Then again, knowing this fanbase, they can't be bothered to look at this rationally.

What Gattis(Or any competent playcaller) is LIKELY saying is that being forced to pass almost 60 times in a game, because 1)The running game was putrid and 2)Miami was behind all day is not a winning formula. That is not optimal and outside of the extreme outliers, no one wants to throw the ball that often, because odds are you aren't going to win. The fact that this quote, which anyone with an IQ above room temperature would note is pretty boilerplate, is blowing up is insane. I know a lot of our fans just think that Miami is going to go willy nilly and throw the ball on every down, but even the most extreme air raid teams aren't throwing it almost 60 times per night.

Miami desperately needs a competent run game, and we also need to get more efficient in the redzone, which Gattis discussed in the same **** interview. Being unable to consistently get yards on the ground hurts you in the redzone, it also hurts you in regards to flexibility in regards to playcalls. Gattis has to be better at leveraging the pass game in the redzone, but I get his point about the run game not being what the team needs it to be.

again, no one on earth says you shouldn't be balanced. the issue is you dont have to force balance when you can't do it. we aren't a run team. we dont have that OL. we couldn't run the ball against UNC for anything. their takeaway is we passed too much in that game. overall, yes, balance is key. in that game, we ran it for like 20 yards on 18 attempts. we could've passed 20 less times and ran 20 more times and wed still only Gain maybe another 10 yards. it wasn't going to change and we needed to pass that day to get back into the game and stay in it. thats the issue. but go on that were all idiots and pure comedy. im the one who said gattis would be fired after southern miss bc his approach, play calling, and schemes are trash for this current roster. its not a coincidence that we had our best offensive output of the year (including most points we scored on a p5 team so far) when we reverted to a more spread approach. against UNC, we weren't one dimensional bc we passed 55+ times. we were one dimensional bc we can't run the ball just as we couldn't run on MTSU. running the ball wasn't having any success and we weren't going to have success running it the way we approached it. if we averaged 4 yards a carry, **** yeah run the ball, but when youre averaging less than 2. yeah ill pass forcing the issue esp right down the middle of the line.

And the point @PIPO Is making is that any preconceived notion of balance or amount of times you run or pass is dumb.

You do what works. Period. Pipo is 100% right.

I dont want to hear Gattis say we didn't run enough. Only thing I care about hearing him say is that we didn't SCORE enough.

Great post!

At the end of the day, his job is to score more points than the other team. Not to appease Mario or himself by trying to prove that we have the more physical team, when by every metric that matters so far this season (specially in the red zone), we have proven that we are not.

It’s a simple game, kind of like General Math, and Mario and Gattis are turning it into Calculus II by continuing to try to force this caveman philosophy on this roster, and in this day and age.

If you don't even attempt to use your tall WR's and TE's for pass plays in the end zone the D is simply going to load the box and shut down the run game. Having an active passing threat is key for the run game to work better as well. Cannot be ONE dimensional in the red zone ... we have been and the results have been putrid. Have to get Mallory, Young, Skinner and a slot receiver actively involved in the end zone. Gattis acts like he has never called plays before. Scary. OJT.

so now do your own research and see their numbers. are they running for under 2 a carry in games and crying that they needed to run more in that game for no other reason than to run more (this wasn't just gattis saying it but Mario literally said it post game when he saw we couldn't move the ball an inch on the ground but passed w ease). Id get it if 21, rooster, thad were punishing the DL and moving the ball at will. we weren't doing that

If you are complaining about a HC and OC lamenting that they don’t have balanced attacked you are trying to push a narrative.

98% of all offensive coaches will tell you they want a balanced attacked.

CJ Stroud has almost 2000 yards passing and 24 td’s and we aren’t at the half way point lol. He’s also the front runner for the heisman while sitting every fourth quarter. These teams run attempts and yards will always be high because they‘re up huge by halftime most weeks. I’m not sure why this is so hard for people.

It's hard for them because they don't actually watch other teams play. They watch Miami, see highlights of other games and watch College GameDay. That's the extent of their football watching. The lack of a clue about anything outside of Miami football on this board is astounding.
