Is that the one where they teach you that board members don't do anything except eat danishes and drink coffee? The one where they teach you that board members have no responsibility for the performance of their company? No, I think Yale skipped that one.

"It's a multi-layered situation" is an excuse that wouldn't fly at any real company. I understand that there are some trustees at Miami who see the job as a cushy gig where they don't have to do anything. Just donate some money, get a prestigious title, put out a tweet here and there about...

I got my MBA at Yale, bud. I've forgotten more about corporate structure than you'll learn in your entire life as a middle manager at Carnival Cruise or whatever the **** you do. The CEO typically sits on the board, in fact most boards have several inside directors in addition to the CEO. In...

That doesn't mean they're not responsible for the performance of their companies. You're responsible for the people you delegate to.

All the times? That's impossible since literally thousands of board members across America have been fired just the last two years. We can just focus on CEO's, who are fired for bad performance all the time. One example that comes immediately to mind is Dennis Muilenburg at Boeing, who was...

Howard Schnellenberger was second in command under Bear Bryant and Don Shula. Butch Davis was the DC under Jimmy Johnson. Comparing these hires to Manny Diaz is just ignorant. Both of these men won super bowls AND college national titles before taking over at Miami. And just because a BOT...

Is this a joke? Being clueless about something and ultimately being responsible for it are two different things.

They're in no position to ask for money when the product they put on the field is garbage. People want something in return. And I'll ask you the same thing I asked the other guy.... if the BOT really want to make football a priority, then why did they hire an Athletic Director with no prior...

Who gives a **** if he does or doesn't "know" a BOT member? What difference does that make? If the BOT cared about football, they wouldn't have authorized the hire of a first-time AD, and a first-time head football coach. Those are the actions of a university that doesn't give a ****. Just...

The BOT are in charge. Blaming the BOT for the Canes sucking is like blaming the board of directors at a company that sells a ****** product. It's justified, completely logical, and it comes with the job description. The buck always stops at the top.

I'm pretty sure they gave a **** when they hired Lou Saban, and I'm pretty sure they gave a **** when they hired Howard Schnellenberger. Neither hire was cheap, and both coaches were supremely qualified before they took the Miami job. Actions, not words. I swear, people put way too much stock...

I don't have to "know" any of the BOT to know what they're about. You know a man by his actions, not by his words. And I judge people on their RESULTS, not on their excuses. If our admin "cared" so much about football, then why did they hire a first-time Athletic Director AND a first-time...
