I am on tilt and can't stop posting. But in no particular order:

1. Georgia - Duh
2. Texas - Duh
3. Ohio State - Duh
3. Oregon - Lanning is a stud
4. Tennessee - Recruiting is excellent, Iamaleava should be better next year
5. Alabama - Brand will always be strong and plenty of money to spend

After those five, things start getting a little dicey:

6. Penn State - Another year of Allar, always excellent on defense
7. Notre Dame - Brand is strong and schedule is always manageable
8. Auburn - Stacking recruiting classes, plenty of resources
9. LSU - I guess?
10. Michigan - Resources. How good is Underwood?

I post this only to try and put things in perspective. If the expectation is to put the program on par with Georgia, I think we will be consistently disappointed. But if you give me a Top 10-15 team to root for every year at a private school in the ACC, I am taking that all day long.

I would rather be a Miami football program run by competent individuals willing to do what it takes to win.

Very few programs can beat that team.
 
We did Oregon the biggest favor they could have ever possibly dreamed of. I personally wanted Lanning but we just had to listen to former players and go after a “Miami” guy. You would think we would have learned our lesson with ole Uncle Clappy or Shannon but nope. We hired the guy even after seeing his team perform against Utah and get his *** handed to him twice!

Please, elaborate on who these competent individuals are.

Start with hiring the next AD, as well as fully reviewing the hiring process around "Miami guys Mario and JD Arteaga" and whether they are consistent with sound hiring process of the experience someone like President Joe has seen at elite organizations.

We just won 10 games for the second time in 20 years and you are ready to burn it all to the ground again, starting with the AD? Does Radakovich not have experience at the helm of an elite organization? I could have sworn Clemson won multiple national titles with him at the helm.

The grass is always greener I guess.

How is hiring a new AD and reviewing our hiring processes burning it to the ground? Rad is not the long term AD solution. We hired the football coach before the AD last time. Rad is said to have not had control over the JD decision -- those are problematic ways to run an athletic program.

JD was a bad hire - so Rad either hired him - bad or didn't because the AD had no choice -- bad, and maybe worse.

New President should review the state of affairs of the entire University, including the very valuable athletic department.
