It’s just the reality of the matter that Miami football might never come back. Historic powers can fill up 90,000+ seat stadiums and get top 10 recruiting classes even during fairly long down periods. Miami hasn’t shown the ability to do either. (As much as some people on here like pretending...

The 15 year down period really isn't an especially long time. Other programs had similar long down periods before they came back. The problem is that those other programs had more tradition than Miami football did. Seriously, other than a 20-25 year period, Miami's football history is very...

Why rehash this misery from well over a decade ago? Are we going to create similar threads on how bad almost every season since 2006 has been? I'll start by creating a thread "2007 season." Then I'll create a "2008 season" thread. Will that make the OP happy?

UVA closed out the Orange Bowl. IIRC we finished that season with a road game at BC. How can the 2014 FSU game be considered a rock bottom? It was a moral victory if you believe in moral victories. (Although everybody played FSU close that year.)

Brian Monroe only played WR during practice.

Sagarin rated our scedule 69th in 2006, and 68th in 2019. He actually had our schedule one place worse in 2006. I kind of forgot how bad the 2006 schedule was. Anyway, the missing starters against Duke is overblown. At the 1:11 mark, the video lists only 4 missing starters. One of the...

Actually, we played 6 opponents who were ranked at the time of the game. With that being said, I think the end of season top 25 is a more accurate metric. It shows that our opponents seem to have been overrated at the time we played them. And nobody finished unranked because we beat them...

Enos didn’t know he was fired at the time of the FIU game. That was the La Tech game. And the news of his firing was leaked a few hours before the game. He wouldn’t have known he was getting fired at the time he was doing the prep for the game.

There were some goofy clock rules that season that reduced scoring quite a bit. (I’m a little fuzzy on the details at this point.) Offenses are generally higher scoring now than they were in that era, but 2006 was an especially low scoring year in CFB. The median points per game for FBS teams...

Nix wasn’t Miami OC until 2007. 2006 was Rich Olson, who Miami forced Coker to hire. He was constantly fighting with Todd Berry, the QB coach who Coker had wanted to hire as OC.
