For the life of me, I cannot understand why this administration has yet to dismiss Manny Diaz. I simply do not get it, and it speaks to the complacency and internal dysfunction. I said it weeks ago, and I will say it again, this administration has taken the fans for granted, has completely failed the community - not taking Thanksgiving turkey handouts.
My plan of action would be as follows:
A. Tuesday, October 19: Announce Manny's dismissal and promote Lashlee to interim HC. He will be gone by end of season but we need someone that can keep things organized. Elevate TRob to DC. Make it known via a press release to all media outlets that Miami is committed to bringing in the very best coach it can find, and that it will immediately begin restructuring the operation, starting with the removal of Blake James as AD. I would move him to janitorial services.
B. Launch a Community Roundtable and invite all SoFla coaches to listen and learn from our previous and current mistakes. What in their mind do we need to fix/improve and how so we can really put a fence around SoFla. Additionally, set-up coaching boot camps for HS coaches and assistants once our new HC and staff come in; so we can build meaningful relationships.
C. Hire a Football General Manager, and that job should go to Alonzo. Period. He can then begin to set-up an entire new operation covering recruiting, coaching, partnerships, metrics, nutrition, academics, etc.
D. Allocate $20M towards the new hire and associated coaching staff. Do not mess around. You have the money. Do it and stop messing with us.
E. Nationwide search with a public/private modes. Share some names with press that wont end up being the targets but that let it be know we are not going after unproven folks.
F. Finalize hire by December. Hire someone that has a great eye for talent. Hire someone that has done a lot with a little. Hire someone that will embrace man-to-man coverage and a physical defense.
