Straight from Flake James himself
If you thought there was a possibility that he wouldn't be, you spend too much time on this board. He was always coming back for (at least) one more season.
Some more "hard" truths:
- Butch will never be back at UM.
- Coral Gables will never permit an on-campus stadium.
- Miami will always have to do "more with less" when it comes to football facilities/coaching budgets.
- Money from the University's general fund/MomentUM campaign will not be used for a buyout.
- Donna Shalala has way less to do with the football program than some posters on this board would have you believe.
And the kicker? It doesn't matter. Miami is still capable of improving from this season. The sky is not falling.
The odds of improving from here beyond a scheduling mirage are astronomical. We are under more of a "cloud" now than ever before.
The biggest problem I have with your statement is that you are right that we must do more with less (and always have), but that is PRECISELY WHY we must move forward from Al Golden who if nothing else has proven that he requires a massive resource advantage to win.
You may be right that we may have to into to next year with all the momentum that 6-7 off 4 straight losses and a lame duck staff provide, but what we don't have to do is support it financially. I'll be boycotting financial contributions to UM until this guy is gone.

That's fine and well, and totally your prerogative. But my message to some of the others on this board is that if you're going to criticize and pine for things, make them realistic, not pie-in-the-sky fantasies that will never happen, no matter how often you post about them here or elsewhere.
You're not happy with Golden? That's fine. I'm not saying everyone should be. There are valid criticisms to be made and we all want better. But there's a difference between rehashing the same impossible, never-in-a-million-years solutions and instead criticizing and looking at what can realistically be done to improve our situation.
improve the situation?
are you insane?

Well I'm not talking in circles about scenarios that are never going to happen, so I'm probably more sane than a good chunk of the posters on this board.

firing an incompetent coach is a scenario that is out of this world?
