The Rundown Take

Where's Dan Enos? U Talk Demands Answers From a Vanishing Offensive Coordinator

Devin opened this live show with a manhunt: offensive coordinator Dan Enos has reportedly gone quiet, blocking reporters on Twitter and skipping interviews after a spring where he never left the podium. With the Independence Bowl looming against Louisiana Tech, Devin and a full slate of callers — Jamal Davis, Eddie Lauro and cousin Danielle Carroll among them — spent the night grading the coaching staff, the offensive line class, and floating replacement names for Enos.

Key Takeaways

  • Devin's lead story: Dan Enos is allegedly blocking reporters on Twitter and dodging interviews, a reversal from his talkative spring press availability.
  • Replacement names floated for offensive coordinator: Kendal Briles (Florida State), David Yost (Texas Tech), Graham Harrell (USC) and former Miami QB Ken Dorsey, then Buffalo's offensive coordinator.
  • Miami's incoming class climbed to 14th nationally (up from 27th last year) but sits at just two offensive line commits — four-star tackle Jaylen Rivers and a three-star guard.
  • Defensive end Jonathan Garvin and receiver Jeff Thomas are declaring early for the NFL Draft; several seniors, including Trajan Bandy, are opting out of the Independence Bowl.
  • Shaq Quarterman earns first-team All-ACC honors; congratulations go out to the graduating senior class.

The Danny Enos Manhunt

Devin couldn't square the silence with the coordinator he remembered from spring, when Enos was "the first man up" after every game to break down the quarterbacks. Now, with the offense finishing no better than it did under Mark Richt, Devin says the accountability has to cut both ways. Caller Eddie Lauro didn't hold back: "You need to put a piece of paper in your hand, ball it up, and put that mess in the trash can" — his verdict on Enos's tenure. Both agreed the staff owes fans an explanation for an offense that never became the "high-octane" attack it was promised to be.

"When you put paper in your hand and you ball it up, the only thing you can do with it is throw it in the trash — and that's where you see him, my brother, in the trash."

Who Replaces Him?

Devin ran through his wish list on air: he'd pass on Kendal Briles given Florida State's own offensive struggles, and leans toward David Yost's spread scheme out of Texas Tech to fit Miami's team speed. Caller Danielle Carroll pushed hardest for Ken Dorsey, the former Miami quarterback then working as Buffalo's offensive coordinator, arguing a former player who knows the program's standard is worth a look. Devin agreed he'd at least take a serious look at Dorsey over bringing Enos back for a second year.

Recruiting the Trenches — Again

The recurring frustration returned: Miami has ten four-star commits in its 2020 class but only two along the offensive line — Rivers and a three-star guard — and just lost another offensive line commit to a mutual decommitment this week. Devin insists Miami has to stop chasing star ratings and start targeting offensive and defensive linemen specifically, calling it the only path back to "real Miami football." With the early signing period opening December 18, he wants to see the staff add bodies up front before anything else.
