UCLA is arguable...only reason it's better would be the drastically lower expectations.

The Miami job is like Tennessee or Nebraska job...it's good bc of the history and former players BUT the expectations make it hard bc the fans/alumni expect 10 wins within 3 years...
I don't think Nebraska is ANYWHERE close to being as win ready as Miami or as a good of a job.

For 1 the job is in Nebraska:scust:

Pelini did about as good as one can there in this day

They're a good coach away from 8-9 wins per year. If stoops gets nfl talent to come to tornado alley ass Oklahoma then the same can be done with neb. They have a huge thirsty fanbase with loads of alumni support.

History means less and less to the new recruits. It used to be you had to go to to those schools that were good in the 80s just to get on tv. Lots has changed.

Don't get me wrong, many of those "old guard" schools still have deeeep athletic department pockets even without the recent success (mich, Texas especially) but Miami doesn't have that level of support. Michigan or Texas can sustain a decade of mediocrity and still throw an enormous contract a coach and still sell millions in apparel.

ND has not won anything meaningful since beating FSU in '93 yet I see ND apparel daily.

Sec schools are snatching Dade County kids left and right. Their name doesn't hold weight anymore :francis:. Miami's next hire will be crucial for their future.

Teddy Bridgewater and Amari Cooper wanted to play for Miami. All the kids want to play for Miami, I have no idea what Al Golden was doing
I don't remember Coop saying that :jbhmm: I just remember him saying he didn't want to play in Louisiana. But you're right about Bridgewater. They didn't even offer did they? :ld:

A NFL player like John Brown who is looked at as a bright young receiver in the league had to go to a FCS school like Pitt St. In Kansas.

He's from Miami, the talent is there even with the kids who are not 5 stars in HS.

Exactly...that's what Jimmy Johnson and co. used to do...draw the line from the interstates and ACTUALLY SCOUT and find/lock down all the talent from the interstate down.

Teddy Bridgewater and Amari Cooper wanted to play for Miami. All the kids want to play for Miami, I have no idea what Al Golden was doing
so did Landon Collins (his favorite player is sean taylor, he said miami never even showed any interest in him)
future 1st round offensive lineman denver kirkland was all set to enroll at miami until golden botched his recruitment
and al golden didnt even want (current NFLer) denzel perryman, said he was too small
devonta freeman was pissed at miami because they weren't serious about recruiting him

the list goes on

all of those NFL caliber athletes either wanted to be or had serious interest in miami, none of them gave a shyt about facilities or booster money or a stadium or any of the shyt you clowns are talking about

a coach worth a damn finds a way to keep them in south florida and coach em up. suddenly miami is back to being contenders, winning 10+ games and competing for titles

at worst miami is a top 20 job. when the machine is rolling it's even higher simply because you have central, booker t, northwestern and st thomas aquinas a 15-20 minute drive away.

N1gga, u know them nfl players aint got the kinda guap where they can donate 100s of thousands and not feel it. Thats a private school, yet u dont see them pushing upbthe price for a coach. They cant afford too.

Places like USC got 1 or 2 boosters that have more guap than all of Miami's famous alumni combined. Thats why the job is overrated. Former nfl players dont have power. Powerful boosters would not sit back and let the orange bowl get torn down. Look @ what tcu and baylor built, that oil money :wow:
We need that Dwayne Johnson stimulus package :mjcry:
