    Similar to nobodies getting on the internet and throwing poop at the wall about folks keeping their job when they have no say (or who we play as starting guard, for example). Kind of the function of a fan board, no.

    This from the business genius that can't scratch up the money to attend a game.

    I guess it doesn't seem odd to you.

    I attend a couple or a few a year. Im no silver spoon kid but i do alright. I just choose to spend my money elsewhere when things are bad. Miami was expensive and a waste of money. If you can afford to travel seven times a year for disappointing games, more power to ya my brither. I have to choose my weekends and Miami wasnt it for me.

    A classier response than that cheap shot warranted. Respect, Wanne15.

    My family had to work a bit to get my little brother through. Things werent as cushy when i came through. Im the oldest but also the reason my family have season tickets the last 15 years. My family definitely isnt old money. They came over fleeing ww ll. One grandfather fought in battle of the bulge infantry, the other ran from poland.

    You said you don't attend games because you can't afford them. I took you at your word.

    My mistake I suppose.

    You don’t have to defend yourself….especially to me. I didn’t go to college at all.

    I did and chose not to complete. I didnt want to go to anaplois and be a pilot. My little brothers first birthday happened while my dad got stuck dealing with Kadafi. I took a pivot and decided i would have a litlle more say so in how i live my life. No regrets, its been a pretty good ride..

    He did improve each season…..until he didn’t.
    3-6
    5-7
    10-3
    13-1
    Poop

    I think he’s seeing the results
    of poor HS recruiting/development and relying too much on portal.

    Firing Billy is not “what has to be done” — replacing Billy is what has to be done, and we can’t afford to screw that up again like the last 3 times we’ve run off a coach. If we blow it again, we will be even worse off than we are right now. No knee-jerk grab Lane Kiffin (or even worse). They need to finally get this right and stop the bleeding.

    Statistically they have a better chance on the next hire when there is one because they dont have to lure away #1-5 from an established program. 6-20 is a realistic option for getting to the playoffs. Its all about positioning moving forward. Final #5 ranking has a pretty sweet path forward w/o the added risk of a conference championship game wrt to injuries or losing.

    I’m not sure I’m following you here. With 12 teams in the playoffs that’s 8 more prospective replacement coaches we can’t get our hands on until late Dec or early Jan.
