We were nothing before 1980. Howard landed several local all-americans and several good QBs and we shocked the world beating Nebraska. Jimmy elevated our game by introducing college football to speed and swagger. Erickson maintained it and introduced a new, innovative offense. Butch identified and developed talent better than anyone in the nation. Coker just... managed it.
THEN... reality hit.
College football has evolved/adapted. Everyone is fast; everyone has swagger. (Jimmy's impact)
We're not innovative! If anything, our offense has been archaic outside of Jedd Fisch. (Erickson's impact)
We're not recruiting the right players and/or we're not developing them (Butch's impact)
We were nothing before 1980 and we're back to being who we are. Nothing. Our facilities are nothing, our administration is nothing, we still don't have stadium within 45+ minutes of our campus, we have very low attendance for everything but a national game. We have no answer and nothing to offer.
Diaz is the best example of an administration that doesn't understand Miami football. Just keep things stable, vanilla and easy. They'll happily take their cut from the ACC, and happy with a bowl appearance
And we'll continue living in the past demanding results as if we're something special.
