Anything less than 10 wins is IMPOSSIBLE

[Timmy T-Bags $$$]

When our projections for next years wins total is brought up there are many valid factors that are debated i.e. QB position uncertain, Not much senior leadership, very young on back end of our defense, first time head coach and I could go on and on. Why is the strength and conditioning factor never brought into the debate. They are the most important coach on the team besides the HC in my opinion. Even if you don’t agree with that you MUST agree that Feeley is 1000 times better than chubby McGee Felder. Combine our strength and conditioning program with a modern offense and a WEAK *** schedule. If we don’t get 10 wins this season I feel it is a failure.

eh 10 is possible but a lot hinges on the OL and QB. we know the D should be fine, but we had a great D last year and still won 7 games due to the QB/offensive scheme/OL amongst other things (ST). id hope were better at all three spots under an obviously upgraded coaching staff offensively, but well see. hopefully the QBs look as good as they were advertised coming out of HS

When we’ve only had 1 10win season in the last 15yrs there is no guarantee on what you’re saying. I’m tired of how many times we’ve all said we should be winning 10games in the crap coastal

Enos knows. He was told day one when walking into the building.

All depends on the O line.

Hmmm impossible sounds great.......but the real question is.....

 

[KevinCaneFace]

Y’all do this to yourselves every year. First time coach, totally new offensive system, uncertainty at QB and OL, young secondary. There are plenty of reasons we could lose games.


We could go 11-1 or 8-4. It’s all possible with the factors this team is facing.

 

[Home Slice]

Love you and want to believe you man, but yeah, it's definitely possible we don't get to 10. I could almost go for IMPROBABLE we don't hit 10, but IDK.

There's no such thing as a certain win.

Miami is built to win this year period. Don’t tell me how deep the water is just bring the ship in. Miami thoroughly out recruits any team in the acc other than Clemson. Outside of Clemson and FSU , Miami is thoroughly more talented than any other team they play, there is no excuses to be losing to some of these teams. In FACT the gap between Clemson and Miami is smaller than the gap between Miami and teams 4-14 in terms of overall talent in the acc. We should be more dominant, is Diaz the coach that makes us dominant in the acc? We will see.



If we didn’t have that debacle like last year losing 4 acc games we would be 1 or 2 games off from Clemson in acc play which is **** good.

Is it crazy to be confident. If our schedule was even remotely challenging then I wouldn’t be so confident. I have been following the Canes for a decent amount of time (born in 81) and have experienced a lot of ups and downs with plenty of disappointing season with high expectations. However I think coaching makes all of the difference in the world ESPECIALLY at the collegiate level. Plus look at this schedule and honestly tell me if you see more than 2 losses during the regular season.....

Suffice it to say I've been following the team far longer and have been down this road before.

If you or I could consistently pick the winners in a season we'd both be far richer than we are now.

Glad you're confident....but the only thing that really matters is how well the team plays vs. opponents each week and lets not forget injuries, bad breaks, bad refs...and simple bad luck because happens

I would love to win 10 plus games but it's Diaz 1st season being a HC with a new offense surrounded by new coaches....to say having less than our best year in a decade is impossible....just isn't what I'd call confidence.

But I join you in wishing that it happens.

I'm looking for a team that plays like a Miami team. If we go 8-4 (we won't) but play like a Miami team should, I wouldn't be too upset. That would be a sign that Manny has the culture going in the right direction. Randy Shannon's later teams didn't win championships but they played like a Miami team so it didn't sting as much. Then the Nevin scandle hit us.

 

[Twin_Cane]

As long as Rozier and Richt horrid offense is gone I believe our team will go 12 and zero

So you're going over?

Every year Miami is the most talented team in the coastal. We’ve had one year where we won it and it was actually like a tiebreaker type of situation.

Let’s go out and win the coastal out right. Tired of seeing this club underperform while VT and GT have made of most of the coastal appearances.

FSU 11-13? That's ridiculously bad with all the talent they've had. We've disappointed, but not nearly at that level.
