I get that Cristobal has former ties to Miami, but it seems like a bad decision to leave Oregon right now. He has them recruiting well and positioned to win big next year with Herbert coming back. Good momentum.
I cant imagine Miami is not his dream job. Opportunities like that only open up every so often. This year might be his only chance
No way they wait that long
agree...top 5 class
The Miami admin supports athletics like they are Ball State. The boosters want the glory days. The history and talent level could support it but they have limited on-campus facilities and play 30 min away from campus for home games. It would take a heck of a coach to make it all work.

Yeah, can't see it happening. And honestly, don't think it would hurt Oregon at all like people seem to hope. Cristobal is at least a mediocre coach for as good of a recruiter as he is. I'm more interested in getting Kliff out of USC.
Same thing that happened with Taggart. If you grew up in Florida and one of the big 3 jobs there becomes open and is offered to you ....
Flip side is you’re seemingly never more than 100 yards away from a 5 star recruit no matter where you go in the city.
Yeah I dont think Cristobal is all that great. But 3 coaches in 3 years is never a good thing
Yep. It's kind of like growing up in the I-35 corridor between Oklahoma City and Houston. If OU, UT or aTm open up those are the brass rings of your career path to fulfill the dream while delivering generational wealth for your family.
It would be a good thing for the financials of the program, but after that it would be extremely detrimental. Any top recruit would look at them and say "they've had three coaches leave in 3 years, there's either something wrong with Oregon or the stability just might not exist for me to want to go there." That's how the mind of the 18 Year old would think imo.

I get the sentimental ties but he’s making a total base salary of $12.5 million at Oregon. That’s generational wealth already with the opportunity to make more by winning big. Richt’s making $8.3 million at Miami. Cristobal should look at Taggart as an example of what not to do.
true--and 5 yards from him is his 'uncle' or street agent. No doubt the talent supports winning. Dade/Broward talent fuels FSU, UF, UCF, and USF as well. Howard Smellsofbourbon knew what he was doing wen he declared the "State of Miami" for recruiting borders.
maybe they can bring back Butch
I repeat DREAM JOB, DREAM JOB, DREAM JOB
First guy Feldman mentioned. But hiring Butch Davis is the quickest road to NCAA sanctions.

He wouldn't be the first guy to turn down his "dream job" when it clearly wasn't a good move for him. See: Brohm

I don’t disagree with you that that might be enough for him to take the job. My point is rather that he’s positioned for more success and money at Oregon.
Really depends on him and what he values in life. I wouldn't leave because I don't value one job over the other and my family would rather live in the western US than Florida. But if the U is his dream job and his family loves living in Florida, then it's probably too good of a chance to pass up since it may not ever come up again.
Put it this way, if I had a chance to be CEO of a strong company that was based on the Front Range in Colorado I would take that job over a company that was a little better positioned and located in a nice place that I didn't like as much. Even if the Colorado job didn't look quite as lucrative I wouldn't care because at a certain point it is Monopoly money and more money no longer buys more happiness/ a higher quality of life.
So much wrong here. There are still plenty of coaches who would love the Miami job.
Hahahaha

Fair enough. If he wants to settle down in Florida with his family, that makes sense.
Different scenario, but after Embree I'm just wary of those who alter a good career trajectory to go back to their alma mater. Kind of sad/messy when it doesn't work out and the fans turn on the coach.
Houston fired Major Asswhite.
