Latest on Highsmith

Ted is my fraternity brother (though he is much older than me).

The portraits I'm talking about were head shots (may have been after a game), and some of the guys from the 70s had some enormous photos.

I was always proud of the guys who were not as well known as UM alums, guys like Chuck Foreman, Jim Otto, Jim Burt, Ottis Anderson. ****, I loved Marion and Lippett and Lester Williams on the Patriots. Dennis Harrah for the Rams. Rubin Carter and Don Latimer for the Broncos.

Good times.

Just think as respected as ted is imagine what he wouldve been without the alcohol. It has always been his one crutch. Were you close with ted? Did you ever meet Janet? I loved her to death. Really hurt when she passed. Think it put ted over the top too. Everything got so much worse for him after.

So is highsmith coming or not. I just read a report that stated he isn't. Something to the effect of Manny was concerned about the amount of power Alonzo would have.

My bad if already posted. AP reporting. Should be solid.

Per John McClain a long time football writer with the Houston Chronicle & good friend of Alonzo Highsmith, Alonzo will be joining UM as Director of Football Operations. He will have final say on all UM Football decisions. Great news!

Either you are breaking news or this backs you up.

So Blake James finally spoke to Highsmith, realised he'd be the ***** in the relationship and is suddenly looking at other options.

Thought Flake was used to that

Everyone else knows our Admin is a **** show, it’s no wonder our recruiting has fallen off

 

[Problem2]

Danny making **** up again?

 

[mavericksouth]

I don't know what the ****kk to believe anymore....

I find it interesting how people are saying John McClain said this but no one can find where he actually said this lol. If McClain actually reported this it would be on his Twitter

I hope Highsmith takes the job, then shocks the world by firing Manny Diaz and hiring Navy's HC, Ken Niumatalolo. The triple option comes to Miami!

We deserve to have a joke of a program, because this fanbase and the decision makers continue to fall for the same crap. There are dozens of high quality, dynamic, experienced administrators that can do the job that Blake James can't do. Instead of actually going out and hiring a quality AD and letting them do the job, we keep doing the "Miami Guy Bro" thing. I love Zo as an NFL personnel guy, but this "Hire him to oversee a college football program" thing is stupid. He has no experience in dealing with the unique stew of crap that is college football. Will he be responsible for raising football specific funds? Will he have a hand in football specific marketing?

UMiami needs someone that has the ability to fill those roles, someone that can set the tone, and bring in some new ideas. Zo, like a lot of our older alumni are extremely stubborn, hence the whole reliance on the "State of Miami", when it has become obvious that Miami needs to get back to recruiting nationally, to supplement the guys that can be landed locally. This program will NEVER get anywhere if it continues to be the Habsburg dynasty of college football programs. The institutional inbreeding needs to end, NOW. No other school do you have most of the department staff be former students and interns that never left. It's insane.

Paul Johnson would then be saying...

"Finally, the triple option....has come back.....to Miami!"

Tim Reynolds with AP and he usually on point. Would I look to AP for political news? Nope. But fake news in sports? Guess it's possible.

[Negro-Wan Kanobi]

So we back to not being back?

[LeavingJesusland]

Browns got rid of Dorsey, so Lonzo may want to jump ship. I hate that both of my teams are incompetent as f*ck
