BOT / Highsmith for AD

[Era66]

I am kinda glad the BOT is making those decisions at the moment. Without the BOT Golden would still be coach at Miami. James had no intention of ever firing the guy. Now the BOT needs to check James again and get rid of "his" guy Manny Shannon.

More like Manndy Dannon.

I hope Zo hires AJ Highsmith to be the OC

I don’t...

What were clem$ons revenues vs ours in 2012? How about 2001?
You gotta spend money to make money. Mismanage, and your revenues will be ****. Get the best management there is, your revenues will go up.

We are mismanaged. I am seeking to point out that if we correct that, things would be better. This isn’t that complicated.

College athletics has changed a ton since 2012, much less 2001. This is a huge problem I see from the Miami "Fanbase": A complete lack of knowledge of how college athletics works. Then again, no other fanbase worth a **** would be looking at people with zero athletic department experience to oversee the department. Alonzo Highsmith is a very intelligent man, who worked his way up through the NFL ranks, and is a good choice for a GM. What an NFL GM does, and what a high level college AD does are two entirely different things. Remember the following: Alonzo has never had to hire support staff, he's never been responsible for that before. What are his connections? What would he think about having to sign off on marketing stuff? What about other non-football crap? An athletic director's job goes beyond just looking after one program. Is Zo interested in dealing with boosters and donors? Zo is a no-nonsense guy, you think he is interested in being a politician?

Why take that risk? There are dozens of quality ADs out there that Miami could get that would be able to give the fans what they want: A well run, efficient department, that is nationally competitive. While it is unlikely that Miami is able to consistently compete with the factory schools, The U should be among the nation's best. A good AD, that can identify leadership talent, successfully fundraise and leverage the few advantages the school has will do quite well.

Im advocating hiring Dan Radakovich away from clem$on. I’m advocating for doing anything other than continuing to entrust our athletic department to this current dipwad that we ”stole” away from freeking Maine. It seems to me, the ones with the complete lack of knowledge for how college athletics works are the people who would hire someone like Blake James to run such a challenging and important department.

So..., not sure why you responded to me the way you did, or why you felt the need to put “Fanbase” in quotes.

My bad. Everyone around the country knows that qualification #1 for any job is whether or not message board Cylo has heard of the candidate. We will filter all future resumes across your duplex coffee table.

Please don't think about entering the world of comedian as a profession. Cause that was str8 crickets all around

 

[Cylo]

wait he never heard of manny before miami? did he watch any CFB?

I'm betting the house neither did you. Please show facts of you talking about his work at Texas or Miss State. Cause I'm pretty sure there's none

 

[Cylo]

Do you ever stop slurping? Or better yet do you ever get any work done in the Hecht center since your always on here spewing BS? Actually never mind as we already know the answer to that question by the crystal clear ineptitude of the Hecht and it’s employees! Lol

I mean this dude a clown. Its funny to me that he acts like that he's the normal one. Dude out of his mind

So the answer is no you don't have any proof
