Ironically, Golden may have had the best OLs since Butch. I think one season all five starters later played in the NFL for multiple seasons. No All-Pros or Pro Bowlers I can remember, but they played in the league. Have we had an OL make a squad and stick since Richt?

Golden is a GREAT example of guiding true north, but he failed and spectacularly so. Dabo is another and he's hoisted multiple Nattys.

Corch Alf tried very hard to turn Miami into Pedo State South.

If it had worked, every coach would stroke his crank at book signings of Deserve Victory. He stuck to his guns and ir didn't work out.

What's wrong with this statement

Balance is what wins in CFB. Can't be one dimensional. No one throwing 55 times a game is winning anything.

You people are pure comedy on here anymore.

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.

100% serious with these givens*:

- Big Manny was begged by Miami far moreso than he came to Miami
-- His demand was clear: program built my way, everyone supports this effort--Mas, Lemonis, Ruiz, Rhad the Impaler, and Alonzo...give me resources and get out of my way
-- Program will be built Y1-Y3, win now is great, but real season starts Y3/Y4, anything earlier is gravy
- HE RELISHES THE GRIND, THE TOIL, THE STRUGGLE and the long term result that comes, not today's (sounds ALOT like Saban, alot like JJ in Dallas, or Butch at Miami)
- He respects JJ, Butch, and Saban and is implementing their philosophy (who shared same messaging for all of their Y1s)
- He will install his baseline, then tweak accordingly, not yank and bank the stick
-- Organizations fail miserably (mostly) when new leader diverges from plan of what got them there
-- Sticking to plan is no guarantee of success, but it helps....ALOT
-- His strategy is focusing everyone in Hecht, and those who provide resources, towards a true north: bully the trenches and strong passing attack


Yes AtM, MTSU, and UNC make everyone want to scream and break shït. I know I smashed my TVs 3 times, kicked everyone out of the house, my family crying, lit the garage on fire, and then I threw a corn hole bag at my MiL's head (nasty old bat that one is).

If we objectively look at the three losses, its actually very few plays different and Miami is a scorching hot 5-0. This only reinforces Big Manny's view of true north. "Listen to me, we are going to get 1 cot **** yard right now!!!! And then we are going to get 2 yds next time, and then 3, do you get me!!??" If he is the leader I think he shows the makings of, the athletes Miami wants in the program are going to run through brick walls and stomp guts. Not today unfortunately, but long term.

Again, none of above gaurantees success, but he believe firmly it has, does, and will. He has the luxury of time to build a winner, not win right now.

I'm not sure he does it, but I do believe he is doing it the way that puts much brighter days ahead (long way ahead) for our Miami Hurricanes.

But didnt he just lose in a game where his QB threw for more yards than any other QB has this year in a game?

Being one dimensional kills your red zone efficiency.

Miami is ranked...

22nd in total offense
15th in passing yards per game this year
69th in rushing yards per game
73rd in red zone offense this year.

Its not rocket surgery here guys...

We lost because we can't score points no matter how many yards we chew up not because of being one dimensional. We have no explosive playmakers and Gattis can't call plays in the redzone. For example we couldn't run because they were loading up the box on the goal line and we countered with no WR.

Context.

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.
