    Going against the grain

    What happened in the Bowl Game might be the best thing that could have happened to us. Mario prides himself on being physical and bullying opponents as part of his philosophy. Rutgers embarrassed us in this and believe our staff will hold this over our players heads for the next 7-8 months. We...

    Acquired Skill

    Learning how to win is an acquired skill. This is something we've struggled with for a very long time and while we saw some improvements with it (Clemson and UVA) it still haunted us too often. One thing that was evident on this topic is that there wasn't once the entire season where we...

    Momentum

    An area we continue to struggle with is learning how to play with momentum. As bad as we played on Saturday, we scored an incredible TD with Allen's stellar run and on the next play Kichens scores on a Pick Six. Good teams find a way to create separation from inferior teams, especially when...

    Losers always find ways to lose

    Unlucky 13 points and questions - TVD predetermines his reads to Restrepo so badly and it's so obvious to us fans not making 6 figures like a DC to know that. He was blanketed on big downs last night and TVD still forced it there. Late in the game Horton was wide open but forced a ball to X...

    Trap Game

    GT is a dangerous game for a couple of reasons. It's easy to take an inferior team for granted when you are a 3 touchdown favorite (we've lost the last 3 times we were a double digit favorite to GT). We have one of our biggest games the following week at UNC which is so easy to look forward to...

    "Maybe the best DL class in program history"

    At the beginning of summer we heard that we might expect "the best DL class in program history" and "Jason Taylor could win Recruiter of the Year". Fast forward to the end of the summer and we've landed 1 DT and 2 DE's. Both DE's are legit and it's a position we have depth at having recruited...

    Brand by each P5 conference that doesn't have a Tier 1 past but has potential to get there after being a Tier 2 for some time. ACC - Virginia Tech B12 - Oklahoma State B10 - Wisconsin P12 - Washington SEC - Texas A&M

    Shane Beamer

    This used car salesman and hype is getting way too much hype. Media is going bananas over him for late wins over Tennessee and Clemson and now landing 5 star Harbor. Awful losses to Mizzou 6-6 at home and 6-6 Florida leading into those two games that are being ignored including their bowl game...

    Tackling

    After watching the two playoff games it's evident that these teams tackle at a different level. In particular in open space and do a good job of keeping everything in front of them. The only major outlier was the awful angle and high tackle by the Michigan on TCU's #1 on the bubble screen he...

    who was our last Assistant Coach to get a Head Coaching job elsewhere? (Danny Miaz does not count)

    Director of Player Development

    is Jorge Baez. He's on his third Head Coach indicating he brings value in some capacity. One of the things we have failed to do in the 3 Head Coaches he's worked for (Richt, Diaz, Cristobal) is actually develop players. Think it's a fair question to ask in what the **** is this guy doing and how...

    One thing we are going to find out very quickly is how our roster is valued by other coaches. If we see a bunch of guys in our soon to be mass exodus end up at prominent P5 programs or if we see them go to bottom feeder P5, G5 or FCS programs will be extremely telling. If you are in the crowd of...

    Off-Topic Twitter HQ = Miami Locker Room

    For anyone that needs clarity on the current state of our program what you are seeing going in at Twitter HQ is exactly what is going on in the Miami Hurricanes Locker Room. Times are changing and you either get on board with the changes or you get out. For those struggling with the concept of...

    Culture

    It's an overused term but an underrated one. The majority of what we are dealing with is a byproduct of exactly it. Personally, fell for the trap that many of us did in that we finally invested in the program and an established staff would fix the weaknesses from the previous staffs immediately...

    Observations from College Station

    Went to the game with my cousin and sat in the 5th row in North End Zone. Few takeaways: - size wise we were right there with "an SEC team" and felt the same could be said about speed. - the push our DL got was relentless and it was all game long - the OL worked very well together and did a...

    Going on record

    to call out Lincoln Riley. Dude will get USC back to being better but not National Title good. Could see them making the Playoff the way his Oklahoma teams did but that's his ceiling. He had Heisman's fall into his lap there and got smoked in the biggest games they played. He left to find the...
