They’re doing the Lord’s work. Stock and Lake both care about UM, so does Gabby. Good for all of them.

This all coming to light is 100% a good thing. These are the cracks that break the dam holding back fundamental change. Alex Jones can have all the same info but it does no good to spill it. Sometimes you need CNN to run a lede to get national attention.

I know listening to pressers Lake has been pushing Manny on this.

His players seem to be developing so yeah. The only area Mario isn’t great at is gameday coaching. Just like Butch. He can evaluate , recruit , develop and build up the trenches.

i will happily take that + i would bet he will like Butch improve as game day HC

This is what happens when you turn 247sports down for an interview. They want a 1v1 with Blake so they can put it behind a paywall and sell subscriptions. It is common sense that some BOTs want Manny gone and some don't. I is also common sense that some have a relationship with his dad. These are always the case and won't have anything to do with Manny keep his job or not. Some BOTs don't care about football so their opinions and relationships won't outweigh the ones that do.

read the article. Adidas contract itself is a fireable offense as well as decision on CMD.
biggest issue that will lead to Blake being fired or reaasigned will be the stunt he pulled last week with CMD.
how can any HC candidate trust Blake James period. he's a bureaucrat pure and simple incapable of dynamic thought or action
Article also crushed Frenke as well poor fund raiser and decline in academic standing.....
why have a president in todays arena who does not understand importance of athletics to school......

Or at the least the importance of school to school

I’ve mentioned it several times I don’t how in **** that many people on a BOT can come to any kind of consensus let alone make decisions. The only hope is that the members that have enough clout and care about the football program can influence enough other members that change/s need to happen ASAP.

"One more interesting note on Blake James: Back in 2017, Louisville signed a deal with Adidas that was good for ten years and worth $160 million. At that time, Miami’s contract with Adidas had a clause that UM must be “the most highly compensated Adidas university both in ACC and the state of Florida, as measured solely by the annual average contract year of all ‘guaranteed compensation.’” That Louisville deal was worth more annually than Miami’s 12-year deal, which was signed back in 2015. James did not know that clause was in Miami’s agreement with Adidas until somebody outside of the program with knowledge of the deal informed him. James quickly reached out to Adidas, who bumped Miami’s annual pay."


This program deserves to burn. Run by bums.

This could be completely made up, and I'd believe it without a second though.

Miami was ready to move on from Frenk as the president because the law school’s bar passage rate and academic ranking has dropped to a number that is embarrassing to the board of trustees. UM’s ranking in the US News & World Report has also slipped under Frenk’s leadership and the board of trustees is not happy about that. In 2012, UM peaked in the rankings at 38 while UF came in at 58 and FSU at 101. Today, UF is the state’s highest ranked school at 28, while UM and FSU are tied at 55, a trend that has hurt the school’s academic reputation. Frenk’s contract was not going to be renewed, but then the COVID-19 pandemic hit and the university decided to extend Frenk because he is an expert in public health. UM Health has brought in a lot of money to the school in recent years, but Frenk is viewed as being on thin ice with the board of trustees.


- Regardless of who advised James to go on a clandestine media tour the day before a big game for a coach that he hired within 12 hours of the job opening up, it is a stunt that has not gone over well in the coaching community. The belief is that you will not find many established coaches that will trust James enough to want to work with him.

- James is also not respected in the coaching industry because he is viewed as an athletic director that does not fulfill paying coaches their contracts when they no longer work at Miami (this happened to Al Golden and has happened to assistant coaches). If coaches want their money from UM, they will have to sue the university and get tied up in legal fees.

- Is the money there for Miami to hire Cristobal? The belief is that Miami has the available money for staffing (Cristobal’s salary along with coaching staff pool / support staff pool). Internally, this is a strike against the current Manny Diaz regime. The university has funded Diaz with whatever he has asked for with staffing (most recently matching what Florida was going to pay Travaris Robinson) but the results on the field have not been delivered.

- The sticking point with the money to hire Cristobal is, of course, the buyout that is in the $9 million range. Cristobal has plenty of friends in South Florida that want to see him come home and lead the UM program. Cristobal attended Columbus High School with Jose Mas, who is the CEO of MasTec and a big supporter of the UM basketball program. Marcus Lemonis, the CEO of Camping World, is another Columbus grad that respects Cristobal. Miami does not like to pay for coaching buyouts with booster money, but in the case of Cristobal, there are donors willing to step up.

- It should be noted that Cristobal was interested in the Miami job back when the position opened up when Mark Richt resigned. He was told “things were moving quickly” when he reached out to get a sense on where the search was going. Diaz was hired within 12 hours of the job opening up.

- It should be noted that there are members on the board of trustees that still believe Manny Diaz can fix the football program. There are also members on the board of trustees that have strong relationships with Manny Diaz Sr.,

M must be “the most highly compensated Adidas university both in ACC and the state of Florida, as measured solely by the annual average contract year of all ‘guaranteed compensation.’” That Louisville deal was worth more annually than Miami’s 12-year deal, which was signed back in 2015. James did not know that clause was in Miami’s agreement with Adidas until somebody outside of the program with knowledge of the deal informed him.

What about Mahomes ? He didn’t look anything like the KC version in college. Just raw talent , and he was coached by a current nfl hc.

Oh agree to disagree there.

I was desperate for the Panthers to draft Mahomes that year (we picked up McCaffrey instead).

Yes he had unbelievable raw talent, but also clearly had a mastery of his offence. I've never been so impressed with a College QB.

I guess I am back to rooting for loses - I will always have the NC State Game. Fvvvvkkkkkkk!!! Go Pitt!!

Been trying to tell everyone, you can't want Manny gone and at same time root for wins. Its unfortunate, but those are two incompatible desires. Too many people getting greased on that board, even the ones that want him gone. There has to be no doubt that Manny is not the guy to lead the team for it to be safe for those BOT members to "cross" Papa Diaz.
