Coaching Looks are Deceiving....

[HOLISTIC CANE]

Good post OP .

I think the Canes of that era could have easily adjusted their defensive scheme to thwart today's type of offenses. It's ALL in the players and those teams definitely had players.

I recall when Houston came down with their run and shoot offense averaging like 50+ points a game or something ridiculous like that and they thought they would throw up and down the field on us until they saw our linebackers were running stride for stride with their receivers.

I think we hold our own with today's offenses.

It's not the scheme so much, it's the technique. Our CBs, especially Ryan McNeil, would be getting flagged every play due to their physical style. Now I still think we'd win with our pass rush, but it'll be ugly.

I thought Onofrio was the best

Facts he was the king of bringing Flagg type safeties

Is that his refugee pic?

Why is it hard to imagine? Do you think all football coaches look like Jack Lambert?

I think Lubick was from the Dakotas or Montana but in OP's photo he looks more like a like the assistant gm of a 1970's Cadillac dealership actually in Lubbock, Texas.

Hired Urban Meyer to his CSU staff.

 

[Samson Doyo]

Those were good times. If I remember correctly Lubick wasn’t big on blitzing either. Just lined up and said beat us if you can and most didn’t. Fast and nasty as a whole. More gang tackles than you could ever believe. 11 Canes on the ball pretty much.

Go Canes!

That was a brutal night for Houston's program in OB.

Defense of the 80s isn’t working on todays spread offenses.

Great run and loved the way those teams play but need to adapt for the ways offenses play now.

UMs Defenses from 88-92 would lay waste today

UMs Defenses from 88-92 would lay waste today

The speed those teams had would translate...

Moar sack opportunities as well...

We not only won, but destroyed Houston's program fir the next decade..

The OB was electric that Thursday night!

Miami bad boys humble Houston in 40-10 win

You look at this Guy (The GOAT UM DC Sonny Lubick)....and it's hard to imagine he was the Architect of the Greatest 5yr CFB Defensive runs in the last 35+ yrs. His Defenses were/are the epitome of how UM Defense should be played. One of my favorite UM Coaches ever.View attachment 169312

Iunno OG; my guy looks mafia-esq.

Iunno OG; my guy looks mafia-esq.

What ya sayin?, My boy has that "Gallo" look to his ***??

 

[Munderwood]

Iunno OG; my guy looks mafia-esq.

Was thinking the exact same thing. Looks like if you didnt play well, well do we need to discuss this any further??
