Radakovich retiring

[P-Tizzle]

Yormark was at more 2025 UM football games than I was (although I was in a coma for part of the season)...

We’re glad you’re back. Hope you’re feeling good, brother.

Hopefully someone with a bunch of Sheik’s on speed dial

Michael Yormark was terrible as CEO and president of the Panthers for nearly a decade. The list of missteps is very long for those of us who followed the Cats back then.

Hopefully he's learned something at Roc Nation...

Brett and Michael can't wash that ROC Nation off their resumes. No Diddy!

Ncaa lowkey asked Donna to put in an application for AD, they trying to stop our rise

 

[mosthated305]

Thought he already was.

**** beat me to it. Seems like he was already at least semi retired

Yet another reminder of why I hate reporters... Nothing like having to drag someone's face through the ****** mud that you don't know **** about

Reads like Barry has a personal vendetta

My understanding is Dan is the first human to actually be replaced by AI

 

[Ispyin]

I like Yormack’s background a lot for a potential hire. But it’s a **** NO if he’s gonna sell us to the Big12.

My God, please don’t be that simple. He’s not doing that.

 

[Ispyin]

Can we please sum it up for everyone - which should be kind of easy to read through all of the public tweets at this point but Dan did what he could do but it’s time for a change. His retirement is a graceful way out. This has been in the works for months and no just because the guy’s brother is at the big 12 doesn’t remotely mean in Miami to the big 12. I know that Won’t won’t short-circuit 27 pages of stupidity, but at least I tried.

David Lake lists a couple of other candidates

Yormark, whose daughter attends UM, was the president and CEO with the Florida Panthers from 2003-13. He has served as the president and chief of branding and strategy for Roc Nation since 2014.



When the Hurricanes hired Radakovich as AD in 2021, Jim Frevola was a finalist for the position
Frevola is currently the president of business operations and co-CEO of AFC Bournemouth in the English Premier League. Frevola is a Miami graduate who has also worked at the UFC, Tampa Bay Buccaneers, Vegas Golden Knights, and Tampa Bay Lightning.



Jeff Purinton, an executive vice president with Learfield Sports Properties is another name to know in this equation. Purinton was a vice chancellor at Arkansas State University form 2022-25 and worked at Alabama for 15 years, rising to the Executive Deputy Director of Athletics there.



Nick Saban is known to be a fan of Purinton.

I'm pretty sure Michael Yormak's daughter goes to UM

I'm pretty sure Michael Yormak's daughter goes to UM

That’s correct; David lake reported this

 

[orange&green84]

I’m fine with the shift. It’s a whole new landscape in college football. I’m thrilled that Miami is quick to understand the changing landscape and is adapting quickly.
