The problem isn’t Mario Cristobal. The problem isn’t Manny Diaz. It isn’t Mark Richt. Or Al Golden. Or Randy Shannon. Or Larry Coker.
The truth is - there isn’t a problem.
I’ve already told you what the reality is. They are what they always were before a 20 year spurt in the 80’s and 90’s where they paid south Florida talent to stay home and Miami was able to make their own schedule every year as an independent.
Miami is a past their prime private school. They are BYU with a beach. Except BYU at least has an on campus stadium.
The only difference now is NIL has created an environment where certain programs are using collectives in order to get recruits to sign out of high school. Which isn’t what NIL was designed for.
It was designed for kids who get on campus who put in the work, produce and become stars, to be able to profit off their name and likeness instead of everybody else profiting off of it.
It’s purpose isn’t to entice players out of high school who haven’t proven anything yet to commit to your program, or to entice mediocre kids from other programs to hit the transfer portal and transfer into your program based on the promise of money.
That is not recipe for success. There are no shortcuts.
You haven’t seen anything yet.
