Serious Question

Advertisement
Why did we hire Coker, Shannon, and Golden? The admin is a bunch of idiots. In particular, Donna Shalala. Thank god that troll is gone.
 
The same reason people in the BOT are considering Schiano, Wario, Chud, and Shula for HC.
 
He won the raffle at the Christmas party. Took the post over a 3 day Carnival Cruise.
 
Good ******* question. Ha. My guess is that he is relatively cheap and very low profile??? **** I don't know! He sure does suck though.
 
tremendous fundraiser, has enhanced facilities and is likely very cheap for an executive position. his background in ticket sales doesn't hurt him as he drives revenue. Not saying he's a great AD but he knows how to keep his bosses happy and play the exec card quite well or at least appears to.
 
The ticket office was a real mess and needed help and he met the "won't leave" criteria.

He has zero business being AD at Miami or any other power 5 school.
 
Im hard on Blake but ultimately, if the people on the BoT don't care, why should he? If they are happy with mediocrity and pillars, he'd be stupid to rock that easy six-figure salary boat.
 
I would also like to know if we would be ANY different without him (as in we had no AD)? I know some people think Minnesota State Mankato is a top 3 school academically so I'm aware of that point.

Yep just look at all the tickets being sold. Never seen sunlife so packed and full of energy as that Clemson game against a top 10 team. Isn;t that the reason people refer to it as "no life" these days?

Not gonna lie, he's not done a terrible job. He's in over his head, but starting to adjust a little and learn on the fly. If he seals the deal on that indoor facility here soon (before next seaosn) I would not bash him anymore. But as far as ticket sales.. That'll be determined based on this next hire and nothing else.
 
I think the candid truth is that the Admin was tired of dudes jumping ship for other gigs. Give it to a unknown kid that had no biz getting it and you create a lot of loyalty which is what the Admin and Bot where looking for.

Blake got it by default when *** face left.

You pay for what you get. Not for nothing but the other two chit heads (Holkunt and Einkunt) were pretty bad too.

Agreed but Donna gave him Year 5, not Blake. When Blake saw the tickets not being sold and the empty stadium on Saturday not only did he realize the team sucked and Al wasn't the guy but that the money wasn't coming in and that is what would get him in hot water. Hats off to him for going against his own word and pulling the trigger.
