We’ve have the same weight room for nearly 20 years.

We just added a team nutritionist during the CMR regime. Let that sink in. Other schools had that in 05

And therein lies the problem. School investment into their programs began to soar in the mid 2000s, including adding never before seen positions like nutritionists. It became selling points for SEC schools. At the same time the Miami administration refused to increase their spending and kept Shannon on a low budget. It was a battle for Golden to get increased spend and a requirement for Richt to join.

But that change in the mid 2000s and our refusal to keep apace dovetails with the fall of the Canes from an elite program.
 
I am state champion athlete and my best form of my life came when I stopped all the analytics. I didn't pay attention to coaching or anything. Removed digital everything from my training. I used 1 and only 1 thing. Pure emotion and busting my *** to the limit.

I don't get into all this stuff anymore. Bust ur ***.

There is a fascinatingly documentary out there that I saw this year that goes into the current, cutting edge weight training techniques and how it is ultimately contributing to injuries to rookies joining the NBA. There were some inyeresting stats on how much time rookies miss now versus 15 years ago, and the documentary maker is tying it to today’s weight training.

What lifts? Doing squats on Bosu balls generally seems dumb to me.

Not true, The gators and lsu look more explosive on defense than we are

Burrow 15-35 for 140
LSU 3-16 on third down
One 51 yard run otherwise rushed 40 times for 105 yards.


Turds 2-10 on 3rd down
50 yards rushing on 28 attempts
Picked off Franks twice
50% of their total offense came on two plays


We gifted those two wins with terrible QB and STs coupled with horrible play calling against LSU and self destructive penalites and special team errors against UF.

They didnt out physical or dominate us in any way other than our green offensive line against the Turds, which we still overcame.

Vehemently disagree with this notion that it’s just the top schools with unlimited money.. Everyone is spending money on facilities now, Illinois just opened a 85 million dollar new facility , it’s better than what Miami has.



Nebraska has a 155 million dollar facility in the works


my overarching point is this, Miami has to get out of the mentality of just doing the bare minimum and then thinking the job is done, no you have plenty of things left to improve yeah you have a nice indoor practice facility/ new coaching rooms, some enhancement to weight rooms, but you also have a lockerroom that looks worst than a few highschool teams and majority of power5/group of 5 teams. The training table which needs to be upgraded and training and recovery room in general , lockerroom and player lounge as well and THEN Miami would be on par with elite teams in terms of facilities. Right now we are getting there but still a ways to go

you're comparing two massive state schools that have enormous alumni bases that stay in-state and/or keep supporting their program financially, to a relatively young private school with a small alumni base that flees south florida on graduation (and also sold its soul to bring in apathetic international students- thanks, donna). we have more money than the higher-ups let on previously, but nothing that can compete with those schools. if everything ends up coming down to facility arms races, then get used to being second-tier forever.
 
Nice toys! Do they help you learn snap counts so you're not jumping offsides? Help you not miss open receivers? Help with bad communication in the secondary?

No? Ok well, I'll take that money and go for better coaching for a better ROI. The glitter sure helps but nothing helps like winning

Not quite. Taken to its logical extreme Alabama will no longer be spending 160M annually against a 1.15B budget on athletics. It will be 300 or 400M for athletics. When Alabama and Texas and Clemson have operating costs that begin to exceed NFL teams (keep in mind most colleges own and have to refurbish their own stadiums, and can’t threaten to move if they do not get public financing on rebuilds), someone will blink and say enough. One of these same schools will begin to demand relief in the form of some sort of expenses cap. This problem will become much more visible in the next recession.

Maybe you should heed your own advice. Twenty two responses to my post, all 22 agree. Only one comment that doesn't, from the professional contrarian who thinks he's the one guy who reallly knows football.

If you go on a flat earth sight you will find hundreds of people upvoting that the earth is flat. Doesn't make it any truer than your ridiculous statement.
 
Technology to measure recovery, heart rate velocity, and power output is great, but only provides an easier means of record-keeping for a large number of athletes. A player doesn't need a computer to tell him he could work harder, or back off because he's fatigued and risking injury.

Miami should acquire and use these tools but as I recall the mid-1980-to-mid 90s and 2000-era teams did well without them.

The program's S&C issues the past decade-plus are the same as those on the sideline. Poor coaching.

Our last S&C coach looked like a vertical manatee and the one before that wasn’t allowed in the weight room.

Oh believe me. I know. This is going to be the guy who 5 years from now when we are losing to G5 and FCS teams saying "Murray Warmath was 2-7 with a losing record in year 6 at Minnesota and won an NC in year 7, imagine if they fired him!"
 
Facilities are important, technology can be helpful but what you really need is:

1) Naturally gifted athletes with the heart of champions & desire to bust their a@@
2) Great coaches (including the all-important S&C coach) who need to motivate, inspire & teach great form/technique

We never had the best facilities yet we absolutely dominated CFB for a long stretch. What we did have was incredible football players that had awesome work ethics, refused to lose and busted their a@@es to be champions. Ultimately, that is the single most important factor.
