I’m in Covington and my company does a lot of work in BR so I know a lot of people around the program.My company worked on the new athletic facilities and I met some people in the know.Don’t disagree. Unfortunately Miami’s BOT doesn’t think about football like LSU does. I live close to Baton Rouge and been a canes fans since I was young. Remember watching the Nebraska game when they stopped 2 point conversion and was hooked ever since. Hopefully we can get back to those days.
I’ve been at this for 60+ years with the Canes so I’ve seen more than my share of stupidity that has gone on with this program over the years.Circumstances ( as I alluded to in another post) allowed Miami to reach historic levels albeit pretty much the way they do it nowadays…on the cheap during that 20 yr period.
Now everyone has copied and caught up to the advantage we had and unlike Miami they are willing to put the resources into their programs to keep the status quo….Miami is still trying to do it at 1980 prices …pennies on the dollars.
To me this hire of a coach and AD can revive this program or send it spiraling into the abyss…..id like to think they will do the right thing but unfortunately through the years I’ve seen nothing to make me think they will..
All we can do is hope someone with common sense and a little say so will take the lead here.Unfortunately I think the people taking the lead will send us into that spiral I mentioned.
Sure hope I’m wrong.
