The Immediate Target is James

I understand the outcomes, but one was a coordinator on an 11-1 team, the other was a coordinator on a 7-6 team.

So…that sounds like Paul Dee got WORSE with time and NOT better. (Also, that's how I feel. Dee is overrated. He sucked. BALLS)

Manny is done, he will not win enough games here to turn it around. And it seems the team is already quitting on him.

The immediate target is Blake James for many reasons. Baseball sucks, basketball sucks and football sucks. The U's main three sports are suffering because of poor leadership in the AD office and at each sport. It is easier to fire him now during the year rather than Manny. ALL OF OUR EFFORTS should be focused on firing James.

He cannot be in charge of bringing the next coach or managing any part of the process of hiring the next coach.

James will be gone at year's end. Diaz will be gone in the coming weeks.

The immediate target are any cucks on the board of trustees who supported and backed James (and his knee-jerk hiring of Diaz) as well as any other lame-brained moves they supported.

Many on the BoT wanted Miami to reel in Mario in 2019, but the Diaz crowed was louder and won out. THOSE are Public Enemy #1 for this flailing program.

Paul Dee was Miami's general counsel since the early 1980's and only became athletic director at UM by default.

Sam Jankovich had things rolling in the 80's, but bailed for a job with the New England Patriots in 1990—which led to the hiring of the inept Dave Maggard, who hung around and did nothing from 1991-1993, before bailing out to work on the 1996 Olympics committee.

Dee happened to be on hand as UM was going through pell grant fraud-related matters and fell into the athletic department gig from 1993 to 2008, when he stepped down and climber Kirby Hocutt stepped in (and bailed for the Texas Tech job), leading to another climber, Shawn Eichorst (who stuck around long enough to land the Nebraska gig.)

All this should prove to people is that the AD job at Miami is either a place for small-timers, or guys aspiring for more who only want to use the program as a stepping stone. The gig has pretty much been a black hole for three decades now.

Yeah that sounds right. Also, even the “climbers” werent particularly good as we saw Eichorst fired Pellini and himself got canned at Nebraska.

Off the board, a group of us consistently ask: if this were venture funding, would you invest in our leadership team? I don't mind the AD position being a "stepping stone," but then you need a well-defined system around that spot. More safely and for our current needs, someone needs to identify a leader with vision and skills to run a modern enterprise. Start running the athletic program like an actual business and, who knows, we might fall ***-backwards into some results.

Listen, Joe: Presser Prediction Thread

"Yeah, it was a tough one for sure, Joe. Listen, we've got a lot of young guys on this team. We had some key penalties today that cost us points. In close games, you can't have that. And, last week, of course, the missed FG to win the game at the end by a young guy. But, you know what, Joe...

But, you know what, Joe? Andy came back this week and hit two big FGs from NFL range. And, that's what we expect from everyone. The standard is high.

We're going through these growing pains, but we're a couple plays and some injuries away from being a 1-loss team. That's football. I'm in responsible for that. We're gonna get it fixed here because we have a Top 25 team coming to our house next week. We have to keep fighting."
 
How are we close to being a one loss team?

-so Michigan State who kicked our *** could have been a win? Are you kidding me?

-how convenient he left out our ‘near win’ against G5 state which also could
Have been a loss but their qb missed a ton of open throws. So to be fair, that near win balances out one of our two losses. At best this team could be 3-3.

How about Manny has the most experienced Miami team in years and we are squeaking by Appalachian state and getting beat up at home by a portal heavy Michigan state team? What a joke.

Miami used to have pride in athletics. National champions in several sports. Great national recognition and then shalala happened and then came the Blake James fiasco. The good news is the president has instructed his aides to evaluate the situation. More BS to come.
 
Manny is done when (among other hints) his AD refuses to say he will finish the year. He could have said a million things, including "of course he will [lying]. he is our head coach" but chose a vague answer.

For all the shidt Paul Dee got on various Canes sites (and I know I piled it on him pretty heavily at times) he would be a light year's worth of improvement over the incompetent, social justice warriors we have running the Athletic Dept. now.

His time had ups and downs, but I'd take it.

Alonzo Highsmith for AD

If Zo was interested in Statecraft he could have the job, because some board members care more about access and influence than wins. Frenk would need to have a vision for athletics himself to realize someone without "AD experience" like Zo could do the job. Frenk will undoubtably rely on conventional thought/pedigree or recommendations from the BOT to replace Blake when the time comes.
