If I were in charge, BOT members with athletics responsibilities would lose their seats. The entire athletic department - from Blake to Stawley to the kid that runs the copy machine.... they would all be canned. Every last coach would be fired. I would make everyone come in on Christmas Day.... and I would fire everyone on that day with no severance. "Merry Christmas, ********."
The ONLY thing that can save Hurricanes football from the **** mess it's in is a complete *****.
How would I recruit?
February to September would be "South Florida season." I would focus all of my attention on South Florida kids,. We usually know about the ones who want to be here early on.
After October 1st, ANY SOUTH FLORIDA KID not committed to UM at that time gets their offer pulled. Period. No exceptions. Coaches will no longer recruit them or waste any time on them.
October to February would be all about NATIONAL recruiting. Coaches are going all around America to recruit the 4-5 stars at positions of need.
Oh, and my administration would play the bag game. And when I play, I play to win. I'm not dropping bags on local kids, because locals talk too much with the twittering and whatnot. But I'm dropping bags on local coaches and high school admins. I want them in my pocket.
And I am dropping bags all day long on players like Flowe and some OL from the midwest.
Anything less than 15 four/five stars per recruiting cycle would be considered a fail.
And we would have a much bigger scouting and recruiting department. I want to know about kids, especially local kids, before any other school.
And I want to know what the holes are in my own roster BEFORE the season begins. We should have known our OL was garbage, and we should have known Baxa was garbage, BEFORE the season started. And we should have fixed it.
Scholarships need to be pulled, and kids need to be held accountable for sucking. More talented recruits need to be brought in to fill the gaps.
