2001 Canes add another Ring
Congratulations to former Canes Jonathon Vilma and Jeremy Shockey on their Super Bowl win last night. Vilma played a great game and was a huge factor in stopping the Colts drive late in the game that ended in a missed field goal. He showed he could cover slot receivers deep down the field as well as stop the run during the pivotal drive. And who scored the go ahead touchdown for the Saints? None other than Jeremy Shockey. Man the haters are pissed about that.
Recruiting Coordinator Filled
Aubrey Hill has been named the new Recruiting Coordinator at the University of Miami. Hill grew up in Miami and played for Carol City before playing at UF (nobody is perfect). He is the Wide Receivers Coach at UM. Hill is a young coach, just 38 years old, and has done a terrific job in his two years so far at UM. The Wide Receivers have done a great job under Hill and they are probably the best group of the team. Hill has also been a great recruiter for Miami. He was the recruiter for Stephen Morris, Allen Hurns and Travis Williams this year and has brought in players in the past such as Ray Ray Armstrong. Hill is a young Coach who knows the area, has a great relationship with players and will now take over as the new Recruiting Coordinator for the Hurricanes.
Running Back Coach Position Filled
Mike Cassano will be named the new Miami Hurricane Running Back Coach soon. Cassano will replace Tommie Robinson who left the Canes to coach for the Arizona Cardinals. Cassano previously was a volunteer Coach and Offensive Assistant at Miami from 2004-2006. The past 3 years he was the Florida International Running Backs Coach and Recruiting Coordinator. In 1998 he was the Running Backs Coach at Massachusetts under then Head Coach Mark Whipple. UM has made no official announcement but players have indicated that this is a done deal. Expect this to be announced early on this week.
There is no rundown or summary of the schedule. Just circle September 11 on your calendars. Nothing else matters.
