AD will have to rejuvenate a dying brand

[oracleturts]

The brand is nearly dead. Assuming that the Blake James experiment is nearly over, the empty stadium has to go. Whether they have to give away tickets to area high schools, Pop warner teams or find large employers and give them tickets. I realize we will never have our own stadium. With that being said, you can't embarrass yourself like that on national television. The games themselves are commercials for your university. The PR and advertising is just awful. Many people here have continued to hammer the point that it takes money to get money.

I applied to and was accepted to UF, UCF and USF out of high school. I attended UCF for a few semesters but still remain a fan of the U and buy merchandise from Miami. I am tired of supporting this team more than the Board of Trustees. I more ties to UF and UCF than Miami.

1. You went to UCF because it's less expensive than Miami and the quality of education is pretty much on par

2. The brand still resonates nationally

3. Good riddance

The brand is done and it doesn’t resonate, unless you’re an UDFA.
It’s just a waste town for retired yuppies!

Miami is not a dead brand. Look at the notre dame game under richt.

The brand is strong with a real coach.

 

[BentSteelCane]

The brand is on life support. The only thing changing that is a house cleaning.

 

[Boarcane]

I think we’re all on life support today. It’s not a great Day to be a Miami Hurricane

The reports of our death have been greatly exaggerated more than once.

Umm, what year was the ND game, homie??

U of Miami is south beach, an overpriced, not well maintained business that has pancaked!

You were accepted to UF and UCF and you chose UCF? So you chose to go to the #148 ranked academic institution over the #28 ranked school? You need to really examine your life choices.

Aye, some ppl can't stomach themselves to be a gaytor.
But, I see your point.

4 years ago. Miami is very much down but the brand is not dead. If it was we would not have been preaseason top 15.

Yea missed that part of the OP

I understand your point, but we were top 15 because we had a QB. But in all honesty did you really believe we had a good team? Because I sure knew our defense was garbage.

The brand…. ok brother, it’s definitely on life support and we are a good coach away from making some noise…. The question is WHEN?

I appreciate your insight.

Good post. Atta boy.

Is it in the water these past few days?

Bump.

The Athletic article on the top jobs in CFB

I wont list team captions. There were some interesting quotes. Here is how they introduced the list: "We could tell you our opinions, but we figured it might be wiser to actually ask the people who hope to someday hold these jobs. So we (Max Olson, Bruce Feldman, Ari Wasserman and Andy...

Survey from a few days ago about best jobs in cfb. They interviewed over 100 people working in athletic departments about the top jobs in cfb. Miami, despite almost 15 years of being nationally irrelevant for football, still ranks #13.

Weird that so many people would think so highly of a program with a supposedly dead brand.

Brand-scmand.

Win is the brand.

Vandy or Wake put together 2-3 seasons of solid play, they will become a new "it" school.
