An SEC staff / Program

[Notsince1985]

I see that term thrown out around, and while I hate the SEC and SEC snobbery, I think there's some validity to it. Right now the ACC is in another class from the SEC. Clemson and FSU are the two programs that look like SEC programs. So far, everything Mark Richt has done is aimed towards changing the culture here and putting Miami on par with Clemson and FSU, which means the SEC, which means the elite of college football. I have to believe you'll see continued improvements to facilities and budgets all around as well. He knows how to run a successful SEC program, and that's what we're going to see here. Will it translate to national titles? That I don't know. I know we'll win coastal and ACC titles, which will put us in play for the whole thing. Hopefully Richt can "win the big one" here.

With the new staff, I feel like the coastal is in reach. ACC title could be hard, but not impossible. After we nail some good classes, then I feel like we can fully compete with teams like Clemson in the Atlantic. Hopefully we can get back to championship aspirations. This past decade and a half of mediocrity has killed the expectations for this program, we need to establish ourselves once again as a premier team in college football.

For the sake of not crediting the SEC in any manner lets deem Kool and Diaz former Big 12 coaches and Searles an ACC one.

I hate this. FSU and Clemson are not SEC programs. They're winning programs. They're doing the things it takes to win. Just like Ohio State and Michigan now with Harbaugh are winning programs. And Oklahoma and Stanford and TCU and so on. It's not an SEC or non SEC program, it's a winning program or a non winning one. Crap like this just contributes to the over inflated egos of the SEC and their overrated yearly rankings.

Winning the coastal shouldn't be a goal. With a real coach we could've competed with Clemson and beat FSU this year. I don't understand this narrative that it will take a couple years for us to reach our goals. I'm not expecting Miami to make the playoffs next year, but I can easily see them playing in a prestigious bowl next.

We can claim Mark Richt as ACC also, since he played and got his coaching roots here lol...Thomas Brown's first big job was not in the SEC lets throw him in the big 10 category

Winning the coastal shouldn't be a goal, We had better win it. With a real coach we could've competed with Clemson and beat FSU this year.

Clearly you misread my post because we completely agree. I said it could be hard to win the ACC, but I believe it's within reach. I also said I want us to get back to championship expectations.

Yessir. Haha. Whatever success Richt had in the mighty SEC was actually due what he learned in Miami and Tallahassee. Yes, I'm willing to toss a bone to the freakin' Noles rather than bow down to the SEC.

I don't think op intentions were to do that I think it's because 90% of our staff has come from sec teams and our coach just spent 15 years coaching in the sec so he's familiar with that level of competition.

I hate the sec. And I mean hate with a passion. However, the sec is better than the Acc and richt will bring a new level of Competition to Miami

We need an SEC admissions department too.

 

[shayleon]

Why must so many misunderstand every post that has SEC in the title. I hate the SEC too but lets be real, SEC is considered the standard for Elite play. Richt competed at a high level in the SEC so if he bring that standard to Miami, we might get back to the Miami of old.

8-2 in the bowl games including many routs plus Bama in the Championship game. Hard to say the SEC is overrated.

i think he's just doing what he knows and his knowledge has been coaching in the sec for 15 years.

Look at each game and you will notice that most of the SEC teams had favorable matchups.

I agree, sorta.

Winning the coastal is an objective, not a goal. Winning the acc championship is an objective, not a goal. Getting into the playoff's is an objective and winning the whole **** thing is THE GOAL.

Ya see, if you ain't winning the coastal . . . then, you ain't winning the acc . . . and if you ain't winning the acc . . . then, you ain't get'n the opportunity to win the whole **** THING!

Regarding SEC Envy:

Whether we like it or not the SEC is a recruiting magnet and the perception is that SEC coaching is a clear path to the NFL. Now, the reality is only LSU has more player's in the NFL than Miami. I get that but, we're dealing with perception not reality.

So, as Richt builds his staff he's going hire the highest quality coaches he knows will work well in his system. Having coached in the SEC for 15 years, he knows the best SEC coaches for his system. And the plus for recruiting is . . . that he is going to get those recruits that had Miami on their list but, their perception was, the SEC school and coaching would be a better move for their future NFL value. That's how it's been. Now it's about to change.

Funny how after last bowl season all the smart guys were yapping about the fall of the SEC and now that the SEC is winning again in bowl season they are pushing it off on match ups. The SEC is the best football conference in college football and it's not even close. They may have a down year here and there, but consistently the best. If Miami were in the SEC and not a basketball conference you would be beating the SEC drum louder than anybody out there.

Color me shocked, a gator fan that thinks the SEC is the best. Go look at the matchups and refute what I said.

As for it being the best conference, I'm sure it is some years, other years its not. Your "its not even close" comment is absurd.

And no, I would not beat the drum because I do not cheer for conferences. I cheer for one team, the Miami Hurricanes. Conference pride is simply a way for teams that do not succeed to ride the coattails of successful teams.
