i don't think they do.. obviously i hope they do but they can keep Blake and just tell him to stay out of the head coaching search and then get rid of blake at the end of the year...
Yeah me neither.. usually the media is more docile because they don't want to have their access revoked but at this point it's clear they must really not like Blake James for them to keep clowning him.

Problem is, it's already been reported that Cristobal won't come here if Blake is the AD. HC search aside, you need continuous leadership at that position. And if Blake is told to stay out of the HC search, why is he your AD?

if loosening the purse strings means begging for people to donate to an IPF like its an after school fundraiser then sure. if they're only get offer 4-4.5 for a guy (richt was 4 or so base), then Mario is never happening.

How much more is that then what they paid Al and Randy? Maybe now they'll realize the old adage 'pay to play' is only part of the game. You can pay to play, but you gotta pay a lot to win.

I'm not saying you're wrong but it seems that the bot has loosened the purse strings immensely recently.. at least since Randy and AL anyway. What are the results? Manny, DiMare, and a fossil (who is by far the best coach of the three) are all running their respective sports teams into the ground. The athletic department is *** and the dude responsible for that department is failing miserably. He has got to go.

Larranaga was either Hocutt or Eichorst (can't remember) but Blake has essentially given him a lifetime contract based on winning the ACC almost a decade ago. He should have been taken out to pasture 2 or 3 years ago and I'd imagine he'll be fired or retire if/when a new AD is named.

Hiring DiMare was AD malpractice but he isn't going anywhere and facilities have improved, they recruit at a high level and make the tournament most years so I'm less peeved about baseball as I am about the other two sports.

to be fair, no president should get fired bc of athletics. they have bigger **** to worry about. that's the ADs job. BUT, frenk has been absolutely awful as a president too and hes kept Blake in place.

Frenk is a double threat, he has managed to allow the big 3 sports and academic ranking to hit its low point.

You don’t allow Blake to make the hire if he’s still around. You do what Tennessee’s fans did. Absolutely riot.

that worked out for those idiot fans. Pruitt and heuphal are ***. the guy they didn't want is the best coach of the idiots they were considering and has RU playing well

It's actually remarkable how little we get out of our baseball program considering the level we recruit at.

A decent manager would be in or on thr cusp of the CWS every year with those classes.

I think you could reassign (out of athletics) or fire Blake but just because he may still be here, doesn't mean the hire won't be taken from him (boosters may make this hire on their own)

I was actually hoping we would miss that kick last night.

Am I wrong?

If we make that kick, the perception of the UVA game is completely different. They give the coaching staff credit for rallying the troops and completing a heroic comeback versus the mighty Virginia Cavaliers.

That's fine but he's the least of our concerns right now

My mood did not change at all after 30 missed.

The same old song on offense until halfway through the 3rd. Same old song on D.

Lashlee finally puts our team in position to exploit mismatches against the worse acc defense and we put a W in the hands of a FRESHMAN KICKER who already saved the day against App St.

Lashlee and Manny’s Defense has to be held accountable. I felt last night was a losing performance regardless if we make that kick.

Shout out TVD tho.
