Why not just trot out Don Shula's corpse while your at it. When did the benchmark for coaches become "better than Randy Shannon/Al Golden"? Butch HAD a great eye for talent 20 years ago and unfortunately now he is an old man that nobody would touch with a 10 foot pole other than FIU who is...

Not sure how this turned into a Coastal debate. The point I have been making is we are relegated to competing for a CFP berth once every 5-10 years with the money being spent by other programs.

You keep trying to make this about the Coastal. We are in agreement there is nobody in the Coastal that spends more than us and we SHOULD win 9/10 games every year based upon our **** conference and schedule. We suck at allocating resources which is why these crap Coastal teams beat us. I'm...

The point is not paying one coach the highest amount (PS: he had the role of coach and OC) its how much is being spent on the program as a whole. We can have Rumph making $250k and ****ting the bed or we can pay Corey Raymond $750k. We can pay our S&C $350-400k and get a good product but that...

I did mean the athletic department specifically.

Calais Campbell donated a endowed scholarship recently for $1.6M. I guess that means according to your moronic assertion that the football team has >$100M+ in athletic endowments and the entire athletics department has a $4-500M endowment right? Oops, that would make no sense since the entire...

I typed balance sheet at 1am instead of income statement. My bad. As for the rest of your horse**** .... facilities expense and depreciation are an annual occurrence. Miami doesn't show its financials but here is an article that shows scholarship expense is a huge line item as well as that...

OK buddy. You clearly do not know anything about how D1 college athletic departments are run. They are autonomous businesses that effectively get zero money from the school general budget. FSU had to call on boosters to fill an ATHLETIC DEPT budget shortfall. An endowed ATHLETIC scholarship...

ND is the exception to the private univ comment and they have 2 trips (if you include this year) to the CFP out of 40 slots in the last 10 years and they are top 10 in revenues. Its all about revenues and Miami is way down the list (in the 25-35 range). If we are lucky and smart we can compete...

You got me. Notre Dame has a $13B endowment and Miami's is $1B. Notre Dame football revenue was $110M last year and Miami's was $40M. ND and Miami are very similar private universities right?

ND is basically larger than every public university if you consider the fan base as the nations Catholic university on top of having its own television deal. They also spend 2x what Miami spends. If they make it this year that will be 2x in 10 years which is about what I said was the original...

I 100% agree we have made poor choices and while we can be smarter with how spend our resources the fact remains that we have 1/2 the resources (and growing worse every year) than the big public universities. We could pay Saban $10M a year but we won't have the additional $50M++ he has for all...

Which ones?

The myth is this Miami has money garbage. The University and the Athletic Department are two separately run businesses. The University essentially does not contribute to the football program. Its the other way around. The football program pays UM 85x the cost of tuition. That is the extent of...

Actually, you don't get it clown. Alabama football had $125M in revenue and $60M in PROFIT on football last year. They have more analysts that aren't even considered coaches that have head coaching experience at P5 programs than we have interns. Miami doesn't even spend $40M on its football...

Blah blah blah. "Miami has all the money". Bull****. The difference is that Bama, LSU, Clemson, Ohio State spend 2x as much as Miami does/can spend on football and then you add in alumni bases that are 5-10x the size of Miami and its a losing battle. This isn't 1980 or 2000 any more.

You lost all credibility with your hire Botch blah blah blah. The truth of the OG post is that it's systemic from the top down but the unfortunate reality is that college football is too expensive to win at with the big boys for a private university. Best we can hope for is every five years...
