Miami is being run right now by a bunch of boosters masquerading as BOD members for the school. Healthcare millionaires which is where Miami gets its big support from. Decisions are being made without an AD. Supposedly they are about to sign another Miami grad out of Clemson to run the department. I have to seriously question his sanity as well. Who would go into a job knowing you had zero to do with the simultaneous hiring of a football coach? Does this AD actually believe that he is going to be able to run his department while making his own decisions?
Lets take this another integrity angle step further. Diaz is being left dangling in the wind while MC supposedly makes a decision. Does MC think this is a good thing for his profession? Does he think this is appropriate? Is he dumb enough to believe the healthcare boosters won't do the exact same thing to him in 4 years? The alumni of Miami are a well know entitled group. 20-30 years ago their program was relevant and like the nutlickers to the north of Oregon, they continue to act that way even though there has been marginal success. These alumni are brutal on coaches, I hope MC is ready for that.
Then we can get into the past corruption at Miami, bad behavior, blah blah blah.
If MC wants out of Oregon so bad then fly Mario, fly. If things are so bad here, then by all means head home to Miami. No hurt feelings.
I have spent more time in Miami than anyone I know who doesn't live there. Been on the Miami campus 20+ times. Worked with the Miami/FL Extension on crop and pesticide chemistry for 8 years. Miami and Eugene could not be more polar opposites, we are talking North and South Pole polar opposites. The schools are marginal, there is way more crime, the kids grow up awfully fast there, traffic is hardly bearable (the worst drivers in the entire country) and if you think a nice place in Oregon is expensive, check out the prices in Coral Gables.
The campus has some pretty parts to it but for the most part it is a city PSU type campus. I will say that they have a small lake on campus with fountains and if you go there at night it is lit up and is pretty beautiful. Some of the ball fields for the AD on the Southern most part of campus are actually curved. They are curved because they had to try and fit them in on a land locked campus. The Hard Rock is literally 20 miles away. That is 20 miles through some pretty horrendous traffic. My customers son was a punter on the team and he laughs because depending on traffic it could take up to an hour for the team buses to arrive at the stadium.
There are some rough areas down there. Recruiting in those areas is a bit sketchy but one cannot deny the talent. MC will have no problems recruiting like he does in Eugene. We aren't Washington State tough but lets be honest, getting kids from all over the country to go to Eugene is not piece of cake.
The Cuban difference is clear. Our friends in Miami are all Cuban and we love the culture and they absolutely love Miami, I understand that draw and connection from MC. There is nothing like the social life the Cuban community has in Miami. The parties are awesome. Pig roasts, late night dancing in a friends back yard, the food, drink, my wife and I fell in love with the community. If I could take that group of friends and move them here to the beach in GA, I would.
I say all this because if MC is interested in going to Miami, with all the differences, the challenges, uprooting his family which has clearly made a happy home in Eugene, then he needs to get out and we need to find a coach who is appreciative and does not treat this as a stepping stone. No hard feelings. I get it Mario.
With the lack of integrity and patience the school is showing right now, Mario will be treated the same as current coach Diaz and will be out before the end of 4 years. Very similar to the used car salesman who occupied his position before his departure to Florida State.
Will I have a problem if MC stays? No. Do I think he is at this point and time a good game coach? No. Do I believe he can put enough talent on the field to compete? Absolutely. Do I think like JHOP that the program is going to fall apart "for years"? Absolutely not. We had a two year drop when the used car salesman left. The only thing that surprises me is that the guy who lobbied so hard for the position is now threatening to leave for an opportunity that in my opinion is inferior which at some level makes me question his common sense. -
