These guys are money, 99% of the time. They told us about the Shannon dismissal 4 hours before it happened Saturday night and were very consistent with their stuff yesterday. Peter King has no ties to Miami, no inside info when it comes to this program either. Again we'll see but it looks like the admin. is looking to make a big splash with this hire. That alone gives me hope that we'll be good again.

There's only about 5 trusted insiders when it comes to UM, 3 of them post on the Scout boards and yesterday all 3 confirmed that he signed. Not only that, but MNF's "Chalk talk" was canceled today IIRC and there's rumors that Gruden was on campus today around 1PM. We had a press conference scheduled for 2PM today but called it off but no one knows why. Like I said, there's too much smoke here for there not to be any fire.

Lots of smoke out there with Gruden. He would've flat out denied it by now if there wasn't mutual interest. I'm not getting my hopes up, but there were more than several trusted UM insiders saying that it was a done deal. If Gruden falls through I think you have to go Gus Malzahn or Dan Mullen.

Absolutely.

The rumors about his job are getting to him, its clear as day at this point and that's why you're seeing a change in him. Later on in that same article IIRC there's a quote talking about how he's just not a motivator. He's nitpicking now and that's not what the fans have wanted from him. We want a more open offense and for him to show that he can light a fire under these players. Both of which he hasn't been able to do.

It also says A LOT that Wade is semi-bashing Spo as well. They were perceived to be very close since early in Dwyane's career.

He's becoming one of those because of desperation. There's a good type of in your face and a bad one as well. Me thinks this is the bad type because its just not in Spo's nature to be in your face. Regardless, he's lost this team and the move should've been made already.

If we had traded for Marshawn, we'd be killing it right now but of course we went the cheap route.

Neither of them would be doing anything here. Dorell is built for a fast paced team and Beasley was bound to fail here (if you even meant Beasley).

Well, everything I'm hearing says that its gonna be Gruden and that the deal is already done.

Back to the actual topic now. Very interesting news coming form out west that Gruden is off limits from the media this weekend and there's a ton of reports coming out about him and Miami. We'll just have to wait and see now I guess.

Miami's student body has a ton of people from out of state and our alumni base is spread out across the country so we really don't have as many alumni in Miami as people think.

5 National Titles, 2 Heisman winners, 35 consensus All-Americans and countless NFL players ain't bad for a school that was irrelevant up until the 80's. Obviously USC has more tradition than Miami, they've been playing for much longer and have won many more games and national titles. No one is debating that lol. That's also a huge part of their attendance as well. How far is the Colosseum from USC's campus?

USC has a student body of 34,000. Miami's is 15,000. That has a lot to do with it as well as USC being on top of college football for close to a decade now and having 1 of the best college coaches ever coaching them and now a very good one in Kiffin. Miami has been mediocre since 05..when attendance started to dip. Again though, attendance doesn't mean one team has more tradition than another. Tradition is national titles, Heismans etc. You really know nothing about the state of Florida do you...Tallahassee is a dump lol including FSU and so is G-Ville outside of UF, which is beautiful. Have you ever been to Tally? FSU is the only thing there. Of course they're going to sell out all their games.

Are you stupid bro? Gainesville is a college town, has a massive student body, massive alumni base and there's nothing in that town besides UF. Same goes for FSU. You do realize that Miami has nowhere near the same sized student body right? lol @ either of those schools having anywhere near the tradition that Miami has.

Really? They almost beat the top team in the NFC on the road today and were a horrific call away from winning it.

<br><br>No one said Richt to Miami, but if he gets canned from UGA then Miami could definitely be a landing spot for him either as a HC or OC. Third fiddle that has more tradition than the other 2 combined lol. We're having a better season than UF is too even with our struggles. You have no clue about what you're talking about.<br>

We're a small [expletive] private school in Miami which is the furthest thing from a college town. Not some gigantic state university like USC, UF or FSU with a huge student body and a gigantic alumni base. I agree, fan support should be better but when Miami is winning, the fans show up. Just look at the OB up to 05. I don't get what your doing in this thread besides knock Miami every chance you get. You've added nothing. Anyways, us turning down Gus freakin Malzahn better mean we're hitting a homerun with this hire.

Malzahn will not be offered the job -_-, nor will Mike Leach. Whoever we get will have to have head coaching experience whether in the NFL or college.

Why is this guy still allowed to post?

**Jon Gruden Voice** That Michael Vick, that guy, he's a really, really good football player ain't he?

DWright baby! So glad to see him and Beasley playing well this year. A wide open offense like the Warriors is a great fit for Dorell's game.

I don't really see Bosh as a guy with a massive ego. I think he knows he's the third wheel and has accepted that and as a result has played pretty nicely the past 5 games. I think the problem with Wade and LBJ is that they're both actually hesitating to take control of the game.
