Would be stunned if they didnt throw the house at Cristobal. Outside of that look for Butch Davis, Manny Diaz or Greg Schiano to be next on the list.

Miami still remains Thug U. Maybe he got tired of that Mr T gold chain defense award.

I have always thought that Richt was overrated and that his teams at Georgia routinely underperformed, based on the kinds of recruits he was able to get. I thought it was a head-scratcher when Miami hired him three years ago. Why hire a perennial second or third place in your conference finisher at a really great place like Georgia to bring a school like Miami back to dominance? When did Richt ever field a dominant team?

Right now Miami is trying to find that "it" coach, the "next Saban", to right the ship. Their past several coaches have just brought them mediocrity. And their gut told them Richt had brought them as far as he was going to. And I agree with that. So who do they get? Who is our there who can right this ship? Who knows?

Forced out after 3 seasons? Ridiculous, guy is far better than their past 4 or 5 coaches.

This actually doesn’t sound like he was forced out as much as he just actually stepped down.

Cristobal has a 10 million dollar buy out at Oregon, he is fantastic as a recruiter but doesn’t appear to be any better of a coach than Richt was IMO.

One of the out there rumors was Rex Ryan which would be hilarious

Richt is a really good guy and a decent head coach. Problem for Richt & others like him is that college football has changed and if you haven't changed with it you are left out in the cold. Mark was either unwilling to change or lost the fire to change. I wish him the best, he is a really good guy.

I know Dabo is from Bama but why move when or if Saban ever leaves. He created something at Clemson and he owns that University. If he moves over to Bama, no matter how well he does he will be viewed as someone who just had success because of Saban. I think Dabo is 2nd best HC in college football.
