247 Update on Admin Changes

[DMoney]

Ruiz is about to be a billionaire 23 times over. There is no money issue at play here. The question is whether Mario will leave a great gig at Oregon to come back and rebuild Miami.

One more thing to add- I’ve heard there are connections between Ruiz and Cristobal. The Cuban world is small.

As for point #1, there's no chance Manny is staying. He might have some idiots on his side, but zero chance any worthwhile AD takes the job automatically tied to a coach. They're going to demand the ability to hire their choice.

 

[JayCane20]

I don’t know how any BOT member still advocating to keep Manny isn’t immediately kicked out of their seat… it’s absolutely laughable

They're publicly advocating for Manny to appease Manny Sr. They know their opinions don't matter in this decision so why burn a bridge?

Those that don't need or don't care for Sr and his doings are making the decisions and they're all on the same page.

He hired Willie Taggart.

Exactly. Not impressed by White at all. Chun helped stabilize that FAU program with the stadium, facilities, and hiring Lane. Then Lane bounced on White.

 

[MiamiChris]

That list of potential ADs is so uninspiring.

Miami guy who's been under the tutelage of one Kirby Hocutt? Dumb

Alabama Saudi Prince who's used to endless amounts of money and lives in a land where the law doesn't apply to him? FOH

Highsmith and Torretta? #FoldtheProgram

Gino or Zo in football position yes, as AD negative

 

[ScubaCane]

No competent AD is going to watch this team play week in and week out and think Manny is the right guy to tie myself to, he is obviously unfit for this job and is plain to see for anyone who isn't a blind loyalist.

 

[AL CANE]

The Columbus connection, you love to see it. Adelante!

 

[Da Jumbo Mutombo]

Manny is done 100%

The BOT members who like him have lost control.

Please note, certain BOT members wanted to at least keep Blake on at another role. Didnt happen, he gone.

The good BOT members are winning this battle so far.

Oh ffs, just what we need at HC, another guy with connections who will be impossible to fire

 

[JZCane0825]

The momentum is clearly in the direction of canning Manny. I don’t know how anyone can look at 7-5 and say that “let’s give him another year.” We suck in every aspect of the game. It sounds more like hedging that Manny actually having a chance of staying.

I'm sure all of the coaches that have recently been fired had internal support as well

 

[Mr. Dynasty1]

A can’t wait until the “Miami” connection thing dies. The obsession with having ties to the program is ridiculous

This is an important point. No AD is going to come in not being able to get rid of Manny. The guy who fires Manny will get immediately popularity with the fan base.

 

[305407cane]

Did not know Ruiz had that kind of dough. Wow.

 

[Cryptical Envelopment]

Lake has a good source on all this stuff. He’s been accurate.

Notable name there is John Ruiz. I’d been hinting at that when I said there is a big money name people aren’t talking about.

Now that it’s out, Ruiz is about to be hugely wealthy and has a deep interest in sports and potential ownership. His son played baseball at Miami.

No BS, I had to look him up. If the SPAC merger goes through he is going to be worth $23B. Wow.

Also Gino Torretta is a really, really bad idea. No offense to him at all. He is a great guy and is very successful. But he does not have the experience needed to run the AD. This type of nepotism is exactly what we need to avoid.

 

[B Run]

Yes, Manny has the left leaning, politically connected folks in his corner and always will for the obvious reasons. This is one step below the shenanigan's around DiMare

 

[DMoney]

Is Manny that hard to fire? He’s gone after three years. That’s about as fast as it gets absent scandal.

Thats encouraging. We got a cabal forming

 

[FL Cane]

There are varying levels of support depending on the job. However, the most important people on the BOT want Manny gone.

 

[DMoney]

Yes, it sucks to have billionaire boosters who want to steal coaches from Top 5 teams.

I miss the good old days of interviewing Randy Edsall.
