Either way those that want us to lose out on recruits are just plain wrong.
The fact is, nothing will happen until we get a new president. I honestly believe if we had hired a new president in December or even January, then we probably would have fired Golden.
Anyways, wanting us to lose out on recruits is just silly. Especially since we know it doesn't matter what the talent level is, Golden will still lose. So missing out on top guys is just going to hurt our next coach, and allow the excuse that Golden had the first 2 years "we don't have the talent and depth yet" (was bs though).
Lets all hope the New president realizes just how important football is to this school, and how much it can help the school. And Please let Golden be fired in November at the latest.
Hit the nail on the head. Just kind of hard to understand how many people don't get this...
Shalala will point to nothing in the football program as a personal accomplishment of hers once she leaves the school. She may boast that she took on the NCAA but that will be it.
If you really want to spend more time trying to band aid the issues with the program by changing coach after to coach then your on a road to no where.
If your mad as **** there was no coaching change this year, ask yourself this honestly, do you really want Shalala's administration hiring our next coach?
The number one issue with the state of Miami is that the leader's of Miami don't care about Football.
They look at football as an intramural sport that keeps the kids out of trouble and makes the school fun. Whereas every other top notch program in the country looks at football as the cash cow. Treat Miami football as a business not as some type government program and then things will change.
Don't go out and get me another 2nd tier coach (under the cloak of affordability) who shows promise, blah, blah blah... Invest in the coach as you would a CEO. Go all in and think of it as a business investment that will bring more money into the program. The growth opportunities are so large it doesn't make sense to not go after it. Throw up enough money to make Tony Dunge think about coming here. If you only hire what you say you can afford then your not looking to expand.
Stop giving me this BS about not accepting academic exceptions. You can stay under the National average and still save face. No one looks at Miami as the next Harvard so stop acting like it it.
Until Miami steps up and really goes all into the business of college football they will always be at a disadvantage. The sad part is that the school is actually losing money because if this and they simply don't care. This administration simply does not want to be a Football School.
The best news is that it is changing.
Miami has such a competitive advantage because of its location in the most football rich gold mine around that there is no reason why this program shouldn't be shooting to be the top program in the country.
When you hear a kid come back from Alabama and say that Alabama really wants to win it has nothing to do with wins and losses and it has everything to do with how Football is big business at some schools and others it just there.
Also this legend that Miami simply doesn't have the funds to invest into its football program is a joke. Miami simply doesn't want to take monies from other segments of the university and invest it into football because leadership simply doesn't support it.
This new administration doesn't even have to be football fans as much as they need to be sound business minds. Simply treat the program as an investment that your trying to maximize your return on and every program in the country would take notice because their days would be numbered.
