According to sources: Mario Cristobal will be the next Head Coach at Miami

No, Miami did a pretty good job of making Miami look like a **** show. Perception is reality. They could have fired Manny weeks ago and avoided all of this speculation. They could have hired Jurich and Lane. This is all their own doing.
Really pretty simple. All this chess not checker and calling out media members for tweeting wrong info doesn't matter. The story is Miami is ****ing over their current/former coach and still looking for an AD. And that will continue. So instead of this being about Miami finally acting like a power in college football it will be about the mishandling of this situation. We're one Cristobal changing of his mind away from being Tennessee during the Schiano/Pruitt nonsense.

Maybe Manny cancelled because Mario will be flying down to CA on his way to MIA?

A few thoughts for perspective (based on experience, not insider info):
1) The contract is likely min of $40M ($8m X 5 yrs), plus buyouts and incentives, commitments of resources, staff, decision making autonomy, etc. yet serious negotiations began only yesterday. They are moving at breakneck speed if it's done before Monday.
2) The Manny situation may be about a plan B, but it's also certainly about his buyout. I'm sure the admin would negotiate a release if Diaz will walk away from some or all of his severance, but unlike Mark Richt, Manny wants to get paid. It's logical to leave him in place until the ink dries on Mario.
3) The AD situation seems muddied by timing and authority of decision making on Mario. Not surprising the lead AD candidate would want to know who the head coach is before committing, if it's clear the BOD will make that determination, not him. I suspect the "football czar" is another complexity that slows progress. I wouldn't expect anyone good to take the position until those key positions and his ability to change them, are determined.
 


Barry and Dellenger doing one of the biggest circle jerks ever seen in the lazy media that covers the canes.

They’re literally quoting each other, and using each other as sources. It’s fūcking brilliant, you don’t have to have any real sources, you just keep quoting other. You can stay home and watch the dolphins, eating chips and salsa.

Next level sports journalism right there.
