Ferman reporting the money is now there to get Mario

Between the leaks and Blake's response to them last night there definately is a power struggles going on. One being Zo is coming in to right the ship and get things together and Zo is one of Manny candidates to come in and assist in a chief of staff role under James. Don't know about he 7 mil story but there is definately infighting going on. Think Blake leaked in order to get ahead of the Zo knews and control the narrative.

I feel like Shalala still has a lot of pull within the UM program and is force feeding James and Strawley, etc on the BOT and admin. UM doesn't want to disappoint her since she put a lot of money and time into the school being President here. Otherwise, how else can you explain the straight buffoonery going on in Coral Gables where only us fans from the outside can seemingly see what is totally obvious to everyone else outside the program?!

Sweet Jesus, if this isn’t the post of the Day, I don’t know what is.

Take a bow, sir.

He just lost Josh Herbert and he bleeds orange and green. None of this matters with the right football leadership in place. This season was a disgrace and I’m sure stakeholders are taking action. Significant changes must be made to our football program.

It's going to cost a fortune to get Mario.. buyout is $8 million..
Oregon offered Taggart a raise to like $4,2 million a year for 5 years, so $21 million, they will do same or more to keep Mario
FSU gave Taggart $30 million for 5 years to sign him and it was all guaranteed or 95% of it..

Mario isn't going to take less than Taggart and you gotta add in Manny's buyout..

So your talking around a $40 million dollar NUT to drop to get Mario and a huge Taggart like buyout to fire him..

You are paying a coach regardless who it is, so your $40mm number is double counting salaries

$8mm Oregon buyout plus Manny’s buyout around $7-$8mm.

Agree with you 100%. Just hoping the big pocket donors/BOT members who want Zo to happen win out over the Blake James crew. We will see how it plays out over the next week.
 
What if by some curse Mullen to cowboys and Mario to UF?
Saw on ESPN cowboys low key interest in Mullen

I don't want my comments to misconstrue things. Mario is NOT going to be the HC next year at Miami. But he will listen if/when Manny is fired after year 2 and if he hears and is promised in writing the things he will demand beyond compensation.

What I don't get though is why not move now, If we even think this is a possibility? It's pretty much a guarantee that Mario will get a better contract after this season, which will make it much more difficult just a year from now.
This is the type of stuff Miami constantly does to shoot themselves in the foot.

I haven't paid attention to Manny's buyout number, so your $7-8 mil is news to me..
So your telling me James paid $4 mil to get Manny, then gave him a $7-8 mil buyout after year one and the BOT approved this for a rookie HC? Jesus.. This Manny deal was one of the dumbest football moves since Ditka traded away his whole drat to get Ricky "Blunt" Williams..

if their plan is to bring in mario at some point, then yes i agree. just fire manny and bring in mario if hes a guarantee to accept. theyd need some sort of near absolute that hed accept if offered though if youre gonna move on from ur HC after a season with no real nice candidates available (this was before hirings were made).

edit -- im talking miami realistic candidates and the pool available to you when youre miami and you just axed your brand new coach bc he didnt win in year 1.

Thats not what it is like at all. It would be like growing up your entire life in a nice city and getting your first few jobs there. You spend a couple years in the outskirts of an even nicer city, but then come back to your original city for another 8 years working. Then for the first time in you life, at the age of 43 you get whisked away to a schithole for a few years and then you spend another few years at a somewhat nicer schithole. Lots of people would "blow it up" to not have to live in a schithole.

if you don’t care about the club scene then a lot of these schitholes are nicer to live in than Miami.
