Let the rumors begin….

I often say that I am not a Richt fan because he is to nice a guy on the football field. But I actually love the guy. He is a class act and a great coach. With Coker on the way out at Miami and Bowden set to retire in the next couple of years, I figure both will go hard after him.

• He played backup QB at Miami behind Jim Kelley
• He was the offensive coordinator during the glory day at FSU

Well today the rumors hit print:

There’s no front-runner yet if Miami’s Larry Coker is fired. Butch Davis has some internal support, but it’s not universal — one top UM official wasn’t impressed with his work in big games at Miami. If Coker is fired after this season, Miami intends to conduct a national search, and Davis and Rutgers coach and ex-UM assistant Greg Schiano would be among those considered, several UM officials said. UM also would consider two others with UM ties — Auburn’s Tommy Tuberville and Georgia’s Mark Richt.
