Keep hating on this, an any other positive program that might help this country because of your anti-Obama obsession.
Idon't know if its that you hate ANY Democrat, ANY black guy,yourselves, or just NEED to hate hate hate.... I have no idea. It'sreally inexplicable.
This f'ing this is a massive success toeveryone, except the 10% of the hateful lunatics on the far right whocan't see straight. Which of course means 90% of this board and thesole moderator who's sole purpose seems to be to fan the hatred andpreserve this embarrassment to the site, the U, the community.

This had been expected for a while.
Look for the replacement to be a big time fundraiser first who will largely carry a sense of indifference with the athletic department. Other ACC schools are being largely considered and the elite academic schools of the Northeast are at the top of the list. Miami has Ivy and federal level connections and will look to those as expected. Zero chance we promote from within. This will be a big splash hire the way most have hoped the football hires would have been. Miami is considered a top academic sight that can pay an elite level salary for the school president.
The successor will likely need to have a science background and graduate level administration experience so as to continue the growth of the medical school and the rise of the other graduate programs with emphasis on business, law, and marine science. The other subjects like history, English, and geography will catch up by default.
Donna Shalala built this school into an academic powerhouse. She invested an enormous amount of hard work and effort to make it so. She will not allow the person to follow her undo it all and backslide the school. Her foundation will pull someone who can take the school to the next level. She will have a direct say in who replaces her so expect her to pick someone extremely similar to her. Also, should Hilary Clinton not become president, Shalala will remain at the school as a teacher and continue to act as a fundraiser. So in a situation similar to USC, the new president and the former president will be able to fundraise together and that with Shalala will be a unbeatable team.
The ultimate goal of a truly elite college is to have essentially an equal number of undergraduates to postgraduates, as is the case with most Ivy's. Miami is on the cusp of that and the next hire will have to be the guy to push the boat over the edge.
President Shalala didn't really care about sports for the most part, but she certainly didn't hate it. It just existed as a vehicle to make money to better the academic standing of the school, which is what all schools including the SEC, do. Alabama's academic ranking has risen nearly 34 spots since 2008. It's no coincidence.
Shalala was not responsible for Coker. She took over after he was hired and most were happy with Coker. Similar with Shannon, even though he was a cheap bargain purchase. Golden had a lot going for him and the hire was approved of by many. The baseball team has been a top 16-ish team and the basketball team experienced its best stretch ever. Miami has also fielded competitive to great teams in multiple other sports that required less commitment from the admin. It was when the money became so critical for the big times sports was the drop off seen. She fired a 59-15 coach in Coker and was attacked by the media for it. She fired Shannon and was attacked by the city for it. If she fires Golden, the media will destroy her for firing a guy that, "Took the NCAA on." While late to the party, she stood toe to toe with the NCAA and was ultimately an asset in the struggle against them to overcome her ignorance of the situation beforehand. The Orange Bowl was torn down on her watch, but that was just as much on the city of Miami as it was her.
Football took a nose dive during her tenure, but it was honestly due to more of a lack of commitment and poor hires than her just prancing the medical school and ignoring the situation. The upgraded facilities, built way late in the game, are here now and considered as elite as any in college even if they are small just do to spatial restrictions. All of her improvements from Greentree on down to Schwartz and Hecht were important, sorely needed, but generally late. Her advancements for other sports like soccer, swimming, and baseball were forward thinking and crucial as well as elite before any other school could compare. My one true criticism of her is that she tried as hard as she could to distance the school from any connection to The U and any inner city urban/Uncle Luke attitude attached to it. The FIU fight almost undid a lot of her hard work. The series only got renewed due to her departure. Baseball has a guy in charge who just wasn't bad enough to fire and got stuck in limbo. All other sports improved in terms of quality and attendance.
To disagree with bomb slightly, the BUC was built for basketball AND all other events. It's the perfect size venue for multiple medium events and brings in an enormous amount revenue to the university basketball not included. It's lauded as one of the finest buildings of its size around the entire world and its on the very campus. She did that and she had it done quickly.
The academics for athletes requirements was her doing and it hurt early, but she relaxed that standard in recent years.
In recent years, an on campus or at least within Metro distance stadium was considered a priority for the school and we thought Beckham was perfect and then it fell through for multiple reasons. There are still some recourses being considered. It was either sign the deal with Stephen Ross at the time or play at South Miami High's field. The school was held by the short ones.
She was great for the school academically, great for most sports, and borderline terrible for football and baseball until the very end. She has had a somewhat Howard Schnellenberger affect on the position of University of Miami school president the way he had on the University of Miami Head Football Coach position. It's a highly sought after job now that people will be fighting to get.
She is well liked by nearly the entire student body and most athletes unless you get into trouble. She brought an unmatched energy to the school as president. She's been nothing but nice to me as a president and boss and has really helped me and will continue put me in positions to succeed. I'm grateful to her for all the good she did for the school and most of all how what she did here will carry the school forward and continue to perpetuate building off even more with a successful replacement. She will be missed deeply by most, but she accomplished in her tenure what some presidents can only dream of at some much better off schools financially. She, overall, is leaving Miami in a much better place than when she found it and it can only continue to rise from here. Academically, the school sits on a step of elite company that she built and got us to and the next person will finish her work and take that next step. The University of Miami is lucky to have had her.
That being said, my ringing and completely meaningless endorsement selection to replace her is Dr. John D. Simon, provost at the University of Virginia. President Shalala has always admired Virginia academically and how they've been able to also field quality sports with the proper leadership while making financial, graduate, and undergraduate strides in the process. Dr. Simon has both Duke and Harvard/Ivy ties, an elite scientific background, and artistic ventures that can also raise the academic profile of the school. He is also know for superior fundraising abilities. He lacks the energy and political clout of Shalala, but she could lend him some political profile and raise enough energy out of him. This is the perfect hire.

Great post, but you just ruined the day for everyone on this site who thought PBuch and the Playmayka were going to come in and be co-presidents.

Ted's offspring, "President Shalala didn't really care about sports for the most part, but she certainly didn't hate it. It just existed as a vehicle to make money to better the academic standing of the school, which is what all schools including the SEC, do. Alabama's academic ranking has risen nearly 34 spots since 2008. It's no coincidence."
In that very long post, probably written by Donna herself, this is the what matters. It explains why, under Donna, the football program has been allowed (nicest way I can say it) to come to its current horrible state. You also managed to condemn all Donna supposed success to mean offspring of the fantastic player created success of the program before Donna arrived. Bama's ranking rose with it's football ranking TOO. All that people like you attribute to Donna was, at least, made possible by the success of the football program and the fame that came with it. Twenty years from now when less and less students, relative to universities with high end football programs, want to attend THE U because it no longer know by that name, but rather that other UM, no not Maryland, the other other UM, remember DONNA FRIGGIN DID IT!
Sucking to $$ from the football program for other project was and is killing the goose that laid the golden eggs. Your own words convict her of all she is accused. Imagine the $$$, free advertising, and "it" that could have come from a revamped OB right down the street the hospitals in which people like you take pride, IF Donna had found a way to use her super human talents to get and save the OB. USC face the same situation and saved the Coliseum. How can we be Harvard when we remain below USC? The simple fact is while she fiddled, Rome burned. I had my Doctorate from Miami before we became THE U. Let me tell you, it was better after Howard and JJ conquered the college football world than before and now. Football was the foundation of that Donna build on and she turned that foundation into sand. Her leaving completely give me a reason to vote for Clinton.

Keep spinning on this, and any other negative thing that actually hurts this university's athletic program because of your pro-Shalala obsession.
Idon't know if its that you cover for ANY university President, ANY athletic director, ANY coach, or just NEED to spin spin spin.... I have no idea. It's really inexplicable.
This f'ing president is a massive failure to everyone, except the 10% of the pro-Shalala lunatics on the far left whocan't see straight. Which of course means 90% of this board and the moderators who's sole purpose seems to be to fan the spin and preserve this embarrassment to the site, the U, the community.

Nobody "sucks money" from football for other projects. That simply isn't how Universities and athletic departments are run.

Its a literal statement. If you followed the program instead of screaming as loud as you can you might know a little more about our history and the players. Which would make you seem more intelligent when you're yelling and calling people names.
