OK, if the trio of Chud, Butch and Schiano are the top 3...

candidates for the UM job( and again, Im with those who think they should sit down for at least a lunch at Olive Garden), who do you want and why.

Here's my take on all 3 guys:

- Butch: great eye for talent, has built programs, knows the UM culture and an unbelievable recruiter. And with Paul Dee no longer there, honestly, I think most of the harsh feelings from his departure are forgotten about. Downside is that his UNC run ended in a bit of shame and perhaps the administration would be hesitant of touching him. Far as Im concerned I let bygones be bygones....

- Chud: highly regarded coach, and D$ and I have talked about the potential for him to put together a very good staff that would be perfect for Miami and S. Florida. What concerns me is that he's been out of the college game for about a decade( hence, the importance of a strong staff) and I worry about his ability as a CEO of a program

- Schiano: Yeah, did a very good job in rebuilding Rutgers and honestly, dont care about his tenure at Tampa Bay(his style is made for the college game, not coaching grown *** men) and he's an aggressive guy. I like the fact he's been at UM before and has led a program as the head coach

So what do you guys think?

LATE EDIT: Just wanted to add, IMO, I think whoever is the new guy, I think certain staffers like James Coley and Hurlie Brown( among others) absolutely need to be kept on for recruiting purposes and keep current verbal commits.

Chad or Schiano. Butch and his actions at UNC will haunt him for a long time with this regime IMO

Butch? Lol are you people serious? He was in trouble with the NCAA before, no way.
 
Nothing should haunt Butch from his days at UNC because he was cleared of any wrong doing last month by the NCAA.

We should still be haunted by his days at UNC. Bring back Butch!

That would be a stupid decision to get a coach that was in trouble before, we were in a bad situation till this year.
 
I'd like to see Schiano in Miami. At Monkey Jungle.

**** him. **** on the program once, then did that Dog and Pony Show with Shalala so she had an excuse to hire Radio.

That's TWO " **** You's" to the Canes, and I don't need a third.
 
James Franklin is impossible. Is making 3M+ in Vanderbilt and the admin wont pay that plus compensation.
Schiano and his military style would scare Miami recruits imo.

Chud or Butch

Only if Schiano is the fall back and not the prime target. He would be the floor, others the ceiling

Agree.. but if he took the job I guess I'd move on from that. Chud turned down a chance to interview twice already.

Butch will load the talent beyond anything out there, especially if he keeps Coley and Hurlie. Mike and Art are probably solid to stay. If Butch has improved as a game day coach, then probably favorite. Cheapest-- Donna will like that.

Chud, my choice. Will want a Miami type DC. Great QB guy and will make Coley a complete OC in a couple years but will have to ley him call plays. Only draw back is not college HC experience. Will jump back to NFL HC, but that will probably take him winning a NC first.

Schiano seems fine, but at the moment I have bad taste for NJ and I think he is from there.

Since Franklin didn't get TX or PSU, anyone think we have shot at him and do we want him? Could Miami beat Vandy right now?
