5-7 But maybe even worse. Just a poor team all the way around. Thank God for the super seniors we had coming back this year!
5-6 wins seems about right, but less would not surprise me.
the question is…is that enough to fire diaz? if oregon finishes strong i think we should go after cristobal hard. the way he recruits is exactly what we need (big OL and big athletes on D)
I don’t see this team turning around. I thought maybe a 9 win season and Diaz keeps his job til next year. It’s honestly looking like a 5 win season now. I think he and Blake James are done in December.
So instead of talking about coaches, who are the AD’s UM should actually be looking at to make the next hire? I ask because I have no idea how an athletic department or if it’s the school president, how they make that decision of who to bring in for interviews. It seems like another realm where we don’t usually get it right though, doesn’t it?
ever since butch built miami back up, our BOT hired:
Coker - a coach with no previous HC experience
Shannon - a coach with no previous HC experience. could’ve hired Gary Patterson instead
Golden - so after two terrible hires, they go to Temple. TEMPLE to lead miami back to relevance. could’ve hired Dan Mullen instead, but no his ‘ego’ was too big for the BOT.
Richt - a head coach who was just fired from his previous job for…you know…not being good enough. yeah let’s hire that guy. Lane Kiffin was available and was doing a great job under Saban at the time.
Diaz - a guy with zero HC experience. didn’t even interview anybody.
i wouldn’t blame anyone who thinks that miami leadership is not capable of making a proper hire, let alone a home run.
What is your point Storm?! That we are on the path of Clemson, yet our payroll for staff and coaches is trash compared to Clemson?! You do know how much they pay their D-coord alone right?
Honestly - and I’m only half joking - sign him to a lifetime extension. It’s not like we’ll decide to hire anyone worth it. They’ll just continue the mediocrity.
I see us winning 5 or 6 games. We will lose an egregious one to FSU, because it is really the only game that will count, and we’ll relive unfortunately the debacle we suffered at FIU. No team can punish its fans like the Hurricanes.
We should have hired Leach. Three times we turned him away. He would have fit like a glove with Miami. Miami is a flamboyant place.
We can’t hire Mario… Look for a guy tearing it up in the small school league. We’ll get a bargain coach who has a history of kicking ass, just smaller asses.
