I agree Addazio would be an upgrade and reap benefits. A two-deep, dominating OL would take seasons and recruiting cycles to build, but hopefully, the sight of three Miami OL blocking air is few and far between. The point isn't Addazio, however, but I'll leave this alone. No point in continuing.
How The Baylor Bears Engineered One Of The Greatest Organizational Turnarounds In Sports
The Baylor University athletics department was an organization on the brink. Left reeling after the murder of one of its student-athletes by his own teammate, a deeper investigation exposed what would become one of the most shocking scandals in recent college sports memory. A program already...www.forbes.com
Interesting article about how Baylor turned around its athletic department. Putting aside the gushing praise of Art Briles (this is before the scandal) it raises some interesting points.
They picked Briles because he had shown an ability to do more with less, and the AD realized that the school couldn't just spend it's way into being competitive. Had to come up with a new strategy. I've said before that Miami should have approached its HC hiring in one of two ways. Either get an elite innovator (like JJ or Erickson) or get a phenomenal recruiter (like Davis). If the former, Mike Leach would be the right hire as an innovator and the coach who has more wins against teams with higher recruiting rankings than any coach. If the latter, Cristobal, who appears to be an insanely good recruiter. Diaz isn't exceptional in either department.

And we have an AD who gives the coach complete autonomy. If you're talking about a Schnellenberger, Johnson, or Butch, that's an advantage. In every other case, it's not.
You messing with me here man? Please say your not! Lol
Lol that was 100% sarcasm.
Its a misconception to think that Baylor went from a struggling program to one that was successful simply due to a retrenchment & renewal managerial philosophy. They won because the administration embraced a "win at all costs mentality" by emboldening a coach who was more than willing to break rules. MIA will never again adopt that type of mentality like it did in the 80's. Furthermore Baylor is currently 3a or 3b in football spending in the entire BigXII, and the only schools that are ahead in spending are Texas & OU. If Baylor was in the ACC they would have the highest football spending as a % of overall revenue in the entire conference. Even higher than Clemson & FSU.
Which Big 12 football programs are the richest?
It should come as no surprise that Texas football is the most lucrative program in the Big 12.
To reiterate there is absolutely no comparison between MIA and other private schools in CFB like ND, USC, Baylor, & TCU. Those schools all spend more on football either because they are simply more profitable or because they possess a greater will to field a successful football program. Therefore it is more than obvious that the issues affecting UM football go much deeper than simply hiring a new AD or HC, which btw is already occurring in a turnstile fashion. The issues plaguing the football program have everything to do with institutional & systemic failure. The only people who fail to see that are dyck sucking, biased, delusional alumni of this bankrupt, pos university. Real/True fans who are objective are able to look at things from a macro level and temper expectations by refusing to spread negativity/toxicity because they realize it is counterproductive.
Do yourself a favor and stop believing the BS. Ferman picked up on a quote from Barry Jackson’s article and ran with it. Is it possible for this to happen? Sure. Is it in the works and being negotiated? I don’t believe it is.
He tells me @Ecush is mean .
that isn’t real or going to happen
