It's unbelievable that we're hearing this "team separation" and "not on the same page" garbage again. We couldn't wait for Coker's players to get out of here, as they were the ones with the bad attitude...until Shannon's players developed a bad attitude, and we couldn't wait for those guys to get out of here. Golden was very vocal in his first couple years here about how some guys weren't buying in, so we were assured that the young guys, his guys, were going to change the culture. Now, since Golden is being given an additional year, for some unknown reason, it's all his guys, his upperclassmen, that aren't buying in.
So over the course of almost the last 15 years, we've apparently been really unlucky and had class after class of guys that have come in and not been willing to buy in...or maybe, we've just had 3 really bad coaches who can't put their players in a position to succeed, aren't good coaches or capable of leading a program like Miami. Maybe the upperclassmen under Golden aren't buying in because they've been around long enough to see through his BS, see through his mottos and pillars and promotional garbage, and see that his system isn't capable of producing at the highest level.
Maybe the defensive players are tired of playing in a system that doesn't allow them to do what most of them have done all of their lives and use their speed to attack. Maybe the offensive players are looking at each other, with all the talent they have, and aren't able to figure out why we play at such a slow pace, why we can't utilize our talent. Ultimately, I think these players are smart enough to see that Golden is once again throwing them under the bus, blaming them not following the system, not buying in, not being #united, instead of making changes to the actual systems, gameplans, etc that are holding the program back.
