Listen, I’m no alum, but as much as I talk to alums, I have a pretty good handle to certain aspects.
Do this school have been he $ like state schools? No; however, keep in mind that we spent $7m to secure Diaz. We paid Richt his highest payday in his entire career. I would argue, Miami’s spending on coaches for the past several yrs have been on par w/ most state schools across the nation. I would also argue that Miami has bled through more money than most schools sans UT via its **** poor decisions on their hires.
I would think w/ the narrative of Miami not having the resources like other schools, they would be more judicious in their hires. These were their hires:
Randy Shannon (No HC experience, DC of a dysfunctional team that spiraling down)
Al Golden (a sub .500 coach at the G5 level, trending down before taking the hire)
Mark Richt (fired from his previous job, trending down for 3 yrs)
Manny Diaz (See Randy Shannon’s resume)
That’s unacceptable as a program. That’s **** poor leadership & y we keep getting embarrassed. But hey, as long as that ACC & Adidas $ come in, right?
