Chris Whittingham

I am still that big skeptical of what he can do in big games or even honestly not in big games.

Can you go through an ACC schedule unscathed?

That might not necessarily be what you need to do now because of how forgiving the playoff format is, but I'm still skeptical that he can consistently deliver results game after game after game.

And I just don't think, this is a personal thing, but I would rather all of that effort be backed into someone I believe to be a good coach

rather than an elite recruiter who, for me, is an average to good coach.

And so that's my own personal preference.

But I think for the University of Miami, for the fans, this is about as well as it could have gone, especially relative to what it's been for 20 years.

Dan, I'm sure you have the context to remember, even from a physical standpoint of what it used to look like in the early 2000s, in the 90s and in the 80s as well.

you have the context of this is what it's supposed to look like when a team is great.

And I think even, for example, I have some friends that are like USF fans that are going, God, this team's frustrating to play against.

They're so big.

They're so strong.

And I think the University of Miami has not been that for 22, 23 years.

And so the idea that now they are there, that's an incredible thing to aspire to.

It's just me personally, I would have preferred it on a different kind of coach, but I'm more than happy to acknowledge that he is doing a very good job.

He just gets the best players.

Gets the best players.

I know you pose this to the group, so I'll let them chime in.

But gets the best players is quick to fix issues, which I think, as Witte highlighted, people were complaining about the offense.

He brings in Shannon Dawson, best offense in the history of the program.
