As an analytics nerd, I take great offense calling these cuckolds on the current Miami staff "analytics nerds"...only ANALytics they understand are the number of inches their wives can take from the back on an average Friday night.

It's already been reported Lashlee's is bringing over two support staff guys from SMU with him, Jonathan Brewer & Kyle Cooper. Brewer was a QC Analyst who's worked as an assistant QB's coach, assisted WR's at Auburn with Lash & Kodi Burns & worked with OL's at UConn, while Cooper is a GA & worked alongside the OL.

Neither of these guys IMO will be on field position coaches at WR & OL coach, I believe they're both being brought on as a QC analysts with Lashlee. I certainly hope Diaz wouldn't be dumb enough to make the same mistake twice & let the OC bring in a couple of green Corches.

The compromise should be, while its understandable he probably wants to bring in his guys to help implement & teach his system, he can bring them in as Quality control guys & assist with that process, but we MUST have legit recruiters at WR & OL coach, can't afford to waste a season with coaches at those spots who can't recruit at a high level.

DJ McCarthy - Was at FAU with Kiffin for the last 3 years, was at FAMU a year & Bethune Cookman for 4 years, before that coached at LSU for 3 years under Les Miles & was a high rated recruiter from 07-10. Also coached at UCLA under Karl Dorrell's staff (was Dino Babers assistant WR's coach at UCLA as a QC), also coached at UCF when Brandon Marshall was there under George O'Leary.

Is a local South Fla guy from Boca Raton & coached at Atlantic Delray Beach HS & founded a WR's academy which if you don't know, teaches young WR's how to run their routes, catch the ball, how to improve their speed, proper conditioning, doing drill work etc., & is a place where college draft prospects go to once they declare for the draft & need a place to prepare for the combine & continue to refine their craft. He's one of my top picks for WR coach, he'd kill it here IMO.

Darrell Wyatt - Current WR's coach at UCF, had Dredrick Snelson (who was originally at BTW, then transferred to AH & Flanagan) with back to 695/688yds seasons in 2017/18 & was a productive player, along with UCF's WR's Gabe Davis who ended up with 72rec 1,241yds & 12TD's this season, Tre Nixon with 49rec 830yds 7TD's & Marlon Williams with 51rec 717yds as the 3rd WR.

Was WR's coach at Ark St under Blake Anderson, was at Houston with Tom Herman for a season, was also an analyst for Mike Gundy at OK St & coached at Texas as WR's coach from 2011-13 when Diaz was DC. Also coached at Southern Miss when Larry Fedora was HC there.

Long time savvy vet WR coach, can recruit & teach the technical aspects of the WR position, plus would know Lashlee's offense being that's it's similar to what Heupel runs at UCF. It's rumored that he might be getting hired at TCU but it hasn't been made official yet, would definitely hire him in a heartbeat if I'm Diaz.

David Gru - Was Lashlee's WR's coach at SMU, was an analyst at TCU & was a GA at Cal under Sonny Dykes.
Not really too high on him tbh, other than being able to implement Lash's system I don't think he'd do much of anything here as a recruiter. Only listing because he was SMU's WR's coach, don't think he'd actually come here.

Ra'Shaad Samples - An assistant WR's coach for SMU, was at Texas in 2018 with Herman as an analyst & on campus recruiter & was at Houston with Darrell Wyatt as GA in 2016/17 under Herman. Originally played at OK St when Wyatt was WR's coach, then transferred to Houston & finished his playing career there, then became a GA.

He's a young upcoming coach, I wouldn't hire him as a the full time position coach this season, he's a Texas guy that I doubt would even leave to come here, but is a name to keep up with in the next few years if Lashlee sticks around for longer than a season, has potential to become a good recruiter, would bring in as an analyst until he maturates into a full WR's coach.

Frank Wilson - Was HC at UTSA but was fired last month, was AHC/RB's coach at LSU under Les Miles & was well respected recruiter. Coached WR's at Tennessee under Lane Kiffin, also was RB's coach/Recruiting coordinator at Southern Miss with Fedora & coached at Ole Miss as RB's Coach for Ed Orgeron.

Is a New Orleans guy & is well respected recruiter locally down there in Louisana, obviously not a traditional pure WR's coach but is well known to be a recruiter, literally the only reason he's ever on any staff is recruit. Wouldn't be my first choice, but would take absolutely to help improve our recruiting.

George McDonald - Was the Co-OC & WR's coach at NC St for Dave Doeren, long time veteran coach who was at Miami as WR's coach in 2011/12 with Folden, also coached at Cuse under Scott Shafer.

NC recently hired Tim Beck (Herman's OC at Texas) as their new OC just two days ago & McDonald is still on staff but was demoted from Co-OC with Des Kitchens to just WR's coach & Recruiting coordinator. Kitchens was their RB's coach & OC but he got fired & replaced by Tim Beck as OC & Kurt Roper as RB's coach. I doubt we would bring back McDonald but with him essentially being knocked down in status, IF we missed on other coaches would see if he's interested in leaving NC St.

Aubrey Hill - Current WR's coach at FIU, was HC at Carol City from 2012-16 & lead CC to a State championship title in 2016. Is a Gaytor that played & coached under Spurrier but is a local from Miami (CC) & was at Miami with Shannon for 3 years & actually did a good job recruiting WR's. Doubt we would go back to Hill, but just from a recruiting standpoint I wouldn't be against it.

These are just a few, there's several others that we could bring in, will probably add a few more until we know who we're hiring at this spot.

Ok Liberty, we’ve proven that Manny reads your choices as evident by his selection of Lashlee 🤣. I hope he’s still reading on here or Rhett so we get one of the top flight WR and OL coaches we can so that there’s so resemblance of improvement offensively for the 2020 season. As bad as I don’t care for Manny or Fake, I do want to play well especially for the kids and to help 2021 recruiting. If we can secure some better coaches on that side of the ball we might just do that.

Another one I didn't put in the OP was Bryan McClendon, was former OC for Muschamp at South Carolina, but got demoted this season & almost fired if he wasn't for Coach Brown vouching to keep him & saving his job lol

I left him off because he's an old Richt protégé, very good recruiter, but I think most of yall would be against hiring him.

If he can teach, develop, and recruit I don’t care if he was a protege of Richt or not. We’ve got to do what’s best for the football program regardless of bent feelings.

Precisely Chise.

Our staff needs an infusion of guys who can sell the program & get LOI signatures, we don't really have a dynamic ace on staff that can do that, we need one on Offense & Defense.

We're only discussing the WR's coaches now in this thread, but I sincerely hope somebody on the BOT or Highsmith if he's brought in sits Diaz down & makes him understand he needs to send Patke on his way, he's a worse recruiter than Rumph which is really saying something.

I'd get an elite recruiter at WR coach, fire Patke, find me a top tier recruiter on Defense like Cornell Ford & bring on Telly Lockette as a Special teams coach as well just as icing on the cake.

This staff needs a total reshuffle on Offense & Defense.

Fire patke, Banda, and Rumph if they don't want to take analyst positions. Move Stroud to analyst too. Hire a monster DL coach. I like Ohio State D line coach but thats a pipe dream. Hire Corey Raymond as DC and hire back Barrow or Winston Moss. Im not connected with the south Florida stuff but if Telly can get signatures find a spot for him as special teams coordinator. I think Corey Raymond would leave LSU for DC title. Manny of course could heavily influence the gameplans with him while he is still green at play calling

Miami drags their feet with everything, but Stubbs & Berry are supposed to both be gone within the next week or so.

Is it possible we keep them, sure, this is Miami the worst case scenario is always possible, but Diaz would literally be insane if he did.

There's individual(s) on the BOT willing to spend the money to bring in a solid staff for Lashlee, there's no reason to keep Stubbs or Berry, especially considering they were both Enox guys.

My guess is Diaz and lashlee are gonna meet and go through a list of potential candidates for both ol and wr coach lashlee will have most say in o line coach if I had to guess
 
Liberty City El said:
Started to list him, but from what I know of him personally he doesn't have the time nor the interest to be a full time coach lol.

He helps out with the WR's all the time at MNW, but no way he would be a college position coach, has too much going on in personal life to dedicate all his time to coaching.

He would absolutely set the trail on fire though, NOBODY in college football would out-recruit Ocho.

Not yet, would wait a few years before bringing him on.

Has potential to be a great coach being that he's learning under Bill O'Brien with Houston, but would be a bad move for his first ever coaching job in college to be the full time WR's coach at Miami.

I get what you saying but some guys just have it. Mike Vrabel retired from the nfl and osu hired him immediately as a position coach.

I like the way you think. If we're talking Corey Raymond at DC I actually like that move but I would also add Charlie Strong as Asst HC/Defense. This would add a tremendous amount of experience to the defensive staff and it would mitigate Raymond's inexperience as a first time DC. Also since Raymond is one of the best DB coaches in the country we could hire Ed Reed to coach safeties and he could always lean on Corey Raymond If and when he needed to.

Apparently DJ McCarthy is likely moving over with Lane to Ole Miss to fill the WR opening.

I read they are also considering Tee Martin though.

one of these days, i need to hold a clinic on why someone may not be a good coach, just because they were a great player.
