💩 just got real. We're not F'ing around. If Mario can't do it, shut the program down.

Lmao at those who thought we were running a 3 man front

I’m a 40 front guy. But bringing in Big Joe, I was reading tea leaves. I prefer us to stay in a 40 front with the ability to be multiple out of it.

You also fellated Manny when he brought beer to a Coaching Conference.

 

[DTP]

I’ll keep an eye out for the mysterious walk-on sporting the 69 jersey, splitting a pitcher of beer with Lou Hedley on the sidelines.

 

[Edalaw783]

Went to the elite camp Saturday.
First and foremost...
Completely different energy around the program right now.

Some notes...

1. Elite prospects all over. I think we all knew that, but to see all these kids in person is a different ballgame. First thing Miami did after having kids/family sign in, is measure every prospects's height and weight. You had to do that before you even entered the building. I made the coaches do me, and after measuring in at 6'2" 307lbs they asked if I had any eligibility left to add to the DT depth. So if you guys see an unknown walk-on on the roster this spring, or a player on the sideline eating lemon pepper wings between possessions, you'll know who it is. I'm trying my best to get jersey #69.

2. We are no longer fvckin' around. There will be no more excuses. There is full investment and we are finally trying to play with the big boys. Mario revealed the plans for a completely new football building/facility. Mario requested no pics/videos so we weren't able to get shots of it...but it's serious. Bama level facilities. He said the building will likely be 4/5 stories high. THE BEST OF THE BEST. No stone unturned. Massive weight room with 20 built-in platforms and the entire wall will be made of glass, with a full view of the practice field. A ridiculous student lounge with the latest technology and videos games. A cafe that seats 150 people. The list goes on and on. It's simply much easier to just describe it as BEST OF THE BEST. Nobody will have the facility advantage on us anymore, including Bama.

3. I was told by Salavea and Stroud that we will be running a 4-front. It'll be a 4-2-5 structure. We we not be basing out of an Odd front, so we can throw those speculations out of the window. It's still possible that we could get Dorlus from Oregon. He will play mainly DE here. Salavea is not allowed to communicate with him any longer, so the ball is in Dorlus' court. We'd all love to see him come home, but Oregon is negative recruiting Miami and talking about how we don't even have a DC yet. I know Dorlus is tired of playing inside (DT) so much, but he kinda had to at Oregon. What he might fail to understand is, if he stays at Oregon he'll continue to play inside. Lanning is a 3-4 guy. At Miami he'll play outside. Salavea is pumped about the young talent at DT here, and really NEEDS Dorlus at DE. Let's hope the kid comes home. Salavea said he's an early round draft pick.

4. ENERGY, ENERGY, ENERGY! Everybody Mario has brought so far has big energy. Salavea gets pumped the **** up when he speaks about ball, very animated. Can't say whether he's better or worse than Simpson, but he's DIFFERENT. Simpson doesn't give you the feeling that he would ring your neck or that he could still suit up if he had to. Salavea, on the other hand, might walk into a kid's living room and scare him into signing with Miami.
Feld is a certified lunatic. When we arrived to the event, he had a group of players in the weight room lifting so we got to watch him in action. When we spoke in front of the crowd, he was the only one who declined to use a microphone. Dude would rather shout. He talked about neck strength, which was interesting, and placing an emphasis on core. Doesn't care to have a roster full of guys who can squat 600lbs but can't play ball and/or stay healthy or be explosive/flexible. One of the players I spoke to likes Feld much better than the last guy. He said the last guy was all about "punishing" players, and just working them, instead of being more focused on actual goals. (not verbatim, but that was the gist) He just said that Feld is more detailed. Words used to describe him were "lit" and "beast".

5. You can see how/why Mario's staff recruits well. Mirabal, Mario and Salavea are all very personable, humble and people oriented. None of that pompous/nerd energy that Manny and some of the former guys oozed from their skin. We literally had a discussion at the event about this issue. (a few HS guys and I) Mario gives off a much more genuine and personable energy. Even one of the position coaches kinda eluded to this. He also said that under Manny we were "figuring stuff out", like on the fly. Mario is like 'boom, boom, boom' this is WTF is going on. This is what happens when you hire an experienced/qualified guy.

6. THERE ARE NO MORE EXCUSES!!! Whatever resource Miami doesn't have, it's coming. We've got big-time people backing Mario. We've got money. We will soon have EVERYTHING the big dawg programs have. All the same toys. We also have a local 7-on-7 team full of elite talent that is funded/sponsored by Ruiz. That's a massive resource that many programs do not have. It's about to get A LOT harder for other schools to come down here and snatch our kids. AND IT'S ABOUT TO BECOME IMPOSSIBLE TO NEGATIVE-RECRUIT AGAINST MIAMI. They won't be able to point at our lack of resources, point at our facilities, point at our staff, etc. Plus we're fvckin' located in a world renowned city.

IF MARIO CAN'T DO THIS, PACK UP THE PROGRAM!!!
Because we're about to have everything we need. If the play-calling/coaching is halfway decent WE BACK.

Thanks for the update!!!!

I knew someone was going to bring this up lol but he was also one of the first to call Manny out for being a bunch of smoke and mirrors. He points out the good and bad. When he started calling Manny out early on he went from loved insider to mope real fast in the board's eyes.

Only thing you can do is call stuff as you see it. The new "energy" is kinda common for any new coach around the league, most say that, but do you think if Manny was here we would be talking about upgraded facilities and already have renderings and it appears like some stuff will start getting built soon? that is a tangible asset we did not have before.

@Coach Macho

so Belk is the DC. He’s the only dude that play 4-2-5 that we’re publicly attached to.

 

[JHallCanes]

Probably the best thing I’ve ever read on here

same thing I was thinking

 

[Hurracanes]

Pretty sure I have seen a big guy with a 69 jersey ordering wings at Flanny's.

Fellated?
No. I know WTF fellation is like. I see it every night from your girl.

I TOLD THE STORY, gave some props, etc. But that's where it stopped. I also came on here and told yall how arrogant he was a year or so later.

 

[KANE]

Where did it look like the football facility was going?

My guess is since he said that it's gonna be overlooking the practice field......

 

[brevardcane]

Best thread I’ve read on here in a very long time!

 

[AUcane]

This is something I've been harping on.

Our nutrition was a joke.

I thought we brought in a food and nutrition guy years ago with richt? I knew **** wasn’t right when the official college site was promoting nutrition and showing the kids drinking Cinnamon Toast Crunch smoothies and burnt sausages and dried out eggs. It was sad

 

[LuCane]

Still curious how we'll invest in the quiet side of infrastructure: brain power. More analysts. More smart admin. More strategists.

Donaldson was a walking red flag that nothing had changed. You don't see anyone on the big boys looking like that. Yeah it's on the player but its on the team to enforce accountability to anyone who can't stay in the lines. Turns out there was no accountability and no guidelines.

Exactly bro. LOL
I've always been objective. Their like/dislike for me changes depending on the whether my info jives with their dreams or not.

 

[JL 2014]

things sure have changed since Mark Richt had to put in $1 million OF HIS OWN MONEY just to get an indoor facility
