    1999 Era Recruiting vs Today (Derailed Maason Smith thread)

    Rankings and this discussion aside, what an incredible story and inspiration Frank is. I can’t begin to imagine the work it took to overcome that to qualify, let alone become one of the best RB in the history of the sport. One of my favorite Canes, mainly because of that.

    If I remember correctly, I thought part of Frank’s recruitment was impacted by his learning disability? It’s been a minute but I thought that was part of it?

    To be clear, I don’t blame them at all. Part of being in college is growing into your voice and offering your opinion freely. Dee was paid well to make tough and difficult decisions. He either was going to bend to the players or Shalala in that decision. At least he chose the people who play...

    Agree 100% on Alvarez vs Coker. He at least knew how to run a program, even if it was in a different mold from what Miami needs. I don’t really remember, but I thought it was just the two of them mentioned for the job? D would know better. Agree on the first point as well. My main question...

    Well, for one I am asking D, a grown man, that question 19 years later with hindsight, life experience, wisdom, and the knowledge of how it turned out. If Coker managed to win 5 titles, that meeting would have gone down in the program’s annals. I look back on decisions and conversations from...

    Hard to have full regret with a title on the official books and whatever happened in 02, and yes, hindsight is both 20/20 and a *****. I’m sure many conversations have happened over the years between y’all who lived it and the what-ifs. Appreciate you answering that.

    I know you were around in that general time, and the story has been told that the players pretty much forced Dee into hiring Coker. Ignoring the fact that Alvarez would have been the successor, have any of the guys that forced Dee into Coker ever regretted that ultimatum with how it turned out...

    I haven't seen this here, but I can't imagine Hundley decommitting/getting dropped from LSU was a coincidence and unrelated.

    Really went out on a limb there and added value to the board. Please keep it coming.
