That's the 3rd time you've brought politics into your posts on this thread. Please don't act like you don't have an agenda. Disgraceful that you're on here masquerading as a representative of this site.

There are alumni on this website and we're going to defend the President that did great things for our school. If "fans" don't like it, they can suck it.

1) Ive never brought politics into it. Ive only pointed out the factual mindset that the clinton mafia is known to have used in all things they do. donna shalala is a key figure within that organization. She went from working for the clinton's to UM to immediately back to working for the clintons. It is you who is trying to deny this.


2) As for your comment in bold, thank you for saying what all of us "market-based" fans knew about you campus-based fans all along. You HATE us, think you're above us and feel that UM should disassociate itself from the market-based fans. In short, donna and her crowd have a high level of disdain for the residents of the very city from which the university draws its name. Oh the irony.


What I doubt you remember is that it was we, the local market based fans who built UM football, waaaaay back when UM was known as "Sun Tan U." Then once UM had its brand name built, along comes donna to sever those ties. An make no mistake, she actively did that. Thankfully, there was still enough power within the board of trustees to put your mindset in check. Look at the season ticket sales increase in year one of the post-shalala era.

Again, keep doing your thing. That's the best way for the real fans of UM football to see who and what you guys truly are.


Have a great day.

I don't like Shalala but it's painfully obvious you have an agenda. Get real.

Telling the truth and stating facts is an agenda? That is Clinton/Shalala logic for you. A Clinton crony ruined UM football. Deal with it.

 

[Rellyrell]

These are the questions I asked, but without a direct answer yet.

1. Did Shalala exerted a fairly strong influence on the program?

2. Do you think that she was influential in taking the Golden firing off the table at the end of the 2014 season?

Simple questions.

So you know where I'm coming from, I am an alumnus, a long-time contributor to the school and athletic department, and very much appreciate what DS has done for the school academically and otherwise. I'm just wondering what you guys think her role was in the athletic department. I get the sense that you seem to think she was just an innocent bystander. All presidents of universities with major football programs have a certain amount of accountability with respect to the program. That's reality.

She had respect and they would take her opinion into consideration within reason. I would say other than advocating for Shannon (which she felt she needed to) she's never really had a dog in the fight as far as coaches go. Otherwise she's a hands-off delegator.

That's your opinion, because you don't actually know. That does not sound like it's based on any actual insider knowledge.

I disagree that she was a "delegator" in terms of setting the direction and vision for the program. She was on the record defending Golden on several occasions, and I think it's reasonable to assume she definitely exerted influence on the athletic department. It's a commonly held belief that Shalala was NOT on board with firing Golden after 2014.

okay, she's the president and short of firing a coach you defend them at all turns. Her endorsement means nothing about her influence over the program. You are making 'reasonable assumptions' but i'm not. I know what I know to be true. As a hurricane club member you can dig for more factual information from wherever you want to verify what I say.

and to be honest, based on the burden of fact on this site, anyone who's walked the campus could be considered an "insider".

Nebulous self-aggrandizing statements like "I know what I know to be true" do not make your case. Unless you're actually on the BOT, or are a confidant of Blake or the president, you don't know anymore than I.

Your main theme seems to be to absolve Shalala of ANY accountability in the sad state of the program the last ten plus years. Sorry, but that's not how leadership works. She's not a figurehead. She's a university president with power, influence, and a bully pulpit. To say it's all the BOT, et al, is a copout.

What do you think she had in her power to do that she didn't do? How much money did the athletics department gain under her with the ACC and Adidas deals? And I hate to say it, because I love the OB, but moving to the middle of nowhere to play our games also brought in more money to the athletics program.

Do you think we'd be hiring Mark Richt or building an IPF if we still played in the Big East/AAC and were still getting played by Nike?

 

[Bunker Mentality]

When Shalala left BJ became a boss, period

Nah, she doesn't operate that way. BJ had more $$ and things fell right with Richt. Your statement is woefully uninformed, inaccurate, and it shows you've never really spent time around the university.

Shalala wanted Barry Alvarez in 2001. So remember that every time you repeat that flaccid narrative.

I respectfully disagree w u Mahoney. Hurricanes pre Shalala, during Shalala, and post Shalala. I don't need to be "around" the University to know that. Furthermore, if u don't think our athletic dept took a hit to babysit all of Shalala's personal ambitions, then we have nothing further to discuss.

What personal ambitions? It's comical when idiots with ZERO connection to the University attribute things to Dr. Shalala, because of her political affiliation. Tad Foote was in all likelihood a Republican, did that mean that he fully supported athletics? Dr. Shalala, despite being a supporter of Bill Clinton and the New Democrat movement, rarely brought her own personal beliefs into Ashe. Frankly, if Dr. Shalala had those kind of ambitions, she would have never taken the job here, she could have accomplished more, made more money and furthered her alleged ends a lot better by serving as a lobbyist. Dealing with a bunch of sidewalk alumni isn't worth it, when you have the opportunities she had. Dr. Shalala loves being around college kids, she took an active interest in most of us, she worked her butt off to make sure that the University of Miami became a world class institution, and that the value of our degree remained at an acceptable level.

Ooooooooooooooooh, defensive much, aren't u? Look, homie, I'm not disrespecting you, so don't disrespect me, ya understand? First, u have 0 idea how connected or not connected I am, do you? As a matter of fact, u have absolutely 0 insight as to who on this site is truly connected to the University and in what capacity, so I would suggest before you create a blood aneurism on the right side of your brain by going out of your way defending Shalala, you relax.

However, I thank you for going on your rant, b/c u furthered many of our points. Let's be clear, Miami is a fantastic University; one of the best in this country, and to a certain extent, the world. Shalala went out of her way to create a top notch school of academia...her baby was U Health...that was her passion. She may very well have loved to be around the students and a great Academic President for the school. If this was US Weekly, Reuters, or the Wall Street Journal, my friend, you would have no argument here. However, you're not on any of those sites, you're on CIS. On here, we talk sports, we talk about OUR football program; the same football program that put the little private school in Coral Gables on the map. The same football program that brought prominence to the University of Miami, increased tuition cost, and flooded the school with applications year in and out.

So let me be very blunt with you; your fuzzy, feel good story further makes the argument that Shalala's focus was on academics and not athletics. As a President of a University, that's particularly known for football, it's imperative that you find a happy median between athletics and academics. I would argue that she failed in that area. The Pundits of Shalala argue that she wanted to hire Barry Alvarez, which showed she was committed...(hahahahahahahaha) Barry Alvarez ran a pre-dated offense that worked in the slow BIG10 which is why non of his players were worth a **** in the NFL. He would've been ate alive here as a coach. He would've been Al Golden on steroids.

Whatever narrative you want to create about Dr Shalala is great; I'm sure she was one of the best fundraising, student loving, champion for academics Presidents the university may have ever had; but, when it came to athletics, I would argue that wasn't her forte, and that's been validated by hiring decision after hiring decision, and the attrition of ADs we had under her watch.

she hired Blake.

[The Franchise]

You are as wrong as wrong gets in this post. donna shalala was all about public relations over substance with total control directly by her. She told al golden not to recruit heavily from south Florida. Sure you can say she wanted UM to win in football but her actions created an environment where it was impossible....and she knew it.

All good things in football have happened because Mark Richt was fired and wanted the job here. All good things in basketball have happened because Jim Larranaga begged for the job. Don't think that any person from the administration is responsible for our success in these two sports right now. It has been blind luck, let's just be grateful and roll with it. Do NOT thank Blake James or Frenk for it and don't blame Shalala for it. You're indicating your lack of understanding of what actually happens when you do. How you guys blame Shalala is beyond me. We left the Big East and Nike under her, leading to massive windfalls in cash for athletics. No **** we have money to hire coaches and build new facilities now.

Yea, anyone who tries to say Shalala was bad for the program doesn't understand what really happens at the []_[]. I think the BOTs have become more realistic and upped their level of commitment to winning. As far as Shalala, most people take that tacky narrative of her being a football-hating troll--when in fact--she's been way more supportive of athletics than Tad Foote ever was.

This is ridiculous. Golden recruited heavily from South Florida, his problem was that he couldn't keep the elite players here. What a stupid argument.

LOL at that goofy fable about Shalala telling Folden where to recruit. That's the best tin hat **** going right now on a board full of nonsense.

Explain, Chise. I ain't no potato lifting this dude up. I called for his head numerous of times, calling his office and emailing him. One of the students, can't remember who, stated it might not be on James, but rather Shalala a year or so back. You can't deny that since the troll left and now that he's actually been allowed to be an AD, things have moved in a positive direction on all facets.

He's the same guy he was when he was Folden's lap dog when he was openly mocking fans for being so passionate and for trying to force UM to do something Fake didn't want to do. Just thank God that the fans forced Dimare to make Fake fire his boss Folden.

Anyone who followed this **** closely knows Fake wanted nothing to do with firing Folden. As late as a day before the Clemson game Fake was mocking the fans and claiming Folden was safe for the season. Fake is also the same dried cumsock who made up some phony policy against students having signs at the BUC in order to protect his boss Folden.

Here's what happened. Rick got fired and wanted to coach at his alma mater. Fake was the middle man who arranged for Rick to come to UM. Now, because Rick got fired and fell into our lap (Rick has said repeatedly that he decided not to take a year off from coaching because he knew the UM job wouldn't be open next year) people are celebrating the same dope who was clueless and feckless a few months earlier. Fake had as much to do with actually firing Folden and convincing Rick to come here as you did.

Right because we weren't banging down his door while he was still at UGA when Shalala was president.

She wouldn't have fired Golden after a 58-0 loss, but had no problem firing Coker after the FIU incident and 6-6 season, and no problem firing Shannon after one year of going in the wrong direction. You can't make any more terrible arguments. Please don't respond anymore to this conversation.

Home. And. Home.

Honestly the only thing anyone can be remotely dislike about Blake James currently, is that he has us scheduled to play road games Arkansas St, Toledo, and the one we just played at Appalachian St.

However, he is clearly doing that because it makes more sense for us financially to just travel to these G5 schools rather than pay $500k per yr to have them come. And I would actually say traveling to App St actually worked out really well for us, it probably wouldn't have been on ESPN if it was at Home, and would have gotten the publicity it did if it wasn't the biggest game in their school history.

I'm very satisfied with the job he has done the past year or two.

JHallCanes sees the problem...

We already had FAMU and FAU on the schedule. How about scheduling a home and home against a real ******* team that fans want to see Miami play? Don't give me the last minute bull**** regarding App State, because that doesn't explain the Arkansas State and Toledo trips in the future. Scheduling those games is pure ****ery. It's loser mentality at work.

 

[The Franchise]

Blake James is a putz and the only thing he's been good at is staying out of Richts way. You're fooling yourself if you think Blake had anything to do with the recent surge in momentum, Richt is the boss here and he's the one steering the ship.

He stayed out of Folden's way too. All he was while Folden was HC was Folden's do boy and head cheerleader.

Anyone who followed this **** closely knows Fake wanted nothing to do with firing Folden. As late as a day before the Clemson game Fake was mocking the fans and claiming Folden was safe for the season. Fake is also the same dried cumsock who made up some phony policy against students having signs at the BUC in order to protect his boss Folden.

Here's what happened. Rick got fired and wanted to coach at his alma mater. Fake was the middle man who arranged for Rick to come to UM. Now, because Rick got fired and fell into our lap (Rick has said repeatedly that he decided not to take a year off from coaching because he knew the UM job wouldn't be open next year) people are celebrating the same dope who was clueless and feckless a few months earlier. Fake had as much to do with actually firing Folden and convincing Rick to come here as you did.

I agree with everything you said. He still has a manly looking wife and all, and no doubt, he was the jerk off we wanted to hang. However, you don't think that he has changed his tune quite a bit now that a President change has taken place?

I don't even know what "changing his tune" means. He's the same guy he was a few months ago before Dimare fired his hero Folden and before Rick fell in our laps.

Who was responsible for ruining Alabama's football program when they hired Perkins, Curry, Dubose, Franchione, Price and Shula? The same AD who hired Franchione, Price and Shula hired Saban. Did he suddenly get swag and balls and a giant brain when the boosters got sick of losing and paid Saban whatever he wanted?

I'll refrain from making fun of his trans wife......for now.

Explain, Chise. I ain't no potato lifting this dude up. I called for his head numerous of times, calling his office and emailing him. One of the students, can't remember who, stated it might not be on James, but rather Shalala a year or so back.
