Is this the biggest transformation of a program?

Yes. Who knows what the end result will be, but we stopped slapping new windshield wipers on our 1989 Honda Accord and just went out and bought a Ferrari. That doesn’t happen. Even the UGA examples, yes, Kirby changed the program. But UGA didn’t invest any more than they were with Richt. Or at least nothing monumental. Kirby is just better at playing the game.

Here, it’s been a complete reversal of philosophy. We went from spending nothing to spending everything. I can’t think of any examples quite like

I agree D. Wasn’t saying scoreboard this year. Just ultimately results will tell us in time what kind of overhaul it’s been. I see no reason to not be optimistic. Which despite my best efforts I haven’t been in a long time.
 
I know some here just look at football. What has transpired here is all the U sports have been put in position to be better with new AD and financial support. Whether each sport including football get better or not remains to be seen. My thoughts are they will?

It could go either way

It’s too premature to definitively say yay or nay...

But I’d definitely say Miami & USC’s new financial investment into their programs is shaping up to pay big dividends in the future & redistribute the power structure over the landscape of college football.

Even in USC’s hay day when they were winning, they weren’t spending a lot of money, they won their titles off talent & coaching, same thing with Miami in the 80-00’s, talent & coaching.

Where the two programs got lapped is they refused to invest in the program & got caught by a tidal wave of the economic boom that cratered college football & the programs that took advantage of it, (Bama, Clemson, UGA, OH ST) all have benefitted greatly with long sustained winning & National title bids for the greater part of the last decade plus.

What Schnelly & Jimmy Johnson did took the college football world by storm, it was so monumental that it took years for the rest of Nation to catch up, but by the time they did, we had gotten so relaxed & complacent that we allowed nearly every other program to pass us up & they did so by miles. The refusal to financially invest in the program is at the crux of why we’ve been destitute for the last 20 years, so in theory with the new reprisal of financial investment & competence we could very well be on the precipice of our next Dynastic run...

However, the biggest hurdle we’ll have to face is the “Good Ol’ Boy” network; they hold the keys to who wins & who profits the most in college football & make no mistake about, all these Deep South Confederate schools having all the rules bent in their favor, being allowed to openly cheat, hoard all the talent & winning the championship every year is not by accident.

Wow. Depth south confederate schools. Really??. Fighting the civil war again?. Terrible reference. Maybe the Mafia has a hand in this too

Hate to bring his name up again but I think Kirby overhauled Georgia as well but not to the extent that Saban did with Bama and Mario will do with us. Mark Richt ran a good program but I still think Kirby came in and overhauled a lot.

I know everyone tired of talking about these two programs but they are the standard at the moment.

Georgia dumped $200,000,000 into the program the year after Smart took Richt’s old squad to the national title game in his second season.

Hard to give Smart all that credit for an overhaul as program was in good shape—they just poured gas on that fire by way of a nine-figure investment.

Texas A&M overhaul was bigger IMO. They went from middle of the road Big 12 team to almost guaranteeing a national championship with their last recruiting class.

When Miami strings a couple top 3 classes together then I’ll believe we’re back.

Recruiting rankings are everything. Everything else is just noise

And as impressive as it’s been so far, and yes I get that it’s transition, but fact is we only signed a top 20 class which will only yield top 20 results

I’m in wait and see mode

Yeah, it’s a complete coincidence that Alabama, Georgia, Clemson & LSU have won all the National titles in recent history...

There was way more parity before & the national title was spread out around the country in the BCS era...

Now it’s just schools from the Deep South, what’s so bad or wrong about what I said? Am I wrong? Except for Ohio State has any school from any region other than the South won a National title in the CFP era?

When we hired Schnelly but without the financial commitment.

Nope.

When Lou Saban took over from Carl Selmer. The roster purge began immediately. For whatever reason, he didn’t see it through. But he set things up nicely for Schnelly.

At the time schnelly was OC for the dolphins and IMO, the changes Saban began was a big reason Schnelly took a chance on UM.

That’s a fact that is way too much overlooked. I was as puzzled as anyone as to why Saban left but he never seemed to stay anywhere for long.

That being said, what Schnelly accomplished from there on out completely changed the Miami football program and the face of CFB.
 
Well, yes maybe,

And lets face it, we could still have Manny as head coach. Just the other night I woke up in a cold sweat thinking that.

Results aren't what determine the overhaul and investment. The commitment has been made. What will those investments yield? We all hope dominance and titles. The commitment to Miami Football in particular has an enormous feel to it. Im not a prophet or a son of a prophet, but it feels like we are gearing up for the SEC. Motherphuckers, I said it first!
