Agreed. Without Milton they are a different team. He is still a quality coach tho. Agree about their AD. Hes made two solid hires in a row. Same can be said about Temples AD. But i'm done with Temple


What about Pagano makes you think he'd come here and what makes you think he'd be a good coach here? Not bashing just curious

He wanted the job after Richt retired but of course Blake James didn’t interview anybody!

Miami was paying richt a top 15-20 salary (4.25 mil plus) when he was the coach. They obviously aren’t going to pay a first time head coach that much nor should they

The main point is that they should not have hired a first time head coach after FINALLY paying a decent coaching salary to an experienced coach.

If you ARE going to do it, you pay TOP NOTCH veteran OC and DC to make up for the lack of experience.

Great defensive coach.

A Butch disciple.

Knows how to recognize talent. He was on Butch's staff that build the 2001 National Championship team. So, he is a good talent evaluator.

He was a Graduate Assistant at UM in 1987 when they won the National Championhsip with JJ.

Went 11-5 three years in a row as head coach of Indy, before he contracted cancer (and eventually beat it).

Knows what is involved about coaching at UM and knows the demands of the fan base.

Knows how to develop and "coach up" talent.

You forgot he's related to CaneinOrlando which is a big plus in my book.

OSU disagrees with you...I do get your point though. Bottomline, plenty of money to pay top level assistants. Instead, not only is UM saving money in Manny Diaz, but also the entire staff.

You get what you pay for...pretty much applies to just about anything and everything someone purchases.

The pastor's top 15-20 salary was irrelevant, when the overall payroll for his staff & support personnel was bottom barrel & in the bottom 3rd of all power 5 teams. So the pt that I'm trying to make to you is that you can't just look at the HC's salary, you have to also analyze the ENTIRE staff as a whole and see what type of financial resources are being allocated for their payroll. Doing so will allow you to realize how insane it is for this delusional fanbase to place the blame solely on MD & BJ, while maintaining unrealistic expectations.

It's not simply a question of the MIA administration possessing a greater will to field a competitive football team. It's also a question of capability. There's a HUGE difference financially between MIA and other private schools like ND & USC. ND as a university/football program can afford to maintain championship or bust expectations because they're independent. MIA on the other hand is not. It is affiliated with a power 5 conference while putting forth/making a bare minimum investment/commitment to it's football program. So essentially..it's being compensated & incentivized to uphold mediocrity. That is a very dangerous combination for a football program & bankrupt university that is bleeding chips in every aspect. This more than anything sums up the past 15+ yrs..

He was a Graduate Assistant at UM in 1986 with JJ, when Miami perhaps had their greatest team ever that lost to Penn State in the Fiesta Bowl.

It's how you spend the money, not how much you spend. The best coach available, Les Miles, makes less than 2.8 million. Blake James could give Diaz a huge raise as a vote of confidence to 5 million (Miami could easily pay that amount) and put us in the top tier of salaries, and it doesn't mean Miami is going to start winning.
