Miami landing Cristobal with 10 year, $80 million deal

[TaterGator]

It sounds like he said Fuch you how yall handled this crap. Then he proceeded to say basically that if crystal balls does anything next year it's cause Mandy set him up but the hurrican'ts didn't give him time.

 

[lagator]

I heard the boosters reached out to Shapiro and told him we're getting the band back together.

 

[Swamp Donkey]

Reach out to him to say what?

"Hey man, how are you? By the way, we're stealing your coach."

yeah, as if the agent didn't? The offerred up a $100 MM extension for some reason.

Honestly, Oreygone should thank Miami and send flowers to FSU.

 

[PaulDrake]

I cant believe the market for .500 coaches is 100 mill.

Its like baseball when batters with lifetime averages of .260 started getting multi-million dollar deals.

 

[GatorInGeorgia]

He sure showed a lot more class than his employer did.

Yes he did.

Miami may have really screwed themselves with the bush league way they handled this. Manny’s dad, Manny Sr., is the former mayor of Miami and is now the chairman of the Florida Democratic Party. Political affiliations aside, he’s a somebody who is well connected. I can’t imagine he’s happy with how they treated his son. When the boomerang comes back around & the U needs some help from a well connected politician, Manny Sr. just might give them the middle finger.

As much as I hate scUM, getting Diaz on staff in Gainesville would be a great boon for recruiting.

Remember when I said as bad as it has been that all the other DCs Mullinz has hired have been worse than Grantham?

Why would you want someone like this on staff?

 

[UFHealthGator]

yeah, very bad look by miami. they better hope super mario works out or they may have real problems next go around. not sure ive seen a worsely handled coaching transition. im not a diaz fan, but he seems like a good man regardless of his coaching acumen. what was done was dead wrong and i feel very badly for him. he's the only one that was professional throughout the entire ordeal.

People seem to forget that Diaz ditched Temple two weeks after they hired him as soon as Miami opened up.

Until this fiasco and bad PR look for miami I would’ve disagreed. But if we could somehow manage to use the empathetic card to raid whatever talent we want from their class and roster, it may actually be worth it. Being viewed as the good guys who “are there for you” certainly couldn’t hurt. Worst case scenario, it doesn’t work, he lands no one and we launch him a few days after February NSD, which would go virtually unnoticed given the current theatrics in CG.

If I read it right, Mario's buyout at Oregon is like 9 million, Manny's buyout if he's fired this year is like 8 mil. Mario looks to be currently making around 5 mil annually. How the fuch could Scum afford all this, and still offer Mario at least a competitive offer to what Oregon will no doubt counter with? I imagine Oregon could easily up him to 7 if they wanted to, no way Scum finds this kind of money.

Not sure where the money came from, but I did check thoroughly to make sure no banks in South FL had been robbed.

They shorted COIN.

Well, I personally would never ask a democrat for the time of day & expect to get an honest answer.

Dang Daytona… for a Caine fan, I think you’re earning some street cred around here.

 

[Okeechobee Joe]

That look you had on your face when USC wouldn't let you ride the bus back home is the same look you have when you find out your agent couldn't pimp you out to Miami and you're stuck in Mississippi with no popcorn.

 

[PaulDrake]

LOL! Another red flag Mario should have a raised eyebrow over. The media WILL ask about the hiring process and the way Manny Diaz was treated. COUNT ON IT. This is like the proverbial red cape being waved at the bull and daring it. LOLOLOLOLOLOL

Are you forgetting how he ditch Temple to go to Miami right after he accepted that job? Tit for tat.

yeah i did forget about that. still think this is much different and much worse, but point well taken.

The money came from covid, apparently.

Cristobal and Miami were finalizing terms on a 10-year, $80 million deal, by far the richest the Hurricanes ever have given a coach. Diaz was making around $4 million annually. The university has said it plans to give athletics an influx of cash, in part because the school's hospital system has seen profits skyrocket during the pandemic.

Miami needs a culture change more than a coaching change

"Though it was controversial at the time and lost money for many years, the health system generated over $400 million in profit in the recently completed fiscal year."

Jeezus, syringes and covid

 

[williston_gator]

Miami doesn't have their own stadium, so that saves them some money lolol.
