I've been thinking about the Canes and I think I might be able to understand why we've been so bad over the past 20 years. . Miami is a major city and these kids are not putting in the work. Schools like Bama, UGA are in some BS town and there is nothing to do but play or practice football. The way we've recruited and the results we've had doesn't add up. What are your thoughts on this? Am I reaching or what? Miami and social media could just be to much and these kids aren't putting in nearly the work as they should?

truth is the team just isnt that good. look at our WRs. look at our LBs. we had to bring in 5+ transfers on the DLine

add in the offensive scheme not being QB friendly to what worked last year, heres your result
 
No. We've made cheap and lazy hires for 20 years straight now. That's the issue. You can't hire bad coaches and expect to get good results. Not consistently.

Larry Coker, 1st time HC that didn't deserve the job. Was handed the keys to a Ferrari. Drove it into a tree real quick. Was out of coaching for 10 years before being the HC at UTSA. Clearly not highly thought of for this to occur.

Randy Shannon, 1st time HC from a failed regime. Didn't deserve the job. Failed, never saw another HC opportunity again. Bounced around as a position coach and DC at various schools. Obviously not thought of highly enough to ever get another HC opportunity.

Al Golden, not a 1st time coach, had a better resume, but never really got Temple over the hump. Was better, but had an absolutely awful defensive scheme. After being fired he was a position coach for years and just not got a DC opportunity again. Obviously not good enough to get another HC job still.

Mark Richt. Finally a good coach. Too bad he was at the end of his career and major health issues sped up his decline as a coach. No coincidence he has our only double digit win season, ACCCG appearance, and bowl win in the last near two decades. Retired due to major health reasons. Good coach, we got him passed him prime.

Manny Diaz. See Randy Shannon.

If Miami was bringing in proven coaches one after another and they kept failing, you might be onto something. Clearly that isn't the case. We've made consistent poor hires and had results that matched. Imagine owning a business and for 20 years straight you hired a bunch of unqualified managers that other competing businesses would never offer their management positions to. You think you'll have a successful business?

Mario has had a terrible start and clearly needs to make some adjustments. It's 4 games in, so you can't say what his career here will end up like, but if he continues to be completely stubborn on the offensive side of the ball and run a scheme that is significantly dated and has been phased out by anyone decent or better, he'll flame out also, and once again, it will be because of incompetence at the head level, not because of players.

Congratulations, you've figured it out.

I'm not sure how we explain schools like Ohio State, USC, Texas, or even Georgia (an hour from Atlanta) or LSU (an hour from New Orleans). But I still think you figured it out.

But them boys put in the work. that's all you heard about those teams is how much work they put in and if you didn't work up to the standards you got your *** whipped. Plus now NIL gives these kids money is a party city where millionaires all over the place. The leadership and the hunger is clearly not the same as those days
 
We suck for the last 20 years because every coach we’ve had was stubborn & would not change what they do to fit what we have. Mario through 4 games might end up possibly being the worst in that regard unless he changes ASAP. I mean like vs UNC. If not his life will be a living ****. Choice is his.

Apparently there is no twitter access in Tuscaloosa. You learn something new every day.
 
Yeah, Michael Irvin driving away from games in a super car... yeah he never went to a club in the 80s.
