Hat? Schiano or Davis?

If you had to choose, who would you take as the new coach at the U? We know that Davis can turn the program again, as he has done it in the past, but does he wanna do it again? Schiano is a great coach and recruiter, but can he deal with all of the off-field(and I suppose on the field) distractions that Coker couldn't contain?

I'd go with Schiano. Nobody has better recruiting contacts in South Florida. I think enough people were angry that Butch left after promising to stay that it would make for an awkward return.
Sciano knows the culture of the program at the "U." He wouldn't have any problem maintaining order.

The rumor I've been hearing is Nick Saban to the U. He is already in Miami and it seems he is in over his head in the NFL. Any truth to this?

That's getting bounced around, I seriously doubt there's any truth to it. For one, Saban certainly didn't seem over his head when his team won their last five games in '05. I think he'll get it turned around when he has a healthy, competent QB.
