*Update Eddie Nunez Emerges as Strong Candidate for Miami AD Job

[Jassid82]

A few posters have alluded to this and I agree...As long as the AD is told to stay the **** out of Mario's way and give him a blank check whenever he asks for it..Then what does it matter if Nunez or whoever is hired? Let them play around with the other sports and let Mario run his side of the building and only needs help or support when he asks for it. Thats how things should be ran anyway.

 

[canesstevealum08]

It's far less important than people think in my opinion, but I'm fairly ignorant on the subject. I'd imagine that Saban built up Bama, not the AD. The AD is Saban's yes-man. Same at many other schools where the head coach is successful and trusted.

Yeah big-time programs he’s more of a partner not a boss

 

[Fluffhead]

Of course they did. That 30% finder's fee doesn't earn itself...

They probably had to search high and low for an AD that would be ok not touching football. Appeasing whoever it was pushing Zo over football is what likely cut the applicant pool down the most.

 

[DMoney]

The search firm looked through every D1 athletic department, found the Hispanic names, researched if they were from Miami and started calling.

What part of Spain do the names James, Eichorst and Hocutt come from?

Nobody here knows anything about any of these guys. It's just emotional whining.

 

[TheOriginalCane]

Anybody mind telling me what makes him unqualified?

There's a difference between "unqualified" and "unaccomplished" or "lack of accomplishments".

Not an insider .. BUT just read a comment by a guy who does have some BOT contact .. he believes that Nunez is the guy in some combination with Alonzo. Alonzo having primary responsibility for football operations and Nunez for the financials and all other sports. No idea of what "titles" would be handed out. AD to Nunez and Assistant AD to Alonzo? Realize it is NOT a new scenario .. but was just "reinforced" a few minutes ago. TIFWIW.

Thank you!

Nunez, Zo and Mario (I know you didn't say Mario) ..... That is 10000% better than what we have had here in the last 20 years, IMO.... I am willing to definitely give that a chance and let it ride.

I mean not too shabby..

People don't want him because he effing sucks. Look at his record as athletic director. Football stinks, basketball stinks. He shouldn't even be a realistic candidate let alone being granted second interviews. The only thing that makes sense as to why he is being considered is because he is a Miami Cubano and that is NOT the way things should be done. It's pathetic. Get Nunez the fu*k outta my face.

The LSU part of his background and what he was involved with there is the most important part.

Moar Country Girl ads please.

 

[Pentagon Cane]

I'd like to hear more about Eddie Alvarez, is he he guy Eddie Nunez replaced?

Bingo, cannot even get the name correctly. Jackson is a clown.

 

[CaneFanWNY]

I dont wanna catch up on a dozen pages of likely silly **** but I just wanna say: when this whole process is all set in stone and done: whoever(s) was behind this whole clownshow amateur 'wouldn't even see this happen at the high-school level' hour **** with these leaks and misinformation


Kindly take your money and fvck your own face with it until its rendered unrecognizable.


/ill take my band if applicable

People have a hard time defining accomplishments already, so... dont make it too hard on them.

 

[TooColdToHold]

Why is there a 17 page thread on a potential AD getting a 2nd interview? Get a grip people. As long as the administration follows through on the plan to inject cash into the program and get a good coach, it will all be ok.

Agree but I didn’t see too many rough spots.

 

[cf3000]

We don't know yet. Nobody actually knows anything.

Fair enough.

 

[RealRussellPumps]

I mean at least he's not Tony Hernandez I guess. Not the type of alpha I think our AD needs to be but who knows I guess. If he really does allow Zo to handle the football side of things I guess it could work. Super underwhelmed tbh.

 

[rsa coral gables]

Guy was a D-1 athlete. Blake was a D-1 P*** a** b***! Played for Billy Donovan, knows what it takes to run high level sports from LSU. Only time will tell if this was a good move

the more important experience is 17 years at LSU.

 

[Go Canes!!]

New Mexico went through some Title IX issues and were undergoing an audit when he was hired related to that - he inherited the mess and had nothing to do with it. Men's sports has been dealing with budget cuts and constraints related to that investigation to "level" the women's sports. Their athletic dept was in bad shape to begin with getting bailed out by the state for fired coaching buyouts.

Hard to make any kind of assumption on his ability as an AD from New Mexico.

No way they can conclude he's the best candidate for the job either based on that. He's gonna have to prove his worth if it's him

Good information. I’m sure the Jurich or bust crowd will read it and of course immediately wipe their asses with it.

This. My lord.
