She will always be remembered for ruining Miami football.

When she arrived, we had Butch Davis at head coach, the orange bowl, and the greatest winning tradition in college football.

She couldn't get a deal done with Butch, laughed as the orange bowl came crumbling down, and has overseen the fall of Miami to a 7-5 team year in/out.

She is more concerned with APR scores and keeping a spotless image than she is with winning.

Her head coaching hires: Larry Coker, followed by Randy Shannon, followed by Al Golden

She has not been able to keep an AD for more than a month at a time.

The only way she could keep an AD working for her is by promoting a glorified accountant Blake "the snake" James, that spineless sack of ****

NO facility imporvements, investment in the program at all relative to other programs



This week, she had the chance to change that. She had a chance to hire a great coach, to leave her lasting legacy as one that turned Miami around.

She spat in our faces.

**** that little troll.

This is all on Donna and our crap BOT.

But it's okay because she wants to win. Doesn't want to do anything that would actually result in wins, but hey she really wants to.

She doesn't want to win. She doesn't give a **** all about the football program... just like our BOT.

The evidence that they gave up on football was the day the Orange Bowl went down.

The only reason they don't shutter the football program altogether is so they can milk a little free money from gullible diehards.... the only fans that are left.

And there ARE only a few of us left. Don't kid yourself. The majority of our fanbase walked out the door years ago.
 
Stole money from athletic departments just for a 12 point bump in the top 100 since she came here

Worst president in miami history..couldnt care less what anyone says on that

I'm no longer proud to say I attended the University of Miami.

That alone makes her a terrible president. She destroyed any sense of loyalty or pride I used to have toward my alma mater.

I'm done with this program. **** this bull****, I have better things to do with my time.

If the admin is no longer committed to us, then I'm no longer committed to them.

OK, there's plenty of valid criticisms about DS (the admin has actively tried to distance themselves from the stuff that made Miami special, and was late with facility improvements) but most of this is nonsense.

1. Butch left right before signing day in early 2001. Shalala didn't take over until June 2001. So she had nothing to do with Butch.

2. Yeah we lost 2 AD's but had Paul Dee forever and now we have Blake James. Both of them have been underperforming, so it's fair to criticize her there. Criticizing her for 2 AD's leaving quickly is stupid.

3. There have been a ton of recent facility improvements. They came late, and UM was reactive as usual, but saying that there were "NO" facility improvements is just wrong.
 
Congrats on the stupidest freaking post of the day.

Your university is located smack in the middle of the most fertile recruiting area in the nation.... by a long shot.

It should not take TEN YEARS to field a competitive football team.

That fact alone implies either mismanagement, or a lack of focus on football.

If they wanted to win, they would win. They aren't interested. All they care about is squeezing the last few remaining drops of cash from the few gullible fans that are still left (most have already bailed on this program) before the well inevitably dries up for good.
 
Her legacy is tied to UHealth. It's been struggling, but things are so ****ed up down here that they still have a 50/50 shot of making it a real success. If only because they keep throwing money at it, it's rife with controversy and corruption, yet still alive.

Every single year since Shalala took over, this program has been in steady decline from a W/L perspective.

She has made poor hires, or has been unable to retain the good hires she has made. Hence all the turnover.

She has mismanaged coaching contracts.... giving extensions where they weren't warranted.

She stood idly by as the historic Orange Bowl, the only chance Miami ever had at its own stadium, crumbled down around her.

She has done NOTHING since that terrible day to rectify the situation.... keeping us at that morgue known as Sun Life Stadium. Don't talk to me about facility improvements. Until we have our own stadium, we have no facilities.

Fact.... we had a stadium before Donna.... we have no stadium now after Donna. Hence.... overall, our facility situation since she took over has been DOWNGRADED.

Her leadership, from a football perspective, has been garbage.

That's disturbing

Except the public face of the University of Miami has always been its football team. The layman not living in South Florida doesn't give a toss about UHealth.

Ironically enough, most of UM's students, donors, and faculty are not from South Florida.

Some hospital in Coral Gables means squat to anyone not local to that area.

She also insulted my intelligence with the cloud when I asked her why Golden was still employed.

Next time follow up with "Then why are you still employed, since you captained the ship while it crashed into THE CLOUD." That is the biggest part of her legacy. She took us into the GREATEST NCAA SCANDAL in history. For someone concerned about image, she is the biggest blight to our image.
 
She did what Tom Osborne and Nebraska, Barry Switzer and Oklahoma, and Bobby Bowden and FSU could never do....take down Miami Hurricanes football!!!

I thought we were educational institution not a health care provider. We need an investigation of her entire tenure. She might be a bigger crook than the governor. From now on the banners need to be for Special Prosecutor! ***** needs jail.
