Donna a Micromanager. DiMare & Miller to Decide Our Fate

[markcane]

And the part about Mike Shula is absolutely true, heard it from my bosses mouth!

 

[Bigtip]

Butch is a no brainer.

only coach I'd consider over him is probably Chip Kelly. LOL at Brian Kelly. first of all do not want. second there isnt a chance in **** he'd come here from ND

we need a sure thing. Herman is a **** up and comer pick, but there really isnt enough body of work from him at this point.

 

[BALLHAWKU]

I've heard that Jimmy is very much a part of the process. My boss is a BOT member.

Tell your BOT to pass the message to the rest , to stop fcking off hire Butch they're wasting time

The University of Miami’s new president, Julio Frenk, has taken a backseat in the hiring of a football coach. This is a complete U-turn from previous president Donna Shalala, who was in the middle of vetting candidates and overseeing decisions.

Frenk wants the finalists – or perhaps the finalist – brought to him. So the question becomes who will be deciding on who that finalist is. The answer is it’s essentially a three-man committee involving athletic director Blake James and two Board of Trustee members with deep roots and deeper bank accounts, Paul DiMare and Stuart Miller.

Don’t discount the Board members’ political weight (and financial backing) here. Miller and his family’s homebuilding company, the Lennar Corporation, gave more than $221 million toward the school’s medical school, according to the university and reports.
DiMare’s latest donation to the school was $12.5 million, of which $6 million was to fund scholarships to the Leonard Miller Medical School. Leonard Miller founded Lennar. Stuart Miller is Leonard’s son.

See how this is all interconnected?

DiMare also has given $3 million in recent years to the athletic department. That’s why the Paul J. DiMare Gallery of Champions in the athletic building that showcases national championship trophies. His son, Gino, a long-time Hurricane baseball assistant, will take over as coach when Jim Morris retires in 2018.

It’s clear these names know business. Do they know what make this football program tick?

One of the first names that was reached out to was Mike Shula, according to a source. Shula is a respected name and becoming a hot commodity as Carolina’s offensive coordinator. He isn’t interested, it seems.

The larger question is whether he would have been right for the job. Does he have any connections with Miami high schools, which is the prime selling point for the job? Could he develop them quickly?

It says something more about the process that Shula was contacted last week and that whispers came from all over when he was. We’ll have to see where this goes. These are strong, influential and rich businessmen involved. They obviously love the university. They also were involved in the hiring of Al Golden during the previous coaching search.
The question becomes: Do they get the right coach for the job this time?

I know a lot of y'all hate Donna.

But she felt the exact same way about the process when Golden was hired.

Now, maybe she gave him the criteria she was looking for ... But this theory that she had mega involvement in the hiring of Shannon and Golden doesn't seem to be accurate.

Please got to the 2:10 point and listen ...

Side note: It's also interesting to hear her say, "the only reason you hire athletic directors is so that they can hire coaches.". We have an AD who doesn't have that experience ...

 

[mdpcane]

Everyone defending that little ghoul should show themselves. She destroyed a dynasty in a little over a decade. She's a barbarian. Her whole goal is to create a "gender neutral football program without any triggers that offered a safe space."

This is the same woman that was rumored to encourage a "diverse" roster; she didn't want so many kids from South Florida. My those who defended her rot in the lowest level of ****.

AMEN !!!

 

[Consigliere]

I think it obvious we gave the BOT and AD a bad name before it was deserved. There was five successful hires until Shalala but then three bad hire. She was the problem.

She is the ***ing worst but...Are any of those people that made those hires around?

It was Miller's dad who was influential back then.

 

[Consigliere]

Therein lies the problem. We have too many cooks, some of whom are ***ing awful, and no real process in place for hiring.

Now that Golden is gone...

Step 1: Hire a competent passionate AD and allow the AD to run the department with total autonomy.

Step 2: Properly fund the department and quit the bullchit cheap behavior and wasteful spending.

It is one thing if these BOTs want to suggest something (a name), but there is no reason to have so many (incompetent) people involved in this process.

Every time I hear her voice I get sick to my stomach, she is a useless POS. You got the last three wrong Shalala , tore down the orange bowl, cost the U millions on a hospital, lost millions in prescriptions, brought that rat into the program with pictures of you taking dirty money. Tell us again what you accomplished at Miami?

 

[Consigliere]

I think it obvious we gave the BOT and AD a bad name before it was deserved. There was five successful hires until Shalala but then three bad hire. She was the problem.

If Mike Shula is the first person they reached out to, they deserve every bit of criticism thrown their way and some.

Really? The guy is the hottest NFL OC name out there.

[Consigliere]

Why does everyone take it as we reached out offering him the job? I think they are just reaching out to possibilities to see who wants to put their name in the hat. Shula doesnt excite many of us but im sure both BoT have some sort of relationship with the shula's and wanted to see if he'd be a possibility

Reaching out to proven losers is a stupid approach regardless of their relationship with his dad. It's a recipe for disaster if that's how you're conducting your search.

Exactly.

You make a list of great candidates and reach out to them. You need to go after the best and give it everything. Don't reach out to losers (Schiano, Mario, Kiffin and Shula etc.) because it is NOT necessary.

Were DiMare and Miller responsible for hiring Al Golden? How much of that was a Shalala decision? Are these the same dudes who were offended by Dan Mullen during his interview? These are important questions. These are the men responsible for either reviving us or driving the final stake through our skulls.

Miller is not really a football fan. His focus is on the medical school. DiMare is heavily involved in athletics and is probably the most influential donor in the athletic department.

When we hired Golden, the search committee was DiMare, Kosar and the AD.

DiMare wants Butch Davis.

Are there substantial obstacles in hiring Butch or are they just going through formalities. Sounds like if everything checks out with Butch with the NCAA its a done deal?

Kosar in charge of anything makes a ton of sense...

Butch is the best business decision for UM. hopefully that will be the biggest factor in this decision. UM cannot afford another bad hire. it has to be Butch.

I'm guessing DiMare was the chief proponent for Golden, since it's pretty well known that Trestmann was Bernie's preferred guy ...

Shouldn't the fact that DiMare was so wrong before give folks pause for his preference this time? Or, would that only matter if you didn't like his preference?

Also ... Who was offended by Mullen? was it DiMare? If so, another red-flag that he shouldn't be involved!

If he thinks coaches have to wait until after they've done something to have an ego, he's clueless, IMO.

 

[Ispyin]

I refuse to believe that Shula was one of the first people they reached out to, really?? What has he ever done at the college level, besides bomb at Bama?

I just pray that the DiMare pushing for Butch rumors are true. Give me Butch or Herman and I'm happy, haven't been happy with Miami football for a long time.

He's just the first one that leaked he was contacted. Maybe they were also curious on his take on Dorsey.

i get ripped for saying this. U guys misfired your frustration. coach d ran goldens defense and blake followed donna's orders.
