Sounds more like Hummer is weighing his options.
Bingo. Great point. I’m not a huge Feldman guy but his silence was deafening.
I mentioned this elsewhere. I went to school with Bruce and Mario, and the fact that Bruce has barely reported on the UM coordinator/assistant process...should be proof enough that Manny is playing his cards CLOSE to the vest.
People giving Cribby and Jay and Leeds a hard time, meanwhile Mario's 35-year-friend isn't getting any scoops either.
Only reports were that there were “talks” between both sides. This latest leak he was offered seems to be self serving from his side.So Kendall has officially been offered?
What about a Clint Hurtt type lmao?I’ve tried to talk people off the ledges. The names I’ve heard are all good hires, meaning I’d be happy with any of them. That’s why I’ve been been positive with the whole thing. I know people expect the worst after the last two decades but I’ve said this is different and the proof is now in the pudding. The HC and AD search and money thrown around should tell you we won’t be hiring a Patrick Nix type. Those days are over.
So now you are deciding what his "end game" is? Apparently it makes sense to himThat's not his end game. I don't care if fans hate on me. It makes no sense for him to come. It doesn't benefit his career. He's already a head coach with a job and is lined up for a P5 job soon.
I'm speaking the truth.
Yeah, probably Mario and Rad spoke with Briles and expressed interest, but didn't actually offer the job. Briles saw he was likely plan B or C and just used the situation to get a raise and then tell Miami he's no longer interested...knowing he probably wouldn't have gotten hired anyway.Here’s my line of thinking on the OC if anyone cares…
I know Candle is far and away option number 1
Mario was signed/sealed/delivered to Miami but it dragged out an entire weekend and into Monday so he could address his team.
Toledo returns to campus today I think - keeping it under wraps gives Candle time to address his team and staff in person. Mario probably wouldn’t hire him unless he felt the same way and wanted to do that for his guys.
Jimmy Sexton got wind of it going down - used it as a last chance effort to get a raise for Briles.
This is all me trying to piece together what is happening. Not putting a stamp on this saying it’s exactly what happened.
For a second I thought this was former NFL RB and Miami-native Tim Lester and was going to comment. Then I saw that he unfortunately died of Covid last December. As teen girls say in Miami....I felt crunchy.

I'm a Seattle fan and most people on the boards say he is a nice guy, but no one is pining for him to be the next DC. However, that is the rumor and knowing Pete he wants to keep the status quo and someone he can take play calling fromWhat about a Clint Hurtt type lmao?
Connor, why did you and your family call him Mo when his name was Lester?And either guy is certainly better than that guy Moe Lester...
I felt kinda bad that I couldn’t get anything on the coordinators , it took me digging enough to know all the people saying the knew the coordinators and that they were hired were full of ****. I’ve still got my rocks off with portal commits and the other staff hirings. After Feldmans Manny buyout tweet I was disappointed in him and his info.I mentioned this elsewhere.

Hurtt was turned down during the last DC coordinator search.I'm a Seattle fan and most people on the boards say he is a nice guy, but no one is pining for him to be the next DC. However, that is the rumor and knowing Pete he wants to keep the status quo and someone he can take play calling from
I would think that Cristobal would talk to Highsmith about Hurtt. He is a great recruiter, but I have no idea about as a coordinator. Highsmith would probably know a lot more, if he thought he had what it took, or if it was a bad idea.I'm a Seattle fan and most people on the boards say he is a nice guy, but no one is pining for him to be the next DC.

He left MAC to SEC as OC
How many freaking clients does Jimmy sexton have
I know he was 100 % a candidate for a olb / DL and maybe co dc role. I posted that when all this started, he was a name I was hearing. I never heard play caller though. Never.What about a Clint Hurtt type lmao?
