Miami Football Coach Gets Kicked Off and $3 Million to Boot
It must be tough to get fired from a job that you have poured yourself into, a job where your crew was unbeaten by anybody in the nation in 34 tries and where you eventually led that crew to the top.

Perhaps a $3 million buyout package will help.

Earlier this year the University of Miami football team made headlines again for a brawl against a totally undermatched Florida Atlantic University team. Later in the year one of the team's players was murdered.

University of Miami president decided "we can and will do better."university of miami.jpg

The football coach upon learning of his dismissal called the prez - "the finest president in college football." $3 million will cause people to say a lot of things.

I don't know this football coach from Adam. I do know vaguely of the Miami football program. I also know that at $100k for a four year scholarship, 300 students could go and graduate and make a difference in their lives and for many other generations in their family.

Seems like a wasted $3 million to me.

What do you think?

How important are the college football coaches. How many percent of the success is up to the coach and up to the players? But I think good and strong leadership is very important. LR College just hired a top notche football coach for it's team, Fred Goldsmith Goldsmith was a two-time NCAA Division I National Coach of the Year at Rice (1992) and Duke (1994). The story appears in yesterday's HULIQ at http://www.huliq.com/337/college-names-fred-goldsmith-new-head-football-coach

The game was between Florida INTERNATIONAL University and the University of Miami, Not Florida ATLANTIC University.
