Here's what I know

All valid points. Very fair.

But what many people refuse to take into account is this. The primary reason why Mario is such a clearcut #1 frontrunner to get the job is NOT that his "philosophy" is so far ahead of anyone else's...

It's that Kiffin and Freeze (and a few others I could name) are nearly un-hireable by Miami. Period.

I realize that 80% of this board wants to argue "stats" and "playcalling" and "big game records" between Mario and Lane...but it's all moot. None of that really matters as much as certain people entrusting the face of the program and an $8 to 10 million salary, and an extra $20 to 30 million in the budget to a guy who doesn't have any blackout drunk/smokin' weed/call-girl/banging co-eds stories in his recent past.

Lane has had 15 years to realize that his immaturity and problematic proclivities will narrow his job choices, but he just keeps doing the same stuff over and over again. Sure, it would have been fun to see what his creative mind could conjure up at Miami...but you still have a majority of posters on this board who are going to act like Kiffin or Freeze lost out on the job for some "football philosophy" reasons. And for the record, I'm much more likely to believe that Freeze has changed his ways, as I highly doubt he is able to do the same stuff he once did now that he is working at Liberty.
What is the downside to freeze or kiffin? Seriously these safe boring *** hires over the past 20 years have made Miami look bad and cost us any semblance of respect. How is freeze or kiffin gonna negatively affect us anymore than that. Who are the stakeholders that stand to lose something? What are the consequences. I just don't buy this goody two shoes ****.

I agree. It’s a major conflict of interest. Amateur hour by the University of Miami. That being said, I’m not the biggest fan of hiring people who went to your same high school but in this case with Zo and Mario, I’ll make the exception.
Does anyone really beleive that people are making recommendations and spending money based on what high school someone went to?
 
Hire announced next week? Not a done deal? I thought it was done and being announced today.

At this point I’m thinking Manny isn’t done for sure and will earn another year with two strong wins.

What about the 20-30 million floor? Is that going to happen or nah?
I haven’t heard anything about an imminent announcement. My understanding is that we are more like a week away.
 
As of this moment, you and him and you and another poster have been unilaterally put on ignore with each other so you won’t be able to see each other’s posts anymore. This should be a win win for all including the Maude’s.
I didn't know you could do that... That's awesome.... Me personally I like wielding the power myself but that's cool you guys can do that...

Which pretty much has always aligned with what many were predicting.

Manny dismissed after Duke, new AD hired shortly after, coach done by second or third week of December

I've raised this argument myself in the past...My version is - Does anyone think the people in charge of how the money is spent or donating the money got to the positions they're at in life by throwing away large sums of cash anytime someone stood on a soapbox screaming "He got money!!!!!!"..???...

Evidently, you don’t know how Columbus boys work. It’s like a underground society. They look out for each other. I don’t think it’s a coincidence it’s happening at the Miami but with Mario and Zo it’s justified.

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.

He was absolved, it should have nothing to do with that, the only thing they could hold it against him for would be optics.
What are the optics of firing James, talking a big game on money is no problem to then retaining Manny? LMAO. I guess our recruiting class will tell us along with the **** bowl we play in. Full steam ahead. Building champions!

It’s new and still be worked out by @Andrew at my request. It’s really a last resort attempt and alternative to infracting and banning otherwise good posters who in part or in total can’t get along and leave things be.

Have you tried it allowing people to ignore Andrew’s trolling… just to test it of course…

Whatever on the timeline. The pool boy story is established fact. My point is that people stating “Liberty U” = “values” are either unaware or dishonest.


I understand, and I didn't say that.

I'm simply pointing out that, beyond Falwell, the university and the town are fairly conservative. What Freeze did previously would be harder to conceal at Liberty. Let's not forget, Freeze got caught because a phone number he dialed on his cell phone came up in a completely unrelated investigation.
