Cristobal to get $9M a year at the U
- Thread starter alaskagamecock
- Start date
Good for him...maybe if Miami can be relevant again, it will bode well for the ACC...Miami as of now just looks like another private school drain on the ACC...Boy, did John Swofford make errors when deciding who to invite into the ACC...
What's most unreal about this is that Miami's job isn't even technically open. They did Manny Diaz so dirty here.
Interesting way to handle things for sure......

Mario Cristobal rumors: Miami gives Oregon coach Monday deadline as Manny Diaz stays on job, report says

Not a good look at all. Just let the man go. Manny is a lame duck with higher ups at Miami, if Cristobal stays at Oregon.
Ah he deserves it for the way he did Temple
Did the same to Richt
Tell me how this go round is different
I can’t see them restoring their legacy
Not really. They gave him the courtesy of resigning to keep from firing him
UM keeps relying on the demands of former players to hire HBC’s with connections to the glory days.
They’ll never return to the glory days unless they go back to the formula that made them successful. Since the Admin has decided they’ll never go back to the thug days, their fate is sealed unless they can once again crank up booster money to try filling the gap
Hard to believe Cristobal would stab Diaz in the back. Karma is unforgiving
Not to be adversarial, but your information is incorrect.
UM had suggested for Richt to hire an OC (due to underperforming offense ) and suggested he replace his son as QB coach.
2-3 days after this meeting, Richt then resigned. UM attempted to dissuade MR, but he informed them "It was time".
I can assure you there was no strong arm tactics to get Richt to step down.
This seems crazy. How did schools completely skip trying to pay a coach $6M, $7M or $8M? It went from $5M to $9-10M overnight.
It’s now being reported that Diaz has been fired. His buyout is reported at between $7 and 8 million.
It’s insane to me that these schools are paying this kind of money to coaches who have never won anything. Saban has won 7 title and he’s not making much more than these guys.
Straight from UM.
University of Miami announces change in football leadership
https://news.miami.edu/stories/2021...-announces-change-in-football-leadership.htmlExactly. How does an AD get convinced so easily to pay more than the top coaches are getting? What reasoning could Tucker's and Cristobal's agents have possibly used?
Tucker’s case is particularly perplexing. He has 3 years as a head coach, 2 of which were losing seasons.
Manny Diaz. Don't feel a bit of sympathy for the guy. Much like Muschamp, he was the wonder boy defensive coordinator who was the next great head coach. Until he wasn't. Also, this is the guy that took the Temple job for 18 days, then bolted in the middle of the night without even talking to his team for the Miami job. And he's getting a check for somewhere in the 8 million range to leave. So you know what my heart beats for poor ole Manny
Pure speculation here, but Manny seems to come from one of those families that you don’t want mad at you. Maybe that’s why the AD got out of there first. Btw, I wonder why that black SUV with tinted windows just rolled up in front of my house?
Messy coaching transition- about as messy as when that Lowder boy at Auburn was trying to filch Bobby Petrino from Louisville mid-season while Tubberville was still employed at Auburn. That was the only worse one I've seen.
Karma for manny….took the Temple job then screwed them 2 weeks later to take Miami job…and in turn Miami screws him.
Let’s be realistic though. Even if his dad wasn’t the mayor and he didn’t go to Miami, who really turns down coaching at Miami to coach football at Temple?
I read an interview with Don Johnson a while back. He said he got invited to a party in Miami one time. The top 5 dope dealers in Miami were there, along with some of the top politicians, including the police chief. He said the craziest thing was that half of the U football team was there as well. It’s a political minefield.
The great irony though is people around here flip their stuff about a single parent getting a couple of hundred dollars a month but see no issue with a business just being savvy enough to take hundreds of thousands if not millions in Covid dollars….
