    We need a dude at running back

    Dmoney and others told us that Fletcher was going to be that guy. Spoiler alert....he's not. His vision stinks. Can't find a hole unless it's right in front of his face and he has this awkward way of running right into defenders. When he gets to the second level, he can't break a tackle or...

    There will always be important decisions for the head coach to make

    That is the problem for Mario going forward. This year it was kneeling and it was also having a feel for when to bench Van Dyke etc (newsflash, a coach with a good feel for decision making would have already benched him.) Last year he had to hire an entire staff and there were major failures...

    The loss is 1000000% on Mario, but I'd still like to discuss the fumble call

    It's Mario's fault. This thread isn't to take blame away from him. Now that that has been established. Let's talk about the fumble. Looking at the replay it was quite obvious that the elbow was in grass and then the ball was stripped afterwards. There was a replay angle (from the endzone I...

    Media coverage: MIAMI HURRICANES FANS ALREADY HATE MARIO CRISTOBAL

    Coaches deserve most of the blame. Here's why.

    Buy in. The coaches didn't get it from these players. Even from early on you could see the disinterest and blank stares from TVD and others on offense. As a coach you have your philosophy (what you're all about and what we're gonna do) and then you have the implementation of that philosophy...

    All in on Mario is the "Miami" thing to do and therefore completely wrong

    Have we learned nothing? At this time there should only be one must for this coaching search. That it is full and thorough and all candidates are considered and fully vetted. There is no candidate out there that is good enough that we should go after them alone and forego a full search...

    Cam Harris...summed up in one play

    Late in the first half, Harris took a pitch to the right. One defender being blocked and nothing but green grass for as far as the eye can see...... This run ends up being a 4 yard gain. To ***** this up is almost unfathomable. It's hard to imagine even the most pedestrian rb only gaining...

    Last play of the game (4th and 10)

    I've seen some people be critical of this play call but it was actually a very smart call. Lashlee correctly anticipated an all out blitz. A defender was likely to come free (which is exactly what happened) which means the qb will have little time to throw to guys running past the sticks. So...

    Two things I'd like to see Lashlee focus on right now

    1. Help King regain his confidence. That Clemson game rattled him. Remember the King against Louisville and FSU that was sustaining long drives with deadly short/medium range accuracy? Every time he dropped back I felt like something good was going to happen. Hadn't felt like that about one...

    Team Psychology For Big Games

    In sales there is a closing technique called "assumptive sale" or "assuming the close." It's a common tactic where you already assume the the customer has said yes to the sale and you start talking about the next steps. I wish that we would do that with regards to our team's psychology with...

    Something to watch with Lashlee going forward

    Can he make in game adjustments? That's something to keep an eye on. He didn't really have to do that the first three games, we had success pretty much all game. But in this game he was stonewalled from the first snap. He wasn't able to make an adjustment and get the offense going. That, to...

    Amari Carter

    He's a dinosaur. He's the equivalent of the enforcer in the nhl. A type of player that has become extinct. Enforcer safeties have no use in today's game. None at all. He should probably never see the field again. But at the very least he needs to be second string and only be pressed into...

    Quick thoughts

    We showed up scared and intimidated. The amount of mental errors was astounding. Penalties. Knuckleheaded plays. You name it. We didn't have 5 gazillion stupid penalties against other teams but against these guys, we did. Why? We were scared. That's embarrassing, especially considering...

    Who were those moronic analysts

    that said before the season FSU was heading in a better direction than Miami. Can we bump those threads please.

    Redding

    In the very limited time I saw him tonight I will say this...this guy looks the part. For whatever reason I immediately thought of Reggie Wayne seeing him play. I'm expecting big things from him.

    The Last Drive

    We ran 15 plays and taking away the two PI calls, we gained 19 yards. 15 plays....19 yards of actual, earned, moving forward.

    immediate post game thoughts...

    Was that the worst oline play of any game in miami history? Williams was running for his life on almost every play. Enos had a wonderfully scripted first drive with easy passes in the hands of playmakers to move the chains. Then....????? I can't even say long developing passing plays weren't...
