is head coach material. Kehoe is a position coach, but he's been around the block for a long time. Barrow can be an intimidating guy.
this was my immediate thought as well. and cristobal will learn a ton from a CEO perspective from Golden.

With the season ending loss for Uif and the coaching departures at FSU, this hiring looks really good IMO. Miami is showing itself to finally be on solid ground again, losing a solid position and filling it with a guy like Cristobal is a win.

It shouldn't be a surprise. NCAA or no NCAA, Golden is in a much better position today than when he put together his original staff. He was the coach of Temple, and we had a serious, serious talent problem. Joining him at UM is more attractive than it was a few years ago when he first arrived.
I was saying to someone today that 5 years from now we may look back on this staff and see that there were 5 Head Coaches or so.
Great hire AL

**** yea. Mario is a great recuiter. Love his addition.
Love the hire. Smart smart hire. Think about this - FIU fires an up and coming coach in Mario and hires Ron Turner. Is this really life? We lose a really good up and coming coach in McDonald and replace him with Cristobal. Just really impressed overall with the way Coach Golden is running the program. I imagine Mario feels the same way and that's a really good sign.
Just got in from work.
AWESOME!
Ruthless hire.
This is a phenomenal pull of a recruiter even if he won't be here long.
