Blake James speaks on the season

What's frustrating with James for me most of all is that he has failed to identify the larger landscape of college football and the resources needed to compete at that level. College sports has changed a lot in the last decade or so. IMO, teams are like nations at this point. Superpowers have developed (Bama, Clemson, OSU) and then you have your tier 2 and 3 and so on. (I'd put us in tier 3.)

We're never going to have the resources of tier 1. But, any AD here needs to try his damnest to squeeze every amount of juice possible out of the administration and the boosters to at least attempt to combat it. I'm not sure whether he has any long-term plan.

It’s really simple, he doesn’t have a vision, which is essential for a leader, and if he does have a vision, it’s not appropriate for college football in 2021.

We can succeed in spite of him if we get lucky, but we are still going to need a visionary athletic director, especially because the issues surrounding Miami football are so unique with respect to the other big players who have 20 times as much funding to spend as we do.

He's a hockey guy? I never met a hockey guy that doesn't mind losing like James.
