For those absolving Mario and the staff...

This is off topic but why are we talking **** about a kicker that missed an angled 53 yard kick? There’s dudes making millions missing that kick on sundays.

Another dumb coaching decision. This kid has missed 30 yarders and is not a top tier kicker. You punt that everytime. You have to know the talent on your team. We just do the dumbest stuff.

Like that 4th down call 😂😂😂

ok. its on both but cool. players all stink. eventually they'll be gone. if we the same issues continue, will it be the new players? or in year 6 will you then open your eyes to realize we have mediocre coaching and players dont look prepared at all nor do the coaches

Dude its a whole new coaching staff and I already told you Im not a Mario guy. Im not blaming coaches currently. the players don't make any plays. same losers that have been on the roster. the new staff has no one to replace them with

Lol

Rooster fumble.

Blown coverage on the 1st TD

1st down in the 1 and fail to get a TD

FG at 53 yards

Those are fair points focusing on the players but it took an entire, off-season, training camp and 4 games for Gattis, Ponce, TVD and Mario to look like they had met each other before

I knew the LB and DB recruiting from Manny would eventually show. But with the 5 games we’ve played, by my count Steele is at best break even with how he’s has called things
 
There are some real systematic cultural issues embedded in the Miami program that are going to take 3-5 years to completely root out.

hes about as middling of a DC as you can get esp now. I know the D has way more holes esp bc of Manny lack of recruiting at LB and DB recruiting, but man. its bad. never hire a former fired DC that got fired bc he stunk up the joint so bad the HC had no choice (steele at CLEM, Manny at UT).
 
The players were literally playing better under the previous staff. Except a few known guys who have always struggled, we overall looked better under Diaz, and you guys are blaming the players. That's ridiculous.

The best move Dabo Swinney made in his career was firing Kevin Steele.

a 53 yard kick isnt a gimme even for the best kickers but esp college kickers. I would've just gone for it honestly. its 50-50 going for it as it is kicking the Feld goal. hes hit long kicks but not consistently and hasn't been good this year
 
The Mario can do no wrong crowd are using the same tired tropes we’ve seen used to defend countless horrible coaches.

“Not his players bro”
“Give him time to build with his classes bro”
“Rome wasn’t built in a day”
“Saban lost to Louisiana Monroe man”


Listen, I’m not giving up on Mario, but anyone who doesn’t watch this team and get alarmed by some of the trends they’re seeing is a delusional sunshine pumper.

Why isn't it a 3 year project for Lance Leopold or Sonny Dykes?

Well, Lance Leopold ain't be anybody of any consequence yet in the Big 12 -- another horrendous conference. Let's see what their record is by season's end. Their best win is against a .500 ball club.

Ditto for TCU. Best win is against an Oklahoma team which we saw today aint sh*t.

...and basically describing the roster as too full of kids beyond or incapable of "fixing".

Are you satisfied with what Mario did via the Portal to fix this then?

I'm personally not firing anybody on the staff yet and understand Mario has and will have as much job security as any coach in CFB. That said, with the change in transfer rules and the fact that Mario & Co. had plenty of time to evaluate what was left in the cupboard for them- is it reasonable to just blame the players? Good coaches do wayyyy more with wayyyyy less every Saturday. Good coaches also immediately change "culture" issues too.

The data indicates rhe current makeup of this staff isn't going to get it done.

Because Mario is taking this roster and trying to make it do what he wants to do instead of just playing with what’s he got

It’s how you make decent (enough) talent look like it’s never played football before. Make an entire roster of guys do things they aren’t good it.

Great strategy.

At this point I don't know who to blame. The players/ coaches/ s&c/ fans/ the city. Idk all I know is we suck for some odd reason even with some talent but teams with way less do way more. I'll never understand, maybe it's the distractions and not being in a podunk town where all they think about is ball. I've accepted we will always be a mid p5 program.

Hear me when I say House Hurricane is cursed.

A pox with no remedy.

I normally don't opine to these Jerry Springer opinion threads/posts... but respectfully allow me to ask you something.
Who are the "Mario can do no wrong crowd". I must not be reading too many threads on CIS because overwhelmingly, is see posts that are extremely critical of the coaching, and especially Mario. Mario's pre-season hype isn't panning out obviously.

Giving up on Mario as a fan doesn't mean much, lol, unless we stop watching Canes games altogether. His length of tenure is dependent on what he accomplishes week to week and season long. I'll be the first one to a flying a banner effort when the time comes... whether it's sooner or later... I/we want to wear my Canes apparel and tattoos' proudly... again!

no clown is saying playoff. stop it.

were talking about beating middle Tennessee and scoring more than 24 points on a UNC team that was allowing well over 30

In year 1 Diaz lost to twice as many ConfUSA teams than Mario. He still got another couple of seasons.
