Mike Ryan/AD Update - 12/2

Advertisement
Thanks for summarizing. Not sure what is taking so long with the AD hiring though, Blake James was fired on 11/16. We are approaching 3 weeks without an AD.

Anyway, I'm fine being patient if we get a big boy AD and Mario. I think if we get into next week with no AD and Manny still as our coach, I'll be concerned.
This is where I’m at

I get why people are freaking out given our track record

To me, if the dominoes don’t fall after Oregon plays their final game then I’m going to start getting concerned
 
The only thing I'm slightly bothered by here is Mike Ryan saying Rudy was supposedly Team Nunez. This is the same Rudy that was retweeting tweets that Epstein is trying to block the program from improving and getting to where it needs to be....and then Turnkey is supposedly like "Chill, Rudy. That dude you like ain't qualified for this job at all!".
 
Mike Ryan/Lebatard and David Samson discussed the following today:

- AD search likely to take another week (sigh)
- Feldman will probably be the person that will break Mario news
- Mike cares about accuracy with his info and wants to elevate the program.
- Firm is not leaking any names. Leaks are on Miami end. The firm has a lot of power due to Frenk relying on them heavily.
- Samson believes that Miami didn't need a search firm for this position but helps with the competing factions at play (Epstein crew vs Mas group)
- Frenk will make final call. Leaning heavily on Rudy Fernandez (#1) and Echevarria (#2).
- Epstein is toothless but is doing his best to make Miami look like a circus with his leaks and Epstein is pro Status quo.
- Rudy was team Nunez (Columbus crew preference) but search firm didn't give a favorable recommendation. He wasn't up to their standards.
-Eddie Nunez broke up with Miami before they could break up with him.
- Eddie Nunez overplayed his hand.
- Lemonis is anti Manny and anti search firm and anti Status Quo. Wants Mario here.
- Mario knows what can be done here especially if he has all of the support in place that he wants.
- Samson is ok with giving the power to Mario. It's the way college sports is headed. Whoever the AD is should just worry about the other sports and let Mario have the power on football.
Since they are doing it right this time (no quick fix), I can understand another 4-7 days. In some respects I feel bad for the players, recruits, and even Manny. But getting a quality coach and AD is worth waiting a few more days.

If you listen to Bruce enough you know when he tips his hand.

I've felt Bruce knows Mario will take the job for a minute, considering how much he's skirted around Miami's AD search and Coaching situation. Bruce would have a lot more to say if he could...and it's not because he doesn't know.
There is a YouTube clip where Feldman was on with Cowherd, who asked Feldman about Kiffin to Miami. Apparently, Cowherd and Joy Taylor have been pushing for this, feeling Kiffin is a good fit. Unsolicited, Feldman brought up Mario and that he would be the best choice. Cowherd asked if Miami could afford Mario, to which Feldman said he did not know, "is The Rock going to bring money out?" Start at 12:55.

Yep. And Rudy was on Team Epstein three years ago. He's definitely the "political" one in the Echevarria-Fernandez pair.

Exactly. It could be tomorrow. He didn't say "no sooner than next week".


What, you don't enjoy seeing random porsters freak out when they misread English syntax and grammar, while utilizing poor reading comprehension skills?

It's what this board was built on. @Andrew and @DMoney would like to have words with you...

Yeah man... Doesn't take me long after coming back to remember why I take breaks from this place. Again, I consider myself a mope, but damnit if some of these people don't seem to love being miserable for no ******* reason.
