Interviews-wqam

"I think the next guy at Miami has to be somebody from the Miami past," football analyst and former coach Rick Neuheisel said of the Hurricanes' coaching job on the Big O Show. "If you're coming from outside in, you're going to wonder why Pro Player Stadium is your home. Why are you going 40 miles away? You're going to wonder a lot of things about the program that are going to cause you to hesitate. I think if you're from there and you know what success is attainable there, you're going to move with quicker action with dispatch and you're going to get things fixed in a more expedient fashion."

Who would Rick pick?

"Well, there's no question there's going to be lots of great names. If I were choosing and I just had to tap somebody on the shoulder, I'd go with Butch [Davis].

"They had 7 guys drafted off that team a year ago. You can get this thing rolling quickly, and college football is the better for it. College Football needs The U to be a swashbuckling, charismatic team that plays great college football."
