Its ashame he coaches Indiana and happen to beat Miami. I like Cignettis ****y arrogance. Plus he backs it up.
Did you notice Saban never making one comment about Cig all season long until he had to speak of all four semi final HC's being from his coaching tree? He said, Frank Cignetti was one of his mentors and he had a ****y son. That's his one comment all season. Odd, huh? Everyone involved with the playoffs and at ESPN now know what a complete d*** he is and the culture of his program. You can't put that back in the bag now. The University of Miami surely won't. He can f*** off.
 
They did not knock Miami’s OL back much. They slanted and slipped by them a bunch. They overcommitted from the B gap inside and we didn’t come prepared to make them consistently pay enough. We opened the second half with outside zone and immediately went for an explosive. Let’s see how they rebuild.

My eyes must have deceived me then as I focused on line play quite a bit and I saw our left line get no push on multiple run plays including in the second half.

Sounds like we may be arguing semantics. I read your initial post as knocking Miami’s OL back. I’ve only rewatched that nightmare once, but i saw Indiana’s OL get into our backfield or move our guys back when they slanted and slipped our OL. I’d tell you I would rewatch to write notes, but I won’t do it again for a long while.

We should have run outside zone or off tackle all first half too
 
I am personally going to keep an eye on their program and cheer when it fails.

Define fails. Slip back to 9-3? Because the last time they did that pre-Cignetti was 1967, and before that 1945. What that guy has done is stunning. He’s an arrogant prick but a **** impressive coach.

Whatever, I’m bored with defending a guy I don’t even like. But I do respect him as a quality opponent. One way or the other we’ll see how it turns out.

You are right. I said knock back when the reality is they didn’t knock our OL back but instead didn’t give ground when we run blocked. Which is less impressive but still IMO **** impressive considering the athletic talent gap. I’ll try to be more precise with my description next time.

They were unfortunately ahead of us. When I rewatched, they basically knew our early conversion attempts and filled directly into where we ran. Frustrating. Against a team like that, their primary chance is to be ahead of you on tendencies.

Playing with a conventional 3 linebacker set instead of nickel helped too. Something we seemed to barely do.

There is absolutely no reason I’m aware of to have played that #46 dude with the respect we did. The way they picked on our #24, we needed to find ways to stress their #46 and #7. I had envisioned that dude chasing guys around the way we saw glimpses of their D in the second to last drive (ending in a 20+ yard Mali TD). They looked stuck in the mud during that drive.

There’s no possible way to argue either point…he is an arrogant prick of an impressive coach.
