Who are AD names?

Definitely someone we’ve probably never heard of. Not many to poach from other schools in our budget so it’ll probably be someone in a lesser role at a bigger school.. like Deputy AD somewhere.

Or the other route would be someone like Highsmith or Torretta.
 
Alonzo Highsmith. Period. We need to stop ****ing around and bring in a proven senior executive with professional sports contacts. And he actually gives a **** about football and athletics in general. Arguably bringing in a new AD at this point is just priority #1. The other sports are suffering as well and we need an adult with passion and contacts. Plus, that might even help us attract better coaching prospects knowing someone like Zo is running Hecht and sitting in the AD seat. He was supposedly interested at some point but we keep stepping on our own junk and refusing to take meaningful action.

Which is probably the equivalent of hiring Coker, Shannon, Richt, and Manny. Hard pass. We need to stay away from everyone with a connection to Miami. If I hear for one second that someone like Ed Reed is involved in the search #FoldTheProgram.

Highsmith could walk in to any room and command respect instantly. Not because he’s a former Cane and not because of his past laurels, but because the man is an alpha dog straight to the core. He’s a born leader. Spend 5 minutes with the guy and I guarantee you’ll want to hire him.

He’s not the guy who’s gonna go to ****tail parties and beg for donations…but he’s the guy who’s gonna walk in to a locker room, command respect, and turn around the culture. He’s a program builder AD, and that’s what we need right now…and it has nothing to do with him being a former Cane.

Give me the nerdiest ******* dweeb in the country. I don't need some gym rat meathead telling me how things were in his day. Give me someone who can assess talent and determine a good fit because he's exercised the muscle between his ears more times than you've lifted a book in your life. This is the most important hire in Miami's history. Let's not whittle it down to as something as simple as "aLpHa brO"
