UT-Chattanooga is a **** good FCS school that played Bama a lot closer than UF did, and almost knocked #1 Sam Houston State out in the FCS playoffs yesterday.

We can pay them. We pay FAMU and Bethune-Cookman and Charleston Southern and Savannah State, so why not UTC?

Read the post slower you potato. Instead of some potato hyperbole, stick to a response that is logical.

Frenk forced the decision, this is a known thing. ******** was still sucking off ALbortion and Frenk went in.
This is a known thing.

People have short term memories so what you guys are saying unless we admit that Maine is everything Miami needs we are then bad or fake Canes fans? I say the exact opposite is true it would have been very easy to wash your hands and move on but loyalty is like that. You just don't have to pay to enable the inevitable disasters and incompetence.
I said wasn't all Maine the prior administration was a colossal failure and joke period. If they were so cheap and they could afford a top tier coach then what happened they just don't care? Or they thought Shannon and Folden were the most proven and experienced guys available to bring us a national title?
We have been laughed humiliated by those making upside down Us and honestly there is really no comeback. What do you say before this season "Well at least we had the Duke lateral play"
I would really like to know before Rick how many on here cared if Maine resigned and went back to Augusta if he is so competent and qualified?

He was barely five months into the job, I'm pretty sure he was dealing with fixing the med school, and getting the dead weight out of the way over there. Remember, Frenk can push all he want, but if the money people aren't moving then it doesn't make a **** bit of difference. This was a BOT/Golden Canes thing, as is most moves in the athletic department. Contrary to popular belief, athletic departments are low on the priority list of competent University presidents.

We pay those schools significantly less than what FBS programs get. The explosion in revenue for schools thanks to television deals have filtered down to how much "Rent A Victim" games cost. Remember, schools like Florida are paying upwards of 2 million dollars to beat on schools, Miami isn't doing that, for good reason. There is also another reason why Miami schedules FAMU and BCC, those schools are local, and their fans will help fill the stadium. This isn't Alabama, where people will spend good money to watch Miami compete against someone like UTC, there has to be a hook if it is an FCS program on the schedule. With FAMU/BCC, you get the bands, you get those schools' local fanbases turning out. That's why it makes sense to have those teams on the schedule. Frankly, as we've seen over the last decade, true home and homes between legit programs are becoming a thing of the past. Miami has to adjust and start pushing for more neutral site games, even though revenue wise, it doesn't help the school.

He was trying to get Richt during the season. And there were constant rumors that he was going to be fired.
The thing that is extremely stupid about you using Richt being fired from UGA as a negative for James is you don't know what the **** he was going to do if Richt decided to take a break (I guess James had nothing to do with convincing Richt not to take a break, it was also just luck). You're argument is just bad dude. You don't want to admit James has done some good things lately.

A few things:
1. Him being 5 months into the job is irrelevant. The situation was toxic and the decision needed to be made (it needed to be made after 2013 but not the point). So although the med school and those awful financials needed to be attended to, this situation was toxic and way overdue.
2. Our AD was still waiting until the end of the season to make a decision, he even said so after Clemson.
Miami athletic director Blake James called the day, "disappointing," but that no change in coaches would be coming in its immediate aftermath. He added: "We'll go and get ready to play Duke."
3. I agree that the president of the university has a ton of things to do. The president is not the GM of the sports program either. With that said, the loyalty and toxicity created an ugly and urgent matter that needed assistance.

1. Richt wasn't going anywhere unless he was forced out. This isn't some news flash.
2. It isn't stupid, it is what transpired. I am pointing out that ******** had no plan and that Richt fell into his lap. I guess it wasn't clear enough for you. So let me applaud our AD for having no plan but for UGA.
3. ******** has done so much bad that simply scheduling an opponent doesn't get him any respect from me. . He has also scheduled a ton of chitty opponents too. He can get respect when he actually does something that leads us to having success.

Public statements and what goes on behind closed doors are two different things. If you thought that Blake, or any AD not on crack would have come out and said "This **** is gone tomorrow", then you have little understanding of how leaders of organizations behave. Again, Frenk isn't a dictator, just like Dr. Shalala wasn't. They have to have support from the people writing the checks in order to get anything done. The relationship between Golden and the school had become toxic, but there was a problem: Getting someone to pay that buyout before the end of the season, and taking that hit. Once Miami was able to do that, combined with the 58-0 beatdown, made the move feasible. It was obvious after the Cinci game that Golden was out the door, the only question was when, and whether it would get so ugly that Miami would have to eat money in order for the fanbase to stop torching their own program.

As for the first part, there is a way to handle comments and there is a way not to handle comments. Blake addresses the media like someone that has no clue what is going on or he has no perception of reality.
After the Bowl Game in 2014: "I understand the frustration of the fan base," he said. "The thing I would say to everyone is no one is more frustrated than everyone here. It's frustrating when you don't have the type of success you want as a program. With that said everyone has different perspectives on what needs to be done. My job is to work with Al and figure out what is the best plan for us to get to where we meet all those expectations. The bar is set very high here."
After the Bowl Game in 2014: "I don't want to put a time on it, `this date', but we have to continue to move forward. I think there was a lot of progress made this year, unfortunately it wasn't in the win and loss column. At the end of the day it's about wins and losses, and I understand that, and I understand why fans are frustrated."
After the UL Game in 2014: "We are going to be a better team at the end of this year than we were at the start of this year. We’re going to be a better team at the end of this year than we were last year and we’re going to continue to get better each year.”
He just sound and acts like a dolt. He can support his coaches and organization without sounding the way he does. He is the face of the athletic program too. Also, his comments after Clemson are concerning because at that point there is nothing left to support. The situation is way past toxic and urgent.
-------------
As for ******** and his continued support of ALbortion. He coddled him through out his tenure and especially after that 2014 bowl game. ******** didn't force him to do a proper end of the year conference with the media. He didn't want his baby to have to face the pressure from the media.
He acts like someone who has no control and his comments don't match what is going on. He has no accountability (both in his statements and his employees) and his plans are concerning.
------------
As for Frenk being a dictator. Nobody says he was a dictator. With that said, he certainly has the power to put the pressure and get the job done. The buyout, which was given unnecessarily by the school, is the responsibility of the school to take care of. They created the "toxic" situation and they needed to deal with it. It also was 1.5 years too late. Quit making the messes they're then forced to deal with.
