Details on Friday meeting between Blake James and large donors

[sml]

Holy **** @ that last sentence.

I couldn’t help but to laugh at the last sentence too. Smh.

 

[TerragonSix]

Highsmith is not expected to accept the offer and instead is in discussions with Mario Cristobal at Oregon.

Yeah because Christobal wants way less money and a figurehead job.

Dmoney, if that was a troll post, I bit on that hook line and sinker. I literally yelled out loud, "Goddammit!"

Fire Blake James. Hes now a football ****block.

 

[Problem2]

No seriously, why are they so hesitant to fire Flake?

If he's being insubordinate and not listening to what they want, then fire him

 

[htownkidd]

If true, take 'em out back.

 

[canefan96]

There in no way Fake has this much power, large donors would just walk away.

And many you STILL think the billboard is a bad idea?!?! Fluck that, man.

 

[TheOriginalCane]

How in God's name can Beta Blake "refuse" ANYTHING that the BOT wants him to do?

This is insanity. Absolute insanity.

 

[ThomasM]

Lmao @ these puzzy *** BOT members. You want Highsmith, you ******* fire Blake and hire him

That is indeed what it will take.

 

[dolemite79]

how can the high level boosters and BOT members stand for this? It's insane.

 

[umiamifan1]

WTF, he “refused”? Those donors should let the BOT know that their donations will dry up until Blake and Manny cede some control. Let’s see who the board sides with.

 

[SA Cane]

This is good news Mario and Zo together and let Manure and ***Boy die together next year.

 

[nvlahos]

First of all - FIRE BLAKE JAMES

Second - What role is Highsmith going to take at Oregon? A position of power role their too?

 

[305407cane]

Zo to Oregon!!!!! Lmao

 

[joseermonfils]

Lmao you can’t make this up

 

[wushah]

The BoT should just boot Blake James and bring in Zo, bypass him completely.

 

[Canesmia01]

Would Zo really get a position above Mario (who is killing it at Oregon)? Either way *** you Blake

 

[smack99]

Which is why hiring Lashlee Da gawd as some of you are already claiming him as does nothing. The program is still run by a clown show.

Per a source with knowledge of the meeting, a group of high-level donors met with Blake James on Friday. The purpose of the meeting was to offer significant money if Manny was willing to make necessary changes.

Most notably, the group wanted Alonzo Highsmith to take on a general manager role that would usurp some of Blake and Manny’s power over the football program. One booster even offered to pay Highsmith’s salary for two years. Blake refused and instead offered a more traditional “chief of staff” role that was mostly administrative in nature.

Highsmith is not expected to accept the offer and instead is in discussions with Mario Cristobal at Oregon.

I hate Blake James. This guy is garbage. Needs to go like yesterday!

 

[QuadCam]

How does James keep his job? Is this because Frenk had no clue how much football did to raise the visibility of this University in the last 35 years?
