Mullen interviewed with Miami

[Bubb Rubb]

That's a great analogy. Tulane used to beat LSU just like Miami used to beat Florida State and Florida.

That's not happening anymore. Let me repeat: Miami WILL NEVER again surpass FSU or Florida. I don't care if Nick Saban goes there. The school is not a good fit for being a major football program in the current college environment.

Not without going completely rogue on the recruiting front like they did before.

[Liverpooldawg]

So Mullen is making himself look better for bigger jobs by not recruiting as well and as a result not winning as much? Damn that is some logic right there.

Ain't it though. Some people here have gone stark raving nutts.

[Liverpooldawg]

I agree with those that say that Miami is not as good a job at MSU. I've heard someone compare Miami to Tulane with a really good football program. Maybe that's off some- I don't really know.

BUT what I do know about Miami is they have a trump card in the form of their NFL alumni. They may be only able to pay a coach 2 million- but I guarantee you that Irvin, Sapp, Ray Lewis, Ed Reed, and ETC. are probably going to have no problem helping the cause of the U- and I imagine between all of them they could easily scrounge up another 2 million a year for whomever their coach is. They're an extremely loyal group towards their alma mater.

My Miami family members say that doesn't happen much down there. They talk about the U, but they don't donate as much as you might think.

They don't have as much as you might think

I won't believe there's anything to this story until Steven Godfrey writes an article about it.

I thought it was posted here by several people in "the know," including Coach34, that Mirando was fired over some kind of sex scandal, not NCAA violations?

uhhhhhhh no

Mirando resigned in 2012, and this site wasn't started until 2013, so nothing was posted here period. However, prior to the word coming out about the violation, it was discussed on another board (sixpack) about Mirando leaving for possibly dating a student or teacher or something. That was mentioned by several posters, including one that went by the name of Coach34. But that was early speculation that folks were hearing, and folks admitted such. As it turned out, it was fact that Mirando was dating a student or teacher as speculated, so the posters' speculation was partially correct. But that was not the reason for the resignation as later discovered. Most all posters stated it as speculation and not fact.

uhhhhhhh no

Actually, you repeatedly said that the firing was due to a relationship and not because of NCAA Sanctions:

ohhhh thats right. I had forgotten we were using the Ole Miss playbook to control the message as long as possible.

To the 2nd part- we arent a 3-9 program anymore. Its that simple. This particular team should have won at least 10 games. Next year's team wont have that same expectation-next year's team just needs to get bowl eligible.

[Liverpooldawg]

Bingo. It's amazing some of the biggest sunshine pumpers like Liverpool call Miami a better job than us. On second thought, that explains a lot.

Not to me personally. I DO NOT LIKE Miami. I have family there( 2 Miami grads) and have spent some time down there. I don't know much but I probably know a bit more about Miami and the Gables than most here. HOWEVER if you ask football people my guess is 90-95% of the ones not wearing our version of maroon and white would say the Miami job is better. We have WAY better facilities and support. They have WAY better recruiting grounds and history.

Till they go through their first summer. Then something like 50% move back north, seriously.
