Hernandez taught a class I took at UM about a decade ago. Really nice guy, loves UM, but is far from an alpha. Not what this program needs right now.

I'd take any letter of the Greek alphabet as long as they're a good AD.

Hey, remember when @Go Canes!! called people delusional a few days ago for saying that Daddy Diaz was heavily involved in this **** and putting pressure on the BoT to keep Manolo? Because I sure do.

Dude was saying that it was just a myth.

Wrong on the 15-0 bullshyt, and now wrong on this, too. I’m not surprised. If he was a baseball player, he’d be batting .000.

Is there a fact anywhere in your fantasy conspiracy theory or is the entire basis of your latest circle jerk another TFWIW fabrication heard 10th hand on another site?

Lmao. Grow up dude.

Any and all smoke about Manny Sr or Dimare somehow being drivers in the decision making process are false. I said from the start this time was different and it is. Credit for that goes to both the CONSEQUENTIAL members of the BOT and to Frenk. It can’t be overstated the active role Frenk has played reference his putting trusted and knowledgeable voices around him to make things right.

A fantastic selling job has been done reference Jurich. We’ve assured him it’s his show and the resources he will have will be for to succeed. I can say he has had strong interest from the start when he was reached out to months ago. He also had reservations which seem to have been tabled for the most part. At the same time he’s had to be sold to some of the more influential dead weight that has their hands in the process as well.

The names kicked around by @DMoney have little care or concern for keeping or bringing in “Miami guys”. The nostalgia bs with them ran it’s course a very long time ago. Decades of lazy and incompetent hires are working in our favor.

And last but not least. The best thing that could have happen did when Mullen was fired by UF. It kicked the urgency level into overdrive and softened some of the more change resistant voices who are garnering less and less of Frenk’s ear. I can confirm Frenk and Jurich have spoken and that it went well as far as quelling apprehension on our end. Not to say it’s a done deal but I’d be surprised if based on how well the 2+ hour conversation went.

Your post is quietly reassuring.

A few days ago, I would not bet against the old guard. They have been ******* UM in the **** for 40 years.

But now that there is some reporting that indicates that contractual terms are imminent, so it seems like the vocal minority will not win the day. I was an early skeptic, but as a Deloitte alum, I have been truly impressed with what Echevarria has seemingly done in 2 months, because I know that "Athletics" was not in his portfolio previously. Frenk is still spineless, but between his two delegates, the nouveau riche Trustees, and Kirk Vilma-puppet, there has been a sudden table-turning on the hardliners who have ruled UM for decades.

This is another reason why I have expressed doubts as to Kiffin ever getting into an interview room in Coral Gables. I've met plenty of these Trustees over the past 35 years, and I do not believe they will quietly accept defeat if Jurich gets the AD job. No, they will likely be twice as vociferous for the need to hire a red-flag-less head coach. I just don't see the conservative wing of the BOT allowing a Jurich-Kiffin combo.

I realize that this is a "guess", but it is a guess that has been educated by interacting with UM administration and Trustees for the past 35 years. I'm happy that my old friend and classmate Jose is pushing the Board in a new direction, but sometimes smaller battles are lost in a bigger war.

Would not surprise me at all if the Old Guard's offer is "fine, we'll tolerate Jurich, but then we hire the HC who is happily married, with kids and local family".
 
So we went from a done deal for an AD to there was a “civil war” behind closed doors and it will be a week or so before one is announced, while Manny is still employed by the team? This is all propaganda to say they tried to make changes before once again settling for the status quo.

Do you think anything has changed on the Manny front? Or can we still have confidence he will be gone
