How about mark richt. The ex Georgia coach. He won more games at Georgia a harder conference than Miami and he still got fired. Mark played at went to Miami.

It will be Charlie Strong Teaxs he will be the next head coach for Miami he is not the right fit for Texas. Texas needs a coach the connects with the Texas High School coach and he doesn't do that for them

i think lane kiffin would be perfect for this job Miami has talent what they need is a coach they have a qb the r loaded lane would take that persona of the canes and make it come alive he has tudored under nick saban he ready put him in that hot bed of talent and the canes will b back
Charlie Strong...not doing to we'll in Texas but those are the old coaches players and Texas fans are not treating him right so bring him back to South Florida at the U and dominate

I am a Cane from my 1968 and 1968 football seasons at Miami (Junior College Recruit). Another coach mentioned has been Doc Holiday, Marshall's head football coach. He does have an impressive winning record at Marshall and he is a known and respected recruiter of Florida athletes. Marshall currently has many South Florida athletes on its football team.

@ PJ. Why do you think it s necessary to be a U alum to have an opinion? Many of the fans that comment here grew up in the (305) and have been avid fans and supporters of this program their entire lives. What makes an alum any more special? If they were, problem solved...right?

Bring back Butch to get back the culture of UM football and get recruiting and excitement back, but also bring someone in as an assistant to groom to be the next HC so we aren't starting over in 5-6 years.

I'm a die hard Volunteer fan & can't stand the guy for the way he left us(we're making progress after the Derek Dooley debacle) but Lane Kiffin's your guy. Hell of a recruiter and offensive guru. That's who'd I'd at least talk to
PJ - 8 years ago
I always wonder how many of the fans that post actually went to the U? We have to get a coach that can recruit and has the ability to keep South Florida talent home like Double J did. Butch can do it as he built the best college team in history and set the record for 1st round draft picks in the NFL draft.

1. Chip Kelly; 2. Man Campbell; 3. Brent Venables; 4. Chud; 5. Kirby Smart. Intriguing ideas: Kingsbury, RichRod. (Cristobal is dead to me.)

DC: somehow convince Randy Shannon?
LBs/Recruiting Coordinator: Ray Lewis (pipe dream)
DBs: Ed Reed
Keep: Kehoe, Scott, Swasey

Like the idea of non ex alumni to coach, but Dorsey for OC would be something to consider. Butch have too much water under tha bridge to come back, agree Cristobal bail out after Golden hire him, we need consistency in coaching. Other name is our past OC Jedd Finch, he did a great job too.
Tim - 9 years ago
Texas Tech head coach Kilff Kinsburry would be a good fit. Texas Tech isn't a place where you can be a consistent playoff contender. He's a good recruiter.

J.Johnson will never coach again, Schiano prefers jersey area as home , not in touch with players,they will never rehire B. Davis, Fuente shows real promise but does not have established relationships/ contacts in this area, Chudzinski an interesting option, but I like M. Cristobal, bringing first successful season to FIU, a good performer for UM, 4 years as assistant head coach, offensive line at Alabama under Saban, named recruiter of the year in SEC, with established relationships with local high school coaches, would now be able to put together an outstanding coaching staff that would recruit and develop top talent using hard learned teaching skills and methods.

Ken Dorsey is an intriguing name to throw in the ring. He has a great football mind and significant experience on the Panther's staff. He would probably fit with the pay limitations everyone seems to know about. Is he mature and self-assured enough? Can he recruit? I feel like we need a defensive lockdown coach as So. FL has a ton of offensive talent to recruit from. Who's the DC at Boston College?
Tony - 9 years ago
Charlie Strong. Texas needs to stumble down the stretch for him to get fired, but if he does he would be an absolute grand slam hire.
JMart - 9 years ago
I have no idea what the h@!! Craig is talking about! Check your facts, son. Butch resurrected the program and built the 01 Canes, the unquestionable GOAT.
Butch wanted to stay and was happy in South FL, but I don't know one person who wouldn't leave for $5MM a year.
And as the article you allegedly just read clearly stated, Butch was never named in the allegations of academic fraud, contrary to what the media portrayed (HC is always the face of the program).
Just watch The U, Part 2... It explains it all there.

The winning season he did have was with another Coach's team! Butch Davis, wasn't he the guy that said he was "happy in south florida". But hauled ass shortly after that statement?!! The same Butch that was fired from UNC for academic issues?! Isnt he the same coach that helped the programs demise? C'mon "fans" know your program better than that!! Get real!

Don't get me wrong, but we need an all new coach, not one that has been here before or an assistant and/or played (look at their record of coaching before deciding). I like Butch, but age please.cLet's go after a fresh face with a fire in them like Butch and JJ had. We need someone like a "Harbaugh"that makes our player play and hold them accountable for the "UM Swag" because they don't know or play like they know it! Make them wrestle so they know how to tackle and bring a player down?

Bring back Butch! The only one listed with enough clout to keep the BEST local talent here. We still get a 5 star difference maker from time to time and some quality 4 star players like Yearby and Walton, but wouldn't Dalvin Cook, Sony, or Collins been nice? Still HATE that we let Matthew Thomas get away and Rudolph too. Tim Irvin and Scarlett too. We need to get back to being THE option, not a third choice for our top flight recruits and Davis is the only one who can do it right away. Period. Even with his age, the man is smart about the on field product, but even more than that, he LOVES this program! We NEED that kind of passion are the lull of the (non)Golden era. There's a reason why PSU went with Franklin. They knew about Golden`s inability to coach big-time football.
While we're at it, can we get a poll about our next A.D. too? Blake James and his lack of leadership is about the only thing that matches Golden`s ineptness on the football field. Time to revamp The U with legitimate leadership. Go Canes!
