David Feeley & S&C: Miami is much Smaller, far less physical, slower and less intimidating than Bama

[The Svengali]

Miami is much smaller, less physical, slower and far less intimidating than Alabama. Some of this is a coaching philosophy thing, some of it the fact that we don’t tackle to the ground in practice (huge mistake, IMO), but how is this not an indictment of the S&C??

This team is not even close to being intimidating, and we were so much smaller and less physical than Alabama, it was shocking to see. And Alabama isn’t a one-off.

Even UNC was faaaaar more physical and stronger than Miami last season. Clemson was far stronger and more physical.

The S&C guy was at Ball State and Temple, and Im seeing Ball State and Temple results.

So is every other team in the country and the Texans

 

[scrantoncane]

This team is 100% too small.

Lol, no they are not. Only at the LB position can you say that. Are they less physical than bama yes. But that just comes down to recruiting, has nothing to do with feeley

In early with CIS' go to insult:

Slow midgets.

 

[Mr. Dynasty1]

I think the true indictment is on the parents of our players. Why didn’t the produce bigger players?? I mean cmon.

And the grandparents too for not producing faster genetics.

It’s recruiting. They are just longer, faster and twitchier. You’re not going to make Smith and Carter look like them in the weight room. JW Chase and Taylor will magically make it look like we have a great S&C program

Why would Feeley be to blame? Manny makes the call on how he wants his players molded.

will say though, I had a friend on the S&C staff in Jacksonville. Said Dederick I believe it was told him that Bama will squeeze every single thing they can get out of you in the weight room. To the point where in the NFL you’re kind of drained. At that point there was a stigma that Bama linemen were busts and my buddy believed that to be the reason

I've tried for - literally - years to explain to the porsters on this board that the largest determining factor in S&C is the quality of athletes you start with, but after every loss someone inevitably blames the S&C coach for not magically turning our 3-star athletes into 5-stars.

Feeley is doing quite well with the athletes he's been given; there was no clear drop off in the 4th quarter and the defense didn't look especially gassed after being on the field for what must have felt like an eternity against the far-and-away best team in the country.

If you want better athletes, recruit them.

 

[moshated305]

Bama is on PEDs tho so it is not a fair fight

 

[supacane]

Our DL and OL is a standard for Power 5, we have some of the biggest CBs starting, all our safeties are atleast 6 ft. We have small LBs. Our team is not small. They are poorly coached. Punto

Our DLmen were small. Our WRs were small lining up vs Bama DBs.

If you don’t believe me, go find Tyreke’s quote. He said something like the only difference between Georgia and Miami is Georgia guys were way bigger. It’s true.

And just when I need it most, CIS fam there to pick me up...

Is there a certain spell Feeley can cast that will turn Mike Harley into Megatron? What exactly is it you'd like him to do?
