Though I'm not into banners and billboards myself, at least I understood the goal back when many were hoping Manny would be canned, clearly major staff changes were needed if he wasn't, and we all clung to a hope the BOT would force changes up high in the AD.
But now it's January 23, 2020. Manny is 100% going to be our head coach this season. The BOT is obviously not forcing any changes to Blake/Strawley or bringing in a CEO like Hismighth, etc. Could that happen next year? Perhaps. But you could put a billboard on every block in Miami-Dade County and it still isn't happening before this season. Manny canned Enos and got Lashlee who almost surely is bringing a new modernized scheme with him. We landed King who seems to be the perfect guy to fill our current need/role, we landed another huge transfer in Roche, will be putting a strong defensive roster on the field this year, have a handful of really promising youngsters coming in at positions of need, and are hopeful King and Lashlee's new scheme will mask our O-line issues which, on paper, they should.
So I ask this as a genuine question, not for the purpose of ridiculing this... what is the hope/goal/benefit of the billboard at this point? Like, legitimately, what do you realistically hope it achieves? Because literally the ONLY result I can see it having now (as opposed to, say, the week after bowl loss) is further adding to the climate of negativity around the program. Is this just a principle thing? "We've already climbed the hill, so god dammit we are gonna die on it!"? or am I missing something?
