Everything u wrote here is pretty much on point I agree with all of it. Also man it's like we are Fielding an FAU Pitt type of squad like that's our ceiling and we are ok with it. I think if they do it long enough they will get the kid fans to think this is the way it is and flush the fans out who want excellence. Slowly and slowly they will push us out and this is who they will be for the foreseeable future.

You are prolly right, but they are very naive. This program belongs to the city and its kids as much as the U. When the memories of the past are gone and its just embarrassment after embarrassment, it wont be pretty. A lot of resentments will arise. Local media will fan the flames and mock the Admin. If the BOT wants to avoid noise with its football team, it needs to make sure it’s designed to be a 10-2 program, 8-4 on a bad year and 11-1 on a good year. That can fly but takes a lot of work. But this face plant thing, it’s headed for embarrassments galore.

Still think putting Coker in was a mistake as it was the beginning of our never ending Groundhog Day vibe. We would have won with real coach.
 
who was our 3rd string safety/walk-on?

that's who banda would have put in half the time over reed and claimed, "he's on that level"

you guys know what i'm alluding to

Coker was only up 14-0 in the 3rd vs FIU two years after Miami set the record for first round picks in the NFL draft.
Miami football hasn't had a competent coach outside of Richt in 20 years.
Miami football is dead.

Lol. Nick Saban was tied with (4-6)Citadel 10-10 going into half time last year.

None taken. Here's why Manny would have lost games. Coker didn't do much for that team, and it did well. Manny, on the other hand, would have turned it into a freaking circus. His grimy little fingerprints would have been all over that team. Of course the most talented team ever assembled shouldn't have lost a game. Then again, the 2019 version was certainly talented enough to not lose to a 2 win GT team and FIU. The reason they did? Manny Diaz.

Clappy sitting in the back room eating Werther's Originals in Tallahassee pre-game, only to give some D-level politician speech about the locker room feeling like a morgue—seconds before the real head coach Ed Reed gave his "I'm hurt Dawg... " speech and the Canes poured it on?

Pretty sure Manny Diaz Sr. could've coached 2001 Miami to a national title. Thanks for playing.

Dumb logic and pointless argument.

Coker didn't do much because he had been the offensive coordinator since 1995—seeing a team go through probation and rebuilt into a champion over the previous six years, in a completely different era of football.

Diaz rolled in when Richt took over a garbage Miami program and the long-time Georgia leader made it a little less garbage. Still had two four-game losing streaks over three seasons, lost to some crappy ACC teams and went 7-9 after that 10-0 start in 2017. THAT is what Manolo inherited; the exact opposite of what Larry did.

Coker "didn't do much for that team" because it was loaded, mature and he knew he didn't have to—just like Dennis Erickson knew he didn't have to tweak a championship-caliber defense in 1989, but instilled his offense and won a title.

News flash; Miami has been a "freaking circus" for 15 years and Diaz is working with what he has.

Blame him for some embarrassing losses this year—but not a decade-and-a-half of garbage-*** football in Coral Gables.

Give just about any coach in America what the University of Miami had been built into in 2001—and no one was losing—which was why Lawrence Edward Coker won his first 24 games and went 35-3 his first three seasons with Butch's players.

Take away some of those pieces, watch recruiting slip and that's why ol' Clappy was 25-12 down the stretch and amassed a 7-6 record a mere five seasons after that Fiesta Bowl "loss".
 
Manure wouldn't have won that title, those players that took it into their own hands in 01 with clappy would have told him and his merry band of faqqits to stay out of the way all the same.

You actually think worse coaching wouldn't have had consequences? You can believe that all you want.

People forget, we almost lost to VT that year, as well as BC. If Manny has Enos, I think we lose a couple games. If Coker was coaching this year, we pound FIU.

We beat a STACKED V tech 49-26. That BC wasn't chopped liver either.
