let's see how this turns out. He's going to be a very good recruiter.

If Williams is so great then why is he still available? He’s been without a job since mid-December. Surely the “best available LB coach in the nation” would have his phone ringing off the hook by teams needing a lb coach.

If this is the case that he's the guy it's funny that Miami fans are shite talking it like he's going to be the DC hire.

I'm not talking about the unc game. Miami lbs against average offenses in the Acc were bad

sounds like Miami got hit with what LSU did, lack of spring, youth on Defense.

Sounds like Baker as just a LB is a stud vs him trying to be DC

Miami didn't have a young defense. They had jr and sr and filled there defense with transfers the last 2 years some were former 5 stars also

I think it's an good hire, but we have to let him coach LB's and that's it, do not let him have any say so in the defensive game plan, I think that's what got to his head, he wasn't ready to be a D-Cord. but he is a good LB coach, would I rather someone else? sure, but at some point, we have to let the HC and AD make the hires and just see how it works out, if this team don't perform this season with all we have coming back, then we can def. complain and bitch about the hires this offseason, guess we'll see

Surely he has to be an improvement over Pelini coaching LBers. Last season our LBer play was arguably the worst since the Lou Tepper days.

Meh, doesn’t make much sense when a guy like Travis Williams who has proven to not only be a better position coach but also a significantly better recruiter 


Yet hes currently out of work and still available?

And if they don’t, will you do the same?

Something tells me no.

Cue the Derek Rah-Squad to come out of the woodwork with "homerun hire", "Great Coach", "Orgeron makes another love puppet" threads.

U also had key opt outs

I like this hire
LA ties
Knows pressure defense which is what O wants in some capacity
Will be interesting to see how dynamics fit with an Aranda style D coord in Jones with an attack type mentality with Baker

They had a top 15 defense in 2019 and Diaz is overrated as a DC - I bet his defenses won't be any better than Baker's
