Michael Irvin: The NCAA Should’ve Taken Mark May Off ESPN « CBS Miami

“It is killing me watching Miami go through this, it really is” Michael Irvin said on Hochman, Crowder and Krantz. “And everybody is enjoying this. Everybody.

“Everybody is coming out of the woodwork, like we got ’em now, where they’re down and they’re never coming back up and I just don’t believe that to be reality… And let me tell you something else that gets on me. Mark May always talking about all these players should do this, you’re on national television telling us to go and create a violation. The NCAA should have got him off TV, they should have taken him off TV right there, telling the old players to go and recruit and go get the players. Like, dude, that’s against the rules. We would love to do that. IT’S AGAINST THE CURRENT RULES.”

On the state of Canes football, Irvin says “we will bring it back.”

“The next guy has to be the right guy. I don’t know if he’s a Canes guy. What I want is an exciting offense. It’s not just about wins, it’s even about how we win. You know what I mean? You’ve got to bring something that makes people put down all that other stuff to do in Miami and show up at the games and enjoy the games, and get crazy about the games and have ownership again.”

My favorite 'Cane of all time.

And I'm starting to get on this "turn Miami into a high octane spread offense" thing. Style points. Excitement. Miami is Miami because we've been historically inventive.

No reason we can't spread it out a little, score a **** ton of a points, and simultaneously commit to a hard-nosed 4-3 Jimmy Johnson defense.

GOD DAMMIT. BRING BUTCH BACK.

Stop with Strong or any retread/potato (Cristbal/Schiano).
 
Mike was shilling hard for Folden recently wasn't he? I'd love to see him jump on a guy like Herman and push an exciting agenda like that instead of that retread Beanerdict/Dud/MonkeyBoy triumvirate of skidmarks.
 
I want Baylor offense!

I'm tired of Pro-style so we can put TEs, QBs, RBs in the league while losing. I don't care about the league, I care about what we're doing on Saturday.

Really pleased to see both Jimmy Johnson and Michael Irvin publicly trying to put an end to this "Miami man" nonsense over the past 24 hours. Also agree with the premise of needing not only to win again, but restore an exciting, high-octane brand of football that fits our program and injects life into our recruiting base.

Have to hope voices like Johnson and Irvin's are the ones that are heard instead of the dopes vouching for Chud, Cristobal, Schiano, etc. Enough is enough.

Unfortunately for you, the players DO care about the league. College football is the NFL's farm system. The spread is about throwing the ball 40 times again where law of averages is thrown out the window. Pro form can be exciting as long as it's inventive, as another poster posted. Think of this, The U has better players at every position ( practically) than any school who runs a spread offense. The spread is what I would consider a gimmick. It challenging the other team to have a 2 deep nickel, or forcing LBs to cover speed slot receivers. Pro style is more strategy and skill. You don't know what to defend, nor who. To each it's own, but We recruit some of the best RBs in the game and they perform better with a FB in front of them, than the defense with one less LB in the box. Look at Lamar Miller and the Dolphins. Not so great in the spread, but dominates behind a FB. Good running game=good pass game. I would hate to see us conform to the spread, but hey...my annual income doesn't depend on it.
 
The only players that are hurt playing the spread so they can play on Sunday are QB's - do you know how few QBs make that leap?

I dont care if it is a spread just want an Off coach ---not D

Guess who you just described? I heard that's cristobal plan if he gets the job. He wants to install uptempo spread and play aggressive 4-3 defense.

I agree. Not sure when the last time we saw much FB in our offense and even then it was just blocking. The pro style Cane offense made stars of many a fullback. We have the talent to run the Pro set. Only a few other do and they run it. Option, spread and other gimmicks are **** you do when you do not have enough talent. The same is true of our old defense. We had enough speed everywhere to run our base and dare you to beat it.

Mike has been gone too long. I, for one, never went to game to see scoring; I went to see victory. My favorite memories are those tight nole games with good defense on both sides decided when they missed a field goal. You can score 60 points but if the other team scores 61 the stadium will remain empty. Whatever we do it better result in wins and NC shots, because this is Miami and that is all that matters. We cannot survive just scoring.
 
1. Is Butch better than Butch? YES!
2. Is Butch equal to Butch? **** YEAH!
3. Is Butch Butch? **** YEAH!
4. Butch passes the Butch test.
5. Hire Butch.

By the way, to date, Butch is the only candidate to actually pass the Butch test.

Look him up.

I don't know about you guys, but Miami has to think outside the box. They need to do exactly what Irvin said - make people want to come out and enjoy football again in Miami. UM is putting people in the league, even with Golden -- but how many times did Golden beat a Top 25 team?

Golden had more players drafted than TCU this past draft -- what's Miami ranked?

What's Gary Patterson doing right now, vs Al Golden?

Some of you guys need to wake up and realize this isn't 2001. Miami needs to get back to relevancy 1st.
 
You know what's exciting to watch? First downs lol (bottom 20 in 3rd down conversions?)


Seriously, tho, we've had playmakers comin out of our ears and record scoring, passing yards, etc. in the past 10 yrs, and it didn't mean crap b/c we weren't an aggressive football team.

It's exciting to see guys flying to the ball. Big hits. Turnovers. Ripping off chunks of yardage on offense. And SPEED.

When Willis or McGahee or Portis or Dre or Santana or Irvin or Hill or Bratton or Hester or 20EReed or SeanT had the ball in their hands... **** it something was gonna happen. It was electric.

We are sooooooooooooo slllllllloooooooooowwwww right now.
