Holy Cow, Miami cleaned house

Miami's standards are similar to notre dame's these days for athletes. When Shalala came in, she up'd the minimum SAT/GPA scores and changed the requirements for high school classes to be taken to get into Miami. Miami is one of the better schools in the ACC. Obviously Duke, UVA, Wake, and UNC are better but they are def. closer to the top than they are the bottom.

have at it. He would have sat on the bench for 2 years as a safety at miami regardless. Hes a good player but 1 player is not a team make.

This is a start. Good to see that the folks from The U are committed to cleaning this mess up. Too bad the axe hasn't fell on Joker yet.

I think he can become a figure head like Bowden, but he definietly needs to get the best assistants.

I cant post the article because its a pay article but he fired soldiger and hargreaves and didnt even give them a reason why he fired them. They asked why they were being fired and he said he would rather not get into it. Thats some fat Phil crap right there, I dont have nearly as much respect for Coker anymore.

I agree. If I were an assistant coach who's boss fired me, I'd hope that he'd at least have the testicular fortitude to tell me why. Heck the RB coach? That's iffy anyway. Yeah, fire the OC obviously.
So the question for us is who's out there that we'd want at OC to start with? Miami is an attractive lure, so we should have a broad list, but with the turmoil at this time, we would have to have a tough as nails thick-skin no doubt.

Id like to have Chow, hes not happy in the pro game so he might be leaving but I dont know if he would ever come to miami. He worked for chuck amato so he would probably work for anybody.

Whoever they get though, they need a guy who has a system that has sound blocking schemes. You know as well as I do, when miami is good, they are blocking well and when they are bad, they arent blocking anything. We need to block well and get the ball in the playmakers hands. There was no run after catch in Werner's system and that was a huge knock against it. If we get a college assistant, I hope its someone from out west, maybe an ASU, Oregon, or USC assistant.
