Most fans in the stadium and most eyes on TV. It's actually good marketing if you take the emotion out of it.

Yes, good "marketing" if your business model is to undermine recruiting, embarrass the team, and make UM fans seem like more of a joke than they already are considered nationwide.

1. we are not improving our image as fans anytime soon and never will
2. recruits will bail anyway with more mediocrity
3. team will not take offense as they know why their results have been mediocre

We can do everything we can to rip the bandaid off now or do you prefer to slowly pull it off with Al doing the same for another 2-3 years?

Your point is valid.

but it ain't exactly helping recruiting either in a year where miami is limited on amount of games they can give tickets to kids for.

Recruits will bail that much quicker knowing what little fan base there is is so childish and unsupportive of the team. Trayvon Mullen's tweets are a perfect example of how many recruits and players view the antics of the ridiculous U "fans." The team most certainly will take offense as despite the BS about how the coaches have "lost" the team, every quote, including unsolicited quotes, from players have been not just neutral or positive, but extremely supportive and positive about Golden.

I'm on board with 99% of your posts, but could it possibly be both?

At first I was more in line with you but I've changed I think. The one thing besides the OB Massacre that I never could forgive a Randy for was the way we rolled over for FSU at home that year. I've just never been so disgusted in a teams preparation or attitude, not even Golden vs lousiville. Last couple years we've been outgunned but we have FSU all we physically had, despite our horrendous coaches. At first I thought the banner could be a detraction, but it also could be a motivator. I dunno. I'm all for being cautious with recruiting but if he gets fired, we are going to have some unrest anyways. If I was Golden and I saw that banner before we played FSU, the competitor in me would have everything clicking on all cylinders, even if we are still vastly outgunned.
 
I really cant believe ppl are actually donating money to have a fire Golden banner up DURING the FSU game. U have got to be kidding me. Ppl wonder why we cant get a stadium, well maybe its because we have crappy fans like this, that do dumb ****. Our biggest game of the season and your going to bring negative attention to our program like that.
I guess u minus well show all the recruits that will be at the game or watching it what bad fans we have so they arent let down when they aee actually here. There is no positive outcome of having this banner.

Btw, this is coming from someone who thought Donofrio should have been fired last yr (and Golden if he didnt want tonpart ways). But the difference is im not being stupid about it...
/rant over.
 
Were you guys willing to support a fire Golden banner during the NCAA investigation? Even if youre not happy with Golden, a banner isnt gonna help anything. How about yall use that money and attend some games?You guys are horrible.

Maybe just maybe we as fans let the process run its course THIS SEASON without gutting our own team at home before the 1st snap. Shalala will be out. Guaranteed the new hire will take a close look at our coaches. Too much money being lost fielding teams that don't boost tv ratings.
 
This is so F'ing Stupid! It accomplishes nothing and hurts UM. I remember the same bull****z was done with Butch Davis. Thank God the Administration nor Butch pay any attention to the lunacy from a small group of ungrateful so called fans!

Dumbasses!

Would be really funny if we somehow won all of our games from now until FSU and the banner is flying over a top 25 inner conference rivalry match up in primetime. Well not funny, pathetic.

This is why you wait until the Duke game to judge the season. Nothing is lost yet.

We will lose recruits regardless when the change is made. Cut bait sooner than later as you don't retain coaches to salvage recruiting classes.

The banner will not be what hurts the Miami program.

It will be a massive embarrassment, to be sure, but the program's decline over the past ten years has been a massive embarrassment.

No. What has hurt the program is that the Administration and BOT have not performed due diligence in acquiring a competent coaching staff.

If the BOT wants to avoid yet another double embarrassment - getting our doo-doo pushed in by FSU, and THEN suffering the embarrassment of having a banner fly over during the FSU asswhipping they'll certainly put on us - then maybe the BOT needs to bust a move PRIOR to the game.

Anyone really think all those recruits will remain steadfast after UL, Nebraska, NC, VT, and god-only-knows what other losses we'll suffer?

Come on, THIS was Golden's Year! We're going to lose recruits anyway. Time to bite the bullet and make a change.
 
God bless this Danny Vazquez guy





LMAO @ the trogs doin a 180 between the Lousville game and FAMU because we beat a glorified highschool team.



Yall are some ******s of epic proportions.
 
The Duke game would be the most appropriate time as we will most likely be coming off another nationally televised crucifixion by the hands of Nebraska and will also probably be getting killed to death by Duke at that point in time to boot. The banner would have full effect in this extremely plausible scenario.
 
If fans want to take an even more active approach to torpedoing a program than not showing up to games, flying a banner like this during the FSU game is just the right idea

recruits will take immediate notice and so will their families and high school coaches
