    Let’s talk tackling and wrasslin brother

    Assuming the other posters jerk comment was in response to mine - the HC doesn't have to be an 80's movie, John Hughes manufactured jerk. But, he MUST have the fear and respect of the players. Butch wasn't considered a jerk by the press, but you better believe he was a "jerk" when it was just...

    Let’s talk tackling and wrasslin brother

    LB recruiting has been terrible, but everything else has been more than good enough to beat MSU and most of everyone else on our schedule. The coaching and leadership has to get better if we're going to get back to where we should be. I grant you the linebacker position, but the other 20...

    We're bringing in plenty of talent - that's not it. The team follows the HC. Richt was the HC during Manny's "glory years" therefore overall toughness and leadership was with Mark, a former Cane and SEC coach. Manny is soft, therefore the entire team is soft.

    I mean, that seems so obvious. It really is true. The only time when I could see making the argument that it isn't completely true was when Rick was coaching the Huskies and they beat us in Washington. Even then, I think he had enough tough guys on staff to make up for him. But anyway, yeah...

    Those words in bold are sooooo important!! It's similar to the adage, "You have to spend some money to make some money." or "You can't make an omelette without breaking a few eggs." Miami was built on toughness and we are damp Charmin weak right now.
