We love the University of Miami and what "The U" stands for. After 13 years of mediocre seasons that are not of Miami Football caliber, fans and alumni demand a change. The 2014 high school class were only toddlers when the University of Miami won its last national championship. While the brand still attracts strong talent, without a supportive system and direction, more and more talent will continue to flock elsewhere, making the brand less and less relevant.
Many have blamed three different coaching staffs, players, and other factors, but it is now clear the root cause of the problem is at the heart of the administration. 13 years of lackluster administrative support and faulty hiring to save money is just too much. With new executive leadership coming in 2015, we demand a new direction with the following changes so we can quickly return to supporting our University not just with our hearts, but with our wallets:
1. You must publicly accept we have a problem and declare a new vision to set course in the right direction. Acceptance is the first step in effecting change.
2. You must replace the coaching staff with one that has the Football intellect to take Miami to National Championship contention. While we appreciate the services of prior coaches who will be good for other programs, we will not settle for 3-4 loss seasons or for coaching philosophies that do not fit the Miami culture. We demand investment in an elite head coach of National Championship caliber.
3. You must publish plans for improved facilities, to be constructed in the next decade. While the Schwartz center is a good start, it is minuscule compared to facilities at competing schools.
4. You must declare a plan for a new University of Miami stadium that gives our home field advantage back.
