I will get crucified for this but if Scott Frost gets canned would they look at him?

I understand why Ed and Freeze are controversial but why leach and Kiffin?

Leach not seen in that light. But for illegitimate reasons not as high in the opinion of some as he is in mine. Kiffin is a hard no in the eyes of many. Consistently brought up the number of head gigs he’s had in such a short time. I’ve had the privilege of his company on a few occasions several years ago. Concern is maturity as well.

If USc hits a home run and gets The Cincinnati guy it only increases our chances with Cristobal imo.

So freeze is not too damaged to be hired by liberty University?! You’re sitting here trying to tell us that this administration will not go after Hugh freeze because of his past? Liberty University a private evangelical university that was founded by Jerry Falwell Has no problem making that man the head coach of their football program but the university of Miami with everything we’ve been through and everything that goes on in the city and all the shady deals at the board has been accused of having is too good and too high and mighty to hire freeze. This is so ridiculous and ironic that I can’t even anymore

Agree but yes thats what I’m saying.

Im no expert on all the religions but I think the Catholic Church at least would frown upon any medicine or vaccine that used aborted fetuses to create a line of cells to test and develop that medicine or vaccine. But the Vatican I believe already gave moral acceptance on this vaccine so from a legal standpoint, if he is Catholic, doesn’t have much of an argument.

Why any Catholic would still listen to that socialist Pope is beyond me

Here's the part that I can't see from the cheap seats. When FSU couldn't hire a coach to replace Taggart, we all knew it was because of the dysfunctional athletic department and booster organizations. I know we're perceived as crappy, but how crappy compared to them? That determines a lot.

Yeah good call out. This is a sobering reminder that a dysfunctional org can really impact your search. I mentioned it in another thread but firing Manny and keeping Blake = disaster. That's dead man walking status and no coach would want to come here. That's how you end up w/ Norvell caliber coach.

Only path forward is cleaning house and committing yourself to running a successful program at all costs. Even then, I still think it's an uphill battle to snag the top tier coaching candidates.

If we're hoping Jorge Mas is going to come in and fix everything...hooooooo boy. His soccer team is a trainwreck largely due in part to horrible decisions made by management.

This is how we end up with a Chud or Pagano hire. He'll cite the "Miami ties" and "NFL connections" making this a homerun hire.

He got InterMiami on probation for openly cheating in a league where half the teams cheat and they still suck regardless because they went the path of acquiring and hiring "Big splash" names instead of taking the time to understand the league, if not the sport, and doing it the right way.

THIS IS NOT A ONE OR TWO YEAR FIX! I can tell you one of these hot coaching commodities, at least at this point, has NOT been interested in the least. I’d be hesitant as it stands now to trust any that did in fear it’d be another sale job by an underwhelming AG. The feeling is things will change, I’ve said that. But at this moment it’s slim. If it comes down to Chud or some unknown who’s even less qualified than Manny you take your pick, that’s the context I put that in. Don’t like it, don’t like it. I’m telling you that not one of the names mentioned repeatedly on this board as a candidate has been beyond the “eh” response recently.

Did you mean to say 'not been interested in the least' there?

I reckon that's Napier.

Agree on much of what you pointed out. Disagree because Manny’s actions with his staff have revamped the complaining and moaning about adequately paying assistants. Understand, those people were sold a bill of goods were and are not happy. The strife between Manny and those with juice either financially, decision wise, or both is beyond repair. Again based on broken agreements and an arrogance that permeates the buildings. I’m of the opinion almost anyone else reputable and who knows and played the game would have brought in a better staff, that’s hard to argue. Basically the way he does and did business with his staff has made this sticking point a cause for conversation again with those who just don’t get it, but nonetheless have juice. I hope that clarifies just how he’s set us back at a time we need no more objections no matter how fruitless they may be.

If the issue is that the school sold Manny a bill of goods in terms of promising him monies to hire a staff that he didn't really get, why would his staff have issues with him?

This is what us dumb fans have been saying for years , they’re sitting on a good mind. They can use football for their intimate agenda , rather than separating itself. Maybe they’ll figure it out this time.

This. Especially with an expanded playoff coming in a couple years. There is a TON of money to be made for the school in that environment. If we ***** the pooch again with a bad hire and consistently miss the playoffs, oof. Our chance is now.

Thanks for the info Hoya. Always appreciated.

I counter with this. What the heck does Jose mas know about football lol
Click to expand...

Does it matter? The football decisions (hiring a coach, etc.) is just a small part of this. What Mas and the other BOT folks need to do is to treat football as a business. Develop a long term vision/strategy and roll out a tactical plan to get there. Yeah, hiring a good coach is part of it, with a good staff, but it goes beyond that. It's a holistic plan that needs to be developed and I'm sure Mas can provide leadership for that.

If you knew the temperature of responses coming from those we have interest in you’d understand why. Can you not see things clearly? CMR fell to us out of chance. Take a look at what we have now and what we had going back to AG as a short term reference and the staffs those guys have and had. He’s not my guy. As a matter of fact he’s below my preferred few. But when your preferred few respond with “eh” along with a host of others, you take the best guy you can get.

Wake up and realize, regardless of what you hear, what this job is at this point right now. All I hear is “well this guy or that guy would be so fulfilled to turn things around”. Yes that’s true to an extent. But these guys see what’s on the field along with what the athletic department has been. A LB corp that shouldn’t be in a lower level group of 5 team. An OL, and I know people don’t want to hear this, that with few exceptions has zero dog and we’re HUGE misses as far as scouting went. And a DL with a piece or two but completely underwhelming.

And last but not least. Anyone who thinks anyone with any decision making ability cares about this board as a whole needs to seek help fast. Especially caring enough to place a mole in order to drop nuggets on the masses. My information is concrete and I stand by it. My opinion is my opinion. Don’t like it, kick rocks on here and micro manage every single word. We’d be light years ahead of where we are now if we had Chud as opposed to Manny and it wouldn’t be nearly the **** show it is now. At the same time I have other preferences moving forward in the search as that’s possible to have.

You're about to catch a tongue lashing by the guy that lives in a van down by the river in Ft Myers.
