Fingers crossed its Mullen so we can get Richt.
Schiano is the obvious pick for Miami. Zero buyout. Salary demands would be minimal. Plus no NCAA baggage.
Schiano has really impressed the committee. I think Davis did well in the interview but that baggage right after all of their mess...I don't see it. I think it's between Mullen and Schiano. But who knows.
If Mullen is gone do,you think,Davis would work out here at MSU?
Richt is going to interview at Virginia tomorrow it looks like. Could be a good spot for him if So Car and SEC East is something he wants a change from. Watch out for Maryland again for the loser of the Miami job possibly.
Richt would be a grand slam with every momma in Mississippi. He'd have ties to MS, AL, LA, TX through State and bring his contacts in GA and FL. He'd have a very strong geographic footprint to recruit from.
If Miami has actually made their hire, and it is not out yet who it is, then i would put my money on it being Mullen. They keep it quiet so he can go back and officially address the team before it "goes public". Regardless, this has been an absolute mess of a turd storm for our program whether Mullen leaves or stays. There is some serious damage and baggage if he does the latter - especially with the alums and fans.
Mullen is a better football coach than either of those guys right now. I really think he could do good things anywhere he goes because of the system he runs. Schiano, Davis... these guys will be Al Golden 2.0 and fired in 3 years.
Richt is a guy that would be an upgrade at a place that needs help recruiting just based on his name (like MSU/Virginia/South Carolina).
Their 247 site seems to think it's Richt.
They ranked them in order of most to least likely:
1. Richt
2. Schiano
3. Jones
4. Mullen
Mullen's big obstacle is the buyout clause. It's not huge, but when you're as broke as Miami, and the other three coaches are unemployed, that's a big deal. Salary requirement is also a negative.
