This is just a made up useless position that was created by bad ADs to try to take pressure off their poor preference. FSU creates the position because their AD blew the Tagart hire and had to pay 15million buyout. Instead of wasting large money from Football operations budget on a useless made up position for bad ADs just have the balls to fire the AD in the first place and get an AD that knows how to make good coaching hires.

What are you going to pay a made up Chief of Staff 1.5-2million a year? Instead spend that money on OC and DC salary so you can attract better candidates to those positions. Spend it on good coaches and not a made up position that does the job of a terrible AD, just fire the AD.

I rather throw that money at the Next OC and possibly attract Brady or Yost, instead we will go bargain basement shopping for Arkansas State OC because we want to create a CHief of Staff position and pay that person millions to do the ADs job. If we want to compete with big money schools like LSU, BAMA,CLEM,UF,etc. we need to use the money we have wisely to attract the best on the field coaches, not create duplicate administrative positions because we don't want to fire the poor performing administrative AD in the first place. If you want Highsmith then we need to have the balls to replace our AD with Highsmith. Not create another money sapping duplicate administrative position in an athletic department that does not make the huge money some of the other huge public schools do, like those I previously mentioned above. So in conclusion, Highsmith for AD and use money for made up Chief of Staff position to throw 2-2.5 million at Brady or Yost. We complain about the poor performance of the athletic administration and people buy that the solution is creating more money sapping athletic administration positions. The solution is to fire people when they are given every opportunity to perform their job and they repeatedly fail at it. Just my two cents, because I know some people here think there is an endless supply of money here so who cares if we miss spend it which is fools thinking. You want top OC and DC candidates to come here you need money to attract them so spending it wisely is critical.

You clearly have no idea how much entails being a P5 AD. Highsmith is not qualified and probably doesn't want those responsibilities. It'll take him a while just to get up to speed on compliance alone. Use his talents for football and football only.
 
Agree 100 percent.We do not need a bureaucracy to run a winning football program.We need a top notch head coach that gets full support from the AD.I think Blake should be more active with other college AD s in enforcing the recruiting rules that currently the NCAA does not where schools from the SEC buy the top talent.Our Head Coach should be given a fair chance and if he does not work out the Board should strongly consider removing Blake and Manny.

Do you think Blake knows everything about compliance of every sport? You do know The athletic department is already filled with deputy ADs, associate ADs, and compliance officers for virtually every sport that handle those things. The AD basically just gets money from boosters through fund raising campaigns and makes coaching hires, which is why schools like Tennessee and Wisconsin make former football coaches AD and USC made Lynn Swann AD. Highsmith has been executive in NFL organizations he can handle it.

ADs are *** kissers and baby smoochers. You really think Zo wants that life?


Btw Swann only proves my point further. Dudes a failure at AD
 
Yeah leave it to the bureaucrats in the athletic department to create more bureaucratic positions in said athletic department to cover their *** from their incompetence. Meanwhile spending millions on said bureaucrat salary which could go to attract better OC and DC, sounds like a beautiful plan to me if you are a bureaucrat!
 
A chief of staff works for the head coach. It is a role that a variety of teams have.

Norvell hired the FSU chief of staff, it has little
to do with Taggart.

Hiring a guy to run football operations would likely not be called a chief of staff and would be above the head coach, possibly even beyond the control of the AD depending on how it is setup.

People are getting confused (reporters are not helping).

Miami needs a better athletic director and/or a guy focused on football with actual authority and autonomy. Miami would also likely benefit from a chief of staff role being filled. Those two things have next to nothing to do with each other.

LynnSwann doesn't prove your point it proves mine. Swann was never an NFL team executive he was a failed football anchor. Highsmith has a much better resume than Swann. He proves my point that it is just about fund raising and hire the right coaches. Swann hired a drunk coach as head coach at USC, Highsmith won't .

We already have a Director of Football Operations position in our athletic department.

Being PART of a management team of a 52 man NFL roster and managing over a dozen sports, fundraising, compliance, and staffing is completely different skillsets with minimal overlap.

Why the **** do miami fans keep putting unqualified candididates at every UM position and expect diff results.

I love zo at the footbal director position but as AD its just another friends and family lazy move.

I did make a clear point can't help it if you can't see it! By the way we also have a Assistant Director of Football Operations! So let's make up more useless departmental positions.

I agree with your point that we need a better athletic director. That has been my point all along. Hire a good athletic director dont make up more bureaucratic positions that drain budget because you don't want to fire the bad AD. Replace Blake with good AD, use money that would have gone to chief of staff to improve OC and DC salary and we will be way better off.

Listen I get your point that there maybe more qualified people than Highsmith for AD and your right. I use his name because it is who everyone wants but do you think Highsmith would be a worse AD for our football program than Blake?
 
Not reading all that.

Miami needs any extra positions we can get. Period.

Chief. Football AD. Analysts. Nutrition staff. The more the merrier.
