CORAL GABLES — It seems like everyone has an opinion about the University of Miami's disappointing season.
That includes entrepreneur Donald J. Trump, who says the Hurricanes should have hired Texas Tech coach Mike Leach instead of Randy Shannon to replace Larry Coker.
In a letter sent this week to UM President Donna Shalala, Trump refers to Texas Tech's upset victory of No. 3 Oklahoma on Saturday and reminds Shalala that he strongly recommended that Leach be given the Hurricanes' job.
Miami, on the other hand, got shellacked by (Virginia Tech), Trump wrote in his letter.
"You are my friend, but you should have listened to me. If you did, your team would be fighting for the National Championship," Trump wrote.
The authenticity of the letter was confirmed by Rhona Graff, Trump's executive assistant.
Leach met informally in New York with a UM search committee in December that included Athletic Director Paul Dee. But according to UM sources, the meeting did not go well and Leach was not considered any further.
"I got the letter and I laughed," Shalala said through a university spokesman.
The Hurricanes are 5-6 heading into Saturday's regular-season finale at Boston College. A loss would keep UM out of the post-season for the first time since 1997.
Shannon said he's not bothered by critics.
"That's a part of the business that we're in," Shannon said Tuesday.
"I'm an upbeat type of guy, not just in football, in life. Whatever happens, I can always shrug it off and keep being upbeat."
