I'd say no Studsill for us

I'm not sure how one would come to this conclusion. "Hey Devin, my name is coach Richt, you weren't good enough to get recruited when I was at UGA but now that I'm at Miami, we want to coach you."

There is no past relationship so why would this be better for Miami?

Like greyhammer said, his hire is going to generate hype. SEC coach returning to his alma mater.

Hell, even past players are already praising the hire.

I think Devin was waiting this whole time to see who was going to be hired at Miami. Now he knows, and it is my opinion that it doesn't end well for us.

It's not like it is some awful hire where it would be impossible to draw this conclusion.

As far as not being offered by Georgia - 247 doesn't show him as having ANY sec offers. As well as Georgia was heavily recruiting Shyheim Carter, Demetrius Robertson, and Nigel Warrior. All higher rated and projected as DBs (Robertson both ways but upside is on D, IMO).

You may disagree, but to say you can't understand my conclusion seems far fetched. He has known what we offer and he still hasn't jumped on board, even when our program is in much better shape.

I want him Irish no doubt, just doesn't feel like its going to happen, to ME.

- Returning to his Alma Mater because he was fired.

- Did you really expect another reaction from past "The U" players. They would've done this for any coach.

- Again, there is no previous relationship. Devin is a smart kid and he realizes who is recruiting him and why.

Yes, I think it is far fetched to assume that Devin is gone because Miami hired Richt. I imagine you'd probably be saying this if they hired just about any of the top candidates. DJ Durkin and Kirby Smart. They are great DC's who wouldn't want to play for them, etc.

Also, let me add that there is fairly strong ND push around Palm Beach Gardens, one of the reasons we got Coney.

I didn't see past players all pumped up about the last hire. So no they don't do this for any coach.

If new coaches ONLY landed kids they had previous relationships after job turnover then at least 10-15 schools recruiting classes would completely fall apart/change every season. Some kids want to go to a school no matter who the coach is. (Not saying thts the case here) But That's like saying all of Maryland's D recruits are going to flip because Durkin didn't offer them at Michigan - unlikely.

If Kirby went to Miami, I would think that's a big hire, Durkin, no I wouldn't feel the same. But keep assuming you know me I suppose.

I hope the push in his area is strong, however, what's the hold up then? We've been on him since day one, have better academics and football program, and offer chance for early PT (damn do we need quality S play).

So my question to you is outside Richt (and the ENTIRE rest of sec) not offering him previously, why wouldn't Studstill like this hire at Miami?

Going to be interesting to see how much time Richt spends poaching Georgia commits compared to going after current Miami targets. I know Studstill had Miami on his list and it'll be interesting to see his response to the Miami hire.

A lot going down in the Virginia job as of late.

Footballscoop reporting that Sanford's name has been brought up, but they don't expect much out of it.

Mack Brown supposedly has sought an interview, but has not been granted one.

A lot of heat speculating that Muschamp to South Carolina is a real possibility. Spurrier seems to like the idea and Ron Tanner as well. Supposed to formally interview tomorrow.

If we lose BVG I don't know how I'll ever be able to sleep again.

Here is my take on the USC gig.

AD Tanner is holding out hope that he can have a sit down with Tom Herman after the game this weekend and convince him to take the job. His Houston contract still hasn't been signed and Tanner is taking that as him still having a chance.

If Tanner can't get TH then Will Muschamp will get the job and Columbia will burn down the AD office...

Could happen that way. You probably know more about the happenings than I do since you are there in S. C. Hope it works out for them in the end.

Just my best guess on listening to everything going on around here.

I think Muschamp would be a good hire for them but the Gamecock crazies here don't think that way.

No chance they let Muschamp walk through the stadium gates. Haha.

Who would be on the list to replace him at DC? I vote sending a blank check to whoever was behind the success Boston College had on defense this year.
