I said this earlier this morning, long before this video, but I believe Nunez. And this is no knock against Cribby or anyone, but I believe Nunez, because I’ve been in his shoes before (not as an AD, but withdrawing from a much bigger job that had a disfuncional culture when I was leading candidate).
I think he was dead honest when it leaked that he pulled out due to lack of leadership and chaos at Miami. Before he was at New Mexico State, he was an assistant AD at LSU so ge knows what the infrastructure should look like. And if you’re happy where you are why risk that for a culture that’s seemingly behind the 8 ball? And you can see it clearly because there is no clear communication strategy. Lewis everywhere, and now Miami has allowed local and National media to hijack the narrative. Makes no sense!
He’s an up an coming AD and he’d be putting his career on the line by risking all and going to a dysfunctional organization. This guy will have plenty of AD opportunities in the next few years.
Big risk going somewhere that can stain and stunt your career.
Im just a random dude on a message board - no insider - but if I were in his shoes, and based on what I’ve seen from this program and admin the last 20 years, it’s what I’d do. I’d back out too without any real iron clad assurances
