This is why Golden is Michael Corleone. No emotion involved...very simply, it's strictly business.

My reason for not wanting his as OC has less to do with him being an fsu diehard and more to do with Jambutt being his offensive mentor. I don't care for Jambutt's offense at all. Never have.

Agreed, while it does bother me that we're hiring a Nole, my main issue is that the Noles offense is no good.

The Noles were top 10 in yards per game and points per game. Fisch led an offense that was outside the top 50 in yards per game and 48th in pts per game. Their schedule was a joke. That contributed to some of those numbers, but they put up points and yards with the handicap of having EJ Manuel running the show.

Why would FSU start a rumor about losing one of its best recruiters before signing day?

Golden went hard after Coley. Coley turned him down because he would rather work for the best corch and the best university in the country.

Coley chose FSU. Recruit, you should too.

Too much "Machiavellian" in that line of thinking. We're talking about Corch Jimbo here

genius.

The Coley Rumor still just happens to be a good ole fashioned rumor. Manny dug into it a lil bit and here is what he came up with:
Is FSU offensive coordinator James Coley a candidate for Jedd Fisch's old job at UM?

The rumors are spreading: Florida State offensive coordinator James Coley could be Miami's next offensive coordinator.

Settle down Canes fans. They are just rumors so far.

Nothing we've heard out of UM today or even FSU suggests Coley is in the running. We're not even sure he's been interviewed or spoken to UM coach Al Golden yet. But be patient. It's not out of the realm of possibility he could be.

A source close to Coley told me this morning the 39-year old Miami High graduate and former offensive coordinator under Mario Cristobal at FIU in 2007 is definitely interested in getting into a position where he could call plays and make a name for himself. Right now at Florida State, head coach Jimbo Fisher calls play. Coley prepares the game plan all week and then on game days assists Fisher from the press box.

Although Coley is a Florida State grad, a return home to South Florida for obvious reasons would be appealing.

"I grew up on Northwest 4th Street and 18th Avenue, about two blocks from the Orange Bowl," Coley told reporters in the days leading up to this year's Orange Bowl. "The Orange Bowl was ‑‑ as kids in that community, that was our playground. Hide and seek and running onto the field and throwing the football, getting chased by the security guards, getting out of there, and parking cars. You might have parked at my house if you went to one of the games."

Coley has always had strong recruiting ties to South Florida throughout his career.

At Miami High from 1998-2000 he coached Roscoe Parrish and Andre Johnson. He then served as the offensive coordinator at Miami Norland when Dwyane Bowe and the Vikings won a state title in 2002. He was then a grad assistant at LSU under Nick Saban for two years before moving onto the Dolphins with him for two more years. At FIU, under Cristobal in 2007, the Golden Panthers finished just 1-11 in Coley's only season as offensive coordinator. He then moved onto FSU where he's worked as the tight ends coach and recruiting coordinator and now the offensive coordinator.

By taking Coley away from FSU it would also further help Miami's recruiting efforts and hurt the Seminoles, who lost a number of assistants. Is that a reason to hire an offensive coordinator away? No. But it's another reason to give Coley consideration.

Stay tuned to see if this develops into something legit.

The handicap of a 5th year senior QB who started for a couple years? Let's see how that losing that handicap helps them this year. I think fsu fans will be in for a rude awakening if they think Manuel was holding them back.

As you noted, fsu piled up all of its production against some horrific competition. Don't like Jambutt's offense and don't like that he's Coley's mentor. The only thing I'd like if this move happens is that we'd be shoving it in fsu's butt.

Manny Ferman says it might not happen, but it might. Go have another Materva and a giant plate of greasy plantains.

Has anyone mentioned old Curtis Johnson? I think his name was Curstis. Our old WR coach. Last I heard he was WR coach for the Saints under Peyton.
