Blake James

So, these two will be the scapegoats when season ticket sales tank. Fake James will have bodies to fire.

How desperate for employment must these two be, to accept walking into this imbroglio.

I keep saying it but it doesn't matter.

UM needs a competent passionate and energetic person running that department. That is not Blake James.
 
Since we can't fire him, let's promote Al to AD. He is con man and probably perfect for that job. Only condition is that Butch becomes HC and Mark goes home.
 
Layton is a ticket seller. James is a ticket seller. Apparently, selling tickets is what UM brass believes a director of athletics should do.

How did UM get to this point from where we were at when Sam Jankovich was the AD? How long do you think Sam Jankovich would have stayed at UM if he was nothing but a glorified ticket hawker?

Breaking News: UM just hired Jordan Belfort of Stratton Oakmont fame to sell tickets. Direct quote from Jordan's presser:

"I want to thank Donna and Blake for bringing me in. I never thought I'd be a part of a fraud bigger than the one I pulled on wall street, but thanks to them and the opportunity to con UM fans on the premise that Al Golden and Company are division 1 coaches, I've got a chance."

Unbelievable stuff right there.

He may not have any power to hire/fire our coaches but he replace Freet with this guy?

Jason Layton?

So Miami has an opening. Layton was Sales and Marketing at Colorado State. He was hired as Communications and Marketing at Miami. Prior to that he worked for the Bucs for 13 years. He's a Florida guy. How does that not make him qualified for what this position is?

UM is all about shysting rubes into buying tickets that they won't use, so they can collect that revenue and report a crowd of 60k when there are actually 15k in attendance.

I'm sure this new empty-headed tool is the Bill Belichick of ticket schlockers because that's what's important to UM. UM wants to bamboozle dummies into paying for a **** product, so they need a monster hire in that area.

LOL, The Wolf of coral gables...
 
Fyi: This new tool won the 2012 Ticket Schlocker Hashtag of the Year Award for his genius #TicketOrMissIt and #NoTickieNoBallgame tags. He's going to take UM by storm.

I find it interesting that you do anything possible to defend James. Let me know all these great things about him. Are you guys friends or something? He is a Florida guy, where in Florida? It is a pretty diverse state (not that being from Florida means anything in general).

He is qualified because he had a similar position. Being in our AD is quite different from Colorado State. I look forward to seeing him take that CSU magic and applying it in Coral Gables.

We already had a great guy at the position. We take a younger energetic guy and replace him with Layton. We take a guy that was doing "creative things" with social media and bring in this guy. I could be wrong but our athletic department needs a guy like Freet. This guy has a bright future and took a job (similar position) at Arkansas. As someone who met and interacted with Freet, it's kind of interesting that we let him pass so easily.
