POSTING WITH DAVID LAKE'S PERMISSION;


This narrative of a ‘power struggle’ happening at Miami with the AD and potential head coaching search is disingenuous. Where is the power struggle? President Julio Frenk is in power and he and his advisors are making changes.

Miami does not have a AD…no power there. The board of trustees is toothless (the decision to part ways from Blake James was made without their input for a reason)…no power there either.

HERE IS THE NEWS: Frenk and his advisors will hire the AD, which is currently going through a search firm process. The AD and Frenk will then make a decision on Manny Diaz.

President Julio Frenk and his advisors are attacking the status quo and these aggressive changes are making people uncomfortable. Are you all satisfied with the status quo? These type of massive changes need to happen if Miami is going to move forward and have success. The problem is systemic.

Again, people in the Hecht building and on the BoT leaking out that Manny Diaz is on the cusp of returning is disingenuous. Interim AD Jenn Strawley is not a candidate for the AD position. That would be a status quo move and the people making this decision don’t want the status quo.

These narratives are damaging because they characterize Miami as a circus (which it isn’t), but this circus narrative is something that the status quo people want to put out there because it could potentially scare quality AD candidates and scare a potential quality coach. These narratives are a shining example of why a total culture reset is needed.

Don’t fall for it. It needs to stop.

Screenshot this and post it wherever.

Seems like mission accomplished by Epstein and crew though…. you know like lies spreading around the world before the truth has even gotten out of bed

If accurate, it seems that someone or something has finally pushed Frenk’s button. And he seems to be arrogant enough that when his button is pushed, he will make the decisions that he has power to make regardless of his advisors (BOT). Frankly, this is the type of arrogance you need in a leader because sometimes the leader has to stop receiving opinions and believe that he/she is the smartest person in the room and is the only person who should make the final decisions. Now let us keep our fingers crossed that Frenk has decided that sports are an important function of a D1 university AND that he believes in the Stanford, ND, Michigan model that a university can not be great in just _______ to be considered great.

I hope Frenk is a killer behind the scenes. He must be pretty ruthless to become a University president. That doesn’t happen by mistake.

Crystal clear attempt at continued sabotage from within from the familiar suspects. These status quo BOT members are an absolute disgrace to Miami.
 
Seems like certain BOT members want people to think there’s a power struggle. I’d say up to this point everything Lake has repot has been largely true. Looks like some people are upset they lost their seat at the head table and doing whatever they can via the media to wrangle some control back.
