Big update from Herald

[JG14]

Wolken is the biggest flappy ****** in sports media today. He might have a point here, but this **** would prefer college football to still be shut down from Covid almost 2 years later.

 

[SSCane]

Real question is are they gonna continue to let the baseball and basketball programs waste away? They need to be purged as much as football.

Don’t worry, Strawley will be looking after baseball and basketball.

I’m at the point I wish they would shut down the Miami program, so I can move on with my life.

 

[Sugarcane521]

Why is it so difficult for these morons to hire an experienced athletic director from another University? Why do we have to be “Miami bro”?

Who has been the AD that was a Miami guy. Seriously I really don't remember

 

[TheOriginalCane]

Who has been the AD that was a Miami guy. Seriously I really don't remember

Doc Mallios. He's in the UM Sports Hall of Fame. Very involved with hiring a particularly successful coach, I forget his name, Howard something.

I can’t wait to hear answers to this..

 

[Sugarcane521]

Right so the point was made without me making it

Bear is ****ting on UM but takes the poor Manny angle

Of all my issues with the way UM has handled this process, "fairness to Manny" is literally last on my list.

Good find (I wasn’t aware of him) but you’re making his point.

 

[TheOriginalCane]

Of all my issues with the way UM has handled this process, "fairness to Manny" is literally last on my list.

It's, literally, the reason you pay a fired coach millions of dollars. To be fair.

 

[TheOriginalCane]

Good find (I wasn’t aware of him) but you’re making his point.

How am I "making his point"? Doc Mallios was probably the best-ever UM AD prior to Jankovich. So, probably the second or third best in UM history.

 

[No_Fly_Zone]

Exactly.

Coupled with his total incompetence and the fact he's the coaching hire equivalent of a Make A Wish kid getting his dream granted, it is really hard for me to muster up even a shred of sympathy for the guy.

 

[Hurracanes]

Reread his post.

 

[TheOriginalCane]

Reread his post.

What point do you think Sugarcane521 was trying to make? Be specific. That he can't remember?

 

[Fluffhead]

He is wrong about the Manny part. This dude stole 10x what he deserved from UM.

Ok and one has nothing to do with the other.

 

[FL Cane]

Of all my issues with the way UM has handled this process, "fairness to Manny" is literally last on my list.

I think this a case of Miami wanting Mario and Mario not being available to next week earliest.

 

[motorcitycane]

Alright.

Let’s look at the current college environment amongst the biggest sports.

College Football

College Basketball

College Baseball

College Soccer

College Lacrosse

Womens Basketball

Track and Field

What ADs currently have these programs firing on all cylinders?

 

[JHallCanes]

no f’in way Manny is here next year

I will happily take a ban from the board for the entire season if I’m wrong

Which works perfectly because I won’t be able to read it anyway

Alright.

Let’s look at the current college environment amongst the biggest sports.

College Football

College Basketball

College Baseball

College Soccer

College Lacrosse

Womens Basketball

Track and Field

What ADs currently have these programs firing on all cylinders?

Arkansas is set up the best out of anyone in the country. Best baseball program, basketball looking for another sweet 16 maybe a final 4 this year (with no signs of slowing down in either) and football is building into a respectable program in a real tough spot.

Honorable mention to Michigan this year bc they finally got over the OSU hump. Solid baseball with recent success and very good basketball.

If you wanna talk about potential, there are a handful with a chance to surpass Arkansas mainly bc of football. They’ll never be an elite football school again IMO.
