My perspective on Miami as a Gator fan

0 on defense fits that "culture problem" y'all have. I don't know what to make of him when I watch him. He should be All ACC but watching him, he seems to want to buy in whenever he feels like it since he's not being held accountable
I think had an All ACC title last year as a true Freshman. 247 claimed he was a 5 star.


Physically gifted. Bought into his own hype.
 
Just exactly where is this mythical "tempo" stat kept, please?
I use action network's. And excuse me UM is 28th, not 24. Va is 24, I had em mixed em because it's the matchup this week

But if you want to do it yourself just go to cfbstats.com. multiply time of possession x 60 and divide by the number of plays...you will get seconds per play...And then you'll see. Sometimes you will get a difference by like 1/4 or 1/2 a second but never enough for a huge difference]

It's what I do...Pipe down with the mythical **** junior. I don't post "mythical" ****.

In case you are wondering...top 15
1. Indy 18.3 sec. (UM is 28th at 23.78 secs per play)
2. SMU
3. Ole Miss
4. Tex Tech
5. OU
6. Okie St
7. Tenn
8. MTSU
9. Ball St
10. Ga st
11. Ga Southern
12. Kent St
13. UNC
14. Northwestern
15. Wake

In case you are wondering...bottom 15 (in order from slowest backwards)
131. AF (31.94 sec per play)
130. UK
129. Minny
128. Oregon St.
127 SD St.
126 UAB
125. New Mex
124. Army (always bottom 10)
123. Michigan
122. Rutgers
121. Wisconsin (always bottom 10, will be interesting to see moving forward with new staff)
120. Rice
119. Uconn
118. GA
117. Miami OH

Heupel took a team with just a bad “culture” of losing and a 3-7 record and a couple vt rejects
And went 7-6 with a top 25 win
And by year two his team is rolling
I’ll give him this year but if this team doesn’t take a massive step forward next year
He’s a jag coach
And we’ll just be an avg team
Even cmr took a major jump year two
Exactly

Year 2 is much better indicator.
 
BUT

How did we appear to have buy-in until we went just happy to compete against A&M and couldn’t get in the endzone?

Did that lose the team for Mario leading into the 4 losses in 5 games?

If imma be honest there was a lot of hyperbolic reaction after beating BCU

👇🏾


Also, we had fans comparing Thad Franklin to FRANK GORE after BCU!

Fellow, there was so much mass hysteria & overreaction after smoking a FCS team. The fact is, from So Miss until now, this team has not look good. Whether we’re slanging the rock or running it, this team on both sides have looked pedestrian.
 
Y'all can middle finger me and **** talk me all you want for what i'm about to say but this is just an my opinion on what I see when I watch y'all play.

I watch Miami football and what I see on the field are players (not all but a lot) who either aren't good enough or they just do whatever the **** they want to do out on the field (on the defensive side of the ball).

However I feel about Cristobal as a game day coach is useless when I WILL admit he's inherited a MESS when it comes to the players he was left with from Diaz. Napier has to flip the talent from strictly a talent perspective but Cristobal has to flip that roster from a talent and culture perspective. He's going to have to completely strip it down there along with having complete buy in from the athletic department to give him time and whatever he realistically ask for because this is NOT a quick fix.

Outside of someone like Saban, Miami would have the same record with any JUST ABOUT any other coach in America. I don't think Miami would have more than 2 wins if they played the schedule Gators have played so far (and yes, I DO know Miami is decimated by injuries at the moment). That's how bad of a mess it is this season for y'all.

Cristobal gotta attack the portal this offseason like his career depends on it

other observations:

1. Gattis gotta speed it up offensively. Waiting till 10 secs and below to get the snap off is just too prodding.

2. Y'all sure y'all don't have anyone better than 11 at LB?

3. 12 should get 10 plus touches a game. He's underutilized.

4. 88, 12, 23, 85 should be 4 pass catchers on the field when y'all go with 4 pass catchers. I don't know how y'all stomach watching 5 out there at WR, I don't see it with him.

5. Burn 11 redshirt and get him close to 10 snaps a game at QB. Too dynamic

6. 64 is LEGIT at RG
Nothing you said is wrong, but I gave you the finger anyway.

Cmr won 9 in year 1 w a golden team that got blown the **** out by Clemson at home like we were Bethune and lost to a sitting us senator and struggled w fau. We also didn’t get blown out in year 1 in any game under richt.
 
You aren't wrong on really anything. I think the consensus is that it's the same players or better than last year, plus what is on paper supposed to be an elite staff. Then you have the addition of funding into the program and extra analysts and all these things that were supposed to 'help', yet we get the blunders of the MTSU game, and now Duke.
I believe all things staying the same, a different OC or scheme would have had us at 5 wins minimum, possibly 6. It's hard to overcome the defensive and ST ***** ups, but realistically just that alone would probably be good enough, with room for improvement for the other facets.

It's like I said in the other thread it is probably 65% coaches faults and 35% players faults. The culture part is built into that 35%. Culture is only a piece of the pie. Good coaching staff should be able to get buy-in and coach up and develop the players. I'm reserving full judgement for the end of year 2 with mario to decide. But, yes it is still too early to tell.
Some positives with the corching staff is that they have made changes relatively quickly and they have had some good evals (a thing we seem to have been lacking with the past staff)

Side note, are you sure you aren't a closet miami fan?
Don't disagree but what about the injury factor and NO depth. This contributed to fumbles.......... You.can't play 3 rd and 4 th level players and expect to win.
When this season did we have Canes at full strength?.......All it take is one cut, one pass, one block and the record of the Canes could be positive. Players can't play up to certain levels......you lose, no matter the Coaching.

I really think previous coaching staphs and players have a lot to do with our players buying into their own hype.

**** man now you posting on the regular board.. :ROFLMAO: ...Man you can fool yourself but i know you about to make that jump to get aboard this bandwagon even though this bandwagon seems to have taken a detour this year but I'm thinking we will run dead into to your **** bandwagon at the end of the year cause both of them are headed down the same steep slippery path to nowhere.

But I still got your spot saved but you better get aboard before Mario figures out WTF he's doing and straightens this **** out cause I don't think old Billy Boy got any shot of figuring his **** out..

Nice post and pretty much spot on but you know I got to give you a 🖕 just because..
