re: I'm afraid that some of the Les haters are too young to remember bad times

This tells me how much you really know about current college football. You really have no damn clue. That job isn't even considered a top 25 job because of there horrible facilities, non existent fan base, a stadium that is 45 miles off of campus and an athletic department that doesn't want to pony up the money for a big hire. Please do more research and come back later.
I understand that you might be too young to remember when Miami was winning National Championships and always a powerhouse.
I do understand that you probably think that history started when you were born though.

Yeah, they won 3 titles in the 80's, one in 90's and another in 2001. If you want to call that a powerhouse 30 years ago, that is fine. Pretty sure most of that success was due to money under the table also. "Pay for Play" scandal, Shapiro Scandal. You know the type of things that cause sanctions. Yet, during those years, they rarely sold out their stadium. Johnson won one title left for Dallas then hired Erickson who won two national titles and left for NFL. Both were never really fired, both left for NFL jobs.

I'm not. And I remember how they did it, too. It had nothing to do with facilities, academics, etc. They won because they had Jimmy Johnson and attracted top talent with hookers, blow and cash.
True, they helped change the landscape of college football. They served as a blueprint of how NOT to go about building a program. And look where they are now.
