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.

You could have said the bold part to make a valid point, the rest is just a waste of time. I can just as easily say that in that short time frame this program has done things no other program (including "blue bloods") has ever accomplished. It's more than possible to achieve special results at Miami, but you must have competent people in the right places to make it happen. Obviously.............................Miami doesn't.

You left out the most-important part; a small alumni base and fact that most fans have no ties to the program, other than caring about sports.

Alumni write checks and donate back to the program in a big way at state schools with powerhouse football programs; "fans" with no ties to the school don't. They ***** on message boards, or stop going to games—especially in a pro sports town, where they can easily shift their focus. The Canes to them are no different than the Heat, Dolphins, etc.—just another local team to pull for, but no ties like you would have with one's university.


Georgia just invested $200,000,000 into athletics over the past year—much of which came from boosters and alum. Their "Magill Society" saw 1,100+ new sign-ups in 2018—a $25K minimum donation to be a member which makes those new sign-ups worth a minimum of $27,500,000 towards athletics; namely football.


Fans "demanding" something special doesn't mean ****. People want something special; write more checks and financially support this program.

The administration is going to deal with what is. Numbers don't lie. Yup, they rely on that ACC money and adidas check because that's about all they're getting.

Let me know the day Miami has something comparable to what Georgia has and 1,100 new sign-ups take place over the course of a year, with fans on the hook for a minimum $25,000 donation—and I'll show you the day this administration goes balls-out to build a winner.

Money talks. Everything else is just message board blah-blah-blah. Georgia fans pony up big cash (as do all SEC alum); Miami fans doing a $495 GoFundMe for a banner to say they thing the AD sucks—and dude who organized it had to cover the final $40. Says it all right there.
 
Bro but we got da talent base dog no other team looses more local talent then da U

it makes it even worst when we loosing every week to see other team like Alabama Crimsons with player from Miami - Four Lauderlade area.

Need to find a real coach who will built a fence around Dade County so we stop loosing recruits!!

We should follow Rollins College and drop football. There was a time when Rollins was our rival in football. The schools are quite comparable. Two private Florida schools. Beautiful campuses in affluent neighborhoods with emphasis on education.

This last hiring blunder showed me the exact opposite. It happened so fast that the only logical conclusion was panic and reactionary decision making with no regards to future implications. As @Ethnicsands stated...........you could argue negligence. You don't invest into that type of managing, it's a serious problem regardless of what resources are available..............especially when the same mistake is now being repeated.

Things are cyclical.

Oklahoma was down for a decade, from 88 to 99. 3 different coaches, a handful of losing seasons.
Aside from Pete Carroll's string of successful years, USC has been up and down for several decades.
ND hasn't had sustained success since the Lou Holtz years. A handful of 10/11/12 win seasons over 5 coaches since the early 90s.
Texas? Aside from the Mack Brown years, they've been up and down--they haven't strung together more than a couple top-20 finishes since the early 70s.
Pre-Dabo, Clemson hadn't finished in the top-10 since 1991.
You can run down the list...UF? FSU? Tennessee? Georgia? All of them have had extended runs of mediocrity. Some have risen back up (UGA, for example), some are still trying to find that magic (Tennessee).


We recruit well enough that we should be able to rule to the ACC coastal year in, year out. SoFla talent is still among the best in the nation, and we get enough of it to be more competitive than we've been in a long time.

But it takes a combo of the right coach, right staff, and right players that we haven't been able to put together in a while.
 
Played for like 11 titles in 30 years. No spinning that pal. What I take from that reach of a poRst was one common theme: It takes elite coaching for us to reach our potential. We haven't had that in almost two decades.. and it shows.

So its the fans fault we are in this predicament? Now you want us to donate more money for a product that is, and had been for a decade , complete horse****? Dont make this about the fans. We dont get paid to run a football operation.

Bottom line is that we are paying $7m-$9m in salary for coaches that are worth $1M combined. If the admin made better decisions with the resources they have, we wouldn't be struggling vs Central Michigan and losing at home as 18 pt favorites to the worst Gtech team in 20 years.

I'm not, nor should anyone else, continue to give resources to the school so they could be flushed down the toilet with terrible hires, undeserved contract extensions, and BS buyout payments.

I agree that it will take elite coaches to reach potential. Today, elite coaches go to Alabama, Ohio State, OU, Michigan, Penn State, etc. They all have the same things in common. $$$, Commitment to football, amazing home stadiums, alumni. We have NONE of that.

People here need to think about the difference between necessary and sufficient.

I could swear I read on this site that our resources weren’t a disadvantage.

Exactly my point! In our microwave, we could win with speed, innovation, swagger, etc. However, college football has grown and evolved. "those things" are now required if you want consistent success. Same top 10 - 15 teams year after year with the same things in common. UCF has "those things" and interesting how they've suddenly been bowling against SEC teams.

We really have no hope until at least we replace our AD
