Some of the penalties were bull**** calls. Not one holding call on Tech.

I’m glad that somebody other than me noticed.

Our WR’s were held and interfered with on multiple plays, and the Tobacco Road refs ate their whistles. Our D-Line was also blatantly held various times, and not one flag.

It’s tough enough to win with this staph and team. When you also have to play against the zebras, it makes it even more difficult.

The 2 TD drives that VT had were mostly yardage gained from bullshyt penalties.

Even Tech fans around us were shaking their heads.

Miami needs much smarter football players. Our guys football IQ is incredibly low in so many ways

There's never been a good dumb team.

From not understanding how to play certain coverage's, penalties, etc. It's maddening to see

Miami won, but they really survived versus a bad team, lets be honest

That all starts at the top of the team @k9cane.

LOW IQ guys need not play or see reps get eaten up
 
atleast mario and gattis swallowed their pride and are now allowing TVD to sling it. Thats about the only positive i have with Mario right now.

happy with a conference road win, but marios gonna have to stack ungodly amounts of talent to mask his coaching deficiencies. We all sorta knew this already but it sucks to see it in real time.

So Mario could win 12 games with less talent than we supposedly have now, but all of a sudden he's a caveman who doesn't understand the game? Explain that one.

Different discussion.

You seem to be saying he has a good resume.

I think most are saying his resume is irrelevant, he is not performing now...today...this year. We don't get spotted touchdowns each game because he won 12 games a few years ago.

This year is all that matters.

With the 10 coaches and 50 analysts on staff how is Miami still so dumb in this regard?

Make it make sense

These aren’t horses. They’re football players and they need to be coached and taught. That’s how it works. No one is gonna convince me that the problem is that the roster is full of guys who just have a low football IQ and can’t be coached to play smarter.

Of course it matters. If he is such a bad coach with better players, he would have gone 6-6 at his previous gig. The resume is why you don't panic after 6 games.

Then we should all agree to disagree, because you aren't going to convince me that Georgia's players are taught the basics when they get to Athens.

A lot of these players were holdovers from last year. And did dumb chit then too.

You can’t fix stupid.
 
I mean, do you guys watch this game and think that Young, Gibbs, Latu, etc., were just taught how to do this when they arrived on campus??

Our issues have never been a talent one, vs. IQ. We’ve been saturated in bad habits for…since Moses said let my people go.

It’s sad, laughable, cringeworthy all at the same time. We should coin a new T-shirt that says: “Miami…beating ourselves since 2004”
