The U Administration's commitment to Miami football...

30 million is a paltry sum in modern collegiate athletics. Wazzou just dropped more than twice that into their facilities like it was nothing. And that's Wazzou.

****, OP can fit more than 30 million in quarters in each of her nostrils.

I heard that. The same thing applies if you can get 5X to settle his bet.

..and given the situations at the time of each hiring, there was nothing wrong with the hires. Like I said before, Coker was hired when Butch left last minute after promising to stay. By then pretty much all of the major coaching candidates had already found other jobs. Shannon was considered a top DC and an up and coming coach, and given his UM ties, it wasn't a bad choice at the time. Unfortunately he turned out to be a terrible head coach. Golden was widely considered a young up and coming coach (and as far as I'm concerned the verdict on his is far from decided). So it's not like she hired ADs that made terrible decisions in hiring coaches.

Coker I don't complain about (just the extension). Quite often schools hire the successful coordinator at a successful school (Miami under Butch).

[We should have learned here the risk involved in hiring a coordinator without HC experience]

Schools normally don't hire the green coordinator from an unsuccessful regime. Regardless of Shannon's success as a DC, it made little sense given that we fired the HC. The other problem is why did we give this guy an extension? Another terrible decision.

As for Golden, on paper it made sense. I don't complain about the initial hiring. Was it my first choice, nope. He showed promise, he had HC experience, he had success and a terrible school.

As for the ADs we look back on everything and we learn the following:

1. Frank Haith

2. Coker (extension)

3. Shannon (and the extension)

4. Jim Morris (extension)

--------------------

I consider Coach L the best hiring we have done under her regime and it is not even close. Even if I consider AG an incomplete. 4 out of 6 were terrible. 1 is an incomplete.

And didn't coach L fall into our laps? iirc, he contacted UM.

I have no idea. They did give him a contract and for that we thank you. They can get credit for that one.

You do realize that people/companies/trusts/foundations give money for very specific purposes, right? Like the $100 million gift from the Diabetes Research Institute Foundation? Your acting like people just write checks made payable to the University of Miami and tell them to spend it as they see fit. They are lawyers and contracts involved…

Maybe it is my fault. Maybe I don't explain myself well. I don't disagree with the above, my point is that Shalala is a fundraising machine. I'm very sure that we could have amended either campaign (Momentum 1 or 2) and made this more of a priority and gotten the money we need.

We're not some poor private school either like your false analogy. We do incredibly well (cough cough hospital bleeding) and we could have made this football program a bigger priority. This is my point. I don't believe this Admin has the made football the priority it needs to be. I'm not saying the highest priority either, I'm just saying a higher priority.

This really is a waste of time. We will never really see eye to eye. I guess you think everything is good with this Admin and that is your right.

But I think our point, is that she has raised a ton more money than any one, two, or probably three Pres' combined. Someone said Tad Foote? Are you ****ing kidding? We won in spite of him. He wanted to get rid of football!!

I stopped here because you compared a loser troll to another loser. Outdoing a loser can still make you a loser.

Let me know about how that cloud impacted the last 6 games when you get a chance.

This is a really simple argument. What measurable success have we seen on the field in over a decade? The process is broken and it's systemic. It starts at the top. She inherited a great program and whatever her process is - it's failed for over a decade.

That is incorrect, she got 30 million for athletics.

Highsmith and Rodgers at safety. Shayon Green at DE. Jimmy Gaines at LB. Having to bring in Renfroe at DT that played like he was 215 lbs.

I'm not giving Golden a pass. However, imagine recruiting against the SEC, FSU, Clemson, ND, USC, Texas, etc…when all of those programs have coaches telling a kid and his family that Miami is gonna get the death penalty…or best case if you go there you won't be able to compete for a national championship or go to a bowl game.

I've said it before, if my son was looking at Miami when the investigation started, I would have steered him elsewhere. A lot of kids and their parents did the same.

Coach D has sucked terribly thus far. That's a fact. I can't throw Golden entirely under the bus until I see the product this year. If we suck this year, all bets are off.

 

[CyberCane]

I take that back..if we aren't good enough to win the coastal, all bets are off.

It's a little tough to drum up support internally at a top 50 school for football when that sport has brought embarrassment to the school. I'd imagine the same is true when trying to raise funds. I don't know that to be the case, but just a hunch.

No. It has nothing to do with anything. I was trying to get him to respond to some BS he said weeks ago about the cloud somehow impacting our last 6 games.

I guess it is because they have 6500 in undergrad at a small private institution they can get this done...oh wait.

What are the the results on the field. That's how I and most fans determine success. Apparently our on field performance isn't relative to your success criteria.
