I'm not sure why this bogus "people only like Dorsey because he went to UM" argument keeps getting recycled.
Talented and rising assistant coaches are identified all the time. In college and in the NFL. At some point, every coach has to take a particular job "for the first time". The only people insisting that "prior experience" is a non-negotiable are our fans, while the person who does the actual hiring is Mario.
It's just bizarre. In one breath, Dorsey-haters bring up every disqualifying argument possible as to why Dorsey should not be a first-time OC at Miami...and then in the next breath, they swear that Dorsey is about to get an NFL OC job, just as soon as the NFL dominoes fall, and as a result, we should not hire him.
So who is crazier? The multiple NFL teams that seem poised to make Ken Dorsey a first-time OC, and AT THE NFL LEVEL? Or our Dorsey-hating fans, who cannot tolerate the possibility that Mario would consider hiring a first-time OC, and AT THE COLLEGIATE LEVEL?
Again, unlike some, I have not advocated for Dorsey to be hired. There are a couple of other guys that I think would work as well. And I think Dorsey might be hired if a couple of other guys go elsewhere. But Dorsey is NOT "unqualified", and he is NOT "attractive", or getting an offer, solely because of his diploma. He might ACCEPT a college job at UM solely because of his diploma, but that is different.
