From the renderings, it looked like the same spot.
In the rendering of the new weight room, the massive glass wall was facing the practice field.

They said some of it will be starting very soon. Maybe they have a way of adding/subtracting stuff from the Hecht.

While renderings might be subject to change, can you tell us if the glass wall/practice field was inside or outside?

If it is "inside", then I would imagine a teardown/rebuilt of the original Hecht building, as it was not exactly new in the 1980s.

If it is "outside" practice fields, then there are a couple of choices. One would be to move the Cobb track to the north side of campus, along Granada. Another would be to put it where the Stanford Residential College lobby/dining hall currently are, as the Towers will soon be demolished, in which case those "fields" would be the IM fields.

I have long argued that UM should have been buying up the houses between Mataro and Miller.

4. Feld is a certified lunatic. When we arrived to the event, he had a group of players in the weight room lifting so we got to watch him in action. When we spoke in front of the crowd, he was the only one who declined to use a microphone. Dude would rather shout. He talked about neck strength, which was interesting, and placing an emphasis on core. Doesn't care to have a roster full of guys who can squat 600lbs but can't play ball and/or stay healthy or be explosive/flexible. One of the players I spoke to likes Feld much better than the last guy. He said the last guy was all about "punishing" players, and just working them, instead of being more focused on actual goals. (not verbatim, but that was the gist) He just said that Feld is more detailed. Words used to describe him were "lit" and "beast".

Feld's resume lists that he moonlights as a motivational speaker. I remember noting that in the official hiring thread. That was something that stood out to me. It's of no surprise to me that he was able to make an impression on a large audience without a mic.

Fellated?
No. I know WTF fellation is like. I see it every night from your girl.

I TOLD THE STORY, gave some props, etc. But that's where it stopped. I also came on here and told yall how arrogant he was a year or so later.

Dude, you orally fellate every coach we hire. This is your MO. These are your exact words - look familiar?

So I'm at the Nike coaching clinic in Orlando tonight. (notice I said Nike)

Willie Taggart is here with his whole FSU staff. After Willie gives his clinic, the whole FSU staff does "break out sessions" where all of the position coaches go into separate rooms and give their own short clinics.

So Manny Diaz and staff show up right before the breakout session in all of their Adidas gear and start throwing a full-on frat party (in a separate room) handing out free beers to all High School coaches...DURING FSU's BREAK OUT SESSION!! lol

So instead of the high school guys attending the FSU breakout sessions, they were all heading towards the Miami Hurricanes party. (Hello, free beer!)
Manny was tossing beers around to coaches, taking pictures, choppin' it up with the high school guys, etc.

Everybody was like "this is an epic, gangster *** stunt." LOL

Manny's response...
"This is what we're trying to bring back to The U, that F-U type of swagger."

They're leaving tomorrow morning. They came all this way just to crash FSU's clinic. LOL
What an epic move. And let me tell you something, he has this place buzzing right now. High School guys from all over the state are at this clinic and they're talking about Miami's stunt tonight.



OTHER TIDBITS FROM TONIGHT:

*Miami just offered Justin Hodges of Western High, a 6'2" Corner who's in the Blades family.

*The Mandarin QB really really likes Miami. He's not as much of a UF lean that people think he is. That's directly from a Mandarin High coach who's here.

*When talking about Miami, Manny basically said... the last two regimes were on something different. Golden was trying to make it Penn State and Richt was trying to make it Georgia. Manny just wants to let Miami be Miami. He wants dawgs and he wants Miami kids to "be Miami kids."

*This is how real Manny is...
My buddy is the HC at Western High. When Western upset Atlantic this year in the playoffs, Manny Diaz texted my buddy right after the game to congratulate him. My buddy didn't have a single player on his team with a Miami offer, and Manny still reached out to him. That's unheard of. Most college coaches don't even pay attention to you unless you have a player of their caliber. Manny is a visionary and extremely forward-thinking. In the event that my buddy does have a kid who is Miami caliber, you can bet your *** that my buddy wouldn't hesitate to send his kid to Manny/Miami. Manny clearly knows how important it is to establish relationships with the local high school coaches.

Why bro? Just curious as to what your motive is here? Lol. Just enjoy what he wrote and move on.
 
Awesome post. Thank you @Coach Macho

And not to change subjects, but this is why Mario was a better hire than Lane. I don't believe that Lane would have been interested in this side of the equation, which effectively will push us to build a foundation for years to come even after Mario. Like, even whenever Saban hangs it up, Bama still has the operations and infrastructure to continue to win big. I hope that Mario and the admin follow through on all this and build the groundwork for continued success into the next decade.

Went to the elite camp Saturday.
First and foremost...
Completely different energy around the program right now.

Some notes...

1. Elite prospects all over. I think we all knew that, but to see all these kids in person is a different ballgame. First thing Miami did after having kids/family sign in, is measure every prospects's height and weight. You had to do that before you even entered the building. I made the coaches do me, and after measuring in at 6'2" 307lbs they asked if I had any eligibility left to add to the DT depth. So if you guys see an unknown walk-on on the roster this spring, or a player on the sideline eating lemon pepper wings between possessions, you'll know who it is. I'm trying my best to get jersey #69.

2. We are no longer fvckin' around. There will be no more excuses. There is full investment and we are finally trying to play with the big boys. Mario revealed the plans for a completely new football building/facility. Mario requested no pics/videos so we weren't able to get shots of it...but it's serious. Bama level facilities. He said the building will likely be 4/5 stories high. THE BEST OF THE BEST. No stone unturned. Massive weight room with 20 built-in platforms and the entire wall will be made of glass, with a full view of the practice field. A ridiculous student lounge with the latest technology and videos games. A cafe that seats 150 people. The list goes on and on. It's simply much easier to just describe it as BEST OF THE BEST. Nobody will have the facility advantage on us anymore, including Bama.

3. I was told by Salavea and Stroud that we will be running a 4-front. It'll be a 4-2-5 structure. We we not be basing out of an Odd front, so we can throw those speculations out of the window. It's still possible that we could get Dorlus from Oregon. He will play mainly DE here. Salavea is not allowed to communicate with him any longer, so the ball is in Dorlus' court. We'd all love to see him come home, but Oregon is negative recruiting Miami and talking about how we don't even have a DC yet. I know Dorlus is tired of playing inside (DT) so much, but he kinda had to at Oregon. What he might fail to understand is, if he stays at Oregon he'll continue to play inside. Lanning is a 3-4 guy. At Miami he'll play outside. Salavea is pumped about the young talent at DT here, and really NEEDS Dorlus at DE. Let's hope the kid comes home. Salavea said he's an early round draft pick.

4. ENERGY, ENERGY, ENERGY! Everybody Mario has brought so far has big energy. Salavea gets pumped the **** up when he speaks about ball, very animated. Can't say whether he's better or worse than Simpson, but he's DIFFERENT. Simpson doesn't give you the feeling that he would ring your neck or that he could still suit up if he had to. Salavea, on the other hand, might walk into a kid's living room and scare him into signing with Miami.
Feld is a certified lunatic. When we arrived to the event, he had a group of players in the weight room lifting so we got to watch him in action. When we spoke in front of the crowd, he was the only one who declined to use a microphone. Dude would rather shout. He talked about neck strength, which was interesting, and placing an emphasis on core. Doesn't care to have a roster full of guys who can squat 600lbs but can't play ball and/or stay healthy or be explosive/flexible.

(not verbatim, but that was the gist) He just said that Feld is more detailed. Words used to describe him were "lit" and "beast".

5. You can see how/why Mario's staff recruits well. Mirabal, Mario and Salavea are all very personable, humble and people oriented. None of that pompous/nerd energy that Manny and some of the former guys oozed from their skin. We literally had a discussion at the event about this issue. (a few HS guys and I) Mario gives off a much more genuine and personable energy. Even one of the position coaches kinda eluded to this. He also said that under Manny we were "figuring stuff out", like on the fly. Mario is like 'boom, boom, boom' this is WTF is going on. This is what happens when you hire an experienced/qualified guy.

6. THERE ARE NO MORE EXCUSES!!! Whatever resource Miami doesn't have, it's coming. We've got big-time people backing Mario. We've got money. We will soon have EVERYTHING the big dawg programs have. All the same toys. We also have a local 7-on-7 team full of elite talent that is funded/sponsored by Ruiz. That's a massive resource that many programs do not have. It's about to get A LOT harder for other schools to come down here and snatch our kids. AND IT'S ABOUT TO BECOME IMPOSSIBLE TO NEGATIVE-RECRUIT AGAINST MIAMI. They won't be able to point at our lack of resources, point at our facilities, point at our staff, etc. Plus we're fvckin' located in a world renowned city.

IF MARIO CAN'T DO THIS, PACK UP THE PROGRAM!!!
Because we're about to have everything we need. If the play-calling/coaching is halfway decent WE BACK.

as a former student from a few years ago, I know the players were already eating different than the students. All the athletes were.

Yeah, this has been the fakest issue to ever hit the boards over the past 25 years.

UM scholarship athletes have always been given a 20-meal plan and certain teams have always had access to a "Training Table" cafeteria. Back in the 80s/90s, it was a little-known cafeteria behind the Ibis/Hurricane cafeterias. I actually got to eat there a couple of times ("hey, this is my tutor, we just came from tutoring"). Trust me, the food was nothing revolutionary, it was just more protein-heavy (and not as much pasta), and guys like Warren Sapp could basically get a whole chicken on one plate if they wanted to, as opposed to the withering stares from the ladies working in the other cafeterias if you tried to ask for extras.

Players have always had access to better/different/more food. Sometimes the players who live off-campus don't go on-campus for all 20 meals. And players could always use their Cane Cards to go to other cafeterias, it wasn't required to eat at the Training Table. Also, outside of the regular season, there wasn't always the same diligence year-round to get guys to eat at the Training Table.

No matter what anyone thinks of the system, the storyline of "athletes only get 1 meal a day at McDonald's" is, and always has been, a myth.

Now, if we want to move to a system where the nutritionist is involved in every meal, where athletes are required to eat the special meals 7 days per week, and where there are all kinds of supplemental meals, shakes, snacks, etc., then that is fine too. I have no problems with modernizing and improving, but to act as if this issue was completely neglected for the past 35 years is a joke.

Lmao at those who thought we were running a 3 man front

It's bizarre. The coaches want to be multiple. The recruits want to play in a base 4-man front. But a few dozen CIS porsters have fetishized the 3-4 and turned it into the elusive Holy Grail of College Football.
