Dawson is fed up with the inside run talk

I’d like to add at USC he was under major scholarship reductions, so im sure that short handed him at USC. You’re right they weren’t in a row so I stand corrected on that, but he did win 2 conference championships at FAU. Also, I think it’s tougher to win and acquire talent at Ole Miss than Miami, he was rebuilding Tennessee and left for a better job at USC. You don’t have to be great to be better than Mario.

That USC team that was under "major scholarship reductions", had over 20 players drafted to the NFL.

So, let me ask you. If I tell you that TEAM A had 20 players play in the NFL, what do you think their record was that year?

lane has admitted that he is a better coach now than he was w Oakland, USC, and Tenn.

At some point do you account for the fact that center can’t hold up at the point of attack? It looks to me like the interior OL is the weakest part, so doesn’t seem like the smartest decision to run into the A gap.

If the word is that they're worried about Beck and the ball being wet or whatever the reasoning was to run the ball.. why keep aiming at the A gap where your weakest blocker is doing his best turnstile impression? If they can change the offensive philosophy because they're worried about the 4M dollar man, why can't they see Brock is a weak link?

He said he runs inside zone the majority of the time, and outside zone half the time.

What’s the point you are trying to make? Kiffin isn’t a good coach?

THANK YOU!!!

I wanted to throw a brick at my TV (but it's big and I love it so I didn't) when I saw that opening to Fletcher's left. I'm all for running over people, but I will take a TD 100/100 times over running over a defender and getting tackled in the process.

Warms my heart to see a man who loves his big brick.

FIU went to bowl games in 2010 and 2011, that’s more than one, hence the multiple comment. Considering that FIU has only been to five bowl games in school history, that’s something.

FIU was the best coaching job in Mario’s career. He took a team with no weight room and like 2 wins in team history, to a conference title and bowl.

no, but thanks for jumping in. Following the thread of responses all the way to its inception, the argument is Mario is not a good coach and Miami will never be anything except a little bit more than average team in the ACC under his leadership. My argument is people don't use equal weights and measures with Mario vs other head coaches. Let's be real: Kiffin hasn't even sniffed a national championship. Not even close. He's never finished in the top 8 of any poll.

CFP Rankings

2024 #14 (Miami was #13 btw)
2023: #11 (four team playoff)
2022: not in top 25
2021: #8 (Oregon w/ Mario #14)
2020: not in top 25 (Oregon finished #25)
2019: Kiffin not ranked; Oregon with Mario #6
2018: Kiffin not ranked; Oregon w/ Mario unranked

Mario is CLEARLY not a great coach. ****, we all know that. And we all know Kiffin isn't a GREAT coach. But really, how much better of a coach is he than Mario? If whatever the difference is, that's what we want? I'll pass.

I don’t know why we don’t do this with Lyle honestly. I don’t expect Dawson to be Kyle Shanahan but SF does all their work inside the tackles.

They use the pitch play to keep the defense honest and it often works very well beyond just giving them something to think about

You really don’t think getting Mauigoa and Cooper moving out in space with Lyle behind them couldn’t be a huge play potentially?

I'm just gonna tell you, Fletcher has been doing that his ENTIRE career at Miami. The first time I ever noticed was his freshman year against FSU. This play was just mind boggling to me. The last image is right before Fletcher cuts BACK towards the safety. Emory's finger and arm is up because right at the moment he knows Fletcher is going to the house the run. Except he doesn't. The play starts at 1:06:10. It's even worse live.

I love Fletcher. I do. But he is very, very limited when it comes to anything past 15 yards. I don't understand what he's trying to do.

Good memory and find! Wonder if he just has no confidence in his ability to outrun defenders in the secondary so he would prefer to try to run them over and beat them that way? Even if he lacks vision, it seems impossible to me that he could not see/know that there is not a single defender outside of the hashes in both of these situations. Isn't that part of the point of bunch formations?

If you told me a team had 20 players drafted from a college team, I’d say they should’ve been pretty decent, not like the greatest but decent. I know where you are going with this though and I’d like to add the 1997 Canes team also had 20 players drafted, with about 8 of them going first round and what was our record that year? Even though it wasn’t in one draft they still had lots of talent on that team. But we didn’t have any depth because of scholarship reductions.

That 1997 Hurricanes team with those players that went to the NFL were:

1998 9-4 (ranked 20th)
1999 9-4 (ranked 15th)
2000 11-1 (ranked 2nd). Which is probably the best team to never play for a national championship.

Now do Kiffin and his USC team full of NFL players. Hold on, I got you.

10-2
7-6
fired.

Do you see the difference? Miami got better (although they were under sanctions) whereas USC got worse and their coach (Kiffin) got fired.

Now, what you got?

It’s more that we don’t have the interior line to move odd fronts. We really struggle with it. Especially with our splits and the free runners off the edge. The duo blockers can’t get off fast enough to get backers and they have free runs. Honestly the answer is spacing. If we spread teams out we will bully them the way they want

This too.

ill be glad when dawson leaves. hes not a special OC. hes just average.

we could do better.

I like him, but he's nothing special, I agree.

We are desperate for more innovation in our offensive schemes. He's the only guy on the offensive side with play calling and OC experience and its pretty obvious week after week.
