My Post Game Recap - UNC

We’re so far removed from “what being a Miami Hurricane” means it’s irrelevant. What many fail to realize is from 1937 to 1983, Miami was irrelevant. We had a helluva run from 1983 to 2001. Getting back to those glory years looks like Mount Everest at this point.

In your opinion do you think we can get back there? I do

I think so. The brand is strong enough to draw good players but we’ve gotten so far behind in a few areas it’ll take some more time. Howard caught the CFB world by surprise. We don’t have that element anymore. Many teams have caught up and obviously surpassed us.
Whether or not Manny can get us over the hump is still up for debate. He made the changes on O that were obviously necessary. If he doesn’t make the obvious necessary changes needed on D, he’ll have a short tenure.

Offense:

Gaynor & the entire OL got completely overwhelmed, UNC's front 7 had them on skates all game. Zion, Scaife, Gaynor, Clark & Jarrid were pedestrian.

Wiggins got bullied by an 18 year old True Freshman who was supposed to be still in High School right. Tony Grimes was the #1 ranked 2021 CB in this year's class, but he reclassified & enrolled at UNC in August while he was still 17 years old & he absolutely just snatched the ball from Wiggs who has no strength whatsoever. Wiggins is a total waste of size, he's 6'3 but plays like he's 5'8, has no physicality at all & has no explosion or athleticism, he never plays the ball in the air & every time he makes a catch (on the rare occasions when he does) he's fighting the ball & it takes a miracle from Heaven just for him to hang onto it. Completely useless WR.

D'Eriq King, Brevin Jordan & Mike Harley were the only players on this team who had any cajones, who played with any heart & actually cared, everybody else just quit.

Defense:

Defense gave up a staggering 778 yards of total offense & 554 yards of rushing. We allowed a 300 yard rusher & gave up the most yards by 2 RB's on the same time in FBS HISTORY. Smfh. I also think that was the most yards allowed by a Miami Defense in school history.

DJ Ivey is a not a Miami caliber CB, he wouldn't start at FIU, **** he wouldn't start at Bethune Cookman, in fact there are CB's at Keiser & St. Thomas University that would play better than him. He's slow AF, stiff hipped, colossally bad eye discipline, plays with no physicality, doesn't know how to leverage to the sideline, gives up inside leverage more than any corner I've seen, opens the gate (meaning opens his hips too early) & can't cover down field at all. He's the WORST CB in coverage I've ever seen in my life. If he arbitrarily starts next year, whoever is in charge of that decision is a ****** idiot, put him on the bench & leave him there.

Amari Carter took an awful angle on the 65yd TD run by Michael Carter. And took terrible angles on just about every TD that was scored by UNC, he was just as bad as he's ever been in his career. Regardless of my personal feelings about off the field, on the field he's just not a good player & never needs to take another snap at this program again.

Zach McCloud is horrendous, BJ Jennings is horrible. The entire LB corps is slow & undisciplined, they play with no gap integrity & they look like a bunch of JV FCS players. The LB group is Baker's unit & this group along with the CB group plays like pure garbage against any offenses with any team speed.

Gurvan Hall looked completely silly on the 2nd TD run by Michael Carter.

FIRE BLAKE BAKER & MIKE RUMPH! There's no justifiable reason to keep either one of them on staff. They are the two biggest liabilities both on the field & on the recruiting trail, they have no redeemable qualities & they've both made themselves expendable for horrible Defensive performances this season in games like Louisville, Clemson, NC St & UNC. If Diaz doesn't wanna go out like Al Folden, he better pull his head out of his *** & get rid of the bums on his Corching staff. Blake Baker is worse than Mark D'Onfrio, he has the charisma of a broken statue, he's gonna go down as the worst DC in Miami history & that's really saying something because we've had some really bad ones over the years.

This Defense was completely EMBARRASSED, Run Defense was ATROCIOUS, they were lifeless, they played like a bunch of kids who have never even played the game of football before. Every single player on the Defense took God awful angles & they just quit. The entire Defense played as if they forgot their was a game today, they looked slow, sluggish & completely lethargic, they had no fight whatsoever, they got hit in the mouth & folded up like a lawn chair. This was worse than the 2015 UNC beat down.

Every time this team makes any progress they get too big headed & get smacked back to reality, it's 1 step forward & 2 steps back. This was as bad as a performance as Diaz had when he was DC at Texas & BYU gashed them for over 600yds & Mack Brown fired him.

I don't care who doesn't comeback, I actually hope they all leave early, this team needs an infusion of talent & continuing to hide behind slow upperclassmen will only leave us exactly where we are, which is a team that can't compete with any other team that has legitimate talent. We can beat up on the lesser teams, but get our *** whooped every time we play a good team. We're a paper Tiger.

Any & all leeway that Diaz had bought himself up until this point is completely lost, obviously the administration won't fire him up after this year, but he's gonna end up like Al Folden & eventually get shîtcanned because he's too stubborn to make changes to the Defense.

The refusal to recruit Corners has caught up to this team & it will only get worse come next year, change this ****** Defense around & or the 2021 season will be just like the 2018 season following the 10 win 2017 season. What a horrible ****** way to end the season, extremely disappointing & more of the same nonsense that has plagued this program for the last 17 years, Diaz you're on the clock, either fix this shît ASAP on you're going down in flames just like all your predecessors.

Oh & I'm almost certain whoever we get in whichever Bowl game we get is going to beat our asses too, because it's beyond obvious this Defense just wants to go home. We just killed whatever recruiting momentum we had with this shît show performance, same old Canes on that same old bullshît Smfh.

What a ****** disgrace smh.

Worst performance worst than the Clemson loss, our LBs were non existent McCloud and Jennings need to graduate move on. Its Brooks and Flagg time along with freshman and transfers. Also our corner back room needs to be rebuilt as Ivey isn't fluid enough or has that second gear to keep up with fast receivers, we need transfers there.
 
Can anyone who was at the game and near the Miami sidelines see if Manny or Baker ever were demonstrative? They showed Manny gathering the defense at one point, but Baker seems like he just stands around. I recall Mullen absolutely lighting up his DC for something during a game, would Diaz ever do that to his buddy Blake? I get that Baker has no personality, but if you were ever going to show some fire this would have been the time.

Once again, lots of truth to what you are saying. This one was one for the ages. An epic loss and crash and burn. Diaz won't be canned but he needs to clean house on the D side of the ball and make some bold moves.

If he doesn’t pull a dabo and can the dead weight he will be gone by year 5. Dabo got to a NY6 and got blown out after a really good season. So he canned Steele and got venebals. Changed the trajectory of the program.

Disclaimer: I don’t think manure is dabo. I think he ultimately gets canned somewhere between years 4&6

New DC, new defensive staff. There isn’t one defensive position coach I’d retain.

Manny pulled the plug on Enos, Stubblefield, and the OL coach last season. He’d better show the same concern for his defense, starting an hour or so ago.

Bingo thats exactly what he needs to do this week, but would only keep Banda for recruiting nobody else.
