Canales interested in FIU job

[James329]

"Also interested in the job is North Texas offensive coordinator Mike Canales. Canales, 51, did two turns as offensive coordinator and quarterbacks coach at South Florida, another school hunting for a new head coach."

Good info James. I wish Chico the best.

[Mean Green 93-98]

I'd love to see him get the job. But I imagine FIU would have to hire a bigger name to justify their firing of Cristobal.

[Travis]

wait, i have been in the dark... Cristobal was fired?! Why?

[cdizzle86]

Not sure how I feel about this. I think he has the ability to really maximize Brock's potential and I'm scared at who we would even bring in to replace.

[KRAM1]

All the best to Coach Chico. I am of the opinion that he is more than prepared to be a D1 head coach, but, for selfish reasons, I hope he stays at UNT. Really like the guy, and do wish him all the very best. IMHO FIU would be VERY lucky to get Coach Chico for their new HC.

Please stay Chico! You're only a year (two at most) from having a shot at THIS job.

But if you do go I look forward to seeing you run the ball up the middle on first and second down consistently...that was you calling the plays, right?

The last sentence of the article......

"Garcia said he wanted to name a coach by the first week of January".

Talk about putting your new coach, and his staff, way behind in recruiting.

Look, this is they guy who fired Mario Cristobal out of the blue from his dinky, little program. You think this is a guy who, you know, "sees the big picture" in all of it?

(I think this is the guy who hired Isaiah Thomas as well, so...whatever that's worth in the discussion.)

He really thought he was going to get Butch Davis to come to FIU. It reminds me of when Arkansas fired Stan Heath thinking they were going to get Billy Gillespie from A&M.

So lets get this straight. FIU fired the coach who built them up and put them on the map, which helped them move upward in the conference race game so that they can hire a guy who has never been a full time head coach and whose offensive numbers have been less than awesome in the last two years. Yeah, I can certainly see that happening...

Chico leaves the first chance he gets because he knows that he is killing his career by having to run our Vince Lombari offense

Does this Garcia fellow collaborate with RV in hiring practices? Don't jump on me, emmitt01 made me ask!

What I learned on GMG today:

Vince Lombardi = Fail.

Bobby Petrino = Awesome.

Well, I would research what Iowa St. asst. coach was responsible for the quarterbacks under Mac, and if he is not here already, then you have your answer. (but I do agree with you)

Someone please +1 CIA for this. I inadvertently dinged him while trying to plus him.

Done.

it was time for a change. Heath could recruit, but he wasn't much for coaching in the SEC.

As I've said before chico has had this reputation at his past two stops as well. This isn't just Mac, in fact I believe it's mostly canales.

Just gonna put this here... I've been looking for discussions that might include what his playcalling looks like.

Yeah, but how many of those posters are coaches? (Or cops.)
