What is up with Crystal Balls staff in Miami?

Bryan McClendon his WR, CO-OC, who was with him in whoregon, is bailing today to go to Georgia. As of today he only has 3 coaches on his staff and he’s been turned down by quite a few. Is crystal a prick or is Miami cheap?
The only recruit I can think of that this would effect would be Dave Luli who hasn’t shown Boner and the boys much respect anyway.

I mean he’s a demanding guy. He’s a new head workaholic and I think that sleep in the office mindset probably makes up for deficiencies elsewhere.
I’d say his strengths are that he’s Uber organized and commands a certain culture and work ethic and that gets you big returns in recruiting, but he’s also a micro-manager who should probably keep his nose out of offensive play-calling but he just can’t help himself.
He has taken the 69th ranked recruiting class to possibly breaking into the T20 and he hasn't even unpacked yet. He will do better at Miami than he did at Oregon. I'm confident of that. Whether it's 30 years ago or not is another matter. But he will have the horses in the stable for 30 years ago.
For those of you hoping to see him flop, my best guess is that you'll be sorely disappointed

Learn the difference or LEAVE!!!!
The rest of your post reads like a “leveling up” doog post. Cristobal is a very good recruiter and will do well bringing in talent. At least on paper talent.
In order to be great tho, other teams have to drop off. Did Clemson have a down year or is it more? How is Miami going to compete with Alabama, Georgia, LSU, etc?
It’s not as easy as get talent and win.
Brian Kelley and Brian Kelley just took a job recently vacated by a guy who's a stop watch away from having won a natty. That's a winner move.
Two of those guys were coaching a bowl game as interims. They don't count.
So you are reading what I wrote to them, and he cleverly brought it over here. He's clever like that.
Anyway, my Canes need some O linemen and they need them now and I'm confident that, if nothing else, he'll do that.
Miami can recruit with those programs if they start winning. The fact that they ever beat any of them for anybody, and they have, despite being horrible, is a testament to that. The combination of school and recruiter with Crisco right now is about as good as it gets. So I'm confident he will bring in the raw material. Hopefully good QB play will be a constant and hopefully he pulls together the right staff.
I have no idea if he's being picky or careful or if it has become a tough sell. We shall see. I'd rather he take his time than just bring in a warm body. Losing McLendon wasn't great, but oh well.
Golden, this is the guy, the up and coming coaching star. Imagine what he's going to do with FL talent. Nope.
Richt, this guy is a WINNER. He's going to bring the talent level back and own FL. Nope.
Diaz, gotta have this guy. He understands Miami and what it takes to win there. Nope.
Mario, the guy is an elite recruiter and he's a Cain to the core. He gets it. SEC tuff to the U.
Bet on MOTS. It's Miami post 2000 until it isn't.
A couple things to say about that: (1) nobody ever said Shannon was a tough guy; and (2) Golden was the guy any reasonable person would have expected to work out. That is as good a formula as you get: produced unprecedented results at an historically putrid program as the HC. That probably has a better hit rate than former successful P5 HC. See Chip Kelley for recent evidence of the latter.
This is ostensibly a huge fucking guessing game. Might as well hire somebody who you know will at least bring in some Jimmys and Joes and hope for the best with the Xs and Os.
