Who is Lambert?I always hear Lambert, Soffer, Epstein and Dimare. Lambert is a dude. He gets it.

They should have just kept him out..Looked like he might belong in the concussion protocol anyway after that hit he took late in the game.
I’m so far removed from the situation, I rely heavily on guys like yourself and the few others here close to the program.I just PM'd one of the other well-known/well-connected posters on this thread, we just have to be honest and focus on the right issues.
The UM BOT is too large. Over half of the BOT are not UM alums, they are only on the Board due to them living in SoFla and wanting to put their names on buildings. ****, I'll even give credit to A-Rod, he WOULD HAVE BEEN a UM alum if he hadn't been drafted so high.
The reality is that almost nobody on our BOT got the job because of some special knowledge or affinity for sports. People should about "the BOT doesn't care", but the truth is that they care a little bit WHILE HAVING NO INFORMED OR EXPERT IDEA ON WHAT TO DO NEXT.
If you hire, sayt, a very talented hair stylist to be the CEO of a tech company...you might not get the best results. That shouldn't be surprising.
The BOT knows that a problem exists. We need to keep up the pressure on the BOT to make sure they know this is not just some temporary fan-insanity over losing one game. But that doesn't mean that any of them have any genius insight into who to hire next. That is why any action, if it happens in the next few weeks, will likely be driven by a small-but-vocal minority of the BOT.
I've been posting the same core principles for years, you can go back and find my posts. The BOT is too large. We need to create a BOT sub-committee to handle Athletics, 60% can be Trustees, but the other 40% should be former players FROM ALL SPORTS (preferably UM-SHOF members). Beta Blake has spent far too long cultivating big UM donors and premium ticket-holders and has filled the department with people loyal to him. Nearly everyone in the administration of Athletic Department needs to be fired (it can be phased in over the next 8 months). Maybe Alonzo will succeed, maybe he will fail, but he cares, he is passionate, and he is more qualified than most. Maybe Mario will succeed, maybe he will fail, but he cares, he is passionate, and he can recruit like a ****.
I try not to go overboard in any direction. I may not like every UM Athletics hiree on Day 1, but I give them all a fair shot, and I root for my alma mater to succeed each and every year. But when I am DONE with a coach or an AD, I am really, really done. It's over. Move on.
I hope the interested and KNOWLEDGEABLE members of the BOT can carry the day and summon the will to fire Beta Blake first, and then Manny once we have made enough back-channel connections to know that someone is ready to accept the challenge.
GO CANES!
Yea hopefully the 7 who leave are trash upperclassmen not the young stud freshmen. I would also imagine they would wait to see who the next HC is before officially leavingWell, we'll probably get 7 freebies under the new NCAA proposal. Probably gonna lose 7 who transfer out.
CiS medical team has already diagnosed 3 of the BOT members as having torn ACLs. And that was just in the past five minutes.CIS medical team approves. Send them one screen shot for final evaluation.
The decision, when it is made, will be made by the whales. After the stunt Blake pulled last time behind Soffer’s back?I’m so far removed from the situation, I rely heavily on guys like yourself and the few others here close to the program.
Hearing how large the BOT is was totally mind boggling to me. Multi- billion dollar corporations have way less members on their boards. How do that many people get together let alone come to a consensus on any issue; let alone an issue within the athletic department.
Your idea of forming an athletic sub-committee comprised of a diverse group of former players, coaches, and BOT members Is exactly my thought as well and an excellent one at that.
It’s taggart isn’t itI‘m not speaking the name to help board morale lol
He's a hard-nosed type of coach which may be exactly what we need. I think his experience in the NFL has calmed him down some. I remember reading a write up on him that said as much.Good coach. I just wonder how the players would react to him
Mario signed a 6-year $27M extension this past December. Oregon may very will need to pony up more but if I were them I'd wait at least into November. Great win at Ohio State but work through the season. Clinch the PAC12 North (again). Win the PAC12. Maybe a CFP invite.He’s not leaving mid season. I’m just waiting to see if it’s reported that they are working on an extension.
ThisBring me Bill OBrien
We could do a lot worse than Schiano.. obviously.I bet its Greg Schiano....
Doesn’t matter what they do. I’m on board with most people here that say, give him your best offer and make him say no. None of the low ball and negotiate up.Mario signed a 6-year $27M extension this past December. Oregon may very will need to pony up more but if I were them I'd wait at least into November.

Don't jump at media speculation.
Dan. He’s not a Bot member but is a heavy hitter. He’ll put his money where his mouth is.Who is Lambert?

I was referring to your comment on what Oregon may do in response to Mario's new-found coaching celebrity.Doesn’t matter what they do. I’m on board with most people here that say, give him your best offer and make him say no. None of the low ball and negotiate up.
