Barry Jackson -update on the UM/Diaz situation later today.

So several trustees in the article are quoted to say that UM couldn’t afford to hire Mario (plus his buyout) and pay Manny’s buyout. Who’s lying? The trustees to Barry or CIS posters here?

Well, I think Alonzo is doing some serious lobbying, thats for sure.

I will say though that the money situation is very apparent; people yesterday saying things to the extent of 'oh Carol Soffer will just buy out Mario' and I said ok sure yeah, there isn't a donor in this program who would pony up 10s of millions of dollars on this failed experiment. We are all ******* crazy for loving UM, but most millionaires are not idiots. I mean what do you think the rock donated for his locker room? 3-400k? And you guys want 10m from some angel investor? Might as well hit up a VC firm and raise a round, selling your souls as IP.

The rugby tackling **** has been an issue, I know he got it from the pros but this team, and most college players lack discipline so it makes sense its not working. Manny expected a player-led team this year... the players aint leading, well at least not most of them.

I guess that ipf paid for itself? There was far bigger donations than 300-400 k lol. Also theres boosters that have way more than millions.

Did you ever think they’re trying to whiff the flames so that Oregon doesn’t offer another extension for him to say? I’m guessing you’re not good at poker.
 
What’s the update ? It’s Tuesday lol. There’s nothing to update other than important people are ****ed, players are unhappy , transfers could happen , King is hurt , and MD is on the hot seat. Oh and Mario Blah , blah , blah.
Barry’s a square what’s new
 
I feel bad for anyone who takes a Barry Jackson article seriously. He is the personification of why South Florida sports journalism is the worst market in the country. He is a slimy hack who has been trolling Canesport and CIS for years mining for nuggets and then passing it off as insider information. Trust the insiders on this site. He hasn't broken a single bit of news in 20+ years.

@Cribby has Manny lost the locker room? Are players giving up on him? What's the general sentiment from the players?
There guys who will 100% leave if he’s back , there’s also guys that’s already checked out , they know they’re a laughing stock. So yeah , I’d say there’s a portion that’s done. Going forward I could see them quitting if they get punched in the mouth.

I kind of had that thought as well. What do we love to say around here? Chess not Checkers....

That entire article is bull****. Yes they like Blake but are sick of the losing in every sport, he is most likely gone in the next 6 months. Manny’s buyout is one of the smallest in the power 5, my friend said he could pay it off himself. The new hire is going to be a big name and cost a lot. Probably won’t come until after the season unless manny ***** the bed again. Barry has no sauces.
