Jennifer Strawley, Like Blake James, Is Unqualified to Be Second in Charge at Such A Prestigious Football Program

[bornagaincane]

Can UM get was than this? I can't imagine. God help us if it can.

You really think we haven’t seen articles like this 10,000 times before?

You think this clown show hasnt been going on for a decade almost 2.

If Manny has such big shots backing him, then they can buy him some 5-star recruits and some experienced assistant coaches.

Set him up to succeed.

Because right now, they've done nothing for him but throw him to the wolves. It won't be pretty for him unless he can somehow turn it around.

And this was a point where I tried to rationalize that it could possibly be a good hire. But, but, but.....they did give this ninja monopoly money to get an OC, and this dude chose Thee Ronald McDonald (sorry O$U) in the flesh. Enos is the D’Onfrio on Offense. To make matters worst, he used that same money to hire the Hamburgular as his D’Coordinator. He then allowed Enos to go full autonomy to piece back the band that went an outstanding 26-36 at his last, and only coaching gig, by hiring Sundae (Butch Barry) & Mayor McCheese (Stubblefield).

Need a top notch S&C staff? Sure, let’s just raid the Temple Owls of the mighty AAC conference by hiring Officer Big Mac (Feeley).

So I can’t necessarily blame the BOT for Manny’s decision, including retaining Banda & Patke. We’ve been ran like McDonald’s w/o the tasty French Fries and multi billion dollar success. Manny had a clear path; I mean, it’s not like he hasn’t been here for four yrs, or “grew up” a Miami fan....so based upon the gas he threw, he knew what a Miami team is “supposed” to look like, yet ole buddy decided to leave the tourist trail and venture off in to the wilderness. And yes, there’s hungry wolves (us as fans, national media, and opposing teams) ready to bite his head off for his arrogance.

Plain and simple, Donna Shalala is responsible for this entire mess. At the time she started at Miami, she inherited the best football team ever assembled and due to her being a cheap fvck allowed us to fall to where we are now, but you'll have to here all the morons on here talk about how great she was due to their political agenda.

Too many politicians or those w political aspirations running this program.

The poster who got banned made some of the most astute comments here in years. Miami has had two brief stretches of football excellence. He condensed them more than proper. Let's say 1980-1994 and 1999-2005.

Donna Shalala arrived midway during the second one. The simplistic morons who blame Shalala for the downturn somehow focus on the two brief stretches, and not the totality. It is the genius of spotlighting the outliers while ignoring the rule. Obviously that tendency was going on at Grassy and somehow nobody knew enough to laugh at the appliers. I was in hysterics when I joined this site and saw it playing out here. The Oafs of Outlier were being cherished.

The University of Miami never made sense as a football powerhouse. It was always going to be as short lived as breathtaking. I think my age helped me understand that because I was just old enough to follow the season-long pageantry surrounding the 100th anniversary of the sport in 1969. All year long the megapowerhouses were detailed, with fascinating stories I had never heard. Print and broadcast. The University of Miami never earned a peep or paragraph.

I always focus on big picture so I always remembered that toward 150 years. If were weren't relevant at 50 years or 100 years then there was no reason to believe we'd be sitting at the big boy table at 150 years.

I'll always cherish our fluke dominant years, particularly since my alumnus parents were able to see and savor all of them.

Comon theme.
This university is incable of conducting a proper coaching search.
Comon theme in all those five coaching searches LAZY LAZY LAZY LAZY SHORTSIGHTED SHORTSIGHTED.
We are finally getting to see why....**** like this.

"Jennifer Strawley: UM’s Deputy Athletic Director, Chief Operations Officer, and Chief Woman Administrator, is second in charge in the Miami Athletic Department and was the manager and overseer of the 2015 coaching search."

Unqualified people conducting a search for people they have no skill set to evaluate.
They dont know who to interview or what to ask them.

Grear article

I agree, but how did a focus on diversity and inclusion lead to these coaching hires?

Coker was promoted by at the behest of players like Reed and Dorsey. Shannon was a misfire, but I don’t believe he was hired because he is black. He was a former Cane player, respected and then-current DC, and thought to be capable of cleaning up the program. He did some of that, but wasn’t a good coach. Golden and Richt were generic, one thought to be a young, up-and-comer, the other a seasoned successful veteran. Diaz wasn’t hired because he’s Cuban. His rehire was a knee jerk reaction.

The issue is not social engineering, it’s just not having a person with in charge with a background in running a successful athletic department.

It probably has more to do with the overall athletic department.
I think the focusand support there is in the women's programs.

 

[Torocane]

Of course they are, because that's how these things work.

You simply try to discredit anything good that the source of the anger has accomplished as a way of making them look incompetent.

Well...if you believe that he is part of the problem...yes you point out the negstive because you don't want anyone to try to justify keeping him.
I think he is a big part of the problem.

 

[Torocane]

You’ve more than proved my initial point.....

so basically ANY & EVERY good thing that happened he doesn’t get credit for & didn’t have anything to do with it, and all the bad that has happened is all his fault. Seems reasonable. LMAO

Honestly I don't know why you started with "I dont like Blake"

You’re right about outliers. “Black swans,” is what we call them.

I would just point out one thing - Florida has grown tremendously since the 1960’s. Prior to 1960, the state had less than 3 percent of the nation’s population. Today it has nearly 7.

Those macro trends matter.

He is spot on about Strawley. How do you go from Columbia an IVY school to being number 2 at the U?

LOL at Columbia. It's legendary for being the WORST Ivy League football program. Don't know about the last few years, but it's always been a joke. One more example of our BOT hiring someone from an Ivy League background because we are "the Harvard of the South". LMAO! Probably the worst university in the state at this point. The only thing Ivy League about this rathole is the matching tuition.

 

[Stylie]

Beginning to wonder if Andrew works in the PR department at UM. How can he defend any of this?

 

[mirednmediocrity2]

Guys think about it who ultimately makes decisions on which direction a company goes.think about when we were winning bringing in millions/billions into the university and local economy.not one dime in the eighties or nineties went into upgrading the athletic facilities.every ncaa bylaw decision was aimed at the football and baseball program.this goes higher than blame question is are we fans powerful enough to uproot the problem.all the things we've done for 19 years hasn't got the message across.we need find that solution that gets it accross.ask a sen or rep to investigate it see if there's some kind of corruption high up at the university.because the way the athletic program is ra n seems like there is.

THIS!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
