Bennie Blades to meet with Pres.Frenk/Blake James

[JgDaCane]

I swear for goodness I don't knkw wrf yall smoking thinking any administrator will be fired over the football program. It's like you guys are just telling yourselves this repeatedly as if it's going to somehow come true.

Agreed. Blake James is untouchable. If he weren’t he would be gone by now.

HAHAHAHAHAHA....Are you serious? You don't think the Athletic Director job includes hiring the right guy to maintain the main source of income for his department? Not only that, but our Basketball team is mediocre and our Baseball team has also under achieved. Literally our 3 major men's sports need to upgrade their coaching staff. Guess who's responsible for their performance and lack of respect for athletics?

PR stunt by Frenk & James .... just like CMD's BS defense of school last week.
Herbie has them all in CYA mode. lots of talk, not much else

Hiring Reed was a publicity stunt that worked for a minute.

 

[LoungeLord]

If this post is accurate (and it may well be) then this board should shut down, and everybody here should find a new pastime because the program (and UM athletics broadly) is deader than a door nail.

What do you think we do around here all day?

Please no more meeting with former players. This ain't the 80's anymore. Their input means nothing and in fact does more harm than good. They have no idea how to win in today's landscape and should only be heard when making a speech at halftime in front of 5,000 fans.

 

[HurricaneHauk]

Bennie is an all timer, but if they’re not gonna listen to Ed Reed, then why would they listen to Bennie?

Maybe send Darryl Williams in next…

I say send in Nate Webster

 

[Angry Ibis]

Alot of them already have....

So they just don’t care? Sad

Helps keep the negative attention in the press. That can not hurt the desired result.

We need James Jackson Brother to go talk to them

 

[who]

Unless he calls for their resignation, this is a waste of time.

Then you mean the AD, NOT a school administrator.

He’s going to go in there and play politics…

 

[Salt]

He seems to be the only football alum not tweeting to fire Diaz

He would not even got a meeting if he had. Save that for closed doors.

 

[Salt]

Reed hasn’t gone to them

If I were Reed I would disassociate from this **** show ASAP. He doesn’t need the money. He is just a mascot right now.

Thing is some of these former players have money. They can talk with their money

 

[423Hurricane]

Admire Bennie’s efforts but one voice may not have a significant impact. I’d like to see several prominent former players form a group and meet with the powers that be. The more the merrier

 

[Angry Ibis]

Not sure any of it helps. Seems more like another chance for the powers that be to make an excuse and use it to their advantage.

Unless Bennie is some kind of svengali and can talk Blake James into firing himself, I'm not sure what good this is gonna do. May as well have Manny in on the conversation too.
