This article was written for Canespace by blogger DJ Moonbat...
There's a whole lot of people claiming to know what's going on -- or not going on -- behind the scenes, and to know the motivations of the decision makers.
But we don't know.
We don't know whether the Board of Trustees is doing its due diligence to rid The Dude of this meddlesome coach.
We don't know whether they're actually laughing at all of us poor mopes while they cash their huge ACC TV contract checks.
We don't know who they are considering to take Shalala's place, and what that person has to do with the decision if any.
I do know that it seems really, really weird the blanket of silence that's going on, and the lack of even a statement concerning the future of various assistants, much less any firings.
Until a) somebody gets fired, or b) a statement comes out saying everybody is coming back, I am assuming that the situation remains in flux.
If I were to hazard a guess, I would say that relations between Al and Blake are not currently as simpatico as Blake's public statements would suggest.
Blake is probably feeling some non-zero amount of heat demanding change, and Blake being the consummate stooge, would love to be able to deliver.
Whatever we're waiting on, it'll happen soon.
It may be good, it may be bad, but there will at the very worst (from my standpoint) be an announcement saying the whole staff is coming back.
Until then, I remain cautiously optimistic.
Because I don't know what's going on, but it sure doesn't seem like the kind of situation that the "Powers That Be" actually want to keep on festering.

The good news is this whole thing will blow over when Miami's only fans are it's alumni. Miami sent a big signal to CF that they won't be competing for NCs anymore. So come on down Bama, Texas, UF, FSU, OSU, WV take whoever you want. By the end of Golden's tenure in 2019 Miami will be getting 1 or 2 4 star guys.

Is there anything more pathetic than someone who needs to rip a college kid on social media?
They must have absolutely NO life and desperately need to get out of their mom's basement.

Well, the gloves stayed on as for as long as I could manage. Just hard to prevent david banner's hands from breaking thru them from the transformation. Especially when a fart brain with Lokhee complex pronounces anyone that exposes his doom & gloom mentality as lame. No way to handle u but to splatter your brain all over the blog. Your angle is not to expose under achieving coaches. Chaos is your bliss. A stable, winning program is not what u want. Even when we turn the corner, u will still fault this brand. Your warped mind wants a failed program. U don't have orange & green in your vein. What u have running thru your vein will make the water in chenobil seem like a cleansing juice. Trust me I do not want your name on my lips. U don't have to worry about that. I'd rather gaggle with H2SO4. U didn't come on last year? Do us all a favor & take a millennium off. I clap for u that u got it right with golden, but guess what fock face, so did umike, WWIM, Cocane & a few others. But they r not the piss water vermin excuse of a fan that u r.

Anybody who constantly posts social media updates from young adults who play sports in college to other sites on the internet is more pathetic to me.

a guy who consistently lowers the bar for what he considers success because the football god he worships at the foot of is so incompetent that winning the weakest division in probably the weakest power 5 conference is a fukking dream for canes fans ?? IDK, maybe that

Yeah? Thats worse?
Than a grown man going on Deon Bush's social media and calling him a pu**y?
Or what guys are posting on Tracy Howard's?
Yeah wins and losses are more important than that.
Posted by: Go Canes | January 05, 2015 at 05:29 PM
Or a guy who goes Best Buy Geek Squad to try to disprove a star player's moms FB post critical of said football god.
that might be the leader in the clubhouse

to be honest --IDK what anyone was posting on any players social media. I thought we were talking about this blob. If someone here called D Bush a pussy--they are out of line --even if it was OGV. But i didn't see that here.
Posted by: Bermuda Triangle | January 05, 2015 at 05:35 PM
Lol. Like I said, sad and pathetic.

We weren't talking about that. Brad Kaaya's mom teed off on some UM fans on Twitter recently.
Posted by: dj moonbat | January 05, 2015 at 05:38 PM
No I was referencing a post where Tracy Howard was asking people to back off his social media. And yesterday I posted what Deon Bush was told by a "Canes fan".
When it comes to sports, especially amateur sports, you're the lowest kind of scum if you rip a kid personally. Period.
Posted by: Go Canes | January 05, 2015 at 05:57 PM
I posted what i saw in tracys ig cause I'm pretty sure they have to hear that all the time. Denzel said that a couple months ago.
People attacking kids and calling them names and crap. Smh
Posted by: laquinton | January 05, 2015 at 06:02 PM
The tender little losers on Twitter can close their accounts if they can't take being told how sorry they play when they go 5-7. Close the Myspace, Instagram, Tumblr, Facebook, all of them. Or win your games and stop crying like a bunch of nobodies and never-were's.
Stick those hands up a different roster of socks some more today loser.

pURE bULLSHIT drizzling from behind of every keystroke all day long. It's been a long year for you all over the place and you're cracking like a dyke about to break.
Better head to bed soon little guy, you've got a long day of attempted angry trolling to go at tomorrow, the endeavor never ends when you're 5-7 . . .
Posted by: orange 'n green in the vein | January 05, 2015 at 06:12 PM
Those of u that like this dude, good luck. Even the few good players on the team r game for him. Proves my point.
Posted by: AfriCane | January 05, 2015 at 06:15 PM
If I'm a troll, u must be a ork. no need to bother with u. I would get more out of the tin man. I only hope u don't have kids, not even a pet. And u call me angry? The misery that is your existence should be your primary concern. There is a cure for my anger. It is in your demise.
Posted by: AfriCane | January 05, 2015 at 06:24 PM
Lol.
Go back to calling 18 year old names buddy. Youve obviously convinced yourself they deserve it.
Maybe the next coach and QB can win enough to open their social media again, but much more importantly give your sad, sad little life some type of meaning.
Posted by: Go Canes | January 05, 2015 at 06:24 PM
silence out of Coral Gables is deafening. Surely they don't keep this staff intact.

No sinister! U r giving him a out. It is not that simple. My issue is with him assaulting young men that r actually the only productive one on the team. Maybe when he calls Duke Johnson a pathetic loser for not making it to 2000 yards then u will see the need to quarantine him

fsU M(d)AD? LOL.
Again.
Johnson fumbled away a chance to win two games to seal losses, so if the worst QB in modern Hurricane freshman history didn't blow even more with locked in stare down interceptions, yes he helped seal the fact that the entire roster is nothing but losers. Every cut rate football camp unearthing, every five star bust on any site you want to subscribe to, every cousin of the worst coaching staff in Miami history, all losers. Keep jocking the lot of them and worrying about the mean users of the sites on there while they can't stop attention whoring slightly less than you are now.
5-7 coaching losers get to finally divorce their wives and marry each other in more than just their career failure in Florida now. In Dade they can even still get the courthouse ceremony!
American exceptional-ism and equality wins again! Miami however, still losers when it comes to football in related news.
Put the keyboard down and enjoy the end of 2014, oh, that's right, couldn't flounce even that long when there's so many fires to put out everywhere!
Posted by: orange 'n green in the vein | January 05, 2015 at 07:02 PM
Man, OGV, thought the fact people were agreeing with you would help you cope. Just my opinion, but you're posts sound like you're about to go past a line you're going to regret crossing if you're intent on bashing all of our players.
Posted by: j.w. | January 05, 2015 at 07:04 PM
Wow, someone really, really hates themselves.
I mean big time.
Go smack a random 16 year old for mis-bagging your groceries.
You'll sleep like a baby in that basement tonight.

If anyone agrees with him, can u support this with facts & figures?

If 2015 is more of the same, expect Canespace cell block to house at least disgruntled 4 bloggers at any given moment
Posted by: SinisterCane | January 05, 2015 at 07:13 PM
Get some more cast of characters to keep those echo chamber reverberation numbers at a acceptable level.
5-7 is an indictment of leadership at every coaching position and 33 positions on the field.

Well, we've officially LOST IT. Sniping at each other like rats on the sinking ship that we ALL currently inhabit.
No news from Coral Gables, (like MOST people on here KNEW would happen), and WE'VE resorted to the lowest possible denominator... basically eating our own.
Face it. We're stuck with this loser staff like BJ said we would be. All of these bloggers from all over the web with (shhh) "inside info" are just bigger losers behind keyboards.
We've got players who are overachieving and underachieving, just like kids everywhere. The biggest problem WE have, is leadership unwilling to change a losing gameplan.
I don't care WHAT sport you're playing... if you don't adjust and change stuff that hurts you and doesn't help your chances of winning... you're going to lose. (Unless your opponent happens to self destruct, or is SO INFERIOR in the first place, that they had zero chance of defeating you coming in.)
I'm taking a break. Whatever happens... happens. A bunch of bloggers insulting each other doesn't change ANYTHING.Y'all have fun. cya
Let's Go CANES!

Losers and loser excuse-rs is all that's left of the football program.
Guess you're one or the other. Time for another name change and another puppet to put a hand up there to reach the keys again. It's early in the year after all, time to go back to the well worn bag o' tricks. Like, take this, for example;
