Inexcusable amount of penalties, coaches are not to blame.

[Negro-Wan Kanobi]

Most of these athletes have been playing football, or another sport, since elementary school. By now, they know the rules and should be disciplined players. The Corey Flagg comments says more about the players than coaches. Why are players needing to taught or coached in practice self discipline or self control? Self discipline is one of the basics of any sportlearned during youth football, basketball, soccer, tennis, swimming, etc. Sure self discipline should be addressed and emphasized during practice. Blame coaches for play calling, game planning, preparation, communication, knowledge of rules, etc. If players were too "hyped"or "shook", etc., (which could happen in this rivalry game) more experienced players should have stepped in and calmed players nerves. Undisciplined penalties, 90% of that responsibility is on players. Just my opinion.

Undisciplined culture, coachability of type kids we recruit (easy for the other team to get in their heads and forces those stupid all-season penalties they never seem to figure out hurts us so bad); So, I say its on both

 

[SayWhat]

Whenever someone makes a play (whether we're winning or losing) they get up, pose, flex, and run their mouth like they didn't just give up a big play the play before. We gotta lead the nation in that department. Make a play and line up for the next.

So it comes as no surprise that we have dumbass penalties all the time. Part coaching, but mostly on the players. I'm not even joking, but I feel like we have one of the dumbest teams in the country.

None of the players are afraid of ******* up, they never get pulled or even a chewing out.. Only coach who reprimands any player is Lashlee.. We had to burn a timeout in second half because TVD was taking his sweet time and Lashlee saw it early and was telling him hurry his *** up from sideline, he still melted the clock and we had to burn a TO.. Lashlee broke his headset because he KNEW the urgency and he let it be known to players..

Meanwhile Diaz doesnt do **** but celebrate routine catches and is running around like a make a wish participant at the end of 3rd qtr.. No player gives af about penalties because Diaz lets that **** happen, jump offsides 10 times and you stay in game, no worries, we will excuse it away as emotional game..

OP is completely and utterly incorrect in his post.

 

[The Sphinx]

It is the end of the season, if a player is this undisciplined, something more wrong than coaching. The numerous penalties during 1st quarter has not happened all year. Maybe this game was too big, for some on the team? How does coaching staff address this issue? Sports counseling, sports therapists; Yoga to relieve sports anxiety, performance anxiety, improve focus, etc. Maybe athletic department utilizes these therapies, I don't know? Anyone know if the do? If athletic department does not, then athletic department should be blamed. I know this area falls under coaching umbrella; however, the entire athletic department should be preparing athletes for this event stage, including athletes themselves.

Please tell me why this only happens this regularly heee and not on a well coached team. Like Saban. Or Mario.

go ahead I’ll wait.

 

[Go Canes!!]

If this was a 1 game occurrence, sure blame the players. When it’s a 3 year problem…

It’s a 40 year problem

 

[Rellyrell]

I knew the stench of the loss would slowly wear off & some fans would revert back to defending this staph.

 

[Cane Fan 4 Life]

This is why you run suicides in practice

 

[Dghustla]

That sounds a good Op….except Flagg said post game that they see these same crazy high volume of penalties in practice everyday and it goes unchecked.

Everything about this team is undisciplined. The penalties are just one part of it. And. That starts and ends with Manny

This "fan" has been a "fan" for 57 years. Am not defending the staff, and putting partial blame on players. At least read what I write.

 

[FMCANE]

And back at you.

 

[AZHurricane]

Those 2 late hit flags were BS, the ball-carriers were still in bounds when they got hit, and the ref didn't blow the whistle yet.

Both those guys dipped out of bounds at the very last second. Kinda like they had been coached to do it. I thought it was pretty pathetic but they got the calls.

 

[Jonnyblaze]

OP has a small point. Some things are on the players. You see blocks in the back in the NFL in every single game.

Now, it’s the coaches job to find more disciplined players. That part is true.

Disagree. Part of Miami's broken culture is not showing up ready to play; slow starts, mistakes, penalties, etc.

If "nerves" in a rivalry game are that big, how come Miami was the only one tanking in that first quarter—not Norvell's 6-12 program?

Year three for Diaz and we're still seeing year one mistakes. The slow starts, no shows after bye weeks, players believing their hype after meaningless three-game losing streaks—this is 100% on the coaches for not having kids ready.

News flash; you don't see Alabama kids doing this—because messing up at that level has repercussions for the actions, so kids learn what NOT to do.

Mario had his freshman corner with that interception weeks back; kid spins the ball and runs off the field celebrating (and drawing a flag) and Cristobal took his *** to school.

In SIX YEARS of watching Manure Diaz tied to this program, I've yet to see him ONCE absolutely get into a player's grill for doing something stupid or selfish.

The players are a product of the guys coaching them. Period. End of story. No debate necessary.

Are you joking me op?

I mean what is shocking is 2 of the 4 playoff teams are 101 and 115th in penalties. Bama and oregon.

Did it ever occur to you that the ACC Officials call more on Miami because they are not part of the ".Old Tobacco Road Good Old Boys"? I was standing on the sideline for yesterday's game and the number of face mask, OL holding and Pass Interference infractions not called against FSU were ridiculous. I stopped counting at 23, as I was too upset and realized the calls weren't going to happen. Alabama and Oregon get a pass based on their status in the SEC and Pac 12. I have been around college football since I was 5 and know a penalty when I see it. Not saying Miami doesn't commit too many penalties, but the disparity in numbers is glaring. TV doesn't show you the crap going on at the bottom of the pile, FSU was trying to start a fight all day long and UM did a good job not biting.

 

[Firesite]

Its the same shxt every year. If you cant figure it out now, that means its coaching.

Better question, why would a player go to Alabama and not Miami? The usual, better facilities, emphasis on football, pubic school money, Saban, blah, blah, blah, same old things. Did you know any athlete not only can go back and complete their degree free of charge (as many colleges offer), that also includes their children? Their children are automatically accepted. Now, I have not seen that in writing; however, a person very familiar with this info. told me this. Also, Alabama players would discipline each other. Do you think Vilma, Dorsey, Gonzales, Reed would allow these penalties when they played? So, you all are telling me these players can't control themselves, their emotions, during a game? This time of year, a coach should not have to coach self discipline in practice. Sure, players make mistakes. Don't players have any responsibility on this issue? Other problems with team and program, all on coaching staff.
