Who would you hire for HC?

I think you take whatever money you can muster and start upgrading assistants. The best OL/DL money can buy, I'd also probably fire half the staff this year, and get guys that can recruit and teach.

Fire Joel Rodriguez he is the only staff member from all the **** coaches. He has to be the curse or cancer.

Leach or Urban. At this point the school has lost more money hiring crappy coaches. My buddies and I were just talking about how we were able to keep our kids watching UM by showing 30 for 30 but the interest is fading. They’re 11 and have never seen a good team.....

Diaz was desperate to come here from Temple, please tell me he doesn't have any type of buyout.

Here is the criteria

-Do not hire anyone that has ever been fired, anywhere, at any point. (I'll take my chances passing up on the next Belichick, who was fired by Cleveland)
-Do no hire anyone without HC experience. We don't have the decision makers to make a Frost type hire.
-Do not hire anyone from a failed regime
-Coach must show prolonged success vs peer opponents in conference.
-Don't even think about culture fit, **** it, thats peripheral nonsense that'll over complicate things
-Go with an offensive minded coach. Would much rather an offensive HC pick his d coordinator, than a DC picking an OC. Defensive minded coaches are often ****ed up in he head about what type of TOP oriented offense they want to run.
-This is probably going to overlap with not hiring anyone who's been fired or doesn't have prolonged success, but don't make a "Recruiter" hire. We need schematic advantage. No one, and I mean no one is talking kids away from bags to play at Miami at this point. Show kids schematic advantage and competency, and more will stay home.

Norvell fits the mold off the top of my head.
What Bill Clark is doing at UAB is crazy, just want to see more sample.

Mike Gundy checks most of those boxes. The only question I'd have for him is, "what will your assistant coach hires look like?"

If they've shown enough prolonged success they already know how to pick a staff. That's a question you'd have to ask guys like Cristobal, who don't bring anything to the table and need assistants to carry him.

Manny doesn't check ANY of the boxes, lol. Terrible

He's been fired, no HC experience, part of a failed regime, no prolonged success, over emphasized culture fit, defensive minded. The only box he may check is that he can't recruit so no way it was a "recruiter" hire.

I’d really like a hiring process that lasts more than one afternoon, involving not the BoT, but some serious alumni lawyers, program supporters and former players like Alonzo Highsmith, et al. Then let the chips fall where they may.

What gets me about Manny is he had elite talent at Texas, he faced one team w equal in OU. So I already knew no matter the talent level he has he cant scheme that talent to do what was needed to win. So what makes anybody think he magically will be a success here is beyond me, what are you going by

F it. Let's play this game. Assume Manny's buyout is $8m. They paid Temple $4m to get him. So from that I'm guessing their wouldn't be top money. Say $3m a year tops.

Norvell makes $2.6m at Memphis. Leach is at $3.75m. Honestly doubt we'd have the cash for Leach even if they had interest.

Maybe too cynical on my part, but I think the best we could do is someone like Jason Candle. Unless you either want to get weird and look at a triple guy like Monken or gamble on a coordinator without HC experience.

Freeze me up, but will never happen. Haven't really seen anything from Stoops that sugguests he'd be capable of playoff caliber offense anywhere. Miles was recenty fired, pass. Cristobal, already failed at HC, pass.

Brown and Norvell have put success on paper so far, offensive minded, modern. Would be at the top of the realistic list.

Not even thinking about hiring an assistant at this point.

No on Fickell, that Cinci offense is hard to watch.

Schiano is about as in the box as you can get.

I’m gonna need a better reason to like Matt Campbell than that, because Manny is literally 3 plays away from being 5-0 this season. So that doesn’t tell me anything.

Well he actually has accolades for his coaching abilities. MAC coach of the year, 2x BIG12 coach of the year, and AP coach of the year. Still need more?

Bill Clark--UAB
Jason Candle--Toledo
Mike Leach--Wazzu(This would be my fallback, I would also pay him peanuts in order to surround him with the best staff I could possibly put together)

In a sane world, Miami would have a booster stand up, buy out Diaz, and then go out and make a hard push for Campbell at Iowa State.

I'm tired of hearing about these money issues. We are a private University, which means our money isnt subject to scrutiny by the state. We just need to be creative and think outside the box.

The school should set up a trust tied strictly to the football program. This way when boosters or alumni wanna donate to the football program, the money goes to the football program and not the schools athletic department. Place the athletic director, some members of the board of trustees, and some prominent football alumni on the board of directors of the trust. Raise the money through the trust to pay for some quality, experienced coaches. Use to pay buyouts if you must, like for Matt Campbell.
