Gino Resigning

[Hoyacane1620]

“After evaluating this past season and talking extensively with my family, I have decided it is in my best interests and the best interests of the program to step away as head coach,” DiMare said in a statement. “I would like to thank President Frenk and Dan Radakovich for their support, and Blake James for giving me the opportunity to become the head coach at Miami. I want to thank my coaches and staff for all their hard work, and especially the players – the relationships I have built with them are something I will cherish forever.”

Losing a lot of talented starters and a coach, gonna be an interesting offseason, hope we can get some good transfers to bridge the gap.

This ain't Blake James. Dan is a tremendous AD and demands only the best for his Alma mater. Dimare has been a flop doing less with more for too long. It was time.

Yeah, and I was actually in the room a year ago when another alum brought up another team (and its relative lack of success) and Dan was very clear about giving that coach another year, and then reevaluating.

I'm still not thrilled with the 2023 outcome, but I thought that MAYBE the slight improvement in outcome would lead to Gino's return, but I also knew that the porster complaints of "nepotism" and a lifetime contract for Gino was also WRONG.

Except Blake wasn’t going to fire Richt

True.

We going to start throwing candidate names out in this thread or make a new one?

 

[JayCane20]

Rob Vaughn from Maryland would be top of my list of realistic candidates.

But someone to fix the pitching staff might be more important. Georgia just hired the obvious best candidate for that.

Where is @scane ?!?!

 

[Gobuxcanes]

Maybe he heard a better option further south? I think his son plays at FIU.

 

[We'retheBoss]

This absolutely needed to happen, and I'm glad it's being handled in a classy manner (at least publicly). I am giddy like Christmas morning at the thought of a new hire...hopefully it's from the outside

Answers the question of whether Rad would accept this continued underperformance.

Exactly. "Resigned"

He does. El Duque's kid is on that team too.

YESSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSS

Best news I've heard surrounding this program in years.

Thank you to Gino and his family for all of their contributions over a long period of time.

When Gino took over, he said if he couldn’t get Miami back to where it should be, he would step aside. He lived up to that.

Best of luck to Gino and his family for all their generosity and commitment to the school - they are true Canes.

There should be plenty of qualified candidates. Rad pleasantly surprised me on holding the programs to a high standard. Now, he gets his first test on a major program search/new hire.
