This is from the other board: I feel like u guys should have access too. Because in the end were all Cane Die Hards and we all want this program back to bring Great....
First and foremost, hats off to Jim and the rest of the basketball staff for the job they've done with all facets of that program. Great student involvement, great player development, great recruiting, great game day coaching, etc. Everyone in that building knew that they were attending a game being played at a very high, nearly elite level.
The AD held a very nice moment of silence in honor of Edna Shalala who passed away yesterday at the age of 103. As we did not go up to the box, we didn't see President Shalala (if she was there at all), but it was a nice tribute.
Despite the stellar passion, hustle, coaching, and play on display last night, it seemed that the football program was on the tip of EVERYONE's tongue in the Hurricane 100 room. Blake came by to do his usual glad-handing, and did not look good. Several other assistant AD's were all toting party-line, which is something to the effect of:
"We know the situation sucks, we're not happy either, but we can't stay on the 4-5 year hamster wheel of swapping in and out coaches...let's GIVE IT TIME."
To say that none of us were particularly encouraged by these sentiments is a gross understatement. Everyone saw through the BS and basically said, as AG once did, "are you kidding me?"
Here is some information, unverified, gleaned from several conversations yesterday:
1) The AD knows that the football program is a bad place right now
2) The football progarm is full of "toxicity" and no one is coming to work with a smile on their face in the FB offices
3) Kelly Golden is VERY unhappy with the situation at Miami and/or continuing to live in Miami
4) Realistically, the Goldens probably want out sooner rather than later
5) Realistically, the AD wants out sooner rather than later
6) The hefty buyout is a huge obstacle to getting movement RIGHT NOW
7) General consensus among the boosters and few trustees from which I got info was that pretty much everyone wants him gone
8) It looks like the powers that be, despite wanting him gone, are biding their time hoping that Kelly wanting out and AG knowing how small of a margin for error there will be next year's record will push AG to resign on his own and take another gig somewhere else
9) Everyone knows that Coley is an asset, D'Onofrio is a liability
Also, had a great time spending time with the basketball coaches after the game. Great coaches and, across the board, really good people.
