Pulitzer-worthy sports journalism…

James, who became the Hurricanes athletic director in '13, played a role in Miami's process to hire Diaz. Diaz previously served as the defensive coordinator under former Hurricanes coach Mark Richt. Following Richt's decision to resign on Dec. 20, 2018, Miami made the decision to hire Diaz as head coach a few hours later.

Add this:

After parting ways with James, Miami president Julio Frenk released a letter stating he planned to get more involved with the state of athletics at the university.

At least get the timeline correct!!!

I don’t blame them for this article. I blame them for mid 90s cover story advocating for the death of Miami football.
 
SI has basically become Bleacher Report. They're not paying top dollar for experienced writers.

I've seen Twitter trogs that suddenly have bylines on SI and I'm like WTF???

Trump supporter or “they” probably would be. Maybe, Michelle Obama dawning a patriotic red, white and blue bikini announcing her 2024 run for POTUS
 
The thing to take from this is not the fact that SI pushed out an article with no substance in an attempt to pile on. The thing to take from this is that the national sports media has taken quite an interest in what is currently going on at UM as far as our AD search, possible/likely replacing Diaz etc. The point is that this administration is under the national media microscope and everyone is watching and waiting to see what UM does. Everyone wants to know if UM is going to step up to the plate and deliver in terms of making the football program a priority. Can you imagine what we will hear on every sports show if UM screws this up and brings Diaz back?

If you thought that this administration was uncomfortable when Kirk Herbstreit called them out on College Game Day just imagine how much they will squirm if they don't get this right or at least give the impression that they are going all out in an effort to get things right? What if Mario says no and UM decides to keep Diaz for another year? What do you think the media will say if we bring Diaz back knowing that Lane Kiffin would have come if we had offered? It would be an unmitigated bloodbath!

Point being that after Herbstreit let the cat out of the bag, it set in motion a tsunami sized wave of curiosity, scrutiny and speculation that caught the status quo contingent at UM completely flat footed. Before all this they could afford to be as negligent and incompetent as they could be because nobody but us were paying attention. Now the lights are on and they have been exposed for all to see. Now, whatever Miami does and whatever decisions Miami makes regarding it's football future will be made with the knowledge that the entire nation is paying attention. That's good.
 
I would say this is a national embarrassment but the clowns involved have no shame, class or empathy For all that this affects.

And they say "Miami is irrelevant".
 
Sports Illustrated is a ****show for many reasons. Not only because the articles they have written about Miami over and over again, the stuff they tried to do with Michael Jordan really ****ed me off. Its a company full of hacks and media prostitutes, writing everything for money only. Doesnt matter if its right or wrong, the money is there, so lets get on the keyboard!

They can officially
