Mario, Please Fire Someone on the Defensive Staff

Why wouldn’t they want it? Those kids should have (and have been imo) weeded out.

OC’s are taking advantage of Heatherman’s tendencies and the kids are being blamed because of it.

I see a lack of confidence. Not a lack of effort.
I competed in Jiu Jitsu and have been around world champions and there is a distinct difference to someone who thinks they want it and someone who actually does. Just doesn't seem like they are locked in, and I can see it with some players with their body language or on field effort. I'm not here to say the scheme is perfect, but is it that different from last year? I just think that the whole fire everybody reaction is a bit much for a team that is on pace to win 11 regular season games.
 
Idaf what he was expecting. That effort like we’re playing two hand touch was unacceptable and have no idea how that happens.
I've also never seen Mario be this chill about such a blatant lack of effort.

Like, he was completely calm.
Like if Lucas was ever investigated for a gambling case, this would be the first play used. The only reason why there’s not more of an outrage is because he got a pick. That doesn’t happen and fans want him gone.

i don't get why he did that. i guess he can't tackle.
 
He's 56 looking like 76. Not everyone responds well to the coaching profession physically.
id rather bet on mirabel being here for multiple years that miami covering the spread against teams like duke sadly

That play alone cements that he will be undrafted so either he’s coming back or transferring.

I hope we get a new cb coach…. And maybe Harris leaves but I hope that doesn’t cause us to lose that 5 star cb

I've said this years ago, I extremely dislike the lack of cohesiveness on our coaching staff. They may be good in their own right, but every coach has different things that they believe in, different terminology, drills and schematic backgrounds.

That leads to eventual busts in coaching, which is somewhat what we see now. It's not cohesive, it's not a unit. And if you're a HC not calling plays, you get two coordinators in that assemble their staff. And we don't do that IMO.
 
The defense was actually decent today overall. I know it doesn't feel like it, but they gave up 330 ish total yards with 70 of them coming on the last meaningless drive. They did enough today.
Agree ~
Would have liked to see some type of game plan to stop Sheppard.
 
You cannot allow this level of mismanagement to continue. Heatherman would be preferable, but there is not a single unit on that side of the ball that isn’t an abject failure.

Anything short of termination(s) means you find the product on the field acceptable and in line with championship standards.

Thank you.
Miami road our defense to the national championship game last season and now you want to fire that staff? While ignoring the injuries to key players that missed most of the season?

Defense is fine , we just need to send db blitzes from further away and later. If we do that everything will work out.

This is true. Muscle memory will always beat a quick thinker. I think if we look at some of the issues, its stuff we already knew before the season, and that is that our LB's are not very good covering in space. That's exactly how teams attack us.

Yeah, what's frustrating to me is the unwillingness to make substantial changes. The dye is cast on what this Miami team is...
 
We have other ways to get explosives (Barkate and Mallory on screens). Mensah seems constantly under duress for deep patterns to develop. He misfired a couple of times with Jacobs but I think that’s more getting timing down.
I remember the Stanford game where he was pushing the ball downfield a lot more and early games

Ever since wake it feels like it’s been middle of the field and screens as the oline has been getting whipped.
