Because his ability to recruit at Miami was proven, and even better was his record as a DC. If Dooley had hired him last year...it would have saved his job.
His ability to recruit players to Miami? I could recruit S. FL kids to Miami and I have never set foot in that area, just saying.
Also, I won't mention the Dooley hiring him comment because, well, he didn't and Dooley is no longer the coach at UT. :hi:
