Bernie Kosar wants the University of Miami job?

Former 12-year NFL quarterback Bernie Kosar is interested in taking the reigns of the Miami Football Program. He was quoted on a Miami television station as saying that he would like the job.

UM people knew that I had been offered the president of the Cleveland Browns job," Kosar told the newspaper. "They knew I wanted to get back into football and asked if I'd be interested in the UM job. At first it was just flattering, but then I thought, 'Yeah, I'd really like to look into it.'"

Kosar played his college ball at Miami, but has no coaching experience at all. You have to wonder if Miami is actually considering this? Kosar, who is from Youngstown, Ohio won a national title for the 'Canes during his freshman season.

What was Michael Irvin not available, what about Lamar Thomas? Maybe Miami should throw Gino Toretta or Craig Erickson in the mix also. We just can't see Kosar trying to convince kids that come from nothing at all, to play football at Miami, when Florida State and Florida are after them as well. It's one thing to say you want to be coach and another to take the job and do it well. Yes, Kosar is a well known figure in Miami football but is he well known enough to build a program, land recruits and win games on the field?

Other possible candidates are Texas Tech's Gary Patterson and West Virginia's Rich Rodriguez.
