With the AD gone, the ACC not exactly murderer's row, Golden good and Kaaya possibly great I'd think, "sure, why not?".
But until orange seats aren't so visible and the FSU war chant so audible, it seems pretty uphill.

That was just depressing to watch last year. With a real home-field advantage, Miami might've pulled that win off.

Recruiting at Miami is a TALL order.

They don't draw for shite. The school is small. The facilities are definitely second tier.
The only thing Miami has is location but, frankly, that has never been the draw you'd think it is because if location was a huge fricking deal, Bama and Auburn wouldn't be able to recruit jack shite.

it's not that Miami isn't recruiting the same kids they've been, it's that everyone else is too... the game and recruiting has changed in the decade since they've been good

Location is the single most important factor in recruiting. If your school resides in a fertile recruiting ground, you have a major advantage over teams that don't.
Miami simply isn't prioritizing its football team. They aren't trying.

Of coarse they CAN be good. They have a big tradition of titles and are in the most fertile recruiting area there is basically. They need to re emphasise football basically. Which right now doesnt seem a priority.

Unfortunately for Miami, there are two other schools with FAR better facilities and FAR FAR FAR better fan support competing in their recruiting location. And that's not counting the schools that come into their back yard from out of state and say "hey, you guys will have less fans in the stands all season than we'll have in out two biggest games.
Oh, and their facilities blow too(in comparison to at least 10 of the SEC schools not to mention FSU and the like.
Again, why Miami was ever good is the real question because, well, they shouldn't have been.

Miami is a very small private school. They are about the size of Duke and have about the same financial support from Alumni as Duke or Vanderbilt as well. They really were an exception being as good at football as they were. It is going to be much harder for them to sustain excellence than it will be for the big school like LSU, Texas, Ohio St, etc... I think Miami will have some god years (I think they won 9 games last year and were ranked as high as 7th) but they are closer to what they are now than what they were then. They have ranked very high in Athlete academic lately (3rd behind Notre Dame and Northwestern for D1 last year), and the academic standards at the U are getting to be very tough, so some of the kids that used to be able to get in won't be able to....even at the lowered football standards.
