You are WRONG. The average head coach, 1998: $417,000 The Division I-A Athletic Director’s Association found that average total packages included a $165,340 average base. In 1999, Oklahoma pried Bob Stoops away from Spurrier’s staff. Midway through OU’s title-winning 2000, OU doubled his...

Yes, but this is most of our problem. At least 40 clueless BOT members think "8-2 is better than 6-7, so no need to put 'head football coach' on the BOT agenda for another year".

Thank you, dear lord Jesus.

I can't disagree with anything you just said.

It doesn't matter, ssvir is still a bullsh!te-porsting idiot and still wrong. "Balance sheet" was a typo. Good lord...

I get it. You want to continue to repeat the oversimplification phrases. "The BOT doesn't care". "Shalala killed UM football". "Shalala destroyed the OB". To fight oversimplification, you have to use a lot of words, get specific, address lots of issues, and know all the facts and...

Oh, I don't discount it. I'm well aware of it. "Emeritus" members of the BOT should be limited to the immediate past Chair of the BOT, the immediate past Alumni Association president, and the immediate past president of the Faculty Senate. That eliminates about 25 useless seat-fillers. And...

You're full of crap. I knew you were going to claim "balance sheet" was a "typo". But you had to double down and claim "depreciation" is an actual expense, as if we are spending money on it. Once again, the annual REVENUE does not pay for the facilities, CAPITAL FUND-RAISING does. Thus, the...

I think you misunderstand the point of the smaller group for oversight. Yes, the AD needs autonomy. But you will NEVER sell that to the UM BOT without oversight. You need a second "buffer" group that will be the "institutional control", but will also take bothersome "athletic issues" off of...

Yeah, Epstein has the background, in past years as a BOT member, which might possibly be a pro or a con. But, yes, he has the QUALIFICATIONS, I should have put him on the list. I do not know him as well. I know Johnny (USBG) and Jose (IFC) very well, was friends with them at UM. I know Marc...

You are wrong. You are. People like you constantly repeat the myth of "they don't care". And they do care. Maybe not as much as we do, or the same way that we do, but they care. I've laid out the issues previously. They are simple. Yes, the members of the BOT are "successful". But just...

Fifty people on the "regular" BOT. IN ADDITION TO THAT, there are ANOTHER 26 people who are "Emeritus" BOT members. People on the BOT who have the knowledge, bandwidth, and/or interest to focus on Athletics: Marc Buoniconti Chuck Cobb Paul DiMare Marcus Lemonis Jose Mas (1980s-90s, baby!)...

I have NOT heard anything about him being renewed. I can understand going "month-to-month" like a bad lease, but I can't see the people at UM giving him an extra 5 years simply because of Covid. But remember, we have a bunch of not-so-bright fans who like to "give props" to Dr. Frenk simply...

All true. We may not have "as much" money as the SEC, but we have enough to pay the coaches and staff. And the Board of Trustees does not "want Miami to be mediocre", they just don't know how to get a cutthroat AD to rebuild the program. We got lucky with Sam and we were adequate with Paul...

I have no problems when people have complaints or issues. I don't mind if they make their points articulately and passionately. I can't stand it when people just make ****e up and lie in such obvious and ridiculous fashion.

You are a buffoon. Allow me to quote you: "In fact, the athletic department's 2nd or 3rd largest annual expense on its balance sheet behind salaries for coaches and administration and possibly facilities is for paying the University the tution/fees/room & board for the scholarship athletes."...

This post is proof that you don't know what you are talking about. You can't even keep "the Athletic Department" and "the football program" separate, though plenty of know-nothings have that same problem. And you have no clue about endowed scholarships.

From people that would know both at UM and other programs: The entire football program is a mess, starting with the administration, BOT, AD, Football ops, coaching staff and players, other than that we are in good shape. Since Butch Davis left UM, the program has been in a decline and just when...
