WOW!!!!!!! I ironically, some guy had called 790 the ticket in Miami and reported this right after the game...and EVERYONE in the station alughed him off the air!!!
Hmmm, something tells me that the Gruden thing was done/worked on weeks ago and if he decided to accept, Shannon would be gone.
I too had heard Leach earlier, but it may have been just to see if they were a fit.
IF Gruden does go, it's a great move for them.
He's already turned down ND and it was hoped for him to go to Ohio State awhile back, but Tressel filled that seat.
Canes better do some upgrading on their athletic facilities or it does not matter who they hire. I imagine that will be a stipulation of any coach taking this job. Hire me and upgrade me!!
IF he took the job, it because he has full support of the faculty and has a very under achieving football team that HE KNOWS they can win. It's a small private school ....Florida State and and Florida have more alumni IN Miami than The U have in the entire STATE. They do not get as much alumni money as the state schools like FSU, UF or even FIU.
Gruden isn't going anywhere
To be honest no matter who takes the job Miami's program will be down for the next 3-4 years, it will take that long to build some sort of recruiting control on the state from FSU or Florida, hell even South Florida now has a leg up over the U.
Jon Gruden says he's 'committed' to TV analyst job - ESPN

The same problem Alabama had since the Bear. Saban changed the "were Alabama and we can win no matter who we get or if we don't upgrade our facilities." it is no secret since he was hired Bama's athletic facility is one of the best in the country. He demanded it before he signed his contract. It is a MUST these days to win with consistancy.
ALABAMA is a STATE school with a HUGE....HUGE...alumni base. Do you not see the difference? 9,000+ students to 30,000+ currently. A STATE school can make those demands because the state school get, other than alumni money....state money.
1st of all, you are telling me with the talent that is there...suddenly, the U will be under .500? PLEASE explain THAT one. Also, please come up with FACTS where "South Florida now has a leg over the U"? A leg up in what? You pulling things out of your a$$ with those two statements.

Using state money to upgrade an athletic facility??? Did not happen here in Alabama (Bama or Auburn). Donations and fundraisers were used. I'm just telling you what a school needs to do to compete day in and day out. Up to you to believe it or not.

Good for Miami...now, if only Michigan can follow their lead and bring Harbaugh aboard.
One can only Hope!!!
I'm doing my part to spread rumor about RR's upcoming departure...
Of course, I recommend that everyone visit one of my favorite sites over the past 2 1/2 years. Fire Rich Rodriguez - FireRRod.com
Look at the history of a program when they change coaches and you know coaches change their style... It could have a downward effect on the team prior to it coming sharply back up. I didn't say under .500, not sure where your reading that but it sounds as if your sticking words in my mouth to feed your anger for Miami coming up short this year, no that's not what I'm saying. As for South Florida having a leg up over the U... YES THEY DO, they won in your rival game this year = leg up. Rival games are very important when it comes to recruiting and now you have no head coach for recruits to feed from when you sure do with Holtz at the helm in South Florida. So.... once again I didn't pull anything out of my a$$ but you sure made yourself look like one when you became very critical of me with those statements.
i would also like to know why. imo its a great thing. i can only see positives with this.
