Former University of Miami players will be holding a roundtable on Thursday

[ScubaCane]

Who needs a meeting to discuss the state of the program? It sucks, there, meeting adjourned.

 

[SayWhat]

If a tree falls in a forest and no one is around to hear it, does it make a sound?

 

[RealRussellPumps]

I hope this isn't the "big" meeting some of the insider guys have been talking about. What real changes can we expect from this if that is the case?

None. Dog and pony show.

 

[GonzoCane]

Can someone get a pic of them holding the table??.. what kind of table will it be??.. real wood??? Composite??...
You gotta figure granite would be a pain in the butt to hold, even for former football players....
And.. would it be a issue if the table were oval or square??

It’s round. So if King Arthur shows up, I know we’ve got a shot.

 

[Canes2082]

If they’re willing to step in for the buyout I’m all for it…

 

[jerive31]

If they got The Rock to show up and spend some money, that'd be interesting. Otherwise, this is just a PR thing I'm surprised many of our alums would even belittle themselves to be a part of.

 

[Go Canes!!]

Let’s see how much they donate to help cover the buyout.

“We used to run 100 yard sprints after practice” “if you didn’t compete your *** was jumped in the locker room”

Love the former players as much as the next guy, but this just screams a seminar to tell old war stories, complain, and recommend Miami guys for AD/HC.

 

[orange&green84]

Until the administration/BOT holds a round table to discuss the state of the program.. it doesn't matter.

I'm going to sound like a pessimist, but I really don't understand what this is exactly going to accomplish. Blake James needs to be gone, as does Frenk for larger reasons outside of athletics. And we've all universally agreed that Diaz is a symptom, but dude needs to be gone as well. The players don't have the power to remove any of the aforementioned parties.

Having said that, moving forward and hoping all 3 people before mentioned are removed, the first thing that needs to be in place is a solid AD. If they want to go in the direction of Alonzo Highsmith, so be it. But let him make the decision without any type of influence from players, administration, fans, etc. Let it be his decision that you can properly evaluate him on.

 

[Canesmia01]

We have the most useless BOT imaginable

 

[gogeta4]

I don’t want former players involved in making any decisions. Last I heard there was some who wanted Charlie Strong.

man these dudes gonna want Art Kehoe to coach OL again..

 

[423Hurricane]

UM admin don’t currently listen to former players. A 3-1/2 hour meeting between a bunch of them in a couple of weeks ain’t gonna change that.

 

[Notsince1985]

Andy Crosland, Doyle Aaron, Edgar Benes, Dyral McMillan, Andy Atrio, Zev Lumelski

All confirmed

 

[Us Against The World]

The administration needs another public blasting from Herbstriet and Gameday cast, and pretty much any media outlet. UM needs to be embarrassed again to get the ball rolling I’m afraid.

 

[brock]

Fvck that, just get rid of the coach and clean House

 

[mavericksouth]

Please don't tell me THIS is the big meeting.....

 

[ben]

man these dudes gonna want Art Kehoe to coach OL again..

Gary stevens and Kehoe can bring us back to glory.

Also gary stevens and Kehoe:

 

[Luke Caneswalker]

I just want to know their plan of action for fixing the problem.

I come to CIS to read about our issues. I dont need 4 hours of regurgitated stuff i read here.

How will this help bring us back to the glory of their days? I hope thats what this is about.

 

[brock]

Iike someone said, we don’t need old war stories retold time and time again. We need a plan of Action, firings etc
