Imagine our staff on the same field as Saban or Harbaugh in this game

[Dude]

What was so amazing?

I saw pretty basic offense from both sides and crucial errors by both teams late.

I'd say the most important thing a coach does is implement a culture of hard *** work. You could see those results in the bodies of those 2 teams. JH & NS have their rosters dialed in 12 months of the year. It's still early in this process and Miami's locker room, while better is still at square 1... Learning to embrace competition. We are extremely far from those 2 teams, where they are way beyond that, that's an expectation. They are past step 2, playing for each other and the university. They are both on step 3... championship culture, something we had at the turn of the millennium.

Miami fans would want to run Harbaugh out of town after running the ball 65% of the time for 3 straight seasons and finishing 10-3, 10-3, 8-5

Not this Miami fan. I'd be ecstatic. That'd be our best run in 20 years.

10 wins, wouldn't be good enough

Living in the distant past. We've been talking about 2017s 10 win season since 2017. It's the only one in the last 20 years. In 2010 we still were talking as if conference title was the floor. The fanbases is so battered that they're talking about 8 being good for next year.

What would they be doing bringing the players water…

 

[UMercury21]

I doubt that…. but i’d like to see us land the number 1 class 5 years in a row to test out your theory.

by the time we do that Saban and Harbaugh will be dead so we can easily beat dead coaches, i think.

Call Schmall. Mishagain Dline whooped Bama all **** night. 6 sacks and 10 TFL. They had 4 tries from goal to go and couldn't finish the job.

Harping on the last play and over criticizing, in hindsight, is emotional and silly. They werent scoring. Period.

The better team won. The better trench players won. Stop the ****ery.

 

[Tad Footeball]

Sabag basically threw Rees under the bus after the game for the last play. Said they changed the play twice on the previous 2 timeouts and the injury but that Rees thought the last play was the best as it's one of their 2 pt conversion plays. Sabag then said it obviously wasn't the right call because it didn't work.

I think anybody that watched the entire game could see that was going to be the playcall- despite Sabag saying it changed twice. He obviously doesn't trust Rees and Steele is a washed retread. Tonight both of those lazy hires finally bit his midget ***. Hate to see it!

 

[Bender]

I don't think Saban coached a particularly good game.

Neither did. Harbaughs special teams did everything possible to lose the game. Miami was playing in this game, they just exchanged their jersey with dark blue ones. Stupid mistakes at the worst possible time.

The entire game I felt "Is Mario Cristobal coaching somewhere", because the offensive playcalling felt like it. Dull, uninspiring, uncreative. Heck, even the last OT drive was a Cristobal special.

Only thing that was proven yesterday, once and for all, is that getting a good QB elevates team performance the most. Milroe cannot throw, which is why I just chuckle at people who want Jacurri as their QB. Penix Jr made a compelling draft case yesterday... again.

 

[Bender]

Harping on the last play and over criticizing, in hindsight, is emotional and silly. They werent scoring. Period.

And it's not that, it's a summary of how poorly coached the entirety of that game was from a playcalling perspective offensively. Milroe is running a QB draw on a 6v7 matchup on 4th down. Doesn't get any more moronic than this.

Michigan didn't run anything different from their usual scheme and were never forced to. Multiple weeks of preparation and Michigan ran the same ****. If the better trenches actually won, the game should have been a no-contest.

The team with the less coaching mistakes won.

Did you watch Washington? A staff that took a kid from Indiana and made him the he is an runner up and is only the second player in cfb history to go back to back 4500 yard season?

Did u see the way they schemed people open and had the most explosive offense in the land?

Texas didn’t throw the ball well but look at their run game. Can you say our run game looks anything like theirs?

Washington-Texas was the far better game as far as offensive coaching is concerned.

That being said, he was referencing the game that happened prior.

Fair nuff on the second point. But those teams made plays when they needed to outside of bamas 4th down call.

We didn’t see anything like that since AtM

If the takeaway is "They made plays when they needed to", its not a good takeaway.

Your team shouldn't just be making plays when they absolutely have to. A german saying goes "A good horse only jumps as high as it has to" and it's not the best nor smartest saying in the world.

A sports team should be executing consistenly and efficiently when it comes to their product. If Miami and Rutgers played this game, the notion would be "bad meets worse and bad won".

We’d never be in this game cause we have a moron for a HC. We could have possibly been in a better bowl game but u know he couldn’t figure out he had a game won and take a knee

Maybe those two teams, who have great defenses were struggling with that. Either way when the game was on the line teams made plays. We can’t say that much over the last 20 years.

We used to make plays. Now we just wilt cause we are a reflection of our HC.

It looked basic because both defenses are great and both qbs are mid

But Michigan schemed up wide open guys plenty of times…That 4th down conversion to the running back, look at the formation, its clear they knew how bama would lineup and play it.

Simple **** like that might be considered basic because it’s just a rb flat but it’s about how u get to the basic **** that makes a difference

That basic **** is there because Bama brings the blitz and no one mans up on the RB.

Its the first thing to do, because the throw to the RB is the quickest one available. You can send seven if you feel like it, if you don't cover the RB, your defense won't even register a hit on the QB.

It was just a **** game from a quality perspective.

Thats why what formations u lineup in are important lol, every play call u should have an idea on what the defense will lineup in

Its obvious Michigan knew how bama would react, the blitz really had nothing to do with it. It was like a mesh play similar to the one they did earlier

That makes it even worse on Bamas perspective.

 

[sdaly12]

I don't think Saban coached a particularly good game.

i think infers half Michigan going to a zone D in passing game confused Milroe, scared 5 times

 

[Dream School]

Literally one of the worst calls ever on 4th down. You run milroe outside and give him options. If Mario had made that call someone would have been at the bus and would not let him on. Saban is a beast, but that my friend was not a coaching clinic.

guard pulled it was designed to go to the outside
