learn what coach and player speak is moron. the fact that a player put any blame on the coaches is enough to tell you it's closer to 100% coaches fault.

Scheme should be simplified. Miami should play like the FSU 2014 game first half all 2015 season and we will win 11 games.

We would win more than 11 games. Of course we don't have 2 first round picks and several NFL draft picks on this current team either.

In college football the coach is 100% responsible for his entire roster. There is no GM. If the players he recruited can't figure his stuff out, that's still on him. Sorry.
 
Such a tired discussion but I don't even fault the anony....DP.....mous source for believing this as he technically probably is right. The problem obviously falls with the fact that there aren't 10 other clones of him lining up next to him on D. A guy like anony...DP....mous is going to kill it on the NFL level because he can already understand NFL type defenses. A guy like D'Onofrio will probably always underachieve on the college level because he seemingly can ONLY understand NFL defenses. I guess that chapter about adapting to your environment got left behind at Kinkos when Alfredo was putting together the Binder of Wisdom.

Kinda funny. Players have personally told me the opposite. And, for those who are skeptical, I stated as such on here before things got really bad. When most on here still wanted Golden and he was dubbed "The Don." I'm not saying it's 100% coaches. I'm saying that article reads like a PR piece.

i also agree with this last part. that's what i thought of also. DP was always very friendly, supportive of the coaches. i think that's part of his makeup and character.
 
The players keep leaving and the results stay the same or get worse.
It's clear to me that the current players believe Golden is the man for the job and are buying into #TheTeam . No more excuses, Golden either proves us wrong by winning big this year or needs to get out of town.

This. The player speaking represents less than 15% of the 2014 team.
 
Honestly, the scheme could probably work, if Donofrio just did what the players wanted, let them play more instinctively and attacking.
It's really ******* simple. And when its 4th and goal, run a ******* goal line defense, not a 3 man front. It isn't complitcated really, just don't be a ******* idiot, and understand your players' strengths. Here you need to lets the athletes we have be athletes, you can't cage them like you can for those northeast schools. We aren't Rutgers or Nebraska; We are Miami, and we have more talent than almost every team in the country, and all but maybe 2 in the ACC (FSU and Clemson).

Players never lie to the media.

I was amazed watching the pre-game difference between Miami and Louisville in that Bowl game.

We looked very stiff in pre-game, with the exception of Jamal Carter. And I watched the staff tone him down. It was almost as if they didn't want any emotion, and the team looked very "robotic".

In contrast, the majority of Louisville's team had the emotions of Jamal Carter. They were geeked from pre-game, on ... And any success they had fed into their emotion. They were "settling" for FG's on offense, and they were still amped! gave up a safety ... Still amped!

Our guys had very minimal emotion. Everything was very stuffy and controlled. Even the "arm-in-arm lock and sway" our guys do at kick-off looks forced and lame.

That's definitely a culture that comes from the HC and the staff.

Those kids at Louisville during Strong's tenure...

Look how hungry (and nasty) those kids play. They're completely loose.

Many of those players are from the same area as our kids. However, when we play Louisville they look like the old Miami, not us.

Coaching (and culture) is 100% responsible for that.

Because they're from the Northeast. I played my college football up there. Those dudes up there have no clue how we get down in Florida. They don't play football with the same (forgive me for using this word) "swagger".

And that arm-lock/sway thing is super corny. I can almost guarantee that the kids hate it. It's embarrassing.

Butch Davis would never have to worry about motivation. Kids were scared to death of him.

This is just not true. No one was afraid of Butch. What they were afraid of was hearing, "whoooooooooop, whoooooooooop, whoooooooop, whoooooooop" when they got into the locker room and being called out by one of the team leaders and getting their *** kicked in the locker room. This is one of the things our team today lacks. Team leaders that will whoop someones *** for dogging it in the game and in practice. I liked DJ, DP, and our seniors, but not one of them was a true leader and to be honest I don't know if we have one on our team right now. Great teams don't need coaches to motivate and great players don't need coaches to motivate them, plain and simple. Wanting to be great comes from within no matter the scheme, how complex, or anything else.

I have a buddy that played for Butch and that team was frightened of him.
