2021 Coaching Carousel picking up riders…

Why would Diaz stay if that is true? Pure insanity in college football!

Miami is a weird job. They seem to have money, and some big money supporters but as far as fans go, nothing. Even when they were winging national championships, they didn’t really have much of a fan base

People show up when they win, it's just how it is here. They don't have a ready made, on campus group of fans. There just aren't enough of them, so they have to attract people from pretty much a three county base. People just aren't going to do it. Even the Dolphins have to deal with this, and there are generations of Dolphin fans who just don't want to kick out the money. The only team down here that isn't dealing with it is the Heat, and that's because they are pretty much always good.

I don’t even think it’s the money. Miami is a very international city and American Football isn’t on the minds of 90% of the people there. They need to draw in more people from outside Miami, including country boys from the inland areas, which they used to do 20+ years ago. Now all of those fans support UF and FSU because Miami hasn’t been good enough to cultivate new fans outside of campus. The Dolphins have a decent regular base, but everyone I know that goes to the games seems to have corporate tickets. I know very few people that buy their own.

You aren't lying about the corporate angle. For years the regular guy has talked about being priced out, the game day experience changing, etc. It's definitely a real issue. It's a shame too, because what the Dolphins owner has done with the stadium is really great. Completely changed that place for the better.

I was in Fort Lauderdale for Thanksgiving visiting my oldest daughter and her wife, and we joined her large group tailgating at the UM vs. VA Tech game at Hard Rock Stadium. There was a good crowd, and the tailgating scene was a PARTY. Very different vibe (lots of latin & rap music, dancing) than the Rent, but it reminded me of when our lots were full. The stadium is awesome. They were there for the Dolphins/Giants game yesterday and said it was PACKED. They got last-minute tickets for fifty bucks.

The tailgating set up is great. You just have to make sure you drive in with the people you like to tailgate with, because the parking people put you into whichever spot is the next open one. And yesterday was pretty good, the NY teams always bring a crowd, and the Dolphins current win streak has people getting excited about their future (maybe even present).

But is it a philosophical shift (“we need to compete better”) or a financial one (“with CFP/ACCNet we have more money to spend”)?

… innuendo and on-line posturing points more towards booster $$/influence (which doesn’t come without strings atttached).

What an awkward situation. Diaz should be looking for another job, regardless of what Cristobal decides.

I am sure Diaz had been reaching out for potential landing spots since he evidently knew he was a goner in mid November.

Does Oregon try to buy out Akron to keep Moorhead?
Expand ...
You have to assume people talk. Moorhead has to know that Cristobal was - most likely - gone from Oregon this year. And with the Akron acceptance within days, he knew he had higher platform jobs. He chose Akron.
 
MIami is such a mess. How they can go recruit for a new HC when they still have one. So disrespectful. Imagine Mario turning them down, what kind of situation would that have left Diaz?
