He 'appreciates your passion'? He probably thinks you're a nut job.
Well, if he thinks I'm a nut job, he'll sell 11 season tickets next year.
Care to paste the last email you sent?
Mr. James-
I emailed you on numerous occasions last year regarding Al Golden. All of my emails were respectful, as this one will be, though I never received a response from you, or one of your interns.
My family has had season tickets since the early 1950s, but we gave up our season tickets after last year. We will not renew until Al Golden is fired. We will not donate to the Hurricane Club until Al Golden is fired. My father, who has been going to games since he moved to Miami in 1980, met your sister at a medical / drug company conference in Chicago last month. When she heard we had given up our season tickets, she was nice enough to offer us seats in your box at Sun Life. He politely declined, saying he would not be back until Al Golden was fired. I have been going to Hurricane games since I was 5, in 1984. I live in Tennessee, but had been going to 1-2 home games every year, and at least one road game every year. I will not be going to a game this year. I was offered free tickets to the game this past weekend in Tallahassee. I declined. I lived in Tallahassee for 5 years in the early 2000s, and wore a Miami hat or shirt at every opportunity. I am now embarrassed to wear one in public.
These are the fans you are driving away the longer you keep Al Golden. You recently said that you would evaluate Al Golden at the end of the season. This below is why you cannot wait that long:
31-24 overall
26-24 vs. FBS / I-A Teams
19-22 vs. Power 5 / BCS conference teams
16-17 ACC
0-12 vs. teams who finished ranked
11-16 vs. teams who finished over .500
9-16 vs. Power 5 / BCS conference teams that finished over .500
10-12 on the road
3 of the 10 were vs. South Florida and Florida Atlantic
4 of the 10 finished the season with a winning record
Best,
