I did this with AG. I learned my lesson. “Never count your chicks before they hatch.”

And now we’ve seen the complete picture. Blake jumping the gun on the hire. Manny now spending millions on keeping tabs on who cheers. What a clown show.

I never thought Diaz would be THIS bad. The minute I found out he hired Dan Enos, I felt we had all been hoodwinked. What a **** joke that we hired a smooth, although lispy, talking used car salesman/politician to run this team. Blake James should be fired, and any BOT member that supported the Diaz hire should have to sit the next one out. AD AND HC hires.

Because these "national coaching searches" were so successful for Miami after 2006 and 2010—both just taking up time and proving that we already knew; that Miami isn't as desirable a job as this fan base thinks it is.

James took the lower-risk hire and nabbed Diaz, believing the defense was in tact—hiring the architect who rebuilt it, while trusting he could do the same thing on offense by bringing in the right guys there.

The hire also kept a recruiting class from being decimated, kept some seniors on campus who were gonna leave and resulted in some forward-thinking regarding how to play the Transfer Portal that helped Miami with depth this year.

Without all that, it'd have been a full-blown overhaul that would've set this thing even further back.

Fact is the timing was **** with Richt leaving when he did and a national search would've arguably lasted until after NSD; with zero guarantee Miami would've been able to pull anyone worthwhile.

It was a lower-risk hire, but it wasn't dumb, lazy or any of the other garbage the critics keep putting out there.

The recruiting class was sub-par at best leading up to that point and there are rumors that a lot more transfers are on the way. You don’t skip a coaching search and interview process because you chose wrong in the past. That is simply asinine.
 
Submissives gonna submissive.

James declined to say whether Oregon’s Mario Cristobal would be considered if the UM job is open again. And James reiterated to Ferman what he had told us previously - that were would have been no way to conduct a national coaching search AND hire Diaz, because a decision needed to be made quickly on Diaz because he had already committed to coach Temple. So Diaz was hired the same day Mark Richt resigned (Dec. 30).

This comment right here is all you need to know about the pure incompetence that is Blake James and why he and all his cronies in the athletic dept need to be the sole focus of every form of criticism us fans can throw there way! Unbelievable that this bum let a man that’s never played the game of football and never been a head coach before strong arm him into giving him the job on the spot! Smh there’s no hope as long as Flake James is in charge.

This was, for all practical reasons, a hire from within. We’re O for three now with these kinds of hires. Coker, Shannon, and now Mannenos. We need to throw this option out the window for future considerations, or it’s just wash, rinse, repeat.

To this day, I have absolutely ZERO PHUCKING CLUE how someone with Blake James' resume gets an AD job at a major college program.

Shalala.

It’s sad that “to this day” you haven’t figured out that she called all the shots and is the architect behind our fall.
 
funny you guys think its blake james or any AD here that actually has power. before blake, it was eichorst and before him it was hocutt and before that it was dee who hired randy after being rejected by everyone and anyone. the main issue is the BOT. they pushed for manny (or a segment of them) while the others pushed for mario. thats exactly the issue. they push for their boys with ties vs actually finding a good candidate from outside.

on top of that, search firm or not, no elite coach is interested in this job. minimal support from a booster and fan level along with limited resources for actual football related things compared to big time programs. were a relic

Who doesn't know that? That's not the point. Even TAKING THAT INTO ACCOUNT, I still can't reconcile how even she could make such an unqualified hire.
