Big update from Herald

[Cane6]

This is basically best case scenario.. and it's a very solid one.

**** to the No on Chun

Give me Hernandez or Nunez instead of Chun

Still want Jurich tho

 

[PIPO]

Watch the finish!!

 

[Golsen82]

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

Ed Reed! CIS logic. Or mario can be HC /AD

 

[Gmannewt]

why are people upset if this is true? This is basically no different than the idea of Highsmith being some sort of football czar, then having a separate AD for other sports.

 

[KWCOWBOYFAN]

I would laugh my A$$ off if one of the CIS insiders were feeding the Herald wrong information.

Teach them to steal info from us!!!

 

[OrangeBowlMagic]

What coach wants a former player breathing down their neck telling them who to recruit?

Then you have the 100s of other former players breathing down Zo's neck telling him to recruit their kid, cousin, etc.

Zo would not be a legit candidate for anything in an AD at a top 25 football school. For some reason our fan base eats it up.

Just take a look at the amount of people it takes to competently run an athletic department. Just click on this link and laugh. You think hiring ONE GUY is gonna throw things into total chaos?

Last hours of labor are upon us! Final push!

Wtf else do you expect from the program that took 7 years to fire Blake James?

 

[FL Cane]

I actually heard this too recently

Yeah she actually has a good reputation in college athletics. She shouldn’t be anywhere near hiring a coach or anything like that, but she evidently has a skill set. I think people on this board give her lots of sh*t because she’s an easy target.

Blake was the cancer. She definitely shouldn’t be AD EVER, but she wasn’t the problem.

I have to imagine Miami is the worst run athletic department in the Power 5

 

[BisCane]

Him running the entire dept. with someone like Zo helping with football would be just fine with me.

Yep. Keep Gino out of this.

 

[DiegoCane]

"Zo"? "ZO!?" I'm reeeeaaaal tired of this f'n guy. Some CTE-fueled grunt in an ill-fitting Men's Warehouse blazer.

He's qualified to be a position coach, maybe also head up recruiting for a head coach's staff. That's about it. That's literally his background. Evaluating individual football players... but people want to hand him an entire athletic department that's in absolute shambles and must make a great hire before potentially falling into permanent irrelevance? You fellas are off your rocker if you're with this plan.

That's the best we got? A talent evaluator? That's what we paid a search firm for? Lmao.

"Hey search firm I need to hire a brain surgeon, what do you got?
"Here's a janitor from the ER. That'll be 200k."

I wish whichever sumbltch on the BT that was responsible for this could be dragged -- nevermind, I don't want to get banned again for "mean poopie head speech."

This should be obvious but look at the thread, 90% of the fan base is on board because he's a Miami bro.

 

[P-Tizzle]

All this means 1/3 of the OP is accurate.

It's not an athletic department, it's a country club.

 

[TooColdToHold]

DMoney has been dropping info and then disappearing. He‘s getting a good laugh at us freaking out. When this all resolved, I can’t wait to hear what he knew and when he knew it.

 

[Tad Footeball]

I agree for the most part. On the other hand.. I really want Alonzo Highsmith involved and I think he’ll do a lot of good. So this is seemingly the route we have to take.

I can assure you one thing - Highsmith will not be anyone’s puppet.

Will he be Mario's puppet though because I'm sure the Columbus Crew will assure us all that both are the most Alphaiest Alphas since the inception of the Greek alphabet. Sooooo....what happens when the Football Czar and The Football Savior Coach clash on something football related?

Does the universe just refuse to comprehend that one must win out and instead swallows itself? Or does Strawley first file a lawsuit about the "toxic masculinity" in the workplace as basketball fails to qualify for the CBI Tournament and beisbol is getting blown out by teams from up north where their recruits can only even practice outdoors for like half of the year?

I’d say country clubs have more stones tbh. It’s depressing to try to support this program

@DMoney Appreciate the update from the Herald. First, and I’ve said it before, Manny is gone. The message conveyed by the Herald that it’s a football only decision is not correct, at least in JF’s thought process. JF has driven this change starting with BJ months ago and many BOT members have followed him and put their faith in him. Either he has done a complete 180 or it’s incorrect information provided by the Herald.

This again feels like more misinformation leaking out to put people off the scent.
