Some names to watch before it’s deleted

[CreativeCane]

Silence is good until he’s hired. Could all be shot down today.

Agreed. The fact a reporter reached out and didn't get comment back is typically smoke. Same thing happened with Mario and Rad, no?

 

[AK_Cane]

He does not and would be calling Freeman’s D

Exactly whereas if he comes here he will have full control. Seems like a no brainier

 

[JZCane0825]

Seems like the ND guys believe that Belk might be their next DC .. anybody have a feel on this?

Just find it hard to believe that ND is going to convince him to leave a job where he has complete autonomy calling his defense to go run someone else's defense

33” is max size on gulf side.

Yeah I don’t always follow the man’s rules. It’s the end of the world as we know it; I gotta take advantage before it becomes regulated to virtual reality fishing only. BTW, I’ve never seen a Warden at a kayak launch off in the cut.

 

[swampcougar1]

Well for one, how do we know he didn’t reach out to Lewis/Lester?

I just think from a philosophy standpoint, Candle just aligns with what Mario wants to do. The modern style that scores and attacks you in a variety of ways but there is an emphasis on running the pill. He traditionally has done that very well and we all know that coach is going to want to do that. At the same time though we will not be anything close to a plodding, boring offense under Candle either simply because he has never been that. IF he takes this job, its obviously a stepping stone gig with the best weapons that he has ever had and that is extremely exciting to me. An X&O wiz is one thing but one that is extremely motivated and that has NFL talent including an NFL QB is another thing. He can also just focus on being an OC, not the million other duties that HCs have to handle.

I would love this hire. In addition to the above from watching films he adjusts his play calling game by game also. Depends on that opponents weak points on defense.

Throw $2M at him and make him say no.

I’d be concerned an NFL HC would be lazy on the trail.

 

[Brickell]

So, is it a good or bad thing it’s very quiet today regarding Candle??

I don’t think it stays quiet for long.

There are only two ways this goes down:

1. He gets an extension and stays at Toledo (highly unlikely given this past season)

Or….

2. He leaves Toledo and becomes our OC.

The subtext of the FootballScoop article is basically “Pay me, or I leave.” and I don’t think they will pay him.

 

[JZCane0825]

Exactly whereas if he comes here he will have full control. Seems like a no brainier

Unless ND is his dream job and/or he has a history with Freeman (doesn't look like either are the case) but if anything, we would also have the leg up as far as personal connections go since he and Mario both overlapped at Alabama.

Ngl if we don't get candle @Number1CanesFan gone come through with the Windmill swinging d everywhere. Not that any of his points were valid but this gone be bump city lmao.

 

[PBJFanatic]

I think we sign him this week.

 

[UMinati]

**** bud, atleast claim to have a legal fish when you post a pic of it online

Dammit I mea to put 31 1/2.

Weird, I've never seen a snook with shaved lips and trimmed tail before.

What is Candle making now?

 

[CAT5Coming]

I'm not going to respond anymore to all the irrational comments.

It's clear thst people are incapable of of thought and dialog without it being all about Miami. It isn't. Apply what I said to any other school.

If Candle was quiting his job to the OC at FSU, you'd say he's a fool.

He's going to be a P5 head coach if he wins in his league. The MAC is the farm for P5 coaches.

So, it would only make sense to leave if you don't believe you can win or you have issues with the administration.

This may have been a take 10 years ago but the Coaching job market has changed drastically in the last few years/months.

1. Consider the person whose singular motivation and actual job is to get Candle the most money over the course of his career, his agent. His agent put him up for this job as OC at Miami. Why would an agent put their client on a worse career trajectory? Do you think you know the intricacies of the college coaches market better than Jimmy Sexton? - BETTER CAREER TRAJECTORY

2. As witnessed by the changes at UM, Coordinator salaries at the top of the power 5 have sky rocketed in correlation to HCs at p5 and G5 and compared to NFL assistants. Why are more coaches than ever before leaving NFL jobs to return to be college coordinators? UGA OC, Oregon DC, Michigan DC, LSU Dc, etc etc. - MORE MONEY

3. Fundraising, Administration, hiring/firing, supervising recruiting, budgeting, community involvement, human resources are all head aches that a HC has to deal with and an OC does not. - LESS HEADACHES, BETTER QUALITY OF LIFE

4. QB. Show me an offensive head coach or OC that is moving up in the world or held in high esteem and every single one of them has something in common; they've all had GREAT QB play. You can't move forward as an offensive coach without it. Being able to have A+ athletes to showcase what your system can do. If you are trying to create a resume line offense wouldn't it be a good idea to work with one of the top 5 QBs in college? He got low 3 star Logan Woodside to the NFL, imagine what he could do with TVD. - THE BEST QB HE'S EVER WORKED WITH

5. Miami will be on national television for most of it's games and will be featured in primetime two or three times. No one will see what he does at Toledo and if fans don't see your work they are unlikely to be clamoring to hire you. It would be impossible to have success at Miami and not get national media recognition. - BIGGER STAGE, MORE RECOGNITION FOR SUCCESS

So hey he may not take the job, but it's perfectly logical for him to pursue it...

TLDR:

Better career trajectory, more money, less problems, the best tools for success you've ever had, and more recognition.

Job Title.

If you don't believe us just ask Jimmy Sexton.

 

[CanesFan93]

I'm sure this has been asked but if it is Belk, who coaches LBs/Edge? I also wonder how well T-Rob will receive an unfamiliar coach like Belk, who also coaches the same position, as opposed to going to UGA to be with Muschamp.

 

[canes_aaron]

IMO Candle is already hired. The fact that there was no info being released for weeks, then all of the sudden his name leaks as being targeted, and given the situation with Toledo's current AD, and I read somewhere him and Mario have the same agent, this seems like it should be a done deal

 

[Tony4Canes]

What is Candle making now?

$1.2 million year

Would be hard to see an outgoing AD given a football coach an extension

 

[TRick72]

These comments drive us crazy, but you gotta think, if these dudes are 25yr old or younger, miami hasnt done much of **** to them.

Sure I understand when fans of other schools make it BUT TOLEDO????
