Big update from Herald

[SSCane]

No offense, but this is exactly what I was talking about.

Clearly you have no inside information or valuable insight. You just say “clean house, she must go.”

@TheOriginalCane already answered my question, just as I thought the answer would be: JS is an employee that does as told. Never went rouge, just did her job but unluckily had her name exposed and then flown on a banner. Pathetic, IMO.

Fly a banner if that makes you feel better, but there are real people’s lives on the line here. Until someone gives me a reason to hate an assistant AD, I’m gonna lay off her.

If the new guy decides he doesn’t wAnt her, fine. Let her go. But message board guys, most of whom are anonymous? Miss me with that.

Just to be clear, I don’t hate her or any body in the athletic department. I have nothing personal against her.
You are correct, I don’t have any insight information on her performance or the Miami Athletics and never claimed I did. I’m assuming you don’t either.

What I do know though, when attempting to turn around a failing organization or company, especially one with bad culture. One of the first things the new executive must and will do, is evaluate the existing personal and rid most of the underperforming executives and managers.
You don’t promote the 2nd in charge of the failing company with a rotten culture to top executive because they can take orders, even if that disrupts their careers.

UM athletics has been a mess for two decades. I don’t like the idea of promoting Strawley to AD and just bringing in a football operations guy. I want to see real change in the athletic department and that is going to require someone with experience from outside the program and let him or her evaluate Strawley and the rest of the staff. Enough of this promotions from within from the same rotten culture. We did it Shannon, Blake, Manny and it doesn’t work.

Here’s the thing, if we are running this like a business, it’s a conglomerate. The major revenue arm of this business (Miami Athletics) is the football team. Having someone to oversee that as a Chairman (Zo) and head coach (CEO) makes sense to me. So much so that I pitched it to Hilary Bass in 2019… unfortunately we are now in this ****show. But I remain cautiously optimistic reading the tea leaves from those in the know

 

[BobbyHurricane]

If Jurich is out per the Mike Ryan report, who are the most likely AD candidates?

Sign the Petition

TOM JURICH TO THE U.

[numbers]

Jurich would be a boss. All these other scenarios have fail written all over them.

 

[caneworld]

I don't disagree with you about a complete spring cleaning of the Hecht. But I honestly didn't know she existed until people started randomly ****ting on her a few years ago. Then it became the thing to do. If she were a raging **** and actively kneecapping us or some other BS, sure...**** her, but that's not what has been going on with her and the fan base.

She is taking the hits for the other higher up Shalala plants like Bass pushing their diversity and Inclusion cr@p throughout the dept..

People are scared of her because if she squeals discrimination and injustice to the PC nutcracker Bass, it will bring the woke SJW banshees down on you..

I don't see a Jurich level alpha getting along here, sorry.

 

[BentSteelCane]

Not impossible, but I suspect what you describe above would be on the NYT Best Seller Fiction list.

Stephen King couldn't write a better horror story.

 

[5Rings&an Asterisk]

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.

As much as Miami is known for football, our baseball program was also elite until Blake ruined that too. We were on a streak of 40+ years of making it to the post season. We need an AD not just a football guy

 

[Pearson704]

So the original question from ages ago still stands. If Zo becomes the Football Czar, who has the power to fire him? Who is his boss? The AD? BOT/President only?

That's likely the rub here, and the questions of who has power or responsibility if things don't go right.

 

[Pearson704]

Lol, experience and an actual successful track record of being an AD. Making great hires, raising a ridiculous amount of money and making great moves for UL when it comes to conference realignment as well as being the AD when the 2 cornerstone athletic programs (football and hoops) made a huge turnaround and became legit. That’s what he brings. Some of you all really underestimate the importance of a legit AD, clearly.

I want Zo here, but not as AD, no. Ya’ll arent tired of experimenting with guys in 1st time roles yet?

ridiculous Money has already be promised by Frenk, and the coach that will attract even more ridiculous money looks up to Zo. You don't know who Zo knows or could attract in pro and amateur sport to run our programs; he's a respected and knows what championship programs look like from top to bottom. I don't think people realize that as an NFL scout Zo is all over the country meeting CFB coaches and looking at how programs are run. It's asinine to equate what he could bring to the table with someone who's never played the game or been an executive at the highest levels of sport for his entire life.

I just don't get the hate. I don't believe Ken Dorsey and Dan Morgan wouldn't get the same hate if they had Zo's pro credentials..

1.) It aint "hate". It's wanting someone in the position that has done it and done it well before. Simple as that.
2.) Yes, yes they would. I have voiced my opinion plenty about Dorsey and the theories about him being a HC here (don't want that at all), and wouldn't want Morgan at AD for the exact same reasons. HE HAS NOT DONE IT.

Why is it some motive for just wanting a guy with experience? Why does it have to be more than that? I am a fan or a program that has been in the sh*tter for 15 years and a large part of that is due to hiring people in crucial positions and allowing them to learn on the job. I am just sick of it. Why can't I just want a proven veteran? Is that too much to ask?

It’s not hate to point out that Jurich , who served as an actual AD , has more experience at the position than someone who never has . It’s just stating facts

Why do we not like Nuñez?

Preemptive *****ing.

Do Dorsey or Morgan have experience overseeing an athletic department and EVERYTHING that comes with that? No. Same end result and reaction. We will ignore your insinuation when literally not a single person on the board has said what you tried to put out as fact.

 

[JimmyJohnsonsHair]

Why do we not like Nuñez?

Look up the record of his coaching hires and tell us what you learned.

 

[htownkidd]

Why do we not like Nuñez?

What has he done? The terrible football program at UNM has gotten worse under his watch, along with the hoops squad. Why should we like him? The only reason his name is brought up is because of a personal Miami connection to one of the people calling the shots. He has done absolutely nothing of note to warrant the position. Of course, if none of this stuff had come out about us trying to play big boy ball/make a change/committing serious money to football etc then yeah, a hire like that would be par the course and expected. But don't talk that talk then go out and hire a guy like Nunez...

Experience as a sports administrator? Zo has that. You're overselling 'AD Experience' when the money and coaching connections are already in place to support the best product. I'm sure Zo knows coaches from other sports and is familiar with search firms. The rest is vision, leadership and institutional support. Blake had none of those and Zo would have all 3.

 

[L A M P]

Why do we not like Nuñez?

Took over a football program that went 9-4. Went 3-9, 3-9, 2-10, 2-5 & 3-9 since. 13-42 overall record.

Spoiler

Not a good winning %

People have suggested Dan Morgan for AD and Ken spent some time as assistant AD at FIU. Thanks

What will his experience as AD allow him to do that Zo couldn't?
