Why Miami has to get the Coaching Hire right

After a decade of mediocrity, there's no margin for error for Miami as they look to hire a new Head Coach for the football program.

In the past 20 years, Miami has gotten exactly 1 of it's 4 head coaching hires right (that was hiring Butch Davis in 1995 for those wondering). The last 3 hires, Larry Coker, Randy Shannon, and Al Golden, have all fallen short of the mark for performance.

Outside of Coker's first 1 years which featured the best college football team ever, the 2001 Miami Hurricanes, and the next year's team was outright ROBBED of their rightly earned National Championship by Terry Porter's phantom pass interference flag, the 3 post-Davis coaches have led Miami to an 81-57 record.
