Richardson gone, RB coach search Thread (Lockette, Bennett?)

[TP800]

On another note. Wish UM would hire Larry Bluestein. Or at least put him on the payroll.

 

[The Franchise]

That would be an awfully short stint by Mario and something I doubt very much he'd do. He already said he turned down an NFL gig to come here. Why leave for the same sort of low level position corching gig now?

 

[Ari Gold]

Edge would make a good coach..

 

[Mbecks22]

the only former player i want back one day for sure is Ken Dorsey.

I know he's coaching and I think he would do well in a role at UM eventually

 

[NoahZach]

And Chud is talking to Mario...but I don't think Mario leaves.

Mario will be at UM one year, maybe two, waiting for an HC gig. Coley probably won't be at UM much longer.

Word is that FSU is going to hire a high school coach from South Florida onto the staff in order to set up recruiting down here now that Coley is with us and Gran is gone.

 

[CaneDaddy]

Wouldnt mind the Donnell Bennett hire. Guy was 10-2 as HC at Northeast.

 

[Kevin]

Does the school Northeast produce elite talent? If so I would go with Bennett

 

[UMcanesfan420]

Don Soldinger is 68 so I am not sure he is still up to it

Nick Saban is 62 or 63 and I bet he has to work more hours than Solly ever would have to.

This. Was going to post the same thing. Mario's back in the fold. Bailing before his first practice would not help him here.

 

[TheU32]

It's pretty safe to say we can trust Golden he will make the right hire on this.. Right?

 

[FullyERicht]

I'd move Coley to RB corch and hire a real guru QB corch. Pretty sure the Soldinger ship has sailed. Dude's 100, and you don't need a technical expert at the RB corching gig. You need a monster recruiter there.

Ya know I just joined this site, and have said out loud "amen" to nearly every single thing u posted. AMEN.

 

[Problem2]

He turned down Schiano for something similar, I hope this will be the same.

 

[Willz3317]

"IF" Bennet takes running back job, is there anyone in 2014 at his school he could bring??

You guys should pick up uncle luke

No way Crystalball burns this bridge for a RB corching gig in the NFL. I think his ultimate goal is to be HC here, and this wouldn't go toward achieving that goal.

Exactly. His cards actually line up well to be a future head corch at the U, if he just bides his time and plays nice. Give us a year or two, take another HC gig, then get the nod when this seat opens up.

 

[Problem2]

Sources tell us former Panthers RBs coach John Settle will join the #Browns staff FootballScoop.com/the-scoop
8:03am - 7 Feb 13

Hallelujah

 

[ssj4cane]

Wouldn't mind finding a dedicated qb coach that we target to move up as a playcaller when Coley leaves.

True, but there is a much bigger difference between 62 and 68 than there is between 32 and 38.

I think that UM HC is what Mario is looking at. Did he pass on another hc job while at FIU? I think he's trying to stay as close to S Florida as he can and if he stays he will be HC when Golden moves on.
