PUT IT THERE

From your Rivals link:



"Eighteen months ago no one would have touched this job. Now people are starting to see the changes. They see a $350 million renovation to Sun Life Stadium. They know the new $120 million medical facility that will house our sports medicine and performance center is huge for us. They see the new $3 million training table. They see the $7 million dollar refurbishment of our practice fields. They see the $15 million completion of the state-of-the-art Schwartz Center with new locker room, player's lounge, training room and academic support center. They see the $56 million Student Center. They hear discussions of a new indoor practice facility. All of these improvements to our program and campus directly improve the quality of life and represent a revitalized commitment to our players.

"On the field, they see the QB - his leadership, commitment and maturity. They see a defense that lost three starters and a coach right before the season go from 90th to 15th in total defense. They know probation will be over in another year and scholarships will be on the same playing field as our competitors. So yes, it is becoming attractive and we are catching up to our peers in so many areas. The 2015 class will be the first recruiting cycle exposed to all of these things. But the 2016 and 2017 classes ... they will have the best facilities ever afforded Miami Hurricanes and have absolutely no ramifications of the NCAA case. Zero. So they see the world a lot differently than recruits and parents that lived through the 28-month investigation.

"And perhaps the greatest change is the most inconspicuous - an Athletic Director that wants to be here long-term. My first two years on the job we were in the middle of chaos and we had four different AD's. It's impossible to move forward like that.

"So my resolve is stronger than ever. I've just been working like crazy and ignoring the noise. I can't listen to it nor can I address the negativity and every little rumor. I am a positive person and I am far more concerned with the overall growth and development of our student-athletes and implementing the best plan possible for the 2015 Miami Hurricanes."


He has a case. He should get through the end of the 2016 season imo.

Right Now is a horrible time to Fire a coach. Kills recruiting and Team unity. Al is Not a Bad coach and I believe that Miami is getting very close to returning to almost the Glory Days.

Was Randy Shannon "getting very close to returning to almost the glory days"? And that quoted part is just funnily worded.

Sleeper cells all over this country. You can't escape @GoldenAl and @CanesAllAccess we will not tolerate mediocrity
