Said this on the football board:
Honestly, this is just an uninspired move. We can all recognize that while the program doesn't have enough money to go hire away a DC to be the 10th coach, like Ohio State did, there is a middle ground between that and hiring a guy who was a quality control coach on our staff. If we wanted to add a coach for our LBs, there has to be a good coach at a smaller program that has coached LBs before, would be affordable and would jump at the chance to come to Miami. Other than Kul, our position coaches on the defensive side of the ball have all had 0 years of experience as assistants before taking positions on our staff. Mike Rumph is the 2nd most experienced position coach on our defensive staff.
The coaching and development of our players becomes even more important if we're not getting all the guys we want in recruiting, and I'm having a harder time convincing myself that our guys on defense, outside of the DL, are getting the level of coaching we need to be successful.
Is this the end of the world? Of course not, but it's disappointing that we weren't able to add someone to the staff that has proven himself in either coaching or recruiting.
