Barry Jackson on turmoil at Miami

Here’s the best way to understand the situation:

Blake is like a guy with no medical degree who passed himself off as a surgeon and finally gets caught, with a patient on the OR table mid-operation. Incidentally, authorities also found 17 buried carcasses in his back yard, which says he doesn’t know about.

The hospital ceo (frenk) says ’I’m not a surgeon either, so not my problem to solve. The hospital board hears about the situation. They call James in and he pleads to finish the operation because he has a new scalpel and he’s really confident in its cutting ability.

Half the board wants to hire a real surgeon to finish the operation, but James wants that surgeon to report to him. The other half of the board just doesn’t care.

How will it end?

With Manuela orally conducting a proctology exam.
 
If you were James and you genuinely cared about the U, would you resign?

He's shrewd and survived this long but needs to be smart and facilitate this process. He's the frontman and administrator in the department and nobody wants to take that away from him. Let Zo control football and do what he does best, get more support from the board for the best coaches, and help Manny to make changes necessary to get the program back on track. This ****ing contest and "civil war" they're describing won't serve him well.

I for one am glad the laundry is being hung out on message boards, social media and traditional outlets like the Herald and Sentinel. If problems aren't exposed, they don't get fixed. It's like kids never reporting that they're being bullied.
Sunlight is said to be the best of disinfectants.
