On3 reporting

I’m going to sit back and wait. If manny is kept who in their right minds signs on as oc?
Manny is basically Helton 2.0. So with manny and his crappy defense paired with a new oc this team is done by week 3 next year.

I wasn't completely sold on Mario either. But, if he comes here after the complete shi* show this process has been and the last two decades to boot...he must really want to help turn things around. Sign me up!

No, but if it turns out the multi-millionaires of Miami are that ******* stupid, I have half a mind to move there just because.... well you know the old saying about a fool and his money easily parted, all that.

I appreciate you answering. The reason I asked is because that is the type of sh*t that goes on down here in Miami often. It's wrapped this way in the Miami political scene (Just go follow Billy Corben on Instagram) or just google search what happens down here in politics, pulling favors and to the extent people go to down here to keep in power or pull of power plays.

Most people that don't live here don't believe it. It's a sight to be hold. It really does happen this way down here.
 
Let's say we take Dr. Frenk & staff at their word (football now finally counts big and more funds can/will be directed to it.)

So AD is gone, and despite everyone's (esp. BOT influencers) having their push and preference, they are letting the search firm thing run it's course. They may have an idea whom they prefer (and in what make-up) but folks are just guessing what this is.

They surely know a new HC would be a plus ...and are surely aware Mario "could be" "that guy", but are waiting on the AD (who might have extra "sway" with Mario, or not) and other developments (PAC conference game) before settling in on anything. Again, they like have a preference, and those who wish to influence them are guessing and leaking and some doing dastardly circus stuff to seek their wishes being fulfilled. Kiffin could be a Plan B. Keeping Manny, esp. if Plan A & B fail and the new AD is in favor, might be a "real possibility" too, as Plan C,,, which could have severe adverse consequences for UM Football and fans and fams like CIS.

So of course, we hope not.

If Miami actually agreed to that and let Manny meanwhile "carry on" there would eventually be a (successful) lawsuit bigger than the Medicare IPO of Ruiz.,

How would that be proven??? UM can say we didn’t have an AD and we were waiting for them to make the decision. Pretty simple, not sure how a lawsuit could be successful when the person who usually makes those decisions on coaches hasn’t even been hired yet lmao.

...this is probably the best summary and info lake has ever done and what is happening behind the scenes and the lack of public statements. granted he basically wrote some of the same stuff I said last week... but bravo Lake.

So assuming some of the leaks of info (even tho may be false) are coming from Epstein, or any other BOT member for that matter, when a new AD is hired and Manny Diaz does get fired (presumably), what repercussions are there to the trouble makers???

There’s got to be some attention brought on from their actions
 
As football coach Manny Diaz waits to hear whether he’ll be retained next season, a top candidate for the University of Miami’s vacant athletic director position has emerged.

Eddie Nunez, a Miami native who has served as New Mexico’s athletic director since 2017, received strong reviews from the school’s administration after a recent interview, a source confirmed to The Athletic on Tuesday. Miami still has other interviews lined up with potential AD candidates at least through Wednesday, the source said.

As for Diaz and Miami’s ongoing search to upgrade its football coaching staff, the source said a final decision will not extend beyond the early part of next week.

“We may not be able to do both announcements concurrently,” the source said.

Nunez, 47, has deep roots in South Florida and spent years learning from successful coaches and administrators at Florida, Marquette, Vanderbilt and LSU before getting his first job leading an entire athletic department five years ago.

“I actually spent a lot of time with Eddie Nunez because he oversaw the construction of our new baseball stadium — every nail that was put into that building,” former LSU baseball coach Paul Mainieri told The Athletic on Tuesday. “We became pretty close, Eddie and I, even outside of the construction of the stadium we would talk a lot — two Miami boys. We talked a lot about athletic administration, and what he needed to do to prepare himself to be an athletic director. He came to me for advice I would say quite frequently.

“I always liked Eddie. I thought he was going to be an All-Star in the business, and when he got the opportunity at New Mexico, I thought it was a good opportunity for him to cut his teeth as an athletic director. It was not an easy job out there. But it was a good job for him I thought, and if it ends up leading to him to become the athletic director in his hometown, at the flagship university there, what a wonderful story that would make. I think he’d do a tremendous job for Miami.”

The nephew of former Miami High athletic director “Tiger” Nunez, Eddie played high school basketball at nearby Miami High for South Carolina coach Frank Martin and the late Shakey Rodriguez, FIU’s former coach, before moving onto Miami-Dade College for two years, where he was in the starting lineup.

Nunez then spent two years at Florida as a walk-on under coach Billy Donovan where he later served as a graduate assistant and head equipment manager for two years, including for the 2000 Gators team, which lost in the national championship game. Nunez then moved on to Marquette where he served as an administrative assistant under Tom Crean. It was there where Nunez decided to pursue working in college administration permanently.

He made a pit stop at Vanderbilt, where he served as the director of game and event management before moving on to LSU where he worked under legendary baseball coach and athletic director Skip Bertman, who played and coached at Miami alongside Ron Fraser. Nunez held seven positions and titles at LSU and worked in every facet of the athletic department.

SEC commissioner Greg Sankey has been a strong supporter of Nunez’s since his days at LSU, and he’s considered a potential target for other AD positions in the ACC and SEC.

“He’s a guy with a lot of energy and a lot of enthusiasm,” said Mainieri, who led LSU to a national title in 2009. “When you worked in the SEC at a place like LSU, and there’s a lot of pressure on everybody to perform, he’s seen it. He’s also seen it at a school that doesn’t have a lot of resources. So, I’m sure that he’s also learned to be very frugal and have to make some tough decisions as well. When you look at New Mexico and LSU, you’re talking about really opposite ends of the spectrum from a resource standpoint. I’m sure he’s had to do a lot of fundraising out there at New Mexico and did a lot of internal administration here at LSU. My impression is that Eddie will be well prepared for that job at Miami if he is named the athletic director.”

Like I said y’all are being played , I’ve been saying this for a week but I’m a “fraud”. The media continues to be used as pawns.

These are people who do not care about the program or fans, they only care about their own self interests and politics. Power / control is all they care about.

I think you have done plenty to prove you are not a fraud. Easier said than done but I wouldn't pay the antagonists any attention. Ahem, @SayWhat
 
Just hoping Cristobal and his camp see thru this bull**** and that the ones running the show are communicating properly about it
