What are the chances

It’s not been utilized appropriately. They don’t really serve a purpose. I can’t speak for smaller irrelevant sports and how they’re used as of late but for instance.. Epstein and Blake ran straight to Manny Diaz when Richt retired - the committee served no purpose. When Richt became available there was no other candidate - the committee served no purpose. It was already decided that DiMare would be the baseball coach - the committee served no purpose. When they hired L was the last time I think they actually utilized the committee but it was an obvious choice at the time.

Agreed. Some of us have debated "if you have a committee and it never does anything, does it really exist" in the past. We just need to find a new model of governance, and one with more transparency. It's one of the few things they can do to re-engage the fans and donors to make us feel like our participation and contributions matter.

Nope. Mas brothers identified Coach L as a candidate, having gone to his basketball camp. Recommended him to UM, at which point UM reached out and asked for his resume, which he did not have, so he sent his Wikipedia page.

You just blew up the Larranaga narrative in an open forum.

So they were the “friends”

They have a smaller group athletics committee. It’s just not as functional as most P5 schools.

And here is the source of 2 decades of whoas. It supersedes athletic directors and presidents.

Huh? Not "friends" before they hire, the brothers just went to his camp one time before some stuff happened and UM had to generate new names for the search.

His agent claimed “friends” of L’s who were close to the Miami job, but not officially tied to the school, reached out to see if he was interested. And that’s when L threw his name in there for consideration. Hence why I said school officials didn’t contact him, it was the other way around. He supposedly thought he had no chance of getting it.
