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

Well first the guy I responded too is a troll, number two there’s multiple boosters who would make this happen and one would’ve made it happen three years ago. Also they have a alot more money than millions.

Regardless if it’s a ipf or a coach you’re giving money to the football program and you won’t be getting it back lol. It’s a donation and that helps with other things lol.
Appreciate the response. I guess the Soffer’s have probably seen some significant gains since Manny was hired considering how real estate has boomed over the last 2 years.

I’m aware how of how loaded they are so hopefully they continue to throw their weight around.

I'm just waiting for this central Connecticut nail biter this weekend (that I won't watch) and see the pretzels this administration bends themselves in as they try to justify Manny and Blake still being employed here
 
As we see today, where does he get 9?

Ok..App State... 8

Con...7

Duke (maybe)... 6


So where do our Canes find 6 Ws??
Good sir, for the record I don’t think he wins six games and I also believe that Miami as an institution has a self-loathing problem when it comes to the football program. I think that cultural divide from the presidents office has been around for quite a while. Almost like it’s embarrassed that the school is known for football. @Cribby what say you? @TheOriginalCane ?

The update is that most of the BOT loves Blake James and that he’s not in jeopardy. Manny isn’t in jeopardy until end of season if anything. And Frenk does not care at all about football and likes Blake. Hopefully this is not as horrible as it sounds.
It probably is. I would not be surprised at all if manny is still here next year. Seem like it takes an extra year to do what everyone knows needs to be done.
 
The quote about UM not being able to fundraise big $$$ in support of the football program is wrong… they raised $40 million (including a $14 million lead gift) to build the Indoor Practice Facility.
For context, that took what 2 years or so to raise?

Longhorn Foundation has raised, going back 30 years, no less than $35MM annually, not counting all their other sources of revenue.

Miami's IPF is budget dust to a program like that.

Going back last 10, no less than $48MM.

You’ve brought it up 3 times today to bait a response.
💁🏻‍♂️


Some people may think that all posters react in the same way, but we don't. I don't bait.

I also should not be prohibited from calling out a ridiculously wrong post just because that person historically chooses to attack me.

It is the height of irony for a poster to threaten to hold people accountable for posts that may not come to pass, while refusing to admit he was wrong about his false Marcus Lemonis claim.

Only The Fonz can go through life without admitting he was w-w-w-w-w-w-rong.

 
These guys are going on the past , not the current situation. If they can get Mario they’ll pay.
I believe they would pay Mario's contract.
The question is will they pay for the football operation at the level of commitment a successful coach is sure to ask for? Staff, analysts. facilities etc.

Depends on the president.

Foote hated UM football.

Shalala loved UM football.

Frenk has to be reminded that UM has a football team.
 
Good point.

Everything is dead on and I agree.
Yep, stadium gonna be empty the next 2 weeks. I'm going to the beach and doing some shore fishing this weekend, I will watch next Thursday, but not attend, fingers crossed that UVA puts a churro up Manuelas butt hole...then we have a bye week and a string of road games. Not going to anymore home games.

We have 5 seats and are Die Hard Green Lot folks, we are done. Don't even get me started on the Yellow/Green Lot disaster

The anger I witnessed at that stadium on Saturday was different. I mean, even Laz is on social media killing this Administration about their incompetence.

That Thursday night attendance will be embarrassingly bad. Hopefully, Virginia beats us and puts us out of our misery.
 
BOT is putting out there on purpose because they’re gonna move fast for Mario. It’s already bad enough that there chatter about him and USC which is going to make Oregon uneasy. The last thing they need out there is some dopey reporter saying that Soffer is about to go rent out a Brinks truck to drive into Eugene. You want Oregon to extend him again? It’s called optics or if you play cards “not showing your hand” plus it also gives leverage to Mario in negotiating what he’ll get per year.


This is going to happen quick and fast with Mario probably being named HC within 24 hours of the AD. I’d be surprised if it doesn’t happen that way.

Interesting. What is your timeline for this to happen? Color me excited.
