Let's say

[Dingaan1828]

Any competent AD would be working on a short list that he compiled weeks ago.

OMG, what did I just say? We are fvcked.

 

[whoopingcane]

Blake James' Short List:

1) Al Golden
2) Me

 

[canezhonkey]

Every AD has their short list and for as much as some of you hate Blake James you can bet that he certainly has his own short list

Sadly, it probably looks like this:

That's awesome! Great work

 

[CANE4LIFE]

Think so??? I really doubt it. Odds are Goldie bolts and BJ is left figuring out who, how much, when and it ruins recruiting for this year... I seriously doubt he will be ready. Please prove me wrong!

THIS.

I actually don't think James has a flucking clue what he is doing. He doesn't have a short list of anything. He's a yes man, PR guy and fundraiser. He was not brought in to manage a powerhouse athletics program. He was brought in to be a glorified secretary and spokesman for Shalala.

If by some miracle of God someone did hire Golden away, these idiots would go out and hire another "consultant" and pay him 50K to come up with a list of names that any moron that follows college football could have come up with.

Yep. You watch Alvarez's presser? He talked about having a short list and that he always has a short list. He's a grizzled football guy - a perfect kind of AD.

 

[D.O.C.]

Are you being serious right now?? Go to Bloguin which is a Wisconsin Badgers Blog Spot. They posted a poll last night about who should be their next head coach...80% of their fans want Al Golden and they are pushing hard for Al Golden. They really think he's getting a raw deal w/ us. The margin wasn't even close compared to other candidates. My friend and co-worker is a former Badger and I asked who we wanted and he said UNEQUIVOCALLY AL M'FIN GOLDEN. I asked him why, since he knows I'm a Canes fan, and his exact words were...."He uses his style down in Wisconsin and we're instant winners. He knows Big 10 football and we need a true Big 10 guy who understands the culture of Big 10 football. That's a lot of fans sentiment regarding Golden up in Wisconsin.

You were saying?

 

[Jedi Master Cane]

For Golden to bolt someone of significance would have to want him.

Sorry....but there simply isn't another administration as incompetent as ours out there. I don't think the Colorado State's of the world are going to be willing to give Golden a good salary plus pay his buyout.

Root for us to go 0-11 next year....that's what it's come down to. **** everything.

 

[capefearcane]

Did James hire coach L? If so, Plus 1 in my book!!!! Great hire....

Actually coach L hired himself. Sent his resume in (to Donna I believe). Wanted to move to Miami and wanted a shot at the ACC.

And besides, Eichorst was AD at that time...not BJ

SMH

Paging TedHendricksOffspring!

He has his list. If this has traction after a few days, he'll get active with it.

Blake and the admin won't do **** IMO. They welcomed him back with open arms when he left for a few days during the height of recruiting season. Then try and tell us how committed Golden is to the program.

Golden wants out, fans and boosters don't want him. Admin, AD, etc are the only ones keeping him here.

When Golden came back from Penn State-gate, he got a verbal reaming from President Shalala that made the Earth move. Blake was skipping happily as a blissful puppet.

You just said it right there. "Golden wants out." He wants out bad enough that if offered the Wisconsin job he would take it in a heartbeat.

So she reamed him, was ****ed at him, then he puts up a beyond miserable season and she and Blake support him now?

I'm not sure I even buy that any of the admin wants him gone anymore. This is incompetence at its best.

There's so much more involved but the money and indifference is why he still has his job.

Seems to me, they like Golden.

And that's all that matters.

They've (BOT & Admin) decided against entering the College football arms race, and will keep their "good guy" coach, who's a good face for the program and will graduate kids. And hopefully, he'll eventually get good enough at his job to make Miami football relevant, again.

But if not, they'll keep collecting ACC checks and root for Coach L to take enough attention away from the football program for it to be ok.

President Shalala is no fan but she has checked out for the year. The decision was left up to Blake James who didn't have the spine to make the move.

Everything else is true.

Can't believe Shalala hired this moron. I'm sick of this garbage.
