Zo/Nuñez Potential AD's?

[Tad Footeball]

The fact that this loser and the fat dude from TTech are candidates shows you Miami isn’t serious about football

Seriously. If you combined this dude AND Tony Hernandez you still wouldn't even have a remotely acceptable candidate.

Eddie Nuñez is a name that has been circulating behind the scenes for at least a week. Whether he is ultimately the guy or not, I have no idea.

Nuñez has several cousins posting here….maybe they can chime in

 

[Memnon]

Whatever his take is, it will get 30 likes... @Liberty City El is so respected, we would all approve him being the new AD

I have enough self awareness to know I’d be awful at it.

 

[No_Fly_Zone]

Bright side- our womens' cross country team will now have someone that knows how to win.

FIFY

 

[JZCane0825]

Not sure if I missed it but at no point did this guy mention Nunez by name

 

[Odysseus]

This university seems to be all talk no bark

From Miami
Cubano

He played college Basketball at Florida under Billy Donovan for 2 years.

Was at LSU for 14 years as an assistant in the Athletic department, then became a full time AD for NM since 2017.

In Basketball, he use hired yall boy Rick Pitino’s son Richard after firing Paul Weir for 4 years of bad basketball.

In Football, he did hire Danny Gonzales from SD St as HC, but New Mexico is a really dead program when it comes to Football, Bob Davie & Rocky Long are the only coaches who have any success there in the last 20+ years.

But the main thing wrong with him, is that he didn’t go to Columbus, he went to Miami Sunset...

That’s gonna be a tough one to overcome.

he’s got more connections to Columbus than most Columbus guys

This program would have a shot in **** at being relevant again if it would consider someone who doesn’t have Miami ties. It should be an automatic disqualifier at this point

 

[who]

Some will get fooled by his 14 years of being an assistant at LSU. Keep this guy away. He has done nothing. Underwhelming is an understatement.

Just being awful at it would actually be an improvement for us. You have my full endorsement. Just stick to our agreement to fire Katie Meier immediately. You've been here 25 years. Get past the second round of the Tournament at least once!

 

[CaneSince4Ever]

Ya real bang-up job. This will be a smooth transition for him, then. From one loser to the next.

The USC AD once hired Jon Embree & Dan Hawkins, who went a combined 23-60, now He's considered an elite AD LOL.

My honest opinion, I don’t know.

New Mexico as an athletic program simply doesn’t have any money or access to recruits, at least not in Football or Basketball, Baseball maybe, but for the most part it’s a destitute program.

From what I gather I didn’t see much that would make him a home run, but it’s difficult to gauge & judge when you’re at a program like New Mexico. From a Football standpoint, they have to essentially rely on low level AZ, TX & Cali recruits just to field a team, but most of their players are JUCO & transfers from FCS.

Most of their classes rank in the mid 100’s, not even exaggerating.

I have no idea if he’s a good AD, maybe he is, maybe he isn’t who knows...

My guess, is that he’s a Miami Cubano with some ties to someone on the BOT & he’s a safe unknown choice that most fans will not really care who he is & therefore is perfect for them because he’ll be someone that doesn’t enflame the fan base.

He’s primarily a Basketball guy from his background as a BBall player & his connections with Billy Donovan, so that will most likely be his focus here while Zo is the head Director of Football.

He just recently hired Richard Pitino at New Mexico so that should get some of the fans who want Rick here excited for a little bit lol, but otherwise my read is that he’s a safe South FL guy that the BOT will like because he’s one of them.

In short, another puppet.

 

[IncaneInTheBrain]

Because he got hired as the AD there. He was an Associate AD at LSU. Former basketball player at UF

Great, another inside job.

Smfh...

Don’t want to hear another mothafvcking word about changing the narrative and being serious about **** if we hire this dude because you are exactly right. He is being considered because of the Miami connection and knowing one of the old guard BOT slapdicks, 1000%.

Thats why anyone is ever considered here fam lol. Golden was an outlier

 

[canesplaymaker]

Hard pass

 

[miamimike305]

The #1 question would be, Would Nunez fire Manny “9 lives” Diaz? Would someone in the BOT or connections give him the job as long as he doesn’t fire that f@KC of a coach.

Yeah little Pitino got fired bc he sucked...another puppet is right.

Getting the flyer ideas going just in case

 

[AlexCane]

It will be interesting to see what the Board does.

I want a grey hair. I want someone with experience building and running an organization. And I want someone who knows how to play politics and work back-channels to get stuff accomplished.

On the downside for the Board, someone like that strips them of power because they can’t control those folks like they could a younger AD.

Imagine thinking we're getting Jurich and Rick Pitino (although the Pitino angle of that idea was always beyond a stretch) and ending up with Nunez and Richard Pitino.
