That game was 100% on poor defensive line play. It's not like they were blowing guys off the ball and shoving dudes over. They would let Miami's linemen rush wildly upfield with no gap responsibilities and just run through the giant holes they left.

Searles, like most coaches has looked good when he had a really talented team to work with and looked pretty poor when working with lesser offenses. He's been a bit of a journeyman but has made some good connections. He worked with Richt in Georgia and at MIami. Before that he was at LSU under...

Why did you think we went from near the bottom of FBS in offense in 2019 to 32nd in 2020? We switched to a scheme that wasn’t totally reliant on having an incredible offensive line. I feel like your whole argument here is a season late. Miami has already made that change.

Truth is, our 80’s and 90’s championship teams didn’t have great offensive lines either. We had some solid individual players but those teams were based around elite quarterback play and superior athletes at skill positions. Miami was never a power running offense outside of those few seasons in...

Yeah Dan Morgan was a high school running back. I had the unenviable task of trying to tackle him back in 1996. He did play some defense for Taravella because you just can’t keep an athlete like that off the field but he was recruited to play running back. Butch was obviously super short handed...

OL coach is one of the more important position coaches because linemen are almost never plug and play. They all need to be developed. It’s also a position that has a relatively high bust rate so identifying player types is a major skill

Because being fast at linebacker doesn't matter if you have no instincts. You can coach a guy until you're blue in the face but if he doesn't have that nose for the ball, he'll never be a good linebacker. Our most awarded defensive player in team history was recruited as a running back and moved...

Clemson has had success by scheming around the fact that they rarely have a great line. They don't line up and just attempt to bully teams. Last year's unit was particularly weak for their standards...
