Blake James interview 7-23-15

[Cane1996]

We haven't won the Coastal Division since we came to the ACC. That should be our first goal over anything. You cant win anything without winning your Division first.

Lol don't comment on this board until you know what teams are in the Coastal. Louisville is not.

"In fact, athletic director Blake James said he believes UM has enough talent to compete for the ACC's Coastal Division title this season."

This about sums up the AD's mentality.

Palmetto High School has enough talent to compete for a Coastal title.

right? why are people acting like the costal is that competitive? georgia tech and maybe Louisville are the only teams doing anything and wouldn't be surprised if tech regresses like that have been up and down year to year.

so you mean i was giving the coastal division even more credit than deserved? my apologies. the coastal is a horse sh*t division with horse sh*t competition. winning it is not a big enough accomplishment in my eyes. it's acc champ or bust.

And I think that every time we've had a shot at it, our very next game was a guaranteed loss. I believe that has happened every single **** time.

because we've had two abominations of coaching staffs since being in the acc. we get a half decent one and we win it easily.

 

[DuffleBagYoda]

So what exactly was he supposed to say?
If you couldn't get what he was saying then that would explain the need to continue the monkey see monkey say...

 

[Cane Dynasty]

9-3. ACC Champs. Orange Bowl Champs. Book it.

Willing to bet your CiS posting rights?

Absolutely. Unless you pull in 5 figures a year betting on college football, as I have done every year since '95. This team is gonna be good. But given what I put up every darn week of the season on games, not posting on this negative **** show doesn't hurt.

It's a bet then.

 

[Tad Footeball]

More 0-0 toughguy preseason talk. You see the same thing from Alfredo about no excuses and accountability. Then our first garbage loss occurs and the excuses start to trickle out. Then more and more garbage losses culminate in another garbage season and good ol' Flake will produce another round of "Nobody wants to win more than Al and myself. We hear you. Everyone is accountable and will be reviewed but again ....nobody wants to win more than this staff and myself." That'll be followed by Alfredo touting how great Kaaya will be as a junior as Flake begins looking for a copy of the remarks he made now to re-recite in July of 2016.

We actually won it in 2012 but self imposed
post season ban kept us out. Of course, only reason we won was because UNC was under their own sanctions. So I believe it went to GT by default. It's sad that is the closest we've come to even winning our crappy division since joining the conference.

[theibisrules]

Just win Al and Blake....Just win! Anything else is BS. I don't want to hear about these key injuries or player conduct problems because YOU BROUGHT THESE PLAYERS HERE.

 

[Republicane]

Blake likes butch. thats a fact. Second, u guys attack the wrong people. he took orders from Donna the same way Coach D runs Golden's defense.

"You guys, he isn't incompetent. He's just a spineless shill solely interested in self preservation."

Because that's better.

or just doing what his BOSS told him to do. Its clear Golden is still around because Shalala lied
to him about NCAA and she didnt want to be the one who fired him. thats it.

The ***** were just following orders, so how could anyone hold what they did against them?

That's amazing cutting edge stuff. He said he wants to win. Wow!!! Stop the presses!!!

I for one believe him and trust him.

 

[Consigliere]

Blake is talking about wanting the coastal in the context of bigger and better things. Not the end-all be-all. You guys just hate the guy cause he didn't fire golden last year. Most of you don't realize that wasn't his call. Not defending him but there are a lot of unknowns with him.

Blake is a retarded puppet with no power in general. He is an awful AD and unfit for the Miami gig.

Since he has no power, he can at least refrain from speaking...ever.

“I think sometimes people take for granted that just by snapping your fingers it’s going to happen. That’s not how it works. You have to build a solid foundation and Al is building a solid foundation. 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.”

"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 this year


"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 bowl game this year

So what exactly was he supposed to say?
If you couldn't get what he was saying then that would explain the need to continue the monkey see monkey say...

Exactly what I was thinking...What I got out of the interview was... We Got To Win... no more excuses... Its not his job to micro manage a coach he needs to monitor the wins on the field and the antics off the field... He knows even his job has expectations... And I dont blame him for not allowing the reporter to pin him down to a specific number of wins .. everyone will know soon enough... Can't wait for the season to start .. The off season is doing a number on this site

 

[BoroCane83]

The season will do a number on this site and SWAG16.

Great news, shaq will be a beast wearing hopefully that #2 at middle linebacker at the U

Will there be mandatory lobotomies? Otherwise the same morons and optimists will still be there.

 

[919cane]

People taking this as an ultimatum to Al is hilarious. Folden treats this clown like he's his butler.

 

[daddacane]

But, But, But, why wouldn't you expect to win at least 10 games?
