Are you kidding? Miami will be a carbon copy of Athens. And because of the strength or lack thereof in the ACC, he'll do a fine job. The only thing that is going to change is the colors of the jerseys and the stadium location. CMR hedged his bets by publicly providing himself an indemnification clause in his opening remarks at the intro presser:
I don’t want to make a lot of promises other than I’m going to promise we’re going to get to work and we’re going to try to earn the right for victory
Well there you have it. Now he can establish Athens in Miami and protect his job indefinitely because he didn't make any promises beyond getting after it and finishing the drill.
And excuse me, but what in the hell does "earning the right for victory" mean? That's a complete bastardization of the concept of winning. You don't earn the right for a victory. Victories aren't rights; they are an act. You don't earn any right. Earning a right is a first principle contradiction. You earn a privilege, but you have rights. This may seem like I'm trying to pick gnat crap out of pepper here, but don't minimize the importance of this statement, and how fundamentally incorrect it is. This is a firsthand look into why we saw what we saw for fifteen years.

It is one thing to think or say you can do certain things. It is another when you are faced with the history of your thoughts. Quite often the two never meet the point of satisfaction.
Good read SouthernDawg.

I don't follow the Miami program that closely, since they're no good any more, but if their history is any indication, just because richt promises mediocrity and a good try doesn't mean the U is going to accept it.
But who knows....maybe their fan base will get sucked into the whole "good man" routine.
