Manny vs. Blake

I think we’re going to need a really good AD if we are going to get a higher level Head Coach. No way any of them will come work for Blake, especially after this. That new AD is not going to want to be tied to a football coach hiring decision made by someone else anyhow so we really need to fix that first IMO.

One hundred percent agree. If UM cleans up the Athletic Department and commits resources they can attract a higher level coach. If not, we are gonna be stuck relying lesser coaches or having to take flyers on unproven ones.

If Blake went on his tour by his lonesome, canning him is essential. If the new dream team that’s been assembled came up with that play, you have to be concerned even if Blake goes. It’s like bad ownership in pro sports.

The problem is and always has been the BOT.

Blake and Manny have to go. But the rot inside Miami started way before Blake or Manny.

We’re gonna need to start calling out specific BOT members in a public way.

Just my gut feeling: Blake is gone no matter what happens down the stretch.

Manny might buy himself another year if he wins out, but a new AD would have to make that decision AND Mario would have to say no.

Am I warm, @Cribby?

Everything I hear has been both are done. I guess there’s always a small chance things change but they want big changes. Keeping them would be the opposite of the direction they supposedly want to go.

As always, appreciate the response.

Part of me thinks he’ll have a chance if he wins out, but I don’t think that’s going to happen so it’s a moot point.

What benefit did Blake James get? Besides saving a month of his time searching for a qualified HC.

Way before now in hiring him. I’m sure there were people it pleased at the time (notwithstanding others it ****ed off) and I think they were in it together so there was commonality of purpose. Looks like Blake cut the cord in a miscalculated way that SHOULD finish him.

That's my guess as well. Snake is a political creature. He probably felt that partnering with the Manny Diaz Sr. political sect was a good move for his job security. Then he miscalculated the teams recent success.

Both are gone but Blake tried to save his job and banking on manny losing these two weeks. Manny didn’t and Blake is even worse Bc no one else would ever work for him

If Mario says no and I think he will, what’s their backup Bc we know they don’t have a backup plan

OK, but does Manny winning really make Blake look bad? I'm going to say…no.

All I'm praying for is no extension. It has been the bane of this program for two decades now. Extending bad coaches.
 
The Manny slurpers can’t use the excuse that the Mich St loss doesn’t matter cause they’re a top 5 team while simultaneously pushing for Manny to have more time.

The evidence of a quick turn around is too large. Manny’s fate has to be sealed and he gon’
