Message: [QUOTE="OrlandoCuse, post: 2847234, member: 115"] Dennis Erickson and Butch Davis were the only two coaches that have been able to succeed at Miami, but they weren’t exactly doing it within the lines. It’s a fine line to win at Miami. You have to recruit high talent, marginal character players and basically turn a blind eye to their off field antics while they are “students.” UM football players are basically treated like pros around the city. Very easy for them to lose focus as to why they are there (playing football and going to school). Think HBO show “Ballers”. I actually think it’s easier for these high level kids to go to a large SEC state school in the middle of nowhere where they don’t succumb to the trappings of Miami. [/QUOTE]
