The Miami program is over.
Even Cristobal isn't interested in that gig. They are in a fertile recruiting area. However, that area is highly competitive, and they have a fan base that has attendance figures that wouldn't even fill 5 full sections.
You sound concerned.
You have no idea what you're talking about. It's more than just a fertile recruiting area. Miami had tradition and history. It's been done by 4 different coaches since the late 70s. Four different guys have won titles there since 1983.
Yeah it's competitive. Every fertile recruiting ground is competitive. For a good % of those recruits, Miami is where they want to be. And for another %, they can be talked into it by a good recruiter ... like Mario.
Not too worried. Miami now has to compete with Georgia, Clemson, and South Carolina on top of Florida, Florida St, Alabama, Auburn, and LSU. They also haven’t been consistently good since recruiting has gone national. That fertile area is getting picked over by 9-10 more schools than it used to be. Oregon being one of them.
Also, why leave Oregon when the school has a flag planted in downtown Los Angeles?
You think national recruiting just started happening? JFC.
Where were you when Penn State, Michigan, Notre Dame, Ohio State and the entire SEC had flags planted in Liberty City? Miami as a program was born out of having to talk blue chip (that's what we called them way back) out of leaving the area to play elsewhere, which was the default play. Pete Carroll recruited Florida well during his run at SC, which is now a long time ago. Oregon isn't really pulling significant numbers yet, though with Mario running the show that could change. Georgia has always been there, but has had more success of late because of Smart. Historically, Miami wins more battles over Georgia than the other way around. Before them it was LSU pulling great players out of historically strong Miami recruiting areas, which extends beyond Dade County btw.
5 national titles, a nose hair clipping away from 7, under 4 different coaches. Think about that. Washington hasn't sniffed one since DJ and have gone through 6, SIX, coaches since then. You've never had one. Not. One. Single. Title. Ever. Bitch.
First round draft picks coming out the ass. Pro Bowlers, Hofamers, slew of wins over #1 ranked teams, winners of Rose, Cotton, Orange and Sugar Bowls (before those became warm up games), slayer of Big 8 powers Nebraska and Oklahoma, trend setting program that gets copied by everybody and never copies anybody. A team that has played a major role in some of cfb's most iconic and legendary games. 56 home winning streak. 21 game road winning streak. A coach who built the legendary Dallas Cowboy dynasty of the 90s who to this day admits crying when driving away from Coral Gables. A program that absolutely and without question permanently redefined defensive football with speed.
Ted Hendricks, Jim Otto, Jerome Brown, Cortez Kennedy, Kevin Fagan, Jessie Armstead, Jim Kelly, Michael Irvin, Bennie Blades, Brian Blades, Jim Burt, Warren Sapp, Ray Lewis, Jonathan Vilma, Dan Morgan, Bernie Kosar, Winston Moss, Kenard Lang, Jon Beason, Mike Barrow, Ed Reed, Reggie Wayne, Andre Johnson, Frank Gore, Edgerin James, Devin Hester, Clinton Portis, Chuck Foreman, Ottis Anderson, Rubin Carter, Calais Campbell, Lamar Miller, Bubba Franks, Chris Meyers, Eddie Edwards, Greg Olson, Jeremy Shockey, Leon Searcy, Dennis Harrah, Eric Winston, Vince Wilfork, Russell Maryland, Kenny Holmes, Duane Starks, Darryl Williams, Danny Stubbs, Freddy Marion, Ronnie Lippett, SEAN FUCKING TAYLOR, Antrelle Rolle, Eddie Brown, Travis Benjamin, Santana Moss, and a bunch of other dudes I'm tired of mother fucking typing. Vinnie T. left off purposefully even though he was a specimen at QB before that was a thing. Fuck we? even had a punter who lasted 50 fucking years in the NFL.
