scathing new article about the athletic department’s leadership

But don't lose hope, Hurricanes. The next best thing might actually be the best fit. Kentucky coach Mark Stoops is this close to sainthood in Lexington, and though a statue in front of Kroger Field sounds nice, perhaps the program's winningest coach since Bear Bryant would rather compete for a national championship before retirement age. Miami might offer that promise, and he knows it's possible in South Florida after serving three years on Larry Coker's staff in the early 2000s.

Stoops is also affordable. He's paid $5.3 million per year by the Wildcats but his buyout is less than $2 million. He's not only one of the SEC's better coaches, he's also a tremendous recruiter, a quality lacking in recent years at the ACC school.

Cristobal makes sense to Miami, but pulling him away from the best situation in the Pac-12 for a program stuck in the middle of a weak ACC is a difficult proposition, even without money problems.

Stoops makes sense and is a financially viable option.

If that fails, try Tom Allen at Indiana. He's a Florida guy, a tremendous recruiter and has done much more with much less in Bloomington.

Reality will not stop the old timers and former players with big voices and zero power from living in the past, spitting out big names and ignoring the reality at Miami, the program time forgot.

This reads like it was penned by an angry 15 year old.
Tired Subject too, btw.
And, yes, Blake and Diaz should have been fired yesterday, but who reads 100th version of same pablum?

Lake & Gabby went all in on Blake during their instant reaction podcast. You could tell they were salty that they weren’t included in the media session and basically have called for Manny & Blake’s head. They want them fired.

Throw in Ferman in there as going hard on the program and there is no doubt that Flake has cut them out.

Now Flake has created two more enemy organizations.

I hope they include more. Please do....

This narrative is a little lazy, no? Sure, I'd love more money pumped into the program . . . more academic support staff . . . analysts . . . more nutrition and S&C staff . . . and just more support staff in general . . . but can we point to any particular "thing" that we need at this point? The IPF was huge. We're probably already near capacity in terms of space on campus. Realistically, what more do we need?

I would say more support staff should be at the top if the list. Obviously aside from a good coach

and the idea that boosters have deep pockets there is only a myth carried forward by the boisterous fans and former players who do not have the means to support the program beyond sharply-worded tweets and eye-catching quotes in the media.

247 except for a few exceptions, is basically an aggregator at this point. Nothing they’ve said here is new, except for some of the opinion points.

I’m not mad at all they wrote it, but any quarter-functioning CIS troll could’ve written the same thing.

Media knows they need someone like Miami or USC to blow up again. There hasn't been over 30 million viewers for a national championship game since Taint and Oregons game.

****, clemson and Ohio state barely raked in more views than Ohio state and bama last year. No one wants to watch the same boring *** kkk ****, but someone needs to step up and do something about it because this lame format won't change until then.

The NCAA worrying more about their profit margin by incorporating 2 separate rulebooks has been killing the sport for a long time now.

The narrative matches our admin, lazy and misguided.

Miami...where coaching careers go to die. Why would anyone want this gig? Forget about it being Miami and all the cool **** that comes with it. You are working for Frenk and James. Coaching Circles have heard of these two and the reputations they bring. Why would anyone go work for a beta cuck ****boi and his handler to be shown the door in 2-3 years?

As bad as Manny has been at the coaching gig, I am not sure we are pulling in that much better. As long as Blake James is running the coaching search, our next hire will be met with extreme skepticism and doubt.

You're not wrong, but who cares. We need the media to continue dragging Julio and Blake through the mud as much as possible and to keep the heat and attention on the idiots in charge.

Tom Allen would cost more than Mario, he has a 20 million buy-out.

FAU and UCF players in the recruiting scene? Lmao.

Other than this, I see no lies: we will know very soon if UM is serious about football or not.

His buyout for being fired may be 20 million but there is no way his buyout for going to another program is 20 million. Thats ludicrous

Miami is serious about football, right? If that is the case and the Hurricanes' administration is truly disgusted by the last 15-plus years of "football," they will prepare a gigantic financial package, along with a clear vision for improving resources and facilities, to lure Mario Cristobal from Oregon back to his hometown. Miami, however, is not serious about football any more. The president there is completely oblivious about the program -- and wants to remain that way -- and the idea that boosters have deep pockets there is only a myth carried forward by the boisterous fans and former players who do not have the means to support the program beyond sharply-worded tweets and eye-catching quotes in the media.

The part in bold right here i am glad is finally making its rounds in articles though.

Not even just Mario. Whether it be Kiffin, Freeze, Stoops or any other big name thats circulated on these boards. MIAMI NEEDS TO MAKE A BIG MONEY MOVE THIS OFFSEASON. Idc who it is, send a message to the entire country that athletic programs across the board are being properly committed to so the 2nd half of this quote can be put to rest. That in itself fixes a dozen problems structurally by minute 5 of the announcement.
