The stadium situation, the general sleaze - I can't think of a shittier "blue chip" place than the U. Yuck

I'm amazed he lasted this long. Miami has been mediocre or worse now for, what, almost a decade? He's basically been a shade over .500 for most of his tenure, never in contention in the ACC, and hasn't really recruited all that well, which is stupidly simply at Miami.

With his Florida recruiting ties...I hope not

why do people keep assuming that these major P5 programs are going to hire a coordinator with one game of head coaching experience? UCF is far more likely
October 25th, 2015 at 10:22 PM ^
head coach. They could take Jim Caldwell right now.
Does Miami have the budget to bring in a big name coach? I'm skeptical they will make an offer big enough to lure someone like RR. More likely they go after someone like Fuentes.

I read today that they can't come close to South Carolina money and, in a discussion of Herman, that they wouldn't be much of an upgrade on Houston money.
They have the facilities and the budget of a high mid-major or P5 bottom feeder with the expectations of a top-15 program. It's honestly a horrible job.

Richt goes back home to the U. UGA fans rejoice until they realize that he was actually better than his replacement.

To be fair they played anybody, anywhere when they were building the program. Scheduled schools like Michigan, Florida, FSU, Notre Dame, etc in the regular season. I don't think its fair to say they were dodging tough games.

This is how the 75,000 seat Sun Life Stadium looked last Saturday, five minutes before kick off. This game featured the a 4-2 Miami team versus a #6 ranked 6-0 Clemson team, so I would imagine this will probably be the best attended home game for Miami.

Where is Brandon when you need him?

If Michigan played in Toledo, UM wouldn't have the attendance records it's had for the past 30 years. Put a stadium in Coral Gables and hire a good coach and Miami would draw 60-70k every game.
I'm surprised how many ppl on this board are not aware of the recruiting advantages and passionate fan base Miami has locally. A Dade high school all-star county team would crush an all-decade all-state team from MIchigan. And all of those kids grow up Hurricane fans.

Why won't they just put a studium on campus? That seems to be one of the biggest complaints I hear out of that area regarding attendance...
October 26th, 2015 at 12:20 PM ^
and still in the heart of it's fan base. There's nothing comparable for Michigan, maybe Novi/Northville.
A stadium on campus would be very expensive to build. Land is scarce. The estimates are way up in nine figures. We spent $226 million just to renovate. Where does a relatively small private school get that kind of money?

People were worried about Golden bailing on Miami after the big recruiting violation story broke? Supposedly Golden wasn't told about it before he was hired... Ahh, those were good times.
