    Not surprising at all they've been average the past couple years and made no improvements soon as they lost to South Florida today I knew that was it

    Just saw it on ESPN just now. It's crazy cause they improved every year until under-achieving this season. Now next season some new coach is gonna step in and beast off of a experienced and healthy squad along with the high-rated recruiting class that Shannon had already lined up.....I wasn't even mad at this season. I figured they would have a down year this year and then tear ? up next year if the Junior class came back....

    I liked Randy as a college coach he put emphasis on STUDENT-athlete 98% graduation rate 2 arrests in 4 yrs but my goodness you know its bad when teams like University of Virgina and Duke play you and actually think they have a chance at winning

    Shannon is a good asset to have for your school but not in regards to coaching. He cleaned up the image and recruited his ass off but coaching is not his thing

    Coker couldnt recruit, as a matter of fact, he just benefited off past recruiting classed like the Canes next coach is about to do

    smh.when Miami athletes were wildin and they were winning ships it was all good. Coker went 59-15 but was fired because he didn't win a title and thus they cited the "direction of the program/off the field issues.

    Shannon comes in and turns the program around off the field and in the classroom, but since he didn't win ACC titles or compete for the national title they got rid of him too.

    It seems like the powers that be at the U have unrealistic expectations. It's not the 80's or 90's anymore....other programs have street ? too now lol

    Now THAT would be smart. But Leach got a dark cloud over his head with that ? that went down at Texas Tech. For example, let's say some high school top-rated recruit is choosing between Miami and say -- Florida. You already know what the Florida people are going to say to the kid...

    "Go 'head and go to Miami if you wanna get locked in a room at practice if you fucc up."

    Either way, if I'm a AD, I got Leach at the top of my list.

    I don't wanna get all "It's over:2012" up in here, but that is what they call the "Dungy rule". You bring in a sharp unknown Black coach to clean up and do the ? work and then ship him off as soon as you find something (ANYthing) to fire him for -- and then get a white coach to ride the wave. ala Buccaneers back in the day with Dungy/Gruden.

    Agreed 100%. That is exactly what is going to make them think twice about it. But they are def. looking at him.

    Nah, Saban is staying in 'Bama. Plus Miami sports fans still have a chip on their shoulder from his Dolphin days (or should I say "Day"). Only thing that would pull Saban out of 'Bama would be the Michigan job or another NFL gig.

    If anything, expect him to get a call from Jerry Jones this offseason. McElroy's (Bama QB) dad is the exec. vice president of the Cowboys, and if you notice -- the way 'Bama plays and their roster is built a lot like the 90s Cowboys. IJS

    Saban ain't going nowhere. I just can't see it happening. He has arguably the most coveted job in College Football right now. Just don't see him leaving yet.

    Looks like Tommy Bowden could be headed to Vandy after R. Caldwell popped smoke. I could actually see Shannon at Vandy though. That would be a good fit for him. He could really do a lot with recruiting there. Anyone agree?
