20-4 last two seasons context

[Dwinstitles]

As Pete was saying, establish RELEVANCE! As good of a recruiter as Mario is, he had to work harder to recruit against the last two decades that Miami football was. He now has the blueprint that he orchestrated at Miami. Now, the kids coming up at MNW and STA know that during their whole high school careers, that Miami is favored 11/12 times a year. Go Canes

Yup they know its a serious operation now, its business like.

The thing about those four losses is they were by an average of what 7 points or less? Very winnable games but still a very impressive 2 year run that is only going to get better.

Average of 3.8 if you include the bowl game (5 losses). If we stay on topic, 4.5 for the 4 losses. Our largest margin of defeat in those games is 6 points in OT to SMU this year.

a win against ATM and losing to OSU
but J smith sees he can bring home a ship would be the ideal ending I want

I’m sure I’ll feel different if it happens, but for now a win over tamu will make this a successful season.

It’s already a successful season. It’s the most significant season we’ve had in TWENTY-THREE years. That’s a success.

And Mario has his faults, but he didn’t get outcoached and blown out by Norvell this year.

I'll be pretty disappointed if we don't win this next one. That said, I agree this is our best season in over 20 years.

Correct. Every loss really should have been a win. Could have easily been 12-0 regular season 2 years straight.

Watching a 21 point lead evaporate with the season on the line was some depressing ****

Miami gave those four games away
No one has actually beaten miami

Miami beat Miami 4 x in past two years!!!!

A 4 team G5 playoff as a feeder into the CFP would be kinda cool. Not sure they could make it work with the season calendar (and still give the team a week off before the first CFP game)… but I think it would be good for all involved to do it that way. Create some more meaningful games and keep the possibility of a Cinderella story alive.

There is zero reason for G5 to be in playoffs w power four
They should be seprate
End of story

Mario should be 8 and when we win Saturday he should jump to 5-6 w elko dropping to 8

Interesting. I just wrote a bunch of garble along the same lines you did. I'm very curious to see how things play out with Indiana in the next couple years. I thought he would flop this year. Then I saw their schedule. I want to see if what he's built will last.

I agree with you in terms of being curious to see how Cignetti does at Indiana in the next few years and I appreciate all the posts that attempt to explain and contextualize his success thus far. However I believe in this situation there is merit in just looking at what he has accomplished in his 1st 2 seasons regardless of who they have played, how many road games they played or how many transfers they took and saying that Curt Cignetti is a **** good coach regardless of when the law of averages catches up to him. What he has accomplished at Indiana in his 1st 2 years has been downright divine.
