I’m not saying coaching didn’t play a role. But it also comes down to depth. How many times did we get off to a good start in those years and the. Struggle down the stretch. It goes both ways. But ultimately, I don’t think we were as talented and as deep as we needed to be
Nope, 2019 is a new year...time to up the stakes..."this is the year we win the ACC" LULZ
I used to be the same. Until I came to the realization that there were just key games where our guys got out talented and whipped. It was all scheme. We got blown off the bell or flat out couldn’t block up front
Outside of rival fans, the Manny hire and subsequent Enos hire have been considered home runs.
Very true, but Manny didn't come back to be HC, shït-canned the whole offensive staff and part of the recruiting department, stole Enos from Satan, just to go out and lose to the likes of Duke and Virginia. I think Manny will consistently win us the Coastal, but just winning a division title isn't the standard at UM. Can he win the ACC and gets us in the playoffs? Time will tell.
Va Tech?!? Thats laughable. Do they realize that Va Tech just lost half of their team?!? Clowns
It's always been scheme -- aka coaching -- and this is honestly the first coaching staff I've felt confident about in the past 10 years. Combine that with the talent we always have and I'll be more shocked than I've ever been if we don't come out with the coastal.
Really man? You think the Clemson game was all coaching? The Notre Dame game in 12. And countless countless more. We’ve seen sorry to mediocre coaching staffs win the coastal. We just havent been as overwhelming talented and most importantly deep as we as fans perceived..and this a staff that I feel very confident in also. But if we don’t find a oline and QB it might be 8 or 7 win season again
You don't need an elite team to win the coastal. Those blow out losses were against quality opponents. We still had a team decent enough to beat our coastal opponents those years if it weren't for the disasters coaching us.
Ehhh... there's maybe a handful of games you can go back to over the last decade and say "we got whipped because that team had much better players than us". These losses to the Virginias, Dukes, UNCs and Pitts of the world (the ones that cost us division titles) weren't because they had better talent then Miami. Nobody here is saying Miami would have gone undefeated every year with capable coaching and schemes but they sure as **** would have won the division more times than not.
Talented teams don’t lose to less talented teams on annual basis like we had. And those “lesser teams” all of a sudden had elite *** coaching now lol..no doubt coaching played a role. But we were not a good and as deep as we thought we were all those years. That’s fact man
Have u seen the coastal?
We haven’t fallen short in a division of mediocre talent. We’ve fallen short in a division of bad talent. It takes a special kind of incompetence to produce what we’ve seen in Miami for a decade and a half now.
We’ve out talented the entire coastal, with the exception of maybe 2 seasons, since we joined the ACC.
Na, it's just that ours were such a disaster that average coaching staffs would beat them.
