I've covered in detailed threads with images showing how miserable our Defense is. We are talking worst of all time defense.
But I cannot stand when people use the horrid defense to excuse the equally as bad offense. No, a competent DC wouldn't make this a good team, and James Coley is a ******* amateur. So here are some facts about the national champions since 2008 and where we compare offensively:
No team since 2008 has won the national championship with a rushing offense lower than 20, except 2013 FSU who was 28th. Miami sits at 103rd.
Only 1 team since 2008 has had a 3rd down conversion percentage lower than top 20 in the country (2009 Bama). Four of those championship teams had 3rd down conversion rates in the top 10, and three of them in the top 5. Miami sits at 114th.
Every team outside of last years OSU (who was down to their 3rd string QB) had a Red Zone efficiency offense in the top 30. Miami sits at 54.
And my new favorite stat: No team has cracked the top 40 in Tackles for Loss allowed. Most were well into the 50s, 60s and 70s. Miami this year is 3rd in the nation in tackles for loss allowed. Let that sink in.
And it's not just Coley. Kevin Beard is a loyal great Cane, but has no business coaching WRs here. Kehoe was finished ten ******* years ago. Ice is a goddam high school coach in a region that has the worst coaching in the country.
It's not one or the other, offense vs defense. They both need complete overhauls.
