So let’s chat my brotha;
We’ve been hearing locker room problems for, I dunno, since 2016. Now, here was our CIS logic: Richt era- “Just wait til Richt get all of his players, and no longer have to deal w/ inherited players from the old regime.” Well, we saw what happened (and I thoroughly outlined what happened each season as Golden’s players departed, and Richt’s recruits came & took over in another thread, that highlighted how wrong that logic was.)
2019: Manny made it appear that Richt’s regime on O was the problem. He boasted about new Miami. Well, new Miami became old Miami, and when I say old, I mean pre-1980’s Miami. At season’s end, Manny’s staff “anonymously” leaked info about certain players being “cancers” in the locker room. Said cancers were eradicated from locker room.
2020: CIS logic - “Manny is righting the ship. Love how he made changes and brought leadership to the locker room and coaching staff.”
09/16/2020: We’re hearing that there are still locker room issues???? How?? Like ESPNU called out Diaz in our preview of this season, my guy has been here for 5 yrs now. Is he oblivious to locker room issues? Are these locker room issues w/ players or staff....and in either case, why in 2020 have they not been fixed since he’s been here this entire time? I know the admin, due to cronyism w/ his father, has given him carte blanche to run the program as he sees fit! What the fck is he not seeing, Crib?
We can’t keep hearing “locker room” issues today, 5 yrs into his employment
Appreciate the nuggets as always. That at least sounds encouraging that they are willing to bench McCould if he doesn't perform. As an aside, it is maddening how they are willing to do that with some guys and some positions but not others. Absolutely zero consistency.
I’m guessing a guy like Miller isn’t happy at being the 3rd DT. I’m sure some others are butt hurt on the offensive line front.The things I know about are nowhere in the same class as last year , as I’ve said I’ve never seen anything like that inside a program. A total clown show , which manny and some of the leaders allowed. JW was kicked off after going awol but the leadership council or whatever the f it’s called talked Diaz into bringing him back.
It’s still early but it’s typical bs , not the normal Miami soap opera. Now if we drop a couple early games it could go off the rails . It’s not the mentally strongest group. They’ve got to learn to win.
I do feel more confident with king as the leader than the guys last year. He’s here for business.

At the end of the day, if some of these players decide to leave....doesn’t that help the culture in the long run?
Ya, I was basically referring to every other position. It sucks that we lost CW. No way around it.Not if we have no depth like positions like CB
Why should carter not be starting? Who cares who starts?Wont fix ****.
There seems to be no desire to punish bad play. Been a constant theme for a minute here actually.
What is the purpose of leaving guys out on the field game after game watching them make the same mistakes? Because hes "a good kid" doesnt mean he should be playing more.
Carter should not be starting.
Ivey should be benched.
Ford needs to be put on notice.
Pope needs to be given a few more games to flash. If not, next man up.
Bottom line, Miami actually has pretty few transfers out, certainly compared to the number of transfers in. So we are overreacting as usual.Wouldn't be surprised if it's WR unrest, too.
These kids come in expecting a lot of pt and if they don’t get it immediately they’re ready to bounce. It’s only getting worse, it’s a problem everywhere. Good luck at being around 85.
Wouldn't be surprised if it's WR unrest, too.
So Huff's pt will in fact increase since McCloud is who he is.No.
Brooks will play as many snaps as anyone this year. Huffs pt will increase too, especially if mccloud doesn’t learn to tackle in space
So Huff's pt will in fact increase since McCloud is who he is.
At a certain point it is also on the leader to build the culture and get everyone to buy into it. You can’t keep firing people to build culture, especially when they are people that you hired.I’m guessing a guy like Miller isn’t happy at being the 3rd DT. I’m sure some others are butt hurt on the offensive line front.

Yeesh @Cribby got me stressing.
Man, I sure hope we win on Saturday and put some wins together.
Irresponsible of where this season goes, Rumph, Parke and Baker 10000000% should not be employed by the University of Miami next year.
And it seem Ed Reed is around a lotThe things I know about are nowhere in the same class as last year , as I’ve said I’ve never seen anything like that inside a program.
