Ferman is hinting that Highsmith deal is on the way

[Handsome Squidbum]

At this point I hope for any news. I hope Gary is correct.

Can you post anything substantiating the alleged "hint."

Creating a role specific to football makes a ton of sense. It’s basically removing James without having to fire him.

Why not just fire him? That's what most schools would do.

 

[QuattroCane]

I’ll put up a lifetime ban to anyone who wants it that’s this never happens. Ridiculous.

 

[AlphaMarshan]

I have it on good authority that I am in the process of sealing a 3-year deal as our next OC, wish me luck.

I don't think anyone is assuming that he would be brought in as AD. Despite the rhetoric, Blake James is actually pretty good at the other stuff. AH would be here to run football.

Actually that is what people are assuming... That rumor a few weeks back was just about Highsmith becoming AD ... I don't believe it and you are correct about James... I just wonder when these rumors come up if people really think it through or just really let blind fandom consume rational reasoning...

Because he is actually pretty good at a lot of things in his job description. You people want to bring in Michael Irvin to be the AD without realizing what an AD actually does.

Ferman referenced it on his weekly podcast Tuesday as something that is being discussed with the administration and that Highsmith is Interested as a football only GM role. He felt it had a “reasonable” chance of furition. Since I don’t have a subscription to his site I’m unsure if Ferman elaborated further later.

Waiting for Ferman to confirm.

I think Cleveland will clean house at end of the season. So I wouldn't be surprised if Highsmith was asking if there was interest. Win win

 

[moshated305]

Isn't he in line for an NFL GM job? Why would he come here to work under Flake James?

You wouldn’t have to do much to be better than what we have now.

 

[Empirical Cane]

Hmmmmmm....

IF true....

Blake focuses what he is good at (i.e. EVERYTHING not football)...

Highsmith can focus on...well...football...

Gives BoT and Blake axe man to send Manuela packing next year...

AND puts pressure on Blake while Highsmith gets "on the job training"...

hmmmmmm

 

[Odin]

No real AD would allow something like this to happen but then again Blake is not a real AD.

That’s why this is hard for me to believe. He’ll be an NFL GM soon, if not next season

Yes he came out and said Mario is about to sign a huge extension so he is out, but AH is in the works

 

[TheMatador]

If it doesn't happen I will sue the university.

Seems like Manny would need to be fired before any reference to Mario would even be relevant.
