    I dont think you are correct, good sir. https://www.dallasnews.com/high-school-sports/football/2020/01/04/parish-episcopal-qb-preston-stone-commits-to-smu-gives-mustangs-highest-ranked-recruit-this-century/ "The departure of Lashlee on Friday didn’t impact Stone’s commitment at all -- and...

    Just for ****s and giggles, I'll say who I would be surprised by, but could see Lashlee convincing. We know he's talked to Garcia, David, and Milroe. So that news would not cause me to **** my drawers. Lashlee recruited Preston Stone at SMU and landed him. Got him to commit to SMU over LSU...

    I'm calling it- Lashlee has convinced Trevor Lawrence to sit out 2020 and transfer to Miami.

    Again, you are viewing Butch through a lens of nostalgia and forgetting the conversation at the time. In 95, fans were saying only a corch could take a team that played in the national championship the year prior and win 8 games. Critics were saying he wasn't ready to take over as HC and Miami...

    Depends on a lot of factors. 1. Who is available to replace him? Would I fire him for Lashlee? No. Then you are just changing for the sake of change. If Cristobal wants in? Yes. 2. Why did the season go sideways? Injuries? Or what if Miami has a top 5 defense but cant put points on...

    D almost had me thinking I was the crazy one. I wished him good health in my 1st post, I still do but it seems he caught the "Winnie the Pooh" strain of COVID that turned him into Eeyore. "Everything sucks, the U has no fanbase outside of S Fl, kids dont care about the history of the program...

    Just curious as to why you think ESPN would pay for and air THREE 30 for 30s about the Miami Hurricanes if there isnt a large national audience?

    2020 class is already done. #15 is damned impressive on a 6 win season. The 2021 rankings will be hugely different- Bama is actually behind Miami in 2021 right now. That of course wont be the case come signing day. Who are the projected drops or dudes playing games? Collins? As far as I...

    It's true, I can only distance myself from the program to a point. But the recruiting success underlines my point. Right now Miami is sitting at #11 in the 2021 recruiting rankings, coming off a 6 win season. Every single program ahead of Miami is a notorious cheater and bag dropper- every...

    There is lots of national interest when Miami is winning. It's not a coincidence that 3 of the top 12 highest rated games all-time involve the Hurricanes. Just this past year, Miami-UF gave ESPN it's highest ratings since Nov 2016, and Miami has been down for a long time (and it was ESPN's...

    You brought up a point I forgot to mention. This isn't an issue of Miami carving out a permanent absolute advantage. Eventually everyone copies a successful model- whether it's going into inner cities to recruit, the Miami 4-3, the single back offense- in time the big schools will adapt and...

    The original premise though was about the NIL giving bag schools an even greater edge over the non-bag schools. My point is that the NIL has less of an impact on the bag schools that it does for the non bag schools. To put it another way, if tomorrow Jeff Bezos earned another 10 billion...

    I don't think it really moves the needle for the bag schools. In practicality, there is a limit to the bags because it becomes increasingly difficult to hide ever larger amounts. You can hide 250k with smoke and mirrors (giving parents new jobs, drastically overpaying when they "sell" their...

    First and most importantly, I'm happy that you are feeling better. My uncle got the COVID and it was awful (he was basically given his last rights and in a coma for 4 days), so I know that it's no picnic. As for the question- I didn't hate the Shannon hire at the time. I was rooting for him...

    If thats the case, its weird that he would spurn his family by choosing UGA. Maybe by "family" he meant distant cousins, twice removed.

    Mack Brown is not a better hire. No coach in the last 40 years had so many resources and achieved so little. I think most people with common sense had a problem with Miami not interviewing anyone else, not with Diaz himself. If Richt had stepped away after 2017 and named Diaz as his choice...

    Diaz inherited a horrible offense and ST. Absolutely atrocious. No OL, no reliable WRs, injured star TE, and an immature dolt at QB. The only thing he had was decent RBs,but that doesn't do much good when the OL cant block. The defense was decent. Thats about it. No reasonable person could...

    Sure you can. Coker got a loaded team immediately won a championship and went to championship the following year. The dummies on this board would have LOVED to see Miami give a lifetime contract and lock him up until he retired. You can't really have a better 1st two years. Of course...

    Lol. You complain about lazy trash hires then whine about Miami not getting Mack Brown. If you think Mack Brown was a NFL caliber coach, I don't know what to say. Most posters here that actually understand football would have been totally fine if Blake James indicated he was evaluating 5...
