The highest paid employee at the university clearly does not want to be here, is absolutely failing at his job, and is hated by almost everyone outside the program is still employed. He goes AWOL at any given moment, refuses to address his failing philosophy and staff, and let's other schools out recruit him in his own back yard is still employed.
All the while UM has raised over a billion dollars, have shared revenue from the ACC, and recieve 1.5M donation to the football teams refuses to pay a buyout. All caused by their incompetence and unwillingness to spend the necessary money for a quality coach and staff, and decision making of giving a 6-6 coach a multi-year extension for sticking with them for Cloud that they created by allowing a Ponzi schemer to run wild throughout the program while turning a blind eye as long as the checks were coming.
To me UM has failed the fans, the players, former players, and all other parties that loved the U because of the football program. It's like those who are in charge are embarrassed to believe that the U is what it is today because of the football program and nothing else. Time to pay homage to that and give back to the die hard canes fans what they care and want the most and that's a great football team.
