The Great iBoldin Posted December 1, 2010 Report Share Posted December 1, 2010 Nice pick-up by the Canes, I love Gruden, and it's mutually beneficial. There is no reason not to do this. Gruden's bringing his guys in and with the talent level Miami has should be a good football team. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lkr Posted December 1, 2010 Author Report Share Posted December 1, 2010 I haven't seen anything official yet, but it might not qualify as an espn text. My only concern is I always thought Gruden was overrated and received too much credit in Tampa. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

My only concern is I always thought Gruden was overrated and received too much credit in Tampa. We've had conflicting reports all day. All I know is that if something weren't up he would have flat out said no by now so we have that going in our favor. I think this gets done but we'll see.

Lkr Posted December 1, 2010 Author Report Share Posted December 1, 2010 ESPN NCAAF - Joe Schad: Source says there is "zero" chance that Jon Gruden will accept the Miami coaching job Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JYD Posted December 1, 2010 Report Share Posted December 1, 2010 Always follow the money. Colleges don't care about A's, they care about $'s.True...unfortunately. But you can have both success on and off the field. And that's what a great coach will bring. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Flash Posted December 2, 2010 Report Share Posted December 2, 2010 Hocutt (our AD) met with Gruden today but we left with no agreement. There's interest but I think he's holding out for an NFL job. Now there's reports than Dan Mullen is in south Florida on a "recruiting trip". Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
xx. Posted December 2, 2010 Report Share Posted December 2, 2010 LOL flash I think you will lose your boner http://sports.espn.go.com/ncf/news/story?id=5871783 0 percent chance they're saying  but outta all people Donald Trump wants the Hurricanes to sign Mike Leach which IMO would be a nice solid pickup Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bigdog17k Posted December 2, 2010 Report Share Posted December 2, 2010 This is a really good opportunity for Gruden, I hope he just makes the right decision. I think he should sleep on it before saying 0% chance he'll take the job... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SRV Posted December 2, 2010 Report Share Posted December 2, 2010 Gruden is such an [expletive]...... I still say the coach doesn't matter. With the garbage we have at QB, we won't get anywhere. The defense is great, but the QB position just screws us repeatedly. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Flash Posted December 2, 2010 Report Share Posted December 2, 2010 If we have this much money to throw at someone...I think we should really make an effort at Harbaugh although it'll be tough to get him to leave Stanford. We were prepared to make Gruden the second highest paid coach in the country though so I'd expect Harbaugh to get the same type of money.

He's a perfect Big 10 coach. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest STL10 Posted December 2, 2010 Report Share Posted December 2, 2010 (edited) Hire Mike Leach, he is a genius. He made a bunch of 2 and 3 star recruits at Texas Tech win a share of the Big XII South in 2008. Also, he is/was a MAJOR reason Tech is going to their 19th consecutive bowl this year... Give this guy 4 and 5 star recruits, look the [expletive] out NCAA.

The Great iBoldin Posted December 2, 2010 Report Share Posted December 2, 2010 Leach isn't a bad idea, probably comes at a fraction of the cost and the air raid would be absolutely insane with Miami talent and athleticism instead of 2 star leftovers from Texas.

Flash Posted December 3, 2010 Report Share Posted December 3, 2010 I really like Dan Mullen for this job. He knows the state of Florida, he'll surround himself with good recruiters and his offense is perfect to recruit for in Florida. I prefer Malzahn, but Mullen would be great here, especially with Teddy Bridgewater coming in. Â Seeing what Mullen has done at a [expletive]hole like Miss. St. is impressive to say the least.

Flash Posted December 9, 2010 Report Share Posted December 9, 2010 Newest name being mentioned in the coaching search: Bo Pelini. Would be a grand slam hire but we'd need to hire a very, very good OC. I seem to be leaning towards Malzahn and then having the elite offense paired with a good DC like maybe Jim Leavitt.

Phightins Posted December 12, 2010 Report Share Posted December 12, 2010 (edited) Enjoy Al Golden. I hope he does well with a big program. The dude is fantastic, IMO. Completely turned around what was, 5 years ago, perhaps the worst division I program in the country. I am going to miss having a decent college football team in this area .

Flash Posted December 12, 2010 Report Share Posted December 12, 2010 Very excited to have Coach Golden as a part of the U. I think its a great hire for us. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Great iBoldin Posted December 13, 2010 Report Share Posted December 13, 2010 Does/did Golden run a 3-4 at Temple? They're producing several 3-4 compatible players on defense, and a lot of them at that. Should be a good hire for Miami, hopefully he can recruit to the fullest and return the U back to a national power again. It's certainly a possibility.

I just know that he is a hell of a recruiter. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Flash Posted December 13, 2010 Report Share Posted December 13, 2010 He coached in a 3-4 scheme under Al Groh but ran a 4-3 at Temple. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
