Staff Changes - 1/2 AM Update

[jslida]

If retains Banda as DC, he is settling like a MFer.

How is he settling if he running basically the same thing Manny was running?

 

[RomeoJunior]

Diaz looking at Seider contradicts the theory the OC brings his own staff, doesn’t it?

Why would the OC be allowed to bring whoever he wants? This isint the NFL

Dont listen to stuff like that

 

[SinisterCane]

Nationwide search will end with Blake being named OC

 

[caneballza]

Told you guys, time to bring Coley home.

 

[mianjomar]

If Coley is brought here, Diaz is settling. Complete and utter *****.

Anything except recruiting coordinator and you are correct.

 

[Tad Footeball]

Fedora, Ponce & Seider that's the combo

An Texas Italian, a Cuban and a black dude walk into a recruit's house. They walk out with a commitment.

 

[Canes_U_Pride]

Fedora, Ponce & Seider that's the combo

Anything else is uncivilized

 

[caneallday21]

And another one on the staff. Tee Martin would be my choice as a position coach

Tee is getting oc offers so he wouldn't settle for a regular position coach job

 

[avax]

Most exciting part of the update is Seider. We need dogs.

Hes one **** of a Recruiter that could help us with our recruiting. Please Hire!!!

Where?
Ga tech was interested and they just hired one. Was Louisville looking at him as an oc?

 

[Genghis Cane]

Anything on Applewhite?

Hopefully no.

Barring contract delays, I’d expect to hear something announced by the end of the week at offensive coordinator. Coming out of the holidays, I’ve heard former UNC head coach Larry Fedora is indeed the leading candidate. I’m told there’s mutual interest here and Manny is working hard to make it happen. I also heard Fedora turned down the FSU OC job earlier this offseason, so he's truly looking for a place that's the right fit.

The other name I’ve heard thrown around is former Miami OC and current Georgia co-OC James Coley. At least one current staffer is pushing for Coley to get the job. I’m told Manny is absolutely out to make a splash with the hire and is thinking big. For this reason, if Miami can’t come to terms with Fedora, I’d expect other names to emerge first before Coley becomes a leading candidate.

Since Manny won’t settle for anyone too green, if Louisville QB coach Frank Ponce joins the staff, I’m told it would be in the same capacity, not as OC.

For RB coach, I can confirm Miami’s top target is Penn State RB coach Ja’Juan Seider, and there’s mutual interest coming from both sides. The biggest issue is going to be coming to an agreeable figure on the financial side. This is in the early stages so still a lot developing here.

that staffer needs to be shown the door.

Oh didn't know GT just hired one my bad

 

[RomeoJunior]

With that potential offensive staff they will be better than the defensive staff. Wonder if that gives Manny pause to that side of the ball even if they are his homies.

You're saying they go fishing alot or something?

 

[linesniper]

Hopefully no.

I hope not, but my understanding is the Applemeister is plan B if Fedora falls thru.

I hope they go after Neal Brown as Plan B. Runs the NASCAR spread.

Question: why doesn’t Telly ever come up on these short lists? Badass recruiter, from miami...

 

[Babscanes]

Got to appreciate Manny going for big time hires. We cannot accept green guys at the coordinator positions anymore. Look what Saban does. He hires former head coaches for the most part and up and comers. Perfect mix of experience and new ideas. It will be easier for Manny if he has a former HC on staff to help him with the offense.

 

[Astcloud11]

If Coley is brought here, Diaz is settling. Complete and utter *****.

If Coley is the backup plan incase we can't get anybody else, I'm fine with that. Remember, Diaz can only spend as much money as the BOT allows.

 

[Astcloud11]

Coley was mediocre at Miami without bags.

Coley was the lead recruiter for a bunch of the few elite kids we pulled under Golden.

 

[SonnyLong]

He technically has not hired anyone as of yet, but everything that he has done so far has been in a "thinking big" capacity. I don't mind him keeping Banda and Patke on the staff, as long as they are not DC's.

Agreed 100%

How is he settling if he running basically the same thing Manny was running?

You are naive if you think Banda will be as good as Manny is. Manny is a CEO now. He should seek to hire someone better than he is...so that he can hold them to a even higher standard. Hiring one of your flunkies who has never called Defensive plays is settling. A major mistake.

A defensive coordinator with only 3 years of Collegiate coaching experience is bad for recruiting Optics. Can you imagine the negative recruiting? "Well, their defensive coordinator has never called plays. The defensive coordinator has only been coaching for three years."
