Hyde: It's a civil war in Coral Gables -- and a troubled Hurricanes football program is at issue

Whatever Miami decides, whatever was resolved in a Friday meeting between a handful of angry Board of Trustees members and Hurricanes athletic director Blake James, they all need to understand one thing:

Alonzo Highsmith, respected as he is, can’t solve this program’s decades-long problems for them this winter.

He might help in some murky, “chief of staff” role. He’d certainly bring football insight, executive experience and good commons sense to his alma mater.

But if Highsmith is needed in some undefined job for an uncertain boss, it brings more issues about Miami’s troubles than his good talent.

It says James is failing, this program keeps falling and there’s questions whether coach Manny Diaz can find his way out of this mess alone.
