How about taking this a little more seriously and make sure that the next coach is a person that brings integrity, hard work, and a good ethics to the job, to go along with a good football background? We all know that Coach Cristobal has those qualities and should not have been let go. We also need to concentrate on letting the powers that be at Camp Mitch that some housecleaning is in order at the top of the athletic department. All the hard work that Coach Cristobal and his staff put in so that this program may continue to grow is rapidly going down the drain, thanks to the situation that the AD, or whatever his title is, has put FIU in. The AD needs to really clean up his act quickly. The president of FIU cannot turn a blind eye to this any longer.

There is definitely a lot more than just W-L here. This athletic program is lacking leadership at the top. If you followed this team the last few years, the coaches have worked miracles with limited resources and support. If you are going to take all the credit and accept all the accolades for any successes you have, the responsibility of their shortcomings and failures should fall squarely on the shoulders of the athletic director. How many coaches are they going to have to fire before someone higher up figures this out?

Pete, any word on radio? I miss listening to Jerry of the castle on the broadcasts. I've heard him and he does speak perfect english. Any chance he would be interested in returning to the FIU broadcasts? Let's face it, the last few years of broadcasts have been bad, to say the least.

SI suggests that UM drop football. Yaaaaaaaawn! Does anyone even subscribe to that rag that did not do it for the subscription offers to fans of the teams that win championships?

Get over it with the Marlins playing spring games (exhibitions) with the Yankees before they open the new baseball park. The first opening day is still the first opening day. The Houston Astros opened the Astrodome with exhibition games vs. the Yankees, and all other MLB stadiums have had exhibition games played there. Joe Robbie Stadium had exhibition games before they played their first regular season game both in baseball and in football. Stop trying to create a controversy where there is none.

Just want to understand the way it works...three college-age men go to a bar in the Bahamas and meet a couple of women at the bar that are drinking, partying, carrying on, and making out with each other, and they invite the men to go to their rooms. This is rape?

It took th entire season and TWO managers to finally admit that this wasn't a playoff team. Great job in stocking the bullpen and the bench. Now that we know that Dombrowski hoodwinked them in the Cabrera trade, can we just cut our losses already? Firing Fredi was an injustice, and not retaining Edwin now would be even more unjust. How about giving the guy a chance to manage with a full deck? Loria and Samson should neither be seen or heard when it comes to baseball decisions. They should learn from the Miami Heat model.....an owner who puts his money where his mouth is, and leaves the baseball decisions to Beinfest and Mike Hill! MLB should "encourage" them to sell the team to a real owner, the sooner the better.

Wassup! Glad to see you are back on the "prowl". Will be following your insight all season long. Keep up the good work.
