I spoke to a donor of UM who could care less about UM football. He said from "the lens of a businessman, Blake is a failure as a leader and AD, but it is hard for me to advocate firing Diaz because Diaz is top percentile of intelligence. He is also not stubborn like Shannon and Golden. Diaz embraces change, learns from mistakes and rectifies his errors. Am not sure that he will fail. If he wins less than 9 games during 2020, though, I will pay the buyout in its entirety because no one wants the full wrath of the citizenry on the BOT's back."
Take it for what its worth.
