Listening to Russillo and Kanell

[cflacane2]

To the OP's point - UM is not an excessively wealthy university. Donna did yeoman's work in the area of fund raising but those monies are primarily dedicated to their medical programs, as they should be.

UM has to be creative in its hiring practices in order to draw the right coach(es) who want to use UM as a spring board for their careers. Again, access to the nation's most fertile recruiting ground needs to be a key point in their coaching evals. The problem was the donna was a pure clintonite - Style over substance at all costs. Her hires and more to the point, her contract extensions have been the program killers.

We will likely not be able to afford a Chip Kelly. He's a known entity. UM needs to focus on the Next Chip Kelly or a guy winding down his career who wants one last hurrah at winning a title. I can think of one guy who comes to mind.

I don't want to go down the road with you regarding overall university finances but am curious if you'd agree with this assessment- Our athletic department (football specific) has been woefully underutilized for decades in relation to profit utilization of a name brand and in general fundraising. Now you can blame that both on the actual university and the AD's but I still believe that there is no good reason why our athletic department isn't "wealthy" enough for the cash-strapped argument to never be taken seriously. With proper oversight starting in the 80's we absolutely should be on par with the USC's of the world by now.

USC enrollment 43k, UM enrollment 16k. Factor in significant gap in alumni those enrollment #'s add up to over the last fifty years and it's easy to see why we won't ever be USC.

LOL this porster is a blatant Gator troll.

Duke has a miniscule enrollment compared to UCF. Who pays more for their basketball coach?

Miami has plenty of money to hire an elite coach. Anyone suggesting they don't is a fool or troll. Whether they WANT to is a different story.

UCF also has nice *** stadium to show for it. Everyone in my family is a gator fan i had to be the black sheep and ride with UM.

They were discussing spots for chip in college. They name the typical places like Texas, USC and finally Miami. They both laugh and RR says " yeah, only if Chip comes as a volunteer". Then Kanell laughs and says " they aren't paying ".

So it's universally known that Miami is cheap.

They also mentioned they haven't talked UM/Fsu game all week . Both agreed it's sad where the rivalry is, and it's because Miami is a joke.

Nothing earth shattering.

Russillo was all about Oregon the last 5 years and is now off that bandwagon as well. These guys talk about flavor of the month. Who cares.

I actually love the show. He thinks Oregon is a great program, they're just down this year. I don't really get the " flavor of the month " comment.


Unlike most radio shows they aren't shock jocks, they pretty much keep it real.

I like DK,he's from south fla and always mentions he wishes miami was back. Pulls for all the South Florida teams.

They both come off as a couple dudes just sitting around talking sports , no agendas or bias. I didn't like Van Pelt, I've became a regular listener since he left.

Saw today too and agree with your analysis of the show although I didn't mind Van Pelt even though he was really thin skinned about the eSECpn bias. Kanell even threw in the "South Florida talent" argument when Russillo was laughing about Chipster coming in as a volunteer. The only part I didn't understand today is when they were talking about Sark at USC being on a hot seat too and Kanell said that Golden must be loving it. I didn't understand the reference and they never followed up on it.

Some heat going Sark's way means not all the media heat going AG's way.

One problem was, the administration would take bowl money for the general fund instead of leaving it with athletics, or so the story went. Reportedly, that's why Schnelly left.

Bob stitt would come to Miami for $1 million but the issue is a good DC will cost $600k -$800k. So the head coach needs to make at least double what his highest paid assistant coach is making.

Stitt is making $225k now as the head coach at Montana. He could be for Miami what Chip Kelly was to OREGON.
