His experience with college football is debatable... I think he used to break down film of girls volleyball when he was an intern for ESPN.

I think it's semantics. A super rich booster might not be on the BOT but you wouldn't want to **** him or her off either. It wouldn't be smart to make an enemy out of Diaz Sr.

Yes, but I think Diaz's rep after his Miami stint is so low that he'll have to start at the bottom rung of the HC ranks. The Saban rehab gets him a chance to be a HC again, but I don't think there is a realistic chance he gets a P5 HC job off the bat even after being laundered by Saban.

I hate seeing good people fail to achieve their goals. I've experienced failure, I know that sinking feeling you get when you've done all you can but come up short. It doesn't seem fair - we always get told that we can achieve anything we set our minds to, but life doesn't work out that way...

Not only that, but there was no push back when Richt hired his own son with zero experience to be a paid coach. Mind you- not an analyst, which would still be inappropriate, but someone who took one of the limited number of on field coaching positions. We can rail all we want about Diaz and...

Solution is actually pretty simple. Diaz just needs to bring in a professional hypnotist before every game to trick the staff and players into thinking they are coming out to play the second half.

I like the Board of Regents better. It makes them sound like royalty. Blake James is the court jester. "You there- clown! Do a little dance and sing us a song for our entertainment or the gallows await!"

I know I know. But the UFs fan's sister's best friend is dating Kiffin's agent's uncle and heard that Miami has put out feelers and Lane is listening. Totally legit

If the Gator Tears threads are to be believed, UF fans are convinced that UM has finally realized Mario is a plus sized Manny Diaz, and we are all in on the Lane Train, who is now our #1 target. I wish I could take credit for starting that rumor.

Being an AD is basically politics and glad handing. Diaz was born for that. I think he really does love the city and the program, hes just not cut out to be a football coach. I could see him as an excellent administrator though, leveraging political connections for donations and cutting deals.

Sadly that's the way cronyism works. People get shuffled from one job to another. Any accountability is just for show. I used to work at a place where all employees who were hired after 2010 were required to move to another worksite every 8 years, the idea being that it would cross pollinate...

Devils bargain hypothetical... Would you accept if Blake James was moved out of the AD job to fundraising, Diaz became AD with no football responsibilities , and Highsmith was brought in as head of football ops but didn't answer to the AD?

That would be a good way to do it. Or let the new AD fire Diaz and be everyone's new hero.

They haven't run out of oil money. Orgeron has been an elite recruiter at all his previous stops. Sure they buy recruits, but so does every other team in the conference so it's not as if he had a leg up on the competition.
