FSU Rivals: Miami fans react to Coach Kool leaving for Alabama
By Kelvin Hunt
The Miami Hurricanes just took a massive L although some will try to deny it.
Mark Richt and the Miami Hurricanes suffered a huge blow to their staff Monday with the announcement defensive line coach Craig Kuligowski (Coach Kool) will be leaving the program.
It’s being reported he’s been hired by Nick Saban to coach the defensive line at Alabama.
There seemed to be a love/hate relationship with Coach Kool among Miami fans. On one hand they considered him a great coach.
On the other hand, they thought he cost them a ton of defensive players because he wasn’t a strong recruiter.

Check out the reaction of Miami fans online when the news started to spread like wild-fire.
Twitter Reaction
With the departure of Coach Kool, I think we need to go after Warren Sapp. He's been working with Chad, RJ, and Norton preparing them for the next level. He said he's always around if they need em... I think he should be the 1st option. Hate to see Kool go, but wish him the best!

Mark Richt has said Kuligowski was his No. 1 target when building his Miami staff -- even before his DC.

Coach Kool a class act we are lucky to have him be it a short time ..I highly doubt he left Richt without discussing a replacement but that's just a guess...

I guess those Canes fans that said they wanted Coach Kool out because he “couldn’t cut it recruiting” get their wish.

Thoughts
Man, those guys on Twitter are HURT bro! Reading those Twitter reactions are hilarious for a couple of reasons. Some are just flat-out funny, and others are the potential candidates they are throwing out to replace Coach Kool.
Listen, Coach Kool is a good defensive line coach, but he’s not the best in the nation. A coach has to be able to get the horses to get the results and my granddaddy always told me you can’t win the Kentucky Derby with a donkey.
The fact of the matter is Miami desperately needed defensive line recruits in the 2018 class and still got beat by FSU for Dennis Briggs Jr. and Jamarcus Chatman.
All that smack Miami fans talked about when the former coach left FSU for the money and look you now.

Miami’s going to hire a new coach that’s going to inherit a bare cupboard that’s going to be facing an offense that’s going to run for over 200 yards on the ground against them in 2018(FSU did it in 2017 too).
Good luck with that fellas!
