There are plenty of ways to "support" the HC public relations wise without being effusive in doing so... the fact he supported him publicly isn't what made me throw up in my mouth, its "how".
As to the other points about Blake James lap-dog demeanor as our AD, care to comment? I was simply pointing out the ineffectiveness of our ADs along with administration, and responding to the claim that Blake james didn't hire Golden-- which I never asserted. Next?
To me, he has seemed to do more than the two prior to him. There has been a lot of advancements in some of the facilities for the football team under his watch. I'd be able to judge him more effectively based up on who he hires to run any of the athletic teams. Now the administration is an absolute joke. Signing away the Orange Bowl is nearly unforgiveable. Never opening the pockets also hurts this team. All of those can't be pinned on an AD. Especially one who has been the AD for two years. Just my opinion.
Signing away the OB IS UNFORGIVEABLE and the Single Worst thing to ever happen to South Florida sports
I'll never understand why some fans continue to act as though UM had any choice in the matter. Shalala offered to cough up tens of millions of dollars for UM to contribute to renovations on the OB. Plans were drawn up. The corrupt city officials backed out of the deal and screwed UM. But yea, let's blame Shalala/UM and say that it's "UNFORGIVABLE" that she "signed over" the OB.
If you want to nitpick, fine. My particular point is more in regards to what the LOSS of the OB has done to the sports culture down here.
Honestly, I think that's a cop-out. We were on the down-slide before we ever left the OB. The OB didn't win us games.
It was a loud and angry environment---When we were winning and when we were playing top competition regularly.
But the truth is that Sun Life can be loud and daunting as well. We saw that in the Duke game just a couple weeks ago. The place only had 35k or so fans, but it sounded loud as **** on TV, so much so that Cutcliffe even remarked on how loud the crowd was.
If we can ever put a winning team together, I can guarantee you that the place would be rocking for a big-time game.
