The only reason I want them to sort of keep the chain is for the next NCAA game lol.
Lamethe chain, how should it be utilized?
If even or in the lead be used for any turnovers or a late turnover that sets us up to win even though not in the lead. If a sack or 4th down stop saves a win, use the chain. Winning field goal, chain. Winning TD, chain. No chain while losing especially loss is inevitable. I like the excitement created by the chain and I am sure there could be other reasons. I hope we keep it but with new ideas. Forget the rings! Thoughts?
If he decides to keep the chain on field fire him
The turnover chain was Manny's gift to Miami.
It was intended to become part of Miami's football legacy.
Promoting what? Self aggrandizement?
Soooooooo IMO
Let's flush that baby down the toilet. It brought NO Championships or titles. Not even any semblance of cohesiveness , enhanced team play or effort.
My only memory of it was of distracted players vying for some additional "me" air time on the sidelines.
Instead of focusing on their team's ongoing field efforts
Every recruit that hits campus is shown with them so clearly the kids like them, keep it for that purpose, but otherwise...Hope they still use it for the recruiting photo shoots at least.
I get your point, but heck wasn’t that Miami’s entire motive in the Jimmy Johnson days. Or even the Erickson days. Wild celebrations for every play, and a number of them were individually focused (Randall Hill in the tunnel). The NCAA invented rules to curb them. In my view, the Turnover Chain was merely a modern twist to what was considered unacceptable in 1989 and 1990 by old school purists.The turnover chain was Manny's gift to Miami.
