ToC, I'm assuming Diaz' dad played a role here too, no? Either way, whoever it was, they lost. Now the question is are they back on board with the new paradigm? Or is Frenk going to have to deal with a governance body that is dysfunctional?

Makes sense. A major reason I believe Manny struggles as a coordinator is because he never played football at a high level. Similarly, I would want anyone running my football operation to have intimate experience with playing the game at a high level.

Again, I ask, All Sport AD or running our football operation? Definitely he's an up-and-comer at football. But even there he's not proven. I'd still take him because he's a bad-***, has high energy, gets Miami, gets college football, et al. Lots of intangibles, I like him a lot ... for football.

The best CEOs at Fortune 500 and high-growth companies are ballers in the game of business. We need a baller. Because this is big business now.

LOL, Dude and I have been trading posts for 15 years now, so I'm used to his preaching ways. But I agree with you that Zo has a lot of talent and IS qualified to run our football program. I wouldn't be disappointed at all in that case. I just want a proven AD to run the overall operation.

If it's a guy grooming his replacement it could work. They'd need to have a superb working relationship to be sure.

@Cribby , I have no issue with Alonzono per se. I just think the better play is hire him to run football and hire a proven AD to run everything else, then he can grow into the role. How about combine Dude's recommendation on Jurich or Long PLUS Zo, who gets groomed into the larger role after he...

This. I don’t know who is the right AD. But just as we’re trying to find the right head coach from the ranks of HCs that are PROVEN winning HCs, we need a PROVEN AD. The other factor for me is the guy can’t be nearing retirement age. Needs to be high energy. No more guess work at either position.

All sports AD is a big step up. Miami just wasted 5+ years with a guy not ready for all that responsibility. No matter how much I like Highsmth’s attitude and promise, I think it’s risky to do it again. Football AD makes more sense to me. But of course that adds to cost and org complexity if you...

Anyone know if he is being considered for a true AD role across sports, or just football?

Please, Lord, let this be true. Please Zo, lead us to the promised land.
