Some SEC names associated with the Miami job

Cristobal, 45, who attended Miami Columbus High, went 27-47 in six seasons as FIU’s coach, but that included 7-6 and 8-5 records in the fourth and fifth seasons. He was fired after finishing 3-9 in 2012.
Cristobal, a UM assistant from 2004-06 and considered a very good recruiter, joined Golden’s staff early in 2013 before leaving after only six weeks to join Nick Saban at Alabama, where he now serves as offensive line coach.

### Mike Shula. Son of legendary Dolphins coach Don Shula, Mike has received plaudits for his work as the Carolina Panthers’ offensive coordinator since 2013. He went 4-9, 6-6, 10-2 and 6-6 in four years at Alabama before being fired after the 2006 season but left considerable talent behind for Saban, who replaced him. If Shula took the job, he could bring with him Panthers quarterbacks coach and former UM great Ken Dorsey.

UM could explore pie-in-the-sky candidates such as Mississippi State’s Dan Mullen (Miami spoke to him and had some interest before it hired Golden) and TCU’s Gary Patterson, but those types of names would be long shots.

Other names that could surface include Doc Holliday (30-6 over his past three years at Marshall and has signed well over 100 players from South Florida in his coaching career); Colts coach and former UM assistant Chuck Pagano (could be fired but the timing might not be right, since UM could have a coach in place before then) and former UM defensive backs coach Mark Stoops (had success as FSU’s defensive coordinator but 2-10, 5-7, 4-3 in his first three seasons coaching Kentucky).
Other interesting candidates could become available if they lose their jobs, such as Georgia's Mark Richt.
