Holy Cow, Miami cleaned house

Miami isnt recruiting Ball, he doesnt have the grades to get in so its a mute issue. Recruting is very overrated for them, good coaches who develop players is the biggest issue with the program. Look at what Weiss did in ND, what Galen Hall has done at Penn State, and what the new OC has done at Texas. Miami will get good recruits no matter what, Marcus Ball wouldnt develop at Miami with Vernon Hargreaves coaching him.

how can you not have the grades to get into Miami? lol

Miami's standards are similar to notre dame's these days for athletes. When Shalala came in, she up'd the minimum SAT/GPA scores and changed the requirements for high school classes to be taken to get into Miami. Miami is one of the better schools in the ACC. Obviously Duke, UVA, Wake, and UNC are better but they are def. closer to the top than they are the bottom.

have at it. He would have sat on the bench for 2 years as a safety at miami regardless. Hes a good player but 1 player is not a team make.

This is a start. Good to see that the folks from The U are committed to cleaning this mess up. Too bad the axe hasn't fell on Joker yet.

I think he can become a figure head like Bowden, but he definietly needs to get the best assistants.

I cant post the article because its a pay article but he fired soldiger and hargreaves and didnt even give them a reason why he fired them. They asked why they were being fired and he said he would rather not get into it. Thats some fat Phil crap right there, I dont have nearly as much respect for Coker anymore.

Moonlight, that's the best line I've heard in weeks.

Unless you are a student at Duke, Vandy, Stanford, Virginia, or a small handful of other schools, to make light of Miami academically (BTW-the Business Dept at The U has been ranked #1 in the nation more times than not year after year) is a case of the pot calling the kettle black.
