MIAMI TALENT

We ain't Bama, but we're sure as **** more talented than the Citadel. And we're talented enough that we should have beat CMU by 35. That's coaching.

This is the whole thing in my opinion. Why do talented high school players come here and underachieve?

Coaching and player development is the obvious explanation. But I believe it all starts with the message these coaches deliver to recruits and players.

I think we’re leaning on our history of putting kids into the league too much. Kids come to play here and think if they just go through the motions, put a decent highlight reel together, have a good showing and pro-day and/or combine, they’ll get drafted. And they do. Why do more?

If you look at our history, our waves of success have usually come after periods of failure. I’m willing to bet the message to a lot of those kids during those times was: “Know why you’re coming to the U? Cause Alabama/Georgia/UF, etc - doesn’t think you’re good enough for them. But guess what? Come here and we’ll coach you up to kick their ******* asses and you’ll be the one with the last laugh. You’re gonna work harder then you’ve ever worked but it’ll be worth it.”

When you have kids with that mentality AND have a staff that is competent enough to know they can’t just show up - they need to out work, out scheme, out coach and out recruit everyone in the country - then we’ll see something.

In short, if every coach and player had that TRUE underdog mentality that old teams had, then we’ll perhaps someday be respectable again.

Ok. I think it's more so about the coaches not putting them in position to be successful. We need to be running a spread offense and on defense we need to play more man press instead of this attacking bend but don't break defense.
 
If you don’t think we’re talented, you’re fooling yourself. I put our skill position guys on offense and front 7 up against just about every top 10 team. OL and QB are the killer.

first of all can you please speak like a normal person? Nobody is legit taking you as an official on the definition of the word talent when you can’t put a sentence together with any form of grammatical accuracy.

secondly, talent IS potential. They are synonymous (look it up as I’m sure you will need to). Talent means nothing if it isnt cultivated (go ahead, look it up as well). 17 year olds aren’t fully made products, they have to be developed.

development isn't all coaching, these kids have to WANT it also. I don't see a lot of kids who want it. I mean the way to handle being ****ed about playing time is to drop the ball when you get the chance right? Run a half assed route and not fight for the ball?

All day I watch college football and see kids on other teams go up and fight for catches. Our guys can't be bothered to fight for the ball if it's off by a foot. We don't get pass interference calls because our kids don't go after the ball.
 
We've always had talent here. Mfers get here and regress when these dumbazz staphs start running reverses on the 5, playing walk-ons in the clutch, etc..
 
It's only about 12 teams better than Miami talent wise, man these boys that are here are just wasting their talent, should have gone elsewhere, the time for us to win was last season and this season, but leave it up to us to F it up.
 
Talent really, our best WR came from the portal, the portal DE just started ahead of our best recruited DE, our punter came from JC cause our 4 star punter crash and burn. We brought in our FG specialist is crashing and burning. Folks we are talking about catching a football, tackling and blocking, catching punts and passes, XP and fG's that if we execute we be probably undefeated. We have no gap or assignment integrity on defense, the thing we do have is a lack of discipline that i blame the coaches for. Again what to do you, sit Donaldson down great, you put in a freshmen. If you had talent and competition there would be more accountability. Sorry but Ivey killed us on Saturday, good grief got caught looking twice just in the first half all he had to do was just run, with the gunner, and the WR, that's 14 less points, just run that's all that's not on the coaches. We may have talent, but we sure don't have football players. One good thing as bad as our juniors have played this year I don't think any of them are turning pro.

"Talent? Stop it! You think talent is 82pts and 1,000yds in two weeks?!? Son of a *******!!! It's embarrassing".

That was almost a decade ago. Nothing has changed; in fact, it's gotten worse.

Keep hearing about how talented we are. Even the announcers yesterday kept saying it. And it gets me thinking - bull ******* **** man. But maybe people have the wrong idea about what talent is.

See, I don't give a single **** if you can run fast or jump high. I don't give a god**** about your shuttle time or your short area burst or none of that nonsense bull**** we was talking about in the summertime.

You don't have to be Butch ******* Davis to identify talent. It ain't Calculus.


CAN YOU BLOCK THE GUY YOU ARE SUPPOSE TO BLOCK?

CAN YOU TACKLE THE GUY YOU ARE SUPPOSE TO TACKLE?

CAN YOU CATCH THE FOOTBALL WHEN IT'S THROWN AT YOU?


If you can't do the BASIC, FUNDAMENTAL **** that goes along with playing your position, then MISS ME with all this talk about your height and weight numbers. THIS is why we lose. We DON'T do the EASY things well.

And this is where MIAMI FAILS. We recruit a kid like Bubba Baxa because we caught up by the fact that he can boot the ball 70 yards. We caught up by leg strength and all these nonsense metrics. Meanwhile we IGNORE the fact that he can't do the FUNDAMENTAL thing a kicker ought to do - MAKE A GOD**** EXTRA POINT. His high school % was abysmal.

The whole mindset of this program is toxic. We focused on all the wrong things, when all the things that could make us a better team are so SIMPLE.


So I will never call these guys talented football players. And I will never call these talented coaches. The end.

They are usually more talented when they enter the NFL. It shows how abysmal the coaching has been since Coker. ACC Championship? Nope. Bunch of people in the NFL? Yup. Wtf

It is like clock work. As soon as the coach can no longer be defended everyone runs to the talent argument.

Forget the rankings or how many stars are on the roster...if there are no espn highlights then there must not be any talent.

Everyone arguing we have no talent is always the same. They have no idea what talent is and they all equates talent to big plays and highlights. They do not see those highlights so we must not have any talent.
