Spoke to someone close to the Coley situation (non-Miami)

[cane since birth]

sorry if there is a post said this, im not reading thirteen pages of posts, but Coley never called the plays in FSU, Jimbo did, we dont know what kind of play caller he is, so it is pretty hard to grade him out as a coordinator, i would take a chance at him from a recruiting standpoint he would do wonders here in south florida, our coaching staff will be the best recruiting staff in florida IMO, i say bring him in and see what he can do, im pretty sure Al wouldn't let him dismantle the offense and put a new one in, and if i remember correctly he does have a little NFL experience, didn't he coach under Saban with the dolphins?

So why do people insist that Coley coached at FIU before Cristobal, in 2006 when basically everything I can find says that he coached at FIU in 2007 (with Cristobal) and was with the Dolphins during Nick Saban's tenure there (2005 & 2006 seasons)?

It seems like people are trying too hard to look for only the negatives of this potential hire, and Coley being OC in 2006 (when FIU averaged 9 ppg) is more convenient than the apparent truth that he was OC in 2007 (15 ppg)

First of all the year is not very relevant it is what actually happened there that matters. In 2007, FIU was 1-11 and the team averaged 15 PPG. In 2006, FIU averaged 9.58 PPG. The bottom line is in both years FIU was dead last in scoring. I understand 5+ PPG improvement but big deal. It was garbage.

Second of all, calm down and stop negging me because I was off by a year.

Third, the point that matters is that he lacks playing calling and QB coaching experience. This is what I am focused on. This is it. I understand he is a great recruiter but I am concerned with Xs and Os.

I negged you because you falsely corrected someone who had the right info and tried to make some sort of point out of it

The point still matters. He is not a good OC. Extremely good recruiter YES. But he is not a good OC.

And you know this well enough to make a statement like that how?

You need to read the thread.
