It takes more than just fancy recruiting.

• This team is dumb and undisciplined.
• This team is not deep.
• Finally got back into the game, took the lead - and then went back to the gameplan that had us down two scores.
• Every time we take the lead and gain momentum we start playing not to lose, and we lose.

Mario's ceiling is likely ACC champs here. I hope I'm wrong but he's not leading us back to the promised land.

Mario could have the 2001 Canes and lose games. Eventually, you have to put the talent in position to succeed. Mario is NOT that coach. He is NOT going to outcoach the man on the other sideline more than a few times a season. He's horrible. He doesn't play to the talent he has, so what does it matter who he brings in? You shouldn't need a roster full of 5 star players to win. Crap coaches need a far superior roster to compete.

Let's face it, with talent coming in and out with the portal, you HAVE to win with what you have NOW. There is no more building a roster for 2 years down the road. We are done until we get a game day coach. Period.

Dude, we had. Half a team

That defensive line would not have beaten anyone this season. They got blown up all game. No Chaney and then Fletcher getting hurt early were big losses for this game. Players being selfish and making dumb penalties is a Miami tradition. For gods sake get rid of these stupid *** punt formations. Just keep everyone on the line of scrimmage. Letting multiple guys run free is just stupid.

Seriously. These dudes are unhinged.

Doesn't "fancy" recruiting help depth

So he should have crafted a winning game plan with half his roster? For a meaningless game?

The punt block for a TD was game over.

how do we go from using 10 RB's the whole season to being ****ed when 1 gets hurt in the bowl game?

How did we do the first 12 games with the whole team?

It's not a meaningless game. Losing 6 starters should not lead to getting smashed by Rutgers University.

We were down more than 6 but I don't disagree. 3rd string qb as well

 

[Reyrey]

Made improvements in several areas. Plenty to improve. But if your grading the season based on the bowl game, you probably lick windows competitively

You act is if this is the first game he has looked inept. Bless your pea pickin heart.

Yes, it is meaningless.

Can we at least get the 2nd class of fancy recruits into school before we say recruits don’t matter?
