Culture vs Scheme

Advertisement
I think we've been recruiting the wrong players, AND hiring the wrong coaches. Too much selling of "The U" and "playing in paradise". They have been selling the idea of suntan U more than winning football, and have recruited players that come in to coast. Not every player, but far too many. There isn't enough discipline, period. We need Ghengis Khan, and players that are afraid of him. Instead we have Charmin Diaz giving out participation awards and vacations to guys that just don't want to show up.
 
An OL is probably top of the list for improvement but our running game has been pathetic and love or hate Manny, he is bringing recruits that indicate our running game will improve. When you can't make a yard on 3rd and one, time to attack that problem and Manny appears to be doing just that.
 
It's hard to change the culture when the scheme is to go out there and repeatedly ram your head into a brick wall to the point that the other team knows where the ball is going before you even snap it.

"The beatings will continue until morale improves" may be a catchy slogan, but it has proven to be less than effective in the real world.

You want a strong culture of effort and trust? Bring in a scheme that works and prove to your players that following you will be to their benefit. **** is the exact opposite of that.
 
bad administration( those who decide how the university is ran)+bad coaching(scheme)+players (culture)=the death of Miami hurricane football program.

Don't forget the bad fans. You know, the ones that call coaches, administration and players out when they aren't getting the job done. According to some, we are part of the problem as well. Now I could be wrong, but I don't think we are the ones causing any of the real issues, but some actually think this way.

Nelson took a lot of heat, and rightly so at times. But there were an awful lot of issues picking up inside blitzes between the tackles.

What in the **** does Manny knows about building a culture when he himself isn’t a natural leader? He’s never been a part of a championship culture, never was a part of a high performing organization, he was once fired from a program with a broken culture, and in fact, he’s never even played sports, let alone the game of football.

So, again, I ask, what does a man with that pedigree know about creating a championship football culture?

Manny is a “buzzword” kind of guy. Probably took a few leadership classes, read a couple HBR articles on culture, heard the word thrown at a few football camps, and now he’s trying to fashion himself as Lombardi or Belicheck. These players don’t respect him at all nor do they believe in him, and you can see it in their demeanor. Manny can bring in an entirely new team and he’d get the same results, because he isn’t a natural leader. And for **** sure he doesn’t know anything about creating a championship or high performing culture.

You can never properly lead men if they don’t believe in you or respect you. A culture cannot raje root this circumstance

That is probably 100% true, but there also exists a paycheck-minded locker room full of guys who aren't all that bothered by losses.

Both aspects need work.

I keep hearing that we need a culture change and couldn't agree more, however, this alone will not necessarily fix everything.
Even if you have a winning culture, great players, and tons of depth you still have to roll it out on gameday and have a scheme.

What Manny needs to figure it is does Enos' under center, slow huddling offense fit the scheme he wants.
If the answer is yes then just go out and get new players and change the culture and we'll be alright.

If the answer is no, we still need a culture change, new players, better depth etc. but then you need scheme which means a new OC and staff.
It has been stated multiple times that SoFla high schools run spread offenses. Other than holding on to past Canes glory, I can't imagine why Manny is reluctant to change his offense to mirror what high schools here are doing. Perhaps that is one reason we lose so many recruits.

At any rate, we can all agree we are in a rebuild and we are stuck with Manny for now. I hope he makes the right decision.

in order to run enos system u need legit oline talent. elite talent. a spread allows u to get by with lesser talent on oline. culture is an issue but so is scheme both can be true at same time. It can be true that players have 0 accountability accept losing to easily and no show games with effort, it can also be true that at same time coaches not putting them in positions to succeed especially on offense. Knowing u got a very young oline that can do what u want u need to adjust run what they can block up.

It starts up front. IF, and it's a big IF, you have a dominant offensive line you can do what we were trying to do. Enos would have rocked it a Alabama. The stupidity was trying to do it here with our young offensive line. We don't change the scheme it isn't going to get any better.

I agree with this. Enos' offense is not inherently bad. It is, however, a bad fit for what we have on this team, especially the O-line. He needs to either learn to scheme with what he has available, or go somewhere that his scheme will work.
 
We should start by fixing the culture which I think is 10x more hard than scheme. Look at LSU last year to now. Our canes need true heart again
 
Miami has just 15 seasons with 10+ wins since 1926. The only time that Miami is any good is when there's a chip on everyone's shoulder and that's never coming back now that we play at HRS and have a sparkling new IPF.

Culture starts by not allowing Jeff Thomas back (I was in favor originally)

Not letting Cleveland Reed back after spending months in the portal (I’m okay if he makes a bad decision and comes back, but 2 months COME ON)

Letting Tate take a vacation and miss games to figure stuff out

Allowing to let Jarren lead this team after he leaves practice on two separate occasions and fails to meet standards and still starts opening game.

I always wanted a coach that would do anything to keep good players on roster but seems to be feeding into ****** culture and player respect
 
We may be stuck with Mammy, or not, but that isn't the question. Flake, the fembots, and cucks at the Hecht are the real problem.

If a new AD, and staff, was in Hecht in the next few months, he could fully evaluate Mammy and his staff, and then deal with as he deemed fit. It would be easier coping with the current corches if we could see the end is near.

The real question is you take the same scheme/coaches/players with the attitude from the old days vs. the exact team and mental attitude with a spread offense. What is our record based on those two options. I am betting we have a better record with the attitude change than scheme. I am not saying we don't need to move to the spread...we do. However, that alone won't put us on top. We need a new attitude...a toughness.
 
Culture is a huge part of the problem. Look at the people who left, look at the complete lack of developed and experienced offensive talent on the roster. Miami is a program kids leave early and often.

However, scheme is definitely a bigger issue in my opinion. Enos can’t call plays to save his life, he is not an offensive coordinator, he is a QB coach. I’ve soured on his scheme since defending it early. The offense has no identity and is predictable. He’s been figured out.

This team is talented but horribly inexperienced at very key spots. It’s tough to scheme around how incredibly weak this offensive line truly is.

The offensive line group is missing 3-8 upperclassmen today. Fans on this site love to point out other young offensive linemen playing well - the difference is at most other schools they are playing beside and in front of redshirt juniors and redshirt seniors. At Miami true freshmen and redshirt freshmen start early and often and never develop. The older players who get passed up apparently treat it must treat being a hurricane like being a country club. The offensive line is a trash heap and 3-4 more freshmen aren’t solving it for 2020. The guys on the roster need to develop.

Going to a spread may help but even then eventually a team is going to dare Miami to run the ball through playing light personnel, keep every defender tight to the line of scrimmage and a horizontal spread offense (zero pass protection) isn’t going to scheme this team out of having atrocious offensive line play.
 
Even with a rotten culture, you should be able to consistently beat teams that you are significantly better than, especially if you have decent game plans. Miami always looked unprepared this year, that isn't culture, that is inept coaching and program management. Here's an idea: install a gameplan worth a ****. That isn't super complicated, especially against teams like FIU, that have GLARING flaws, ones that have been exploited by **** near everyone. Miami could have easily ran the ball down FIU's throat and put up points. Did they? **** no.
