Sonoran Hot Reads: Miami enters the Rich Rodriguez rumor mill

Another school to worry about!

People got mad when we were talking about Rich Rodriguez going to South Carolina last week. So let's talk about him going to Miami this week! The Hurricanes officially fired Al Golden on Sunday, which kicks off their latest coaching search. This ACC Insider post has RichRod as the 7th option for Miami, behind names like Mario Cristobal, Butch Davis, Ed Orgeron, and even Lane Kiffin. This is an interesting note at the end though, as Travis Haney says "Plus, there's a sense that he would like to coach at a place where football matters a great deal. Looking at those empty teal seats at Sun Life Stadium, The U might not be the best place for that." Seemed like a lot of empty seats in Tucson for a 5-2 football team on Saturday too.
