Banda popin’ off at the Fan Base

[TOcane]

Robert Knowles has 27 total tackles for the season... to compare Gurvan Hall has 28 solo tackles and 52 total tackles.

Like I said Knowles gets the most credit, praise from coRches and multiple threads on CIS, for doing the bare minimum.

I’m pretty sure Derrick Smith would’ve had a much bigger impact playing the same role

Nope Knowles kept Pitt out of the endzone last week and helped us get the win.

 

[GonzoCane]

Knowles played well. Happy for the young man

 

[The Franchise]

This is the same dork who was driving around with the Russell Athletics Bowl trophy to show prospective recruits.

He’s too emotional and prone to fits of sissified nonsense. Knowles plays one decent game after 38 terrible ones in a row, and Coach Ted Lange is crowning him.

Loyalty? LOL. Why wouldn’t Knowles be loyal when he’s been stealing a $150k/year scholarship for 5 years?

 

[LexCane55]

He isnt wrong but they have lost to three teams that are garbage so not exactly when you want to start talking.

Knowles has also contributed to some loses throughout his career.

It’s frustrating watching our team play undisciplined, celebrate dumb **** etc

but then you see stuff like this and it makes more sense

 

[jjacks93]

How are people still calling Banda a ****** coach ?

Funny how he gets no credit for coaching them up but he gets the blame if they fk up on the field .

Guarantee if our secondary was getting torched every week yal would blame Banda even tho he supposedly only recruits

 

[Mel Bernstein]

Knowles didn’t do anything that special. The bar is so low with that guy, so normal plays look spectacular. How many career interceptions does he have? He’s still a liability out there

 

[FrankSmokesDank]

I read a lot of criticism about Banda on these boards, lame cracks about bartending.

For my money, hall, bolden & knowles have progressed more than any other unit of the course of this season. 15 & 94/97 is still the best unit we have, but the safetys aren’t far behind.

This after JJ and Redwine. Banda is good in my book.

Even if what you claim is true. He f*cking blows at recruiting and that is half his job. Get this dude behind a bar and out of our program. Amateur hour.

Knowles has been so bad up to this point in his career that anytime the other team wasn't celebrating 6 when he was on the field it's an upgrade. He has improved, but let's not pretend he is a world beater here.

 

[jjacks93]

Part of this man job is to support and uplift his players . The whole **** team is aware of how ppl (myself included) talked down on Knowles but Banda is a bad coach and too emotional because he decides to show support for one of his players ? Yal lame af

 

[Fbdr24]

Banda is garbage... our weakest link

His job isn’t to be a public hype man for individual players. By doing this dumb emotional **** he’s just putting a bigger target on Knowles the next time he fcks up. Corches shouldn’t be involved in starting beef with their own fan base. It never ends well.

 

[DMoney]

Banda is a good coach. Anyone who says his safeties don’t get better is lying to themselves.

This.

Banda should stfu and coach. If he has free time, recruit harder.

 

[KevinCaneFace]

We’re an entitled bunch on CIS.

It’s cool for us to trash a player who bleeds orange and green but if his coach publicly stands up for him then our feelings get hurt.

 

[simplycanes]

Banda is a good coach. Anyone who says his safeties don’t get better is lying to themselves.

And further, anyone who says he doesn't actually coach is lying to everyone.

 

[CANEMC]

That's gonna come back to hurt him. Dumb move. Stay off Twitter and start watchin Louisville tape.

 

[Fawk_U Haters]

Dumb move from a fraudulent coach.

I find it funny that people say he's a fraud. Our safety play is usually the least amount of our worries and that has been the case for the last 4 years. His kids develop and they play well for the most part.

I’ll admit that I don’t keep up with recruiting but we’ve recruited 5 four star safeties on this roster. Afterwards we moved Frierson to striker but how is that awful recruiting?

 

[321>CANES<305]

Good for Banda sticking up for his guy. I stuck up for Knowles and was crapped on here.

Same here bro, Real talk !

TBH I thought Coach Banda did not put him at the best position to excel....He got in some crunch time scenarios where it didn't favor Knowles way. That's Banda fault not Knowles!!! Kid playing solid right now. Good for him but Banda is not a good look going at your allies when you can't recruit or coach in my book! One thing about Us Miami fans We don't forget and we known for choppin off heads!
