Dude do you have downs syndrome or something or are you really this stupid and not read my previous post showing you the problems with Miami at this point? What needs to change is the Defensive Philosophy and if Golden doesn't have the Testicular Fortitude to fire his friend or Change HIS Philosophy on Defense, he will ultimately be Fired al a Shannon.

To all the naysayers, Uncle Luke, and the bandwagon fans this U is in a better position now than 3 yrs ago. We have a 9 win season, a top 5 recruiting class, and a bright future. Yes, our defense is below par but we are not to far away. Give Golden 2 more yrs, same results he must go. By 2015 at a minimum we must win ACC championship. Why 2 yrs, he will have a Senior-Junior team with 2 deep in every position, no excuses. Go CANES!!!!!

We are far away. Just wait until we play a real schedule next year.

NO D IN CORAL GABLES

JT Thomson (Follow on Twitter)

Al Golden went on the Joe Rose Show today on WQAM in Miami, and after giving a completely implausible version of events of what transpired the last few days with Penn State, shifted to a discussion of the play on the field.

He immediately went into a full throated defense of his defense, citing progress and laundry listing statistics. There is a problem with the approach that Golden took, however. This improvement does not take into account the difference in quality of opponents from 1 year to the next. Golden listed out specific, cherry picked statistics where the defense marginally improved, but this ignores the fact that the 2012 Miami Hurricanes played 2 top teams out of conference (Notre Dame and Kansas State), while the 2013 Miami Hurricanes played one of the softest schedules in program history.

For a fair and complete analysis, it is important to compare like to like. In his interview, Golden also brought up the 2011 team, pointing out how good it was by once again cherry picking metrics. But what about a complete analysis of Golden’s defense and the one that preceded his arrival under head coach Randy Shannon, comparing games in the conference so you are comparing apples to apples? Oh, we have you covered.

The statistics are from games against conference opponents only in each year. So it removes the good from the defense against Savannah State, etc… but it also removes the beatdowns from Notre Dame and Kansas State last year.

Essentially, this is about as fair a look, removing statistical noise and talent discrepancies, that you can take at a defense’s performance. And the results?

Conference Rankings

Total yards per game allowed

Dead last by 50 yards this year.
Next to last in 2012.
8th in 2011.
5th in 2010.


Total yards per play allowed

13th this year.
11th (of 12) last year.
10th in 2011.
5th in 2010.


Number of plays

Dead last this year.
Dead last last year.
5th in 2011.
4th in 2010.


Scoring defense in conference play

12th this year.
9th last year.
4th in 2011.
5th in 2010.


Analysis: So the one year they slow down the game, the scoring defense looks good. But in reality, the Canes were still getting gashed at a ridiculous level. Since Al Golden arrived on campus, and right when he arrived on campus, the overall quality of the defense plummeted. Moving from one of the top in the ACC to the bottom.

Sacks in conference play

Tied for last this year.
11th last year.
8th in 2011.
5th in 2010.


Analysis: Golden said they improved on sacks this year. This is only because they ran up numbers against the dregs like Savannah State. Once in conference play, they were tied for worst in the ACC.

Tackles for loss in conference play

Last this year.
11th last year.
7th in 2011.
1st in 2010.


Analysis: Basically, Miami doesn’t make plays behind the line of scrimmage against vaunted ACC O-Lines and Offenses. In 2010, the year prior to Golden’s arrival, they were the best in the conference at this.

Opponent 3rd down conversion % in conference

Last this year.
10th last year.
8th in 2011.
2nd in 2010.


Opponent 3rd down conversions in conference

13th this year.
8th last year.
4th in 2011.
4th in 2010.


Opponent 4th down conversion % in conference

Last (83% ALLOWED!).
5th last year.
5th in 2011.
1st in 2010.


Opponent 4th down conversions in conference

Tied for last this year.
Tied for 4th last year.
T-6 in 2011.
1st in 2010


Analysis: The team doesn’t get off the field on 3rd down. They don’t get off the field on 4th down. Again, in 2011 when they slowed down the game, the number of conversions went down, but they still converted them at a ridiculous rate.

Opponent redzone touchdown conversion % in conference


4th this year.
8th last year.
1st in 2011.
2nd in 2010.


Opponent redzone touchdown conversions


9th this year.
12th last year.
1st in 2011.
2nd in 2010.


Analysis: The good thing about the defense is that when the opponent gets to the redzone, they actually do a good job of keeping the opponent from scoring touchdowns. The bad news is that they let them in there more times than anyone in the conference, so they get scored on one way or another.

Opponent plays of greater than 10 yards in conference

last this year.
last last year.
10th in 2011.
5th in 2010.


Opponent plays of greater than 20 yards in conference

11th this year.
9th last year.
1st in 2011.
5th in 2010.


Analysis: This is pretty remarkable. Not only is the defense not making plays behind the line of scrimmage, but other teams are converting big plays.

Turnovers forced conference play


tied for 6th this year.
tied for 2nd last year.
10th in 2011.
2nd in 2010.


Analysis: The Canes did a good job of forcing turnovers the last 2 years. Interestingly enough, even in this positive metric, it actually trended down this year.

Conclusions

The defensive “progress” and “upward trend” in performance Al Golden referenced in his Joe Rose Show interview are COMPLETELY attributable to the out of conference opponents being weaker. The defense has yet to improve in three years, and there is no statistical justification for continuing under the same defensive staff and/or scheme. We’ll close with this handy little chart showing the real lack of progress.

The people vs. Golden's fairytale. This staff will not be here for a 5th year without significant improvement in all these metrics.
 
Scheme my ***, if u do nit have the players forget about it. We need stud linemen n linebackers who r juniors n seniors consistently.

Better position doesn't mean good. If I move up from making $7 a hr to $10 means am still f'ing broke. The cloud that never rained doesn't change what Miami stands for. Even if No D and Golden feels that way
 
I'm as positive of a fan that you'll find, I give coaches to year four before I fully judge. But it's at the point where I can see nothing will change , and he is a god awful game day coach . I mean Temple fans said this when he left, but we said they were just butthurt .

How many butt rapings on national tv do we need before some of y'all say " that's enough"?

Look at his conference record. Games against top 25 teams, or teams with 8 wins.

The writing is on the wall, even I can see that.

No. We HAD a nine win season.

That top 5 recruiting class? Not for long. You have no idea how this sorry-assed play is going to affect recruits. By the end of this season, Golden will be relying solely on walk-ons unless it gets out that Golden is gone at the end of the season.
