NO EXCUSES We now have championship quality talent

[TheRichtShow]

It was 2am, you could infer what I meant. I don't really feel like splitting hairs with you about it, but judging on what we know about the team last season, there's absolutely no reason Miami goes 5-5 (if you are of the belief that Diaz assembled a better staff than Richt did).. With this schedule, if our coaches are actually able to scheme and COACH, we should be able to mask our deficiencies much like Leach with WSU.

Leach didnt win until Year 4 at WSU. Not really a great example.

Another example of maniacal overhyping so during the rough patches next year the HERD can start thundering that Manny must be fired.

Next year will feature a new coaching staff that will require that they mesh together, which will mostly happen when experiencing game day pressures. Then, the coaches and their systems must mesh with the players. This is again best tested during game day experience. There are going to be rough patches.

Also, the 5-star roster spoken about is absurd! ****, last year's offensive line was...well...offensive. No vastly improved offensive line...no special season. Coaches cannot manufacture talent.

The QB position is still in disarray and as of today, there is no clear cut answer. Again, without significantly improved QB play...no special season!

Next year should be viewed as a rebuilding season and patience will be required.

The article clearly noted that the OL and QB position's remain as huge problems that must be addressed.

The only definitive claim it makes is that based on some of the existing player rating systems ...we have have as much championship quality talent as some of the other championship level teams when we compare the ratio of quality players. No more no less.

What that actually means is always subject to debate.... just as with any other preseason comparative analysis with all its caveats.

We ALL agree that the final proof of any preseason analysis remains the actual results after the season is completed...but even then some still debate the results.
