Listen to that man’s voice talkin about this… for all the folks who say “we should just go 4 wide and air it out all the time…”

Ain’t gonna happen. We will lean on people, move them against their will and try to break their spirit. That’s what he’s about

Nothing in that clip says we cant go 4 wide, we are 3 wide alot, and our WR block and have no problem doing it.. even inserting and leading.. You can still push a pile if Bauman is not on field

Fans; TE position is weak, just take them out and go 4 wide.

MC; That's a great idea but how bout instead of putting in another WR we put in another tackle! POUND POUND POUND!

I dunno about ‘all the time,’ but a lot of the time, that should be the way this upcoming year. You don’t necessarily abandon the run game because you’re in 4WR. And, you can still push that sled and drag piles if you need it. But, if they go 4WR and see light boxes, the first contact may not come till farther down the field. Just look at our personnel and our advantages.

Oh I don’t question whether it could be done, how it’s done or whether we could do it… my point is more “he’s not going to do it”.

Not his style and not the identity he wants for his team. And it’s certainly not the style of offense he wants to see late in games.
 
Concern I have is, for all the talk about “breaking their will,” that UF game was a 1 score game late. Needed a huge defensive stop to turn things around.

We held the ball against SMU for a long time and it got us nothing.

We held the ball against Ole Miss for a long time and it got us down. We had to open up the offense and throw it around. And when we did, we scored at will.

Beating them into submission made a lot of games closer than they needed to be, and resulted in a loss in one of those games.

Agreed… I almost don’t want to say it but it appears he’d rather lose doing it that way than win doing it differently because he believes in the long term effects of the former so much.

But anyone who’s played a sport long enough at any level has probably had a coach like that.

I don't like your tone.

Against UF Miami threw it 30 times for 160 yards… whatever they were trying to do in the air wasn’t working.

Vs SMU Miami was up 20-17 with 6 minutes left and the drive went: run, pass, run, run, 3rd down pass (30 yards, penalty), false start, pass for 1st down, run, pass, pass (incomplete), punt. Also threw it 38 times in the game.

Sometime the “lean on them and beat them into submission” happens but it mostly applies to certain drives vs the whole game.

We just weren’t a high scoring team, our formula was more grinding out games. He’s not talking about the score here
 
With our Canes who can put up points " fast and furious".........let it fly.

Why should we ground and pound and win in the 4 th, when if we play smart and with our talent on the benches, we can get many bench sitters in the game and punch their "game experience" card.

The talent is there, we need to use it and blow out teams..........period..."breaking their will " is a misnomer.
Style points win out over "imposing our will".

The 2026 Canes are "animals" and "dawgs"....we have to cut them loose and kick some a**.
Seriously.......win bigly...

Thats how championship teams are built, the 4 wide **** is that 7 on 7 soft ****. That and1 YT ****.

We out there trying to snatch souls, Bama did it for ages up front and then started mixing up the spread **** but it was up front where they won those big games.



PAUSE

Weather was awful that day and we had a Marty Brown TD called back for a fake whistle.

I’m more concerned about games like that and even ND and OSU to an extent that didn’t appear close, certainly not physically, that didn’t translate to the scoreboard.

Maybe we’re on the same page and that’s exactly what you meant.

The mentality we had to end the season needs to be what we have all season every season. Try to absolutely blow teams the **** out.

This **** is just so obvious. Same was having just a slow ground control run up the middle “just don’t lose yards” offense with ZERO EXPLOSIVENESS through the air was never going to be great.

Same was all the evidence continued to show the more motion and pistol we ran the better we were. And this yr of course we are going to run a lot of 11 and 12. But we 1000% should run more 10 then we ever had under Mario. We don’t have an Arroyo this yr like we had in 24. One as a whole our WR too looks like the best we’ve probably had in 20 years…
 
A good team wins games in one method, like UM in 2024

A really good team has more than one way to win a game, like UM in 2025. We started off in a bunch of rainy weather games and had to play it close, and then opened things up as the season progressed and weren’t playing in rain. BUT, those close score games also taught us how to win close games in the playoffs. and you have to know how to win those games. Beating ND and UF in one score games certainly paid dividends against TAMU, OSU and Ole Miss.

A great team wins anyway it wants. I want to harken back to 2001, but we had close games that year against VTech and of course BC.
