We'll see his value immediately. If he gets us a couple 2017 guys then it's a good hire. If he doesn't, then I question his juice.

what '17 kids does southridge have left that we'd want? I know Gibson is his own story and davis/gamble are already at UF

Did collier sign already?

This shouldn't just be about Southridge. If it is then it's a really dumb hire because in two years none of that team will know him. This hire only makes sense if this dude has a lot of local juice.

If Davis isn't enrolled in classes, then he should be able to get him.

Franchise I'm with you if this guy is the **** he must deliver immediately,buy this move has been talked about publicly for well over a week so it must have been in the works for a while which gave Coney enough time to work Davis and get him to swicth over.Davis been at UF today tells us that it didn't work.IMO this and Gibson is not good start.

Gibson I don't really care about. I think Rick saw the opportunity to drop him for playing footsies with Oregon, and he jumped on it.

Davis though. That one concerns me. Cooney has known for a couple weeks he'd be coming here. He should have been able to make that happen.

Agreed on both accounts. Davis is the only official "miss" to UF that bothers me, and he's already in Gainesville and likely enrolled, since classes started January 4th. Maybe he was skeptical the Cooney hire would go through? Dunno.

I get that we're hoping he lands us Pope in 2018, especially since Cooney was his OC, but I'm praying Cooney can help immediamente, with Henderson.
 
GENRON is not impressed, what's new!

Tweets out... [MENTION=4648]Pete[/MENTION]rAriz UM football recruiting getting bodied by a basketball dude smh

Is this tweet a shot at UM getting outrecruited in general or is it a shot at Cooney?

I think he is just saying we are making a desperation type move hiring Cooney because we are currently losing the recruiting battles against UF. A shot at miami, not at cooney.

Rumor is UF will make monster staff changes to upgrade recruiting

Guys, I've posted about this multiple times over the last 6 months. Florida hired the southridge basketball coach. He's why the Ridge kids (and Henderson) are favoring UF, not Shannon. Cooney v Heron!

yeah, that dude has been mentioned before on this board. From what I gather, though, Cooney is not just a Southridge guy - he's a 7x7 guy that supposedly has relationships with all sorts of kids, not just SR.

Pope and that other kid from Peter's vid the other day both mentioned Cooney and how they wouldn't be where they were without him.

Sounds like of all the guys who have influence of So Fla talent, we got the right one.
 
Miami is set to add local coach David Cooney to their football support staff, as he will join the program as an Offensive Quality Control Analyst.

Cooney was previously the offensive coordinator for the 2016 8A state champion Southridge Spartans and was at Coral Gables high school prior to that. Cooney has also made is mark in south Florida football over the past few years as one of the architects of the Florida Fire 7-on-7, whose team produces multiple top-level recruits each year.

The hire is expected to be made official and announced this week.

if it was about recruiting keep ice harris. btw, northwestern, and central was his old schools, so i hope its more than that.

Wouldn't it b more effective to spread that $60k directly to the recruits rather than paying for a highschool coach? Hartley could do wonders with that cash.

This is Miami's only way to combat the bagmen because lord knows the NCAA would nail us in a heartbeat instead of turning their cheek like they do to other schools.
 
Sad we need to bring in guys to get players from gulliver and booker t.... wow

every school in country does it. they go get guys from certain areas to help them get in with local coaches. every school does it. ridiculous the u would act like this is a statement about Miami's staff every school does it

Exactly we've been in the dark ages too long. Everyone else playing chess and we playing checkers.
 
I know nothing about this guy, but hope it pays dividends with local recruiting..
Bottom line is the same as always.... win and remake a name for the school or... just fade away

I haven't been on this site very long, but who is this Troll/Hater/A##hole NjCane? Everything he says is negative. You would think we went 2-10 this year and have the worst coaching staff in football. The sky is truly falling! Wow!

Not to be confused with NJshoreCane
 
We heard coach say there were some ailments from south Florida, maybe this has something to do with that!!!

Ice isnt plugged in like that. He has respect as a coach but thats it. Cooney works with 7on7s too so he has had exposure to more guys than just the ones at his school.

The way I see it, we have to overcome the stigma of 10 years of poison induced by Shannon and Golden. They turned us into the laughing stock of the power5... hence the inverted U thrown in our faces. Richt and crew are having to rebuild not only the culture but perceptions. I like what we are doing and IMO this hire is a great one in helping in that regard.

My concern Davis had to be aware and still left to ***ville
