It's the FOG
I actually wasted my time and listened to most of it live.
I thought Ferman contridicted himself throughout.
2 examples: he said he was worried about All the weight of the program on Kaayas shoulders, but then said you will see rosier in every meaningful game running a spread option package.
The other he hinted toward criticizing the staff ability to bring in talent, then next said well I really like what I see out of the QBs, I like all 4 RBs, I like the top 4 WRs, I like the group of TEs, and I really like the secondary.
I'm not a GF fan, I actually don't like him .....but I didn't think he contradicted himself. He said there's talent at some position groupings but it's pretty much not a Mia caliber roster.
The offense will be on Kayaas shoulders , Rosier coming in to run gimmick plays doesn't make it any lighter on BK. The O will revolve around Brads arm and brain, he has complete control.
I thought he kept it very much realistic.
He also said there's no reason to expect more than eight wins, nothing has changed but lost talent. No staff changes , with questions about coaching still remaining.
I thought it was as honest as I've ever heard him. He's normally quite the homer, protecting the staff.
At least the last time I heard the podcast , sometime last year.
There is reason to expect more than 8 wins since we won 9 games two years with lesser talent and a comparable schedule. Looking at the roster, we do have Miami caliber talent across the board. As everyone has pointed out, OL is the biggest unknown; however, we aren't playing elite defenses in this conference for that to be a major concern against marginal teams. Although we don't have 2001 talent, we do have enough talent to win the ACC, while producing high caliber players for the draft.
We have nowhere near a Miami roster, a handful on O and a handul on D doesn't mean that's a Miami roster.
There's only a handful of game changers , and a lot of questions.
Do we have goon enough talent to win the coastal ? Yes.
But this staff had proven they can't win games against good teams . The only way they could is maybe with a real Miami roster.
Please define "game changers", because Kaaya is certainly one, Coley proved it his freshman year, and Yearby clearly has the potential. Artie and Deon are all-conference caliber players, along with Grace, Chad, and Quan. What's a "real Miami" roster? And please don't name national title teams because nobody is saying we have that type of talent. My point is that we have reason to expect more than 8 wins from this team.
