Kirby is insignificant. Saban is the DC.
Smart makes all the on field adjustments and calls during the game.
Bad argument--the Coker buyouts are done, the buyout for Shannon was set low in his contract extension for a reason, and the main donors are the ones that drove this decision. I've heard anywhere from 3-4 million per season is available to hire the next HC. The money issue is moot at Miami starting now.
They're still all Saban's calls and adjustments. You could get a trained monkey to call them in during games. Saban's the best DC you can get though. What he does with his back 4-5 is better than anyone. Could you imagine putting Chavis (who's front 6-7 is always awesome but back 4-5 is lost) with Saban?
boy Chavis lost him some money Saturday tho, those two huge long pass plays and Knile Davis carving them up was bad.
but yeah, if Chavis had an elite DB coach, his defenses would be unbeatable. just needs a secondary coach to keep him from going prevent at all times lol
There's a reason they call it 3rd and Chavis. I always hoped for 3rd and 2-3 instead of 8-15.
it was bad, arkansas was able to just carve up the LSU secondary.
and late in the game the ark rush game was just murdering LSU. the LSU front 7 is too good for that, but it seemed yesterday that they have given up. It was a lousy display from both the LSU players and coaches. Until they got the ball back, they had just given up. Letting Ark dominate them at the LOS and in the passing game.
No offense, but I'll take my Miami sources over yours. According to what I've heard not just in the past 24 hours but in the past couple of months is that IF Shannon were fired that this next hire would be big b/c the donors/player alumni won't accept anything less.
1.5 Billion were raised in the past few years by Shalala and the BOT for numerous improvement projects across campus. Most of those came in non-earmarked endowments for use as the University saw fit. Most of those non-earmarked ones were planned previously to be put toward an already flourishing University Hospital and the Law School. BUT--there's nothing standing in the way of shifting some of those funds to the Atheltics Dept to be used for the football program.
If you knew that already--then that's awesome. Not sure you did though, with the whole "money issue still being big at Miami and not being up for debate" comment.
If you've got better sources that say otherwise, I'm all ears.
you can believe what you want, but Miami is not flush with money, they dont sell out their stadiums, their fan support has waned terribly, and Gruden will want at least $4 million a year.
if your "sources" say Miami that can spend $5 million a year on Gruden, well then lol cause I seriously doubt that happens.
and you think Gruden is gonna come to those sub-par facilities? they would have to do a total renovation to get decent facilities first, and thats another huge million dollar payout.
Miami is not in good financial shape, it hasnt been in a while. I didnt think that was even up for debate. Its known that Miami has money problems.
If these big alums and donors are willing to shell out all this money, why dont they fix the facilties? or a new stadium closer to campus?
