claver2010 {l Wrote}:Miami is not a good job

You have shitty facilities, job doesn't pay that much, and a craptastic / delusional fanbase.

Yeah you're in a goldmine of talent, but everybody else pillages that area as well

Positives:
- relatively easy competition in ACC Coastal
- excellent talent pool
- national attention

Negatives:
- 2-3m salary
- facilities
- oddly powerful and difficult former player cartel
- basically no high school recruit remembers that there ever were Miami-glory-years

Being in the Coastal Division has to be the biggest draw, arguably the easiest division in the P5 to win. I think Miami actually could be a decent job, but it's in a pretty bad tailspin. Best case scenario I've heard discussed is Charlie Strong getting fired in Texas and being willing to take a pay cut for Miami. He'd kill in recruiting and given a few years and the easy Coastal could really do some damage.

And regardless, whatever the problems of Miami, it'd be considered a much better gig than BC.

Miami is a great job due to the talent in walking distance! All they need is a decent coach and a sizeable police force to protect the players.

Miami is a terrible job. Yes the talent is there but I haven't seen a coach in 15 years we able to win with it.

The Miami job sucks. It shares many of the same institutional challenges as the BC job but the fanbase and powerful football alumni are delusional.

They may have just made three bad hiring decisions consecutively. Coker was an uninspiring internal hire who shared his predecessor's loss of control over the program but wasn't good at winning at the same time. Coker was supposed to get control over the program, which I guess he kind of did by being so bad on the field that the coolest five star recruits didn't want to get shot at Miami anymore. The Golden was a square peg in a round hole. Hire Petrino down there and they are in the playoffs in four years IMO, which separates them from us by a wide margin.

Kids don't want to play at Miami anymore. They are a distant third behind FSU and Florida. That stadium sucks, it's way off campus, no one goes to the games, etc.

Petrino wouldnt get them anywhere near the playoff

Anyone saying Miami is a bad coaching position is wrong:
1) Name brand to sell to recruits.
2) Elite recruiting territory.
3) ACC Coastal
4) ACC Coastal
5) ACC Coastal

Who cares about the alumni or how many people come to games. For a potential coach, if you can recruit talent and you have a winning scheme, it is the EASIEST division in the power 5. That means wins, that means ACCCG's, that means playoff discussion, that means career opportunity. You don't need to find a coach that wants to spend the rest of his life there, just someone that wants the best possible opportunity to take a team from irrelevance to relevance and enjoy all the credit for it. An opportunist. PLENTY of those out there.

I've heard the argument thrown around that Miami should really hire someone in the Big 12 mold. They have the athletes in the Miami area to run an aggressive, uptempo Baylor/TCU spread offense, which would be a novelty in the ACC and could be enough to put Miami in the Coastal race starting almost immediately, since you can ride freshman in the skill positions.

They're ranked 13th in the 247 recruiting rankings. 2nd in the ACC. Even with a coach that was clearly getting fired.

Miami is still a good job. Golden got them a practice facility and weight room upgrade. An embarrassing amount of local talent. Enough of a cool factor in Miami itself that you can sell it to select national recruits. The fans suck, but they suck everywhere in different ways. Winning a national championship at Miami is very possible. It is not at half the other Power 5 schools. They might still screw up the hire, but that doesn't mean it is a bad job.

This is incorrect, Hep-stein.

he didn't spend 8 years earning his microdick so that you could ignore that about him

So maybe we won't need to???????? I really find it hard to believe that anyone would hire this guy.

This totally reads like one of the two unnamed sources is Adazzio. He "would be interested no matter if his BC job was safe."

He actually would be good to get them respectable, I think. A win-win, which is rare for Adazzio. If you're Rutgers, I guess you tell yourself it's so hard to win at BC, he's been handcuffed the whole time, yadda yadda
