I don’t understand why some people think Miami is such a step down

Honestly if you look at different sites that have ranked the HC jobs, Miami is always in the top 20ish, mostly in the 10-15 range.

In some Miami is ahead of Oregon and in some they are behind, but they are almost always within a few spots of one another…

I mean the knock on Miami is they are cheap, bad fans, facilities( which is a bit of a misnomer) and ( sometimes the stadium)
With the offer and reports of the money they are going to pump in, the biggest negative goes away.

How do people not understand that the Miami job is at least on the level with Oregon?

They took our pipe, pointed fingers and laughed. They built slip n slides, laser tag arenas and go kart tracks, with bands in every happy meal, to tempt our kids.

Cheap, bad facilities, bad fans, no support. Strange pressure to make every former player an honorary coach, big city where people openly talked about giving players money and before it was cool, bad conference, bad schedule...
 
The facilities thing always gets me. Like what do we need to not be average? Indoor practice facility was meh? Are we talking having deluxe theater seats and not super deluxe? Seems like how pretty or ornate a buildout is now counts. Weights are weights.

Any place is made great by the people who inhabit the space currently. The pyramid at Luxor is still amazing yet the people who occupy it aren’t a great people.

If buildings made champions Texas would be winning another title.
 
Honestly, without orange and green glasses in, we haven’t been consistently relevant if comparing to OU in some time. If you were born in 2000 or later, you would not understand the bravado of UM unless you took effort to learn history of CFB. My oldest was born in 2010 and he and his brothers ask why I love this team (I drag them to games each season since I want them to have the same experience that I did when I was a child at the OB). Big picture, we are the far better program. Recent adulthood, we are somewhat of a laughing stock.

Mario won championships here, if not for that and that we are at the epicenter of national recruiting, I wouldn’t expect him to consider us no matter how much money we had to spend. But he did win 2 nattys here and we are the epicenter of athletes. He needs to come home to his family and his U family.
 
If there ever figure **** out at the Gables. Miami is the number one job in college football.

The facilities issue is one that gets used a lot but is simply not the case anymore. Miami’s football facility is on par with most major programs but not quite to the ridiculous level of the biggest spenders.

The administration has been cheap. At least compared to other major programs. It seems like they finally decided to open their pockets but for years Miami was operating on a joke of a budget.

The stadium issue is something that only people who don’t live in Miami or know the program care about. An on campus stadium makes sense at a huge university with 30,000 undergrads in the middle of nowhere with nothing but cheap land everywhere. UM is a tiny campus in the middle of a huge metropolitan city with a small student population. Just finding the land near campus would be next to impossible let alone building an actual stadium.

That's the same old Miami hate at work. Miami is a not sleeping but still quite groggy giant. They know what the right people can build here and they're scared so they'll say anything as propaganda in hopes of it not happening.

Think about it these writers live in places where they’re miserable eight months out of the year and the only thing that’s attractive around Is the 250 pound secretary in the other room. They sit there and look at all these amazing videos and pictures of South Beach and the women in the ocean and think to them selves why is my life so miserable. So they make up things about the school and the job to make them feel better.

Along with this line of thinking people who love college football have a strange view of what it should look like. Miami has a large section of fans that never went to college that bothers people

Top 15 and ahead of Oregon, even after 16 bad years.
Now with a little more support from the school and better coaches, let's see where we go.

To be honest, I don't really care what anyone thinks as long as we're doing good things.

And even if they do build one on the CGHS campus, those same people will stiull say we don't have an on campus stadium. Theyt'll just leave out the word "rental".
 
Because "The U" went from one of the most dominating and feared cultures in sports that put the University on the Map, to a desert wasteland because of eggheads in the tweed suits.

Before those teams, Miami was best remembered for its Institute of Marine Science grad student, Ruth Eisemann-Schier, who aided Gary Krist (a technician in that dept.) in the Barbra Jane Mackle kidnapping. You remember the one, books and movie were made about it, Nixon and FBI Director J. Edgar Hoover were involved to try and find her. There was a boat chase, he came over to Charlotte Harbor and finally they uncovered her after she had been buried in a box for 83 hours up in Georgia.
