It's not like Coker and Chud were genius playcallers when we were piling up wins. They pounded the ball with our stud running backs and used it to open passing lanes to our stud tight ends and stud receivers, as our stud QB was protected by our stud o-line.

Exactly same recipe for Bama right now.

My guess is it will be a mixture of pro/spread like we ran this past season. We have the offensive line to butt **** opposing defenses up and down the field with one of the most explosive backs in America running behind it. I'm gonna be a little ****ed if we don't get some jumbo sets out there and man handle people on a couple of drives a game.

Def an intriguing hire, but risky.

Success does not come without some risk in any walk of life. Keeping the topic on football, Kaepernick keeping the starting job was a risk, and the Ravens firing their coordinator was a risk.

In life people that work for corporations making 100-150k and living a nice life with their families, quit all the time to start their own venture. They take the risk to succeed higher in life. Don't be a B or a C in life. Be and A or an F. Take the risk

Amen!
Preach it.
 
Initially I had some concerns about his lack of play calling experience and concerns about QB development but that's all out the window after what I've been reading today. I'm all in.

Well, Bama has also had a studly defense in recent years. We currently do not, so we need the offense to put up big numbers. Albeit I'm hopeful that we'll see significant improvement from the defense next year.
 
I've never posted, but you can't compare Coker to Chud, who left Miami for the NFL. That being said, Coley has more experience than Coker did when Butch hired him. I am just really curious to see what kind of offense he runs with the athletes he is going to inherit.

Coker had 13 years experience as an OC when Butch hired him.

Que? Coker had been an OC for years at Oklahoma State and then at Oklahoma before he went to Ohio State as a position coach and then coming here.

You cannot say Coley has as much or more experience than Coker did, that simply not true.
 
4 coaches now on the staff that are from South Florida. Cant imagine the damage they'll do when they have more time and no NCAA black cloud floating over them.

Here is a little more background on Coley (most recent FSU info is dated)

Florida State graduate James Coley moves into a new and expanded role entering his third season with the Seminoles and the sixth at the collegiate level. He steps into the offensive coordinator position, while retaining his duties as the tight ends coach in 2010.

Coley has previous experience as a college offensive coordinator, having held that post at Florida International in 2007. He also spent six seasons in the Miami high school ranks, including a three-year run as offensive coordinator at Norland, which won a state title. A two-year graduate assistant for offense at LSU, where he worked alongside coordinator Jimbo Fisher, was followed by two seasons on the offensive staff with the Miami Dolphins under Nick Saban.

As the recruiting coordinator the past two seasons, Coley has been instrumental in the Seminoles landing back-to-back Top 10 signing classes, which have helped re-stock FSU's talent pool. Coley's boundless energy on the recruiting trail earned him a huge fan following on his CoachColey twitter account.

Coley's work on the field has been instrumental in bringing the tight end position back to a place of prominence for the Seminoles. Tight ends Caz Piurowski and Beau Reliford combined for 24 receptions, 283 yards and four TDs in 2009; totals that were tempered by Piurowski's season-ending knee injury at mid-year. Still, the four TDs were the most for the `Noles from the tight end position since 1994.

Prior to arriving at FSU, Coley spent one season as the offensive coordinator and quarterbacks coach at FIU. The Miami native completely overhauled the Golden Panthers offense and established new standards for rushing yardage, as the unit doubled its production over the second half of the season.

In two seasons as an offensive assistant with Saban's Miami Dolphins, Coley had an opportunity to work with running backs Ricky Williams and Ronnie Brown ('05) when they boasted the NFL's seventh-rated rushing attack. In '06 he worked with the receivers, including All-Pro Chris Chambers and was responsible for breaking down opposing defenses as self-scouting as the quality control coach.

Coley's first foray into the college game came as a graduate assistant at LSU on offensive coordinator Jimbo Fisher's staff in 2003 and 2004. The Tigers won the 2003 National Championship and SEC title and played in the 2004 Capital One Bowl.

Coley initially crossed paths with Fisher while coaching high school football in Miami from 1997-2002. His first job was as the quarterbacks coach at Miami Senior, where he spent three seasons and worked with current NFL standouts Andre Johnson and Roscoe Parrish.

He moved to Norland in 2000 as assistant head coach/offensive coordinator and coached several players who had outstanding collegiate careers, including Dwayne Bowe (LSU), Kareem Brown (Miami), Alexander Bostic III (FIU) and Antwan Barnes (FIU) during a three-year run which culminated with the school winning the 6A state title in 2002.

After graduating from Florida State in '97, Coley received his master's degree in kinesiology from LSU in 2004.

Exactly! This is Miami we can't become a spread only offense. It has to be a mixture, I hate those spread offenses that can't score from the one because they don't know how to pound it.

Think about this for a moment Canes. Because no one jumped ship and headed to the NFL draft, we would have been a d*mn good team this coming season without a single one of the recruits we'll sign this year. Why? Because coach Golden has our current guys getting better - bigger, stronger, more committed to the game, more committed to our program, more committed to each other, etc. And now he goes out and puts us on the verge of adding a ridiculous class to the solid foundation he has built.

What's more is that he's addressed needs that WE Canes see all the time - like having athletic guys on the edges and safeties that are not only instinctive ball hawks but who are also inclined to dislodge an offensive player from his senses if they have the audacity to even think about making a play in their space. Love me some Deon Bush. Coach Golden is building a roster full of Canes who take winning every game, every series, every down, and every execution personally.

What's better is as we all know - 2014 might be the best collection of high school football talent in south Florida in a long long time - better even than 08. Coach even has Rashard Robinson seriously thinking about flipping his commitment. I think he will. I think the weight of what's happening here at this moment will be too great for him not to come on board, same with Collins, same with Thomas.

Yet, we are not even at the pinnacle of our elation because in two weeks Canes will again be featured as carrying their team to victory in the Superbowl. It's inevitable: either Gore or Ray, Ed, and Bryant will be front and center as Superbowl champions! In other words, we can't lose. It's time worn but true - "There ain't no stopping what can't be stopped. There ain't no killing...." oh you know the rest. Let go of your doubts. Look what is unfolding. We got this.

It's Great to be a Miami Hurricane!
