I can't say I disagree with so much as a word that you wrote. I just always laugh when people yell about Dabo when there are 100s of others that never figured it out and just were not good coaches or fits.

I think at a minimum, we can all agree that Dabo turning it around like that is the MASSIVE exception and not the rule. I am trying to think of another guy like that and am drawing a blank.

If Manny gets another year, any idea on what the staff looks like? I have no idea who would come here knowing he is on the hot seat but that would be the ultimate Miami move.

Imagine putting it on record that you are that inept and unprepared in your job.

Bienemy also may be getting frustrated or ****ed off with NFL teams passing him over. Complete conjecture, but he has interviewed a ton in the last couple of years.

Think a decent number of the higher profile/bigger fish stick around if Diaz is gone and the right coach is brought in?

That’s absolutely fair. I think they hated it here and it was always a stepping stone.

Hocutt actually wasn’t terrible. He has managed to hire some good coaches at TT and is respected in the field. He inherited Tuberville, fired him after a year and hired Kingsbury, no idea if the current coach is good or not. Their basketball program is really good, and his conference picked...

I can imagine it is Manny but maybe even worse. He is an equally bad coach and even more latched on to his parents teet to get the job. The difference this time is the AD may be on his way out first or at the same time. At a minimum, I can imagine people have essentially muzzled him and told...

We can call it the Stupid Tax

But you still need an AD and Mario is still a coaching lottery ticket. For me, I want Blake gone tomorrow, a real AD brought in ASAP, and figure out the other pieces from there, whether that is Mario, Alonzo, or whoever. We will have to agree to disagree.

I honestly don’t know the ADs and associate ADs across the country to give an opinion or list of names. I’m also not paid to know that. But I do know as a matter of business sense that if you’re handing a guy $5-6m a year with a huge buyout, you don’t want the AD there solely because of him and...

And that is why Miami is where it is. You get a qualified alpha leader at AD and the coach will be fine with it.

Funny because the reactions would be good or funny because it would be the ultimate arms in the air, **** this place moment?

Sure, it may be able to support itself and invest back into itself, but it won’t be paying for Title IX and Olympic type sports. Of course, if Gino keeps burying this program, they could have as many seats as it wants and it would be empty.

Who said he was part of the hiring process? He needed to go years ago. Mario being ok with the AD and Mario choosing the AD are two very different things. You cannot allow a coach to choose an AD, his boss. You need an AD not named Blake James in place ASAP to drive this process.

Let’s change the hypothetical. Let’s say you fire them simultaneously, wait around, and then Cristobal says no, which he very well might. I’m not sure I’d leave Oregon for here right now. Then what do you do? You need an AD in place and figure out what stakeholders are around to help pick the...

So let’s say Mario doesn’t work out. His boss and the person responsible for firing him is the person he picked to that role? That sounds like the most Miami situation possible. And why it is completely irrational. And why it will probably work out exactly like that.

Football and to a lesser degree basketball are the only sports that make money. The rest all finish in the red.

I guess my big concern is if you fire them together, then how do you coordinate the two searches? It would be great to get Cristobal but would all of the potential AD candidates want him as their choice? Would they be ok coming in without being a part of the decision making process? Cristobal...
