Not sure if everyone’s info is just bad ( including things I’ve been told) but I’m hearing another name other than the names mentioned by on the Twitter. Not sure what to say about it either.

I’m not saying it’s not Jurich or it is. I‘ve just heard a lot of Bs. Which makes me hesitant to believe anything. It’s almost like the bad info is being leaked on purpose. I’ve heard three names in the last twelve hours and thats from people who’s normally very connected. All three typically have the same info on stuff like this.

As of yesterday it was Jurich with Zo and that’s why I put “ TNM“ post. If I hadn’t did that I wouldn’t of even posted the last few posts in this thread. There’s a reason I stayed away from names.

Sounds like Jurich is getting ahead of the game and conducting a mole hunt.

Baller.

Why after the season it didn’t stop LSU, USC or Florida who fired Mullen with only 1 game remaining?

How would it help us to fire Manny before Duke? Manny isn't a bad coach. We just need a lot better. And he's not a bad person at all. He cares. No one wanted to win more here than he did. He's improved the program and roster, and tried as hard as he could, in an AD environment that basically failed him, the program and the fanbase (thus the need for the capital infusion and new leadership). He put his all into it, there is no reason to embarrass him further on the way out. We just fired our AD. We are about to hire a new one. The entire coaching industry and CFB world knows we are in a search for a new coach. Everyone gets it. Firing Manny before next week helps us in no way.

We also want to bridge his regime and the next with as small a gap as possible so that our rivals aren't poaching our best young players during a leadership vacuum. And we also have the unsubstantiated rumor that we save a couple of million on his buyout by waiting a week.

In fact (and this is the nuclear option so chill), this gives us the ability to keep him for another year in case god forbid we can't get a top guy to come. What if Mario, Kiffin, and our other top 5 targets won't come? Do you really want to hire our 6th or 7th best choice with a new 5-year $20M+ contract? Or would you rather bring in a top AD, show the CFB world that we are serious about putting hundreds of millions into the program over the next decade, announce a couple of capital projects, and THEN go out into the marketplace with more strength and then make a long-term commitment to the RIGHT coach who we believe can get us where we need to be?

Again, that is the nuclear 2% last resort option, so everyone relax before you punch a hole in your keyboard, but why take it off the table when there is zero upside to doing so? And why burn a bridge badly with a smart guy from a prominent Miami family that is connected to a lot of the people you ask for money every day?

Game it out, fellas. Don't be so reactionary. Be thoughtful.

Anyone who thinks there isn't room for a strong AD, Zo, and a top coach needs to take a knee. It's all about defined roles. Top execs WANT strong, capable leaders under them.

Excited to chat with you about this. Agreed defined roles is the key even though this is obviously all still hypothetical, still fun to debate.

My question is what are the defined roles? From my perspective, Zo seems to be looking for a hands on role and to operate as a sort of GM of the football program. Yes there are tons of associate AD roles where the individual provides support for specific programs. However, these are mostly hands off type roles and purely administrative.

So if in fact Zo takes on a GM type of role and has decision making power then I find it hard to believe someone like Lane or Mario would come here for that. Coaches in demand have the leverage, not the other way around. They pick their staff, their philosophy, and are fully in charge. So let’s say LSU also offers Lane…you think he’s going to choose us over them knowing he will need to have approval from his GM to do certain things?

The only reason you give the AD job to someone like Hernandez is that he's the only one who would let Highsmith run the show with the football operations.

I always thought that someone like Jurich/Rad/Rhoades/White etc. would want to be the MAN for every sport.

Maybe I'm reaching here because I don't think we are at this stage yet, but what about Mario saying "Yeah, I'm coming but I want Zo as AD for football" and the only way to have that is to hire an underwhelming name as AD like Hernandez? If they want Mario and Mario only, you know the answer.

Just for the record: I would have hired a competent AD and let him decide the next HC, Mario or not.

Mario isn't good enough to demand all that. I'm definitely not saying you're wrong....sounds like something Miami would do. They'd just be idiots to cave to him.

I want to see the contract language where it’s cheaper to fire Lispy at the end of the year vs as opposed to say after the FSU game. I doubt there is much of a difference but who knows Blake negotiated it so anything is possible.
