It's not like Butch was the architect of the greatest team of all time.
Oh, wait. He was. If a kid is looking to play college ball, he'll know who Butch Davis is.
The banners should be flying but for a different reason.
The biggest problem at the University of Miami right now is Blake James.
We could not have a more [not the]incompetent[ real issue] weak athletic director right now. We are in serious trouble right now with that putz running the ship with full autonomy.
Texas flew banners to fire their AD....not Charlie Strong. It worked.
Dude...please do a Blake James banner.
He is the problem....not Golden.
While I agree that the banner should now
evolve with James Blake a new target, it is for a different reason and furthermore he also shall not be targeted alone.
The UM BOT names
[and UM Admin (dag, Shalala is gone) forget Admin for now], that is last names, shall be on the banner as well. After all, haven't they been the real decisions-makers in our last 3 previous coaching hires? The banner can
not avoid to put them on blast! This is particularly so since they are the real perpetrators of UM's decline for much of this millennium.
The issue with James Blake is not just that he may be incompetent, it is that he was never hired/promoted to be an actual AD with real
decision making powers. He was hired as AD solely to be to be an AD's PR mouthpiece
-- this role is sometimes served by an Asst AD -- and in order that the UM BOT & UM Admin
not hire an actual outside Director of Athletics. I wouldn't target Blake if UM would retain Blake
and hire Butch Davis. Indeed, not only did Butch amass the best players and subsequently the best Football team on the collegiate planet, he was also the architect of forming the
best coaches at any one time on a Football team. But since these inept decision-makers likely are considering more coaches than Butch, then we would need a real Athletic Director with real experience to select the next coach. With selecting Butch as the next Head Coach for UM a
totally uncertain development, it is absolutely not worth it to avoid targeting James Blake. Target James!
The new prospective AD must have the knowledge to recognize that we will need to hire a great coach that is experienced in winning big Football games, and experienced in overcoming big moments in the biggest stages of college Football, and or in the stages of the NFL. Once any AD recognizes that we
can't afford to take more chances with the up and comers and or with the
program builder type of coaches, the AD has got to have the
experience to know where to call and the people who consist of the coaches that can take our UM players to the next level: Championship Coaching*
*Championship Coaching: I say Championship Coaching because I feel the athletes we have here for next year already form a nucleus for a Championship run, including Kaaya [particularly once Brad masters throwing on the run when flushed out of the pocket or if we're lucky to develop or get him All-world OLs that can give Brad all the time he needs to not be flushed out of his comfort zone], along with those S. Fla athletes that are bound to come here. Altogether, they will already be Championship caliber athletes that can win it all with Championship-caliber Coaching. A caliber of coaching that Butch Davis can easily amass, as can clearly be seen with his coaching tree. Or, the new real AD can convince UM honchos to spend the big bucks [good luck with that] to go out and get UM such coaching hire.
