🏈 Miami coaching job (Al Golden fired)

[EdfromT'town]

Would Kirby Smart be tempted with the Miami head coaching job?
Pros are its a good recruiting area, not in the SEC, has a football history--however thuggish--and he would bring SEC defense into the ACC. I know the program is a dumpster fire but would be a major school for him.
I'll hang up and listen now.

He'll be listening to a lot of schools. But, like you said, the program is a dumpster fire and will take a lot to fix. I don't think you want your first HC job to be one that takes so much more to fix than playing better football.

They now play their home games in the stadium that the Dolphins use, and it is some 40 miles from campus. Students aren't inclined to attend, and the stadium is usually half full or less. If Kirby wants a HC job he should not consider this one. It is a program going the wrong way, and it might short circuit his HC career before it gets started.

But even when Miami played in the Old Orange Bowl it wasn't their Home. This is something that really get me. Went Miami broke Bama home winning record the win Miami had, while playing at the Orange Bowl shouldn't count as a home game.

He might listen, but I get the feeling he will have more to choose from than just them this year.

We need to put an all out campaign for our offensive line coach to get the Miami job...

If Nick doesn't think he can do the job, he won't be around. He doesn't have to get another job to be gone.

Doubt he would even take that call. Don't know many other than alumni that would want that dumpster fire!

 

[Bamabww]

Personally, I hope he doesn't take the Miami job.

I have a hunch CMC may be getting that call. The man is a great recruiter.

It would be a helluva opportunity for Kirby! He would bring some toughness and not too hard to improve on Golden's record.

IMO, there are too many behind the scenes issues to deal with. 1) The stadium is a 45 minute drive from campus (with no traffic). As a result, student support and attendance is difficult. Imagine if all of Alabama's games were played at Legion Field. 2) You have a football alumni that likes to meddle into your business. Players from past teams get in touch with current players to "give advice." Many of those football alumni come from the thug days of Miami football when everything they did was against NCAA rules. If it worked for them, it can work today. 3) Because of the former alumni, too many boosters can get access to current players. Again, if they were paid before, why shouldn't they get paid again?

Playing better football is the easiest thing to fix.

I see Kiffin going to Mijami before Kirby.

 

[PhillyGirl]

Aaaaaaand he's fired

 

[planomateo]

No surprise.

In other news, video up on youtube of Sumlin drunk at the hotel...(I can't tell if it's Sumlin due to the quality of the video)

Brother needs to be gone. I don't care how he's gotten rid of, bottom line he maybe a great recruiter but he's not developed our offensive lines anywhere close to where it needs to be.

I have seen on SEC.com that more than just one of Coach Saban coaches is going be in somebody hunt for a coach.

Alabama could potentially lose a lot of coaches and players at the end of this year. Kirby and Lane are prime targets. There are other coaches that have been head coaches before, but now they have Saban training. I'm sure Henry will be gone along with most of the defensive front. It wouldn't surprise me if Reuben Foster jumps (although he would benefit like Ragland did from another year).
