Ferman is hinting that Highsmith deal is on the way

[jackbenimble71]

Highsmith, if true, will not play around with this BS. he will fix ****. if this role is true, he would be great at it as he doesn't have to deal with all the other sports and the BS that comes with being and AD like fund raising for all the sports etc.

Highsmith Official CIS Notified!?

 

[Rellyrell]

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

I like it here, so that’s a no for me chief. Lol

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.

The thing is Furrywoman made it seem like it was HIS idea to create the role and that somehow he knew Zo would be interested.

Hey, I hope it happens but it also seems like it could be Furrywoman either trying to speak it into fruition and/or generate buzz behind it.

Anyone nicknamed sperman has my full and unwavering confidence. But for real if true very interesting

Gary Vermin is a joke and a rat, a sellout and a charlatan to UM. One has to really hate UM to pay for his garbage.

 

[SneakyFriendlyCrow]

Our last hope or else all is lost

 

[AK_Cane]

Won't happen, no way he comes here to work under someone. He's in-line to get a way better gig in the NFL.

So no billboard or banner funding needed?

So the background to this idea is the following:

Everything 305 mentioned in a podcast back in late October he had heard through connections that AH was interested in coming to Miami in a football AD type role. all other sports would be handled by other people (or another AD). It was scoffed at by Ferman at the time.

Right after the Duke loss, this very idea came out on the Rivals board. Highsmith would come in as a Football director. He would have full oversight of the football program, including hiring of coaches. Blake James would remain as AD and handle all the other stuff. The sticky question was whether AH would report directly to the President or BOT or if James would be his boss. That didn't seem like it would work. This was when Ferman also suggested Mike Leach as OC....

Everything 305 came on the podcast again last week and tried to have the conversation but Ferman wouldn't let him speak.


Now Ferman is implying it may actually happen.... Or is in the works...

Yall will fall for anything. If you haven't learned by now ONLY BELIEVE SOMETHING IS TRUE WITH MIAMI FOOTBALL WHEN IT ACTUALLY HAPPENS

Players notified.

Bro... I just rolled a fat doobie... you want a hit?

 

[Southcane]

If ever there was a time for Ferman to be correct...

If Ferman is correct (for once) I will go back to be member and pay the monthly subscription fee. I know I know but what can I say I'm desperate for good news.

It isn't just Ferman talking out of his ***. It is a real thing. Actually pretty deep into discussions.

 

[Ethnicsands]

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

Seems unfair.

Now there's a memory of being 17......

 

[TheCaneShow2001]

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

Everyone else is doing it.
