White boys need not apply. Miami has become FIU, coral gables campus. Bullshtt

Its really no offense to Nunez. Im sure he has a great resume and at least has AD experience..I just think people are tired of the "Miami Mafia/UM Cult" hires and wanted some outside blood coming into the fold. Nunez actually could be a great hire but its just more of the same at this point.

That makes sense. Does he have any other ties to UM besides just growing up in Miami? If that's his only tie, he seems like an outsider enough.

"In 2020-21, despite the hardships associated with COVID-19, the Lobos led the Mountain West with six championships, winning in women’s basketball, women’s soccer, women’s cross country, women’s golf, men’s golf and men’s tennis."

I know nothing about the guy, but shrug, that's nothing to sneeze at

You ain't winning in football at New Mexico lol

If you bring Highsmith in with him for football, it just might work fellas. Or it might not, because we're cursed

Apparently he also won the Commissioner Award.

No clue what that is tho.

I must be out of the loop, is there anything especially impressive about Nunez and his work at New Mexico? I don't know anything about him.

Football and basketball program have both tanked while under his leadership.. They werent great to begin with but got even worst.. Just a terrible run program overall, but he is from miami and a miami bro.. soooo that qualifies enough

 

[TheWhiskeyMiser]

So, you are saying that he is a stone cold killer IN WOMEN’S SPORTS?!?!?! Just what The Woke U needs!

"That followed his August of 2020 appointment to the 30-person Lead1 Working Group for Diversity, Equity, and Inclusion in College Sports."

Imagine hiring a search firm and then this is what they come up with. They would have been 100x better off hiring a few random usernames off of CIS.

BBB bring back blake

 

[Mnhurricane]

I mean we could just Google the top 50 schools and contact their ADs. **** I’ll do it for whatever the price of that search firm was

 

[Bender]

So we are judging an AD based on Win-Loss-records now. Okay.

 

[hoops156]

MAS BROTHERS BRO!!!

No one in this stupid ******* city knows a thing about football. We are an abomination. A catastrophe. A scourge on society. A mistake that global warming will correct. I just hope that day comes soon.

but they know FUTBOL. wait they don't know **** bout that either.

My dude, THIS IS A FOOTBALL PROGRAM!! WTF, IDGAF ABOUT WOMENS GOLF.. @Problem2, we cant lose now, not like this.. wtf is going on out here

 

[Tad Footeball]

Here's one question to ask yourself about Nunez or Tony Hernandez to the guys that are giving those type of hires the benefit of the doubt:

Would either of them ever fire (or even have the power to fire) our baseball coach without the explicit blessing of a few specific boosters?

If the answer is "no" or "I dunno" then we're hiring a puppet that is going to be limited to mayyyybe fiddling with hoops and fundraising and trying to bring a women's cross country team here.

 

[DiegoCane]

Basketball should at least be good lol.... I'm only okey with this if he has nothing to do with the football program and Zo has full control of it.... Seems like Blake James 2.0 in my opinion.

New Mexico basketball had their worst season since 1980 last year.

 

[WhatTheHell]

What's wrong with Nunez is that the people who are considering hiring him seem to have his top attribute as "knows the city and the culture."

Cool. Big whoop. Give Tom Jurich a map and let him watch a couple Pitbull videos.

The main point is, when you've been mostly a joke in sports for nearly two decades, and your president publicly touts his renewed efforts to become a serious school athletically (including a huge investment of funds to make big-time hires) well, you're not expecting the AD from New Mexico with a shlt resume to be the first shoe to drop in this purported serious makeover of Miami athletics.

 

[blushrts]

Why not hire Eddie Torres the extra ******** at this point?

 

[SFbayCane]

I'm telling you guys. UM is gonna hire a hispanic blake james.

Watch.

Whew, I feel better knowing our women's lacrosse team will compete for ACC titles. That should bring big money to the school!
