Hes in a real bad spot, if he fires Manny that means his experiment failed. He failed. If he doesnt fire him the noise gets louder and the more focus he gets. Hes in a lose lose.

Part of the reason Manny hasnt been fired is that there is no one in the Athletic Dept., from Blake on down, that has a clue about sports/football. Remember that the AAD for football is none other than Jen Strawley. So for example, who should the interim coach be? Does anyone think Blake or Jen have a clue?

Also, the reason so many BOT's like Blake is because he has been doing what they want. We focus our anger at frustration at Manny and Blake, but it really should be at a BOT that effed up the hiring of the school President (a Harvard guy for the Harvard of the South), plus multiple putrid AD's and head coaches.

We will have to forever thank ESPN for collectively squeezing the BOT's balls in public to make them care.

Yeah, if I win the powerball (first ticket I've bought in five years), dj, dwin, tad foote, empirical, rva, relly, jjb, cribby, andrew, et. al., are going to join me at hard rock stadium in one of those luxury suites and we're gonna party like our lives depend on it.

(No wives or girlfriends). ;)

I might donate enough money so that JJB can be the one to deliver the news Blake James is fired.

It'll look something like this:


 
One thing is a given.

Mack Brown isnt a fan of how Manny screwed his defense at Texas, and Brown revels at beating the snot out of Manny. If Diaz is still around for the UNC game, that will be the Golden/Clemson coup de gras and the end of the line for CMD.

The new rumor from a guy posting on the Flo show last night that says he has a inside source is now-Diaz moves to Football AD and the coaching search is underway and Blake keeps his job as AD but no Football duties. That way Diaz is still on salary and no buyout. Trouble is who wants to work under Diaz so i hope this is not true.

And this is why Flo can't be trusted.

Yeah, the ****e is so bad that we are going to replace a head coach halfway through a 5-year contract...but not so bad that we would fire him...just reassign him...and keep the AD who hired him...

Yeah, Flo's "inside source" is a vial of crack...

Some dude posted that in his live chat. It wasn’t endorsed at all by Flo. I don’t know if Flo has sauces or not, but this rumor doesn’t tell us either way

Why not fire Blake and make Manny the dam Ad. One thing we know is Manny is dam good in the off season. He has won the off season national title every year hes been here. lol . He obviously has the gift of gab which im sure he learned from his father. Speaking of his father im would assume that would really help put Manny in the right circles for fundraising as well. Also Manny has shown hes very good at promoting just look at things like Paradise camp and the BBQs he put on. From all accounts the kids loved these events and I think that would translate into throwing fundraiser events.

With all that said Its just bad timing and it would never work. Cant imagine him not being ****ed he got let go as head coach. But **** he might want to be an AD.

Yes I know it wont happen so you dont need to blast me. Just tossing **** around thats all.

He makes some bad hires.
 
Clean house including Ed Reed and no Mario or they are still not serious about winning. The fact that Mario is still talked about on this board after consistently losing games he should win while playing in a ****** conference shows the level of desperation the program has sunk to.

When we decide that a yes man is not necessarily the best choice, but a tough hard nosed football mind, that may ruffle feathers, then we may be on our way back. Coaches following the PC/SJW nature of the school have had players take on their persona and have made for soft teams on the field.

WTF, better option. Why not thank both for their service to the University of Miami, let them pack their things, then politely escorted from the building and evoke their badge privileges?

It's not even the fact that they lost to MSU.....it's how they lost. And how they looked against teams.

its frustrating because its ground hog day over and over: missed tackles, alignment issues, development issues o. line mishaps, dropped passes, penalties, special teams disasters, talent shortcomings that haven't been address in years. Good grief, if we were just a solid fundamentally sound football team we would win 9-10 annually in this weak *** Coastal. Manny's best defense was sprinkle with Golden recruits, and the transfer portal has been a life saver.

Winning brings everything: more $$, more merchandise sales, more season tickets sales, etc, etc, which means, oh yeah, more $$ for the school.

Correct, just think back to the Notre Dame game, game day here ( free pub to the U), stadium pack to the rafters, electricity in the air : we flash, which meant $$$$. Then just see this last Thursday. If you are on the BOT, what other proof do you need, you couldn't even draw students to a prime time event in Miami?

You right. We should just bring Saban back to Miami. After all, who could resist taking over a program who has went 113-82 the last 15 years? That's a whopping .579 winning percentage! **** AF.
Losing record against P5 schools but we got turnover chains!

You misunderstand. Flo didn’t say that. Some guy who was watching kept insisting he heard that. Flo actually laughed at first and told the guy he hadn’t heard anything like that.

Idk what his connections are- but from the couple of episodes I listened to he doesn’t present his OPINION as facts. And he frequently admits he doesn’t know stuff.

He doesnt seem worse than any other Canes site.

If you are not going to have an on campus stadium or a stadium closer to on campus and the team sucks, my a$$ is not taking free thickets to get on a 45 minute bus ride to watch this clown show.

My a$$ is gonna be at some establishment looking at some a$$ while trying to perfect my Urban Meyer finger test.
 
How connected & how right or wrong is Billy Corben?

I am not asking whether you like him or not. Take that out of the equation if you can, please?

Is he legit connected that he basically post anti-Miami stuff on line (admin doesn’t care about sports. They don’t have the money. Blake is not going anywhere. Etc, etc).

Why does it seem that the school doesn’t care what he says (it’s more viceral & been saying it for longer) vs ESPN? Is it because ESPN owns/partnered with ACC network, which is the cash cow for Miami right now?
