Administration issues overrated?

[The Franchise]

Just think about the fact that we've lost two athletic directors in the last several years. Those ADs left for Texas Tech and Nebraska. Texas Tech is a mediocre athletic program in f'n Lubbock, TX. Nebraska is a good athletic program, but you're choosing to live in Lincoln, NE.

Imagine making the decision to leave Miami, FL for either of those dreadful locations. We either don't pay our athletic department employees enough or it is epically mismanaged. More likely, it's both.

Or it's possible that the people who left just preferred to go to locations where they know there will be endless, unquestioned fan support with virtually no expectations going forward in this new world of college football. There may be some in Nebraska but I feel like firing Pellini was a prime example of taking a negative spotlight OFF the school versus trying to actually get better. In turn, Miami has championship expectations from the city and fans ...and that makes things tough, especially when the BOT doesn't seem to give a crap about that anymore. That makes for a nightmare AD job.

I think you got it backwards. Nebraska clearly demands far more from their program than UM does.

Pelini averaged 9 wins per year, and they canned him. If Folden strung two 9 win seasons together the ****** fans and feeble BOT would build a statue of that amorphous blob.

We have two problems. One, we've got the worst coach in the conference. He's bad. Everyone knows he is. There are not stats that say he is a good coach. 1-24 against teams that finish ranked. Gets outscored by over 100 in 2nd halves. Has a handful of wins against teams over .500, but a HUGE amount of losses. Golden is what he is, a .500 coach at best. His 9 win season at Miami consisted of beating up on teams that finished under .500.

The other issue is that the administration has always gone the cheap route and had some bad buyouts. A bad hire happens at any school. No one is immune to it. However, Miami is not just an unlucky school that keeps hiring bad coaches out of pure luck. Miami has had 3 bad coaches in a row because they've been cheap. Hiring Coker was the easy move and they made it. Hiring Shannon was cheap and easy, so they did it. Golden was pretty cheap and had high APR ratings, so they went after him.

The problem is that the administration is too focused on being cheap and not enough on actual proven coaches. It's ironic because in the end they keep paying buyouts as well.

Miami doesn't need facilities made out of gold. They don't need 22 practice fields, 4,000 sq ft athlete dorms, etc. to win a conference title or national title. Miami has the city going for it and the rich history as well as being in the most talent rich area of that nation. All Miami needs is a good coach. If this admin pulled their heads out of their asses and hire a proven good coach, then the program starts winning again.

The admin is the problem because they don't want to hire the best coach, they want to hire the cheapest coach and hope they get lucky. We've seen how it has worked out for them.

Gotta love how Al Golden was doing a-OK and then became the worst coach in the conference according to you after losing one game.

I let my hopes get up. You were right while I was wrong. I should have never let my hopes up again after the bowl game like I said I wouldn't. Doesn't matter now. We all know how bad Golden is and we all know he needs to be gone yesterday.

Admit it. The minute Folden returns from the backwoods of New Jersey with a commitment from 2 star LB Shecky Gladschlepper you'll be right back to hiding in the faqqoty cloak of hope.
