To further remove any doubt professional college football is not about education:Coker, who said he had been offered at least two head-coaching jobs during his UM tenure but never pursued them because he was happy at Miami, will be paid a buyout approaching $3 million. He is expected to coach again.
Shalala also said she has directed Sergio M. Gonzalez, UM's vice president for advancement and communication, to begin a six-month fund-raising campaign "to secure commitments from our supporters/donors to finance competitive coaching contracts and build and renovate first-class facilities and programs for our first-class coaches and student athletes...."TRANSLATION: They want an arms race, they'll GET an arms race!
Shalala concluded by writing, "Finally, I want to make it clear that no celebration is in order today...."Tell that to your celebrating supporters/donors.
