The problem
God, I hope not. I would not shed a tear if Mike left Arizona, but Mark has a lot of potential as a head coach to go along with a terrific defensive mind. Unlike Mike, Mark actually takes everything in and makes calculated decisions instead of just going on instincts. Not to mention other things which I won't delve into.MigratingOsprey said:
I do think Coker is history after this season.
Interesting that he picked BVG as his number one choice - he took over a very demanding Georgia Southern team, but lost the home opener to Central Connecticut - that would be like Miami losing to Florida Atlantic.
Very good chance Norm Chow will be looking for work after this year.

The problem
Everyone is infatuated with Norm Chow, but you gotta keep in mind that everywhere he's interviewed for head coaching jobs (Arizona, Stanford, etc) he has absolutely bombed the interview process. Chow supposedly is disinterested in many aspects of a collegiate head coach such as recruiting, schmoozing with HS coaches and boosters, dealing with media, and things of that nature. He is an offensive guru who would rather eat, sleep, and breathe offensive schemes instead of doing PR stuff and managing personnel which a head coach mostly does.Dback Jon said:

Once again Tedford's name comes up you have to wonder do they just put him in these lists automatically or is he fibbing when he keeps saying how much he loves it at Cal?
Here are some factors to consider. Miami is a private school with a limited budget for coaches. Any coach who would come to Miami from public/state tax funded school will have to take a lower level payroll for him and his staff. That more or less could rule out Tuberville, Tedford, Schiano, etc.
Miami is paying off Perry Clark's BB salary ( done this year ) Fran Le Batti's Women's BB salary ( 2 more years) and would have to pay off Coker's remaining 2 years @ 1.5 mill ea.. They have to finish paying off the $ 2mill ACC entry fee. They have to pay off the $2 mill exit fee from the Big East. Every time the U of M football took in a BCS paycheck the General University Fund took the majority of the revenue. They owe a ton of money for the new BB arena on campus. The MarK Light Baseball renovation is on hold for lack of funds. The U of M relies on TV revenue and gate receipts for their football budget. With the program falling, both revenue sources are shrinking.
Pete Garcia , an assistant to Butch Davis, was brought back to the U of M Athletic Dep't. to figure out how to clean up the mess. He has a plan, but it is not exactly public info. Miami just dumped half their assistant coaching staff, which was a huge problem. The assistants were acting like head coaches and threatening to undermine Coker. These were not handpicked coaches by Coker, but leftovers Davis did not want when he left for the Browns job. Garcia hired these new assistants/replacements this year.
Any new coach to Miami will have to bring half a staff with him from an existing job or be one helluva big name to juice the PR. Coker is done, but his replacement is a secret.
P.S. Miami's student enrollment is less than 8,000, so forget about support from within.
P.S.S. Greg Schiano, ex DC from Miami, now HC at Rutgers is a good candidate, but it willl cost Randy Shannon, current dc, his job.
Norm Chow would not make a good fit at all. NO staff, no HC experience. Miami missed the boat when they didn't hire Marc Trestman. They still may go there and Steve Walsh/Bernie Kosar are becoming more involved in the program as advisors.
