Canes vs Middle Tennessee

[RVACane]

You really thought Mario, or any coach would be able to overcome years of neglect and incompetence in 8 months?

No but you don’t lose this game, let alone like this.

This extra Covid year eligibility was a **** curse for this program, seeing Ivey & Mallory for an extra year has been a nightmare.

And can’t recruit according to some…..

 

[Mackmiller974]

5 is a good player imo
The rest are just not even good athletes
Look at the way they run, they don’t have IT

I honestly cannot believe how slow romello brinson is. Dude is like 150lbs and is out here moving like a tight end.

 

[Canesmia01]

Worse than FIU. Absolutely pathetic.

 

[Pentagon Cane]

I just threw my hat out the window.. I'm with you.. I'm gonna cancel my hotel for the UVA, and VT games. I've seen enough. We don't have the juice anymore.

You and me both. Not worth the money and more importantly time and I am in VA this month.

 

[Mr. Dynasty1]

How y’all blaming the offense more than the defense?

Did yall watch this defense?

 

[Applecane]

Mario looks like he’s in shock…

 

[Odysseus]

Dam those fools took it easy on us they could have scored 50 if they wanted to

 

[calinative umstudent]

Manny won 7 games with most of these guys

Didn’t realize we can’t win 7 this season

 

[Unsider]

this is clearly a rebuild

Ya think? Question is, do we have the right pieces in place to do it? Last week I would have defended this ****. I find it hard today…

I'm going to judge Mario the rest of the season by his ability to keep this recruiting class together this season. It's beyond clear at this point hes not a good GameDay coach despite the lies people will tell you. so the one thing he has to do well is recruit.

We all knew he wasn’t a good game day coach, we just didn’t know it was this bad

Kiffin wouldn't fix this in 8 months either. But hey, let's not let basic logic get in the way.

 

[Mackmiller974]

Much of the team quit on Mario. Too much grind, grind, grind for many of these soft players.

Team definitely looked like it didn't want to be there.

[atlcane72]

My son told me I should switch my team to Middle Tennessee

 

[kyle_schick]

Nothing changed, it's an inconsistent team, mostly because most of these guys are inconsistent in how they approach the game and preparation. I doubt these same coaches magically forgot how to coach in one week either. That said, getting guys to buy in week in and week out is tough when you have guys that have been in the program for 2-4 years that are used to being able to do stupid crap. I wouldn't be shocked if a lot of these guys have started to tune out the hard coaching, because they are soft as **** and aren't committed to doing whatever it takes to win every week. It's easy to get up for TAMU, it's not easy to bring the same kind of focus and dedication for MTSU week. That's a test of character, and let's be honest, we knew coming in a lot of these guys are soft.

Ever wonder why Jimmy Johnson never had these games? Ever wonder why Nick Saban never had these games, once he got his culture established? Guys at Bama know that if you aren't doing your job at a high level EVERY SINGLE DAY, someone is going to take your job and you will never get it back. That's culture. For the last 20+ years, that culture hasn't been at Miami, and it's going to take Mario longer than 8 months to get that going. It's going to take recruiting kids that have that kind of attitude, it's going to take building legitimate leaders to where the expectations are there even when coaches and support staff aren't in the room(People forget that coaches only spend 20 hours per week with the players), it's going to take a lot of things. Those things won't happen overnight, unfortunately we have to suffer through days like this, but Mario has shown as a coach that he can instill that culture. He didn't accomplish what he did at Oregon by accident, especially coming off the Helfrich and Taggart years...

What did Mario accomplish at Oregon. He had one nice season and that is it.
