Oh, 100%. Hindsight is always 20/20. I'm just saying, if you say no to Corey Raymond, you better be **** sure you got somebody better on lock. And I'm not even getting into the better argument, let's just say someone at least comparable. You don't say no to Raymond if there's an inkling of a chance you're left holding your **** in your hand.

And Corey could have said yes and then bolted for... Bama, after the fact... just like Mario did to us once. Welcome to the big time, guys. We now play in the deep end of the pool where people want what you have. We will be fine. This was one afternoon's volley in a 10 year war. T-Rob is a **** of a recruiter but we will be fine.

InsideTheU reported on Wednesday night that secondary coach Travaris Robinson was leaving Miami to take a role on Nick Saban's staff at Alabama.

One name to keep in mind through this search to replace Robinson is Colorado cornerbacks coach Rod Chance, who made the move to Boulder after spending the last two years under Mario Cristobal at Oregon.

Chance, a Fort Lauderdale native who played his high school football at St. Thomas Aquinas, has deep ties to Broward County, and especially at his alma mater. Chance was a key piece in Oregon's recruiting efforts for Miami signee Nyjalik Kelly, who was heavily considering the Ducks prior to Cristobal taking the Miami job. He was also Earl Little Jr.'s top recruiter for the Ducks, who got an official visit from the Alabama signee.

Chance also has connections to multiple members of South Florida's loaded Class of 2023.

InsideTheU learned that he played with Plantation American Heritage Top247 safety Daemon ***an's father growing up, and has strong ties to others in the area such as Fort Lauderdale Stranahan Top247 wide receiver Hykeem Williams and Plantation American Heritage cornerback Damari Brown.

All three of those guys have received offers from Chance at Colorado over the past ten days or so. Chance was also the primary recruiter to former Oregon commit and Top247 cornerback Jahlil Florence, who Miami was hoping to get on campus last weekend for an official visit before he canceled it for personal reasons.

While at Minnesota in 2019 as the Gophers cornerbacks coach, Chance dipped into American Heritage and landed wide receiver Douglas Emilien, who Miami also pushed for late in that 2020 cycle. During his lone season with the school, the Minnesota pass defense finished No. 9 nationally which was up from No. 51 the year before. Chance also served as the defensive coordinator at Southern Utah University from 2016 to 2017. He also worked at Rhode Island, his alma mater, and under both James Franklin and Derek Mason at Vanderbilt early on in his career.

TRob replacement will depend on the DC hire I would guess.

Would love Derek Mason + Zac Etheridge then add Anthony Campanile as LB coach. That would actually be a legit staff and actually an upgrade in the DB room.

Mason is one of the few coaches who could go head-to-head with T-Rob and Raymond. He has a proven track record and he’s not afraid to do whatever it takes to land recruits.

T Rob is all about being a HC. To him this speeds the process up.

It probably does tbh. If that’s what he has to do then so be it. The timing stinks though. But on the flip side, we are going to poach someone from another school who is recruiting kids and saying he will be there that’s going to leave some other school high and dry. Seems like just the nasty side of the business.

Quality db coaches that can teach and recruit are harder to get. He was one of the best and it sucks but not irreplaceable. He isn’t some miracle worker.

If Mario suspected T Rob might leave then he's a fool for not snatching up Raymond when he had the chance as some claim.

I don’t think it was as cut and dry as some of y’all think. Raymond took the UF job fast, lightning fast, it wasn’t like there were three days of keeping him on ice while Mario made T Rob pinky swear he was staying.
