I wonder if this Board would have the guts to hire Highsmith and give him a free hand. They’d give Blake a $100 million dollar, ten year extension before they’d hire Highsmith. Too much Wokery on that Board.I think the next UM coach will be either Mario or Lane Kiffin. If Blake is fired or reassigned and Alonzo hired to oversee football, Mario will be new coach. Blake tenure intrinsically linked to Manny. I like Manny and he is very smart, job just too big for someone who never ran a program. I think Mario is a good comp with Butch, great great recruiters, who need to hire really exceptional staffs to be successful on both sides of ball. At the end of the day, recruiting is the name of game though, and Mario or Kiffin check those boxes.
I never said he would. This is all just a bunch of what ifs.Come on! Fisher is NOT leaving A&M to come to this dumpster fire unless the Royal Caribbean BOT member gives him a 25% interest in the cruise line.
True that.I never said he would. This is all just a bunch of what ifs.
I can give you $75 million reasons Fisher left for A&M. Call me when he gets within 2 touchdowns of Alabama.Didn't Jimbo leave FSU due to their lack of commitment to improving facilities and football budget? He would face the same problems here.
Yeah but Jackson has a way of spinning his opinion as fact. Like I’m sure no one said it takes 10MTrue that.
That said, you’ll notice the provenance of Barry’s article? People at UM use Jackson to engage in hostile leaking from time to time. This article is one of those times. Someone on the BOT is deeply upset not just about the performance of the team last Saturday but about the general arrangements at the Hecht.
If he can’t win ten games with this schedule and roster he’ll never do it.Manny won 9 last year and he should win 10 this year with the schedule.
In 2022 - Southern Miss, Texas A&M, Clemson (2 losses there) and 1 or 2 more out of conference games yet to be scheduled & same crappy ACC. So that is TBD.
In 2023 - Miami (OH), Temple, Texas A&M & no Clemson. Same crappy ACC so that’s TBD. It’s not impossible for Manny to reel off 3 straight 10 win seasons.
I didn’t say Manny was going to do it. It was said in the context as to what would need to happen for the program to start to come back so don’t get your panties in a bunch.
$75 million gets you within 2 tds of Bama? Forget about it!I can give you $75 million reasons Fisher left for A&M. Call me when he gets within 2 touchdowns of Alabama.
Again, this all starts with the AD. After that you can spend money smartly which Miami has not done in forever. Think about this, we bought out Diaz from Temple with a 5 minute coaching search. We extended Richt but thank goodness Richt retired. We extended Golden for winning 9 games even after he flopped the last 4 games of that season. Geez, even in basketball, Jim should have been fired after this season.
ThisIf he can’t win ten games with this schedule and roster he’ll never do it.
You must change AD's end of story. You hire Sam Jankovich you get JJ, Dennis, you make a bad hire in Blake, and you get what we have.Diaz was hired because from the university's perspective, he was the cheapest option with the least amount of risk. He was being hired from a staff that led the program to its 1st coastal division title, 1st bowl win in a decade, and NY6 bowl appearance. Furthermore that previous staff was hired at the recommendation of a search committee the university paid top dollar for. Compared to hiring someone else at a similar bottom rung salary, Diaz had less unknowns. This is especially true when you consider the fact they were hiring him from a program in Temple, that produces P5 HCs at a higher rate than any other G5 program.
As for handing out extensions prematurely. Its not difficult to understand, that's a tactic they are employing in order to offset & get a handle on runaway inflation that has occurred in Div I salaries for CFB HCs in the last 20 y
All three HCs - Shannon, Golden & Diaz, were some of the lowest paid HCs in P5. Which is why it's insane to expect anything more from this program than mediocrity.
And to that I would say that we need to move on if that’s the case. But if he wins anywhere from 7-9 games, as fireable as that is & with the ADs job also at stake, they will probably give him one more year. I would hope that wouldn’t be the case but until proven otherwise, that’s probably what will happen.If he can’t win ten games with this schedule and roster he’ll never do it.
He won 8 last year sport. Get it right. All you have to do is google it to see 8-3 was the 2020 record. But go on propping up your boy who owns the two worst losses in Miami history and is a coRch of epic proportions. Smh did you happen to notice that with a whole offseason to prepared his team came out looking no different then it has in the last 3 years? The 3 Us of manny my man, undisciplined, unprepared and unmotivated. The team is a reflection of the head man, no wonder we play like a bunch of Pussies out there, hard to respect a coach who never even played the game. Dude never put the blood sweat and tears on the field, so how’s he supposed to command others to do it my friend?Manny won 9 last year and he should win 10 this year with the schedule.

Some of the guys on here probably do. I’ve seen them post multiple times about how much $ they make.Do you have $70m lying around?
1) the revenues of each program are irrelevant to Kelly’s pay.What part of ND being a $100M program do you not understand? I want you to read the following very carefully & slowly, so you really understand what's being discussed.
https://www.onefootdown.com/2020/5/...raw-jack-swarbrick-2018-2019-compensation-irs
"the federal disclosure doesn’t require the university to detail at least two sources of compensation for football coach Brian Kelly, which likely means he had the highest income of any coach during the year ending June 30, 2019.
The university reported it made payments to Kelly’s limited liability company, but were excluded because they’re not required as part of the IRS Form 990 disclosure. As in past years, the accountants also noted that Kelly “is permitted to receive compensation from external sources with prior written approval from the university.” Since the university is not a party to those agreements —- for example, between Kelly and Under Armour — and the coach doesn’t provide any services to the university because of those agreements, they don’t have to be included in this document."
But lets say for arguments sake what you're insinuating is correct, that Brian Kelly is one of the lowest paid HCs in CFB, and MIA can easily find someone of his caliber too, if it only tried harder. It's easier to swallow being underpaid at a $100M program that annually competes for the CFB playoffs, than it is at a middling ACC program struggling to stay afloat. Do you understand?
We need and want Manny to finish out his current contract without an extension. That would be ideal for a few reasons, even if it impacts recruiting some.And to that I would say that we need to move on if that’s the case. But if he wins anywhere from 7-9 games, as fireable as that is & with the ADs job also at stake, they will probably give him one more year. I would hope that wouldn’t be the case but until proven otherwise, that’s probably what will happen.
5 posts your first 8 years here and now we can't shut you up.We need and want Manny to finish out his current contract without an extension. That would be ideal for a few reasons, even if it impacts recruiting some.
And even then, only extend him if the buyout equals a happy hour tab at Flany's
