On to UNC

Advertisement
Call it a defeatist attitude but I’m coming to realize what Miami had in the 80’s, early 90’s was just a lucky time to be a Canes fan and for a guy my age, 40s, was all I knew in my early days of watching college football. The early 2000s was a short lived renaissance. I think Miami can win big again but it’s not the same formula today...

I wouldn’t be shocked with a loss, that offensive line with still a young QB on the road? I lost a little faith with the staff putting that line at there thinking they could handle it when it should have been obvious before hand. Closed practices led the blind... I was ultra positive a few days ago now cautiously optimistic.

I don’t see it.

UNC has no horses this isn’t the 08/09 squad before everyone got suspended. I just think because of the coaching staff the offense MAY be able to do something. Their defense is sauced tho.

OL too.
 
This one should be a statement for our team. Time to shake off the Gator stank by winning with some comfort. I'd predict 40-13 scoreline. OL will look better, so will entire team and we will start to be talked about as the defacto Coastal champs. Need Lingard... he makes up look like we have top talent all over the field.

The formula is there.
1) Hire a HC that can croot and understands the crooting numbers.
2) Croot. Never fail to fill spots at every spot... a full 85 man roster that processes out bad *SOs and JRs every year.
3) Hire the best coordinator minds possible whose football philosophies match local talent, and understand the depth chart.
4) Beat the **** out of the Costal.
5) Hold the assistants to count, upgrade when capable. Some should be technicians, other should be recruiting aces.

We do that over and over again for Manny... and if we start landing fifteen 4*s and four 5 stars every cycle, we'll be ready.

I will too but IF they drive like they were last year before the turnovers they scoring 20 with no problems.

Two gimmick scores and two field goals is 20.

I’d like to see them not score over 10 but while we are still getting the defense figured out and our ability to occasionally allow big gashes I could see 20 for at least this game.

I’m going 45-17 in a coming out party for JW15 and our running attack. Defense forces 3 TO’s, housing 1 just like Finley did last year. Hedley is solid again, netting 43.8yds a kick and the ST play is significantly better than it was versus the Gayturd.

Florida Game is Over guys time to focus on UNC!

All these Florida threads making my head hurt it’s over we took a L let’s get focused on the next opponent.

We will see how UNC plays this week.

What do we know about Mack Brown coached teams?

What about Mack Brown?
He’s won a national championship and has won the Big 12 south division 6 times. He will definitely try to outcoach Diaz, the rookie HC, in this game.

What’s his coaching staff like?
Offense:
QB/OC Phil Longo Air Raid Only been coaching at the FBS level since 2017. Prior to that He had recording breaking QB play and offenses at every single place he has been. Spent his first FBS seasons at Ole Miss where he produced two top 10 offenses in both seasons across various categories. ( Coached Shea Patterson and Jordan Ta’Amu)

TE: Tim Brewster (Coached Algee Crumpler, Bo Scaife, Antonio Gates, Tony Scheffler, Nick O’Leary, Jace Sterberger)

WR: Lonnie Galloway (Great Resume lots of receivers that he’s produced from Tavon Austin, Kevin White, Mario Alford, Jaylen Smith)

RB: Robert Gillipsie (Sent 10 Running Backs to the NFL)

OL: Stacy Searles (we know the deal here)

Defensive Coaches:
ILB/ Co DC: Tommy Thigpen (Coached: Kelvin Hayden, Tommy Richardson, Durell Mapp, Bruce Carter, Quan Sturdivant, Marc Paschall, Josh Bynes, Craig Stevens, Darren Bates, Neiko Thorpe, AJ Johnson, Jaleen Reeves-Maybin, Daniel Bituli, Quart’e Sapp, Cole Holcrumb)

OLB/ST Scott Boone: experience low but produced some decent LBs at Arizona

CB: Dre Bly: First Coaching Gig. Was an all-pro corner. Could end up like a Mike Rumph of UNC.


S/ Co-DC Jay Bateman: First Power 5 coaching job. But had been coaching for 22 years at smaller schools.

Thoughts on coaching staff.
I think Mack Brown had a healthy dose of veteran coaches and new coaches on his team. A lot of these guys have developed a great deal of talent over the years. Mack Browns record alone at Texas was great and his last few seasons can’t take away from this guys accomplishments. His winning percentage was over .8 after seasons at Texas.

I think he may turn UNC into a regular 8-9 win team who can pull upsets and the occasional 10 win season here and there but they won’t recruit the guys necessary to make UNC nationally relevant.

UNC Roster Thoughts

QB
No idea how Sam Howell will look. I’ll be watching that South Carolina Game closely.

RB
Michael Carter was gashing us last year for some runs. Antonio Williams as well. They’ve good two good ones here.

WR:
I don’t recall these guys making any plays last year.

OL: Was horrendous and probably UNC biggest weakness.

Entire Defense against us last season was garbage.

Game thoughts new year new teams for both squads. I don’t think Mack Browns unit has the players to hang with us just yet. However those RBs were extremely athletic

Miami forced 6-7 turnovers and scored on 3 of them. It’s hard to repeat that effort. I don’t think UNC could be worse but I’ll go with a 35-20 type of win if UNC keeps the turnovers down and settles for field goals. They were driving on our defense, which as of now was better last season. Turnovers did them in and killed momentum.

But give me 35-20 Miami for this game. Also we had defenders bouncing off of their players last year. After the Florida game they may get lucky that way again this year and probably get a easy score or two like the Toney score. But the defense holds them up the rest of the game.

We will beat UNC very easily. I know Mack is back at UNC, but Mack should've stayed gone.and UNC fans will feel the same after this year.

The only Mack is good at is looking the other way, he did A LOT of it at UT, and UNC still has a sharp eye on their program, so while Mack has to actually coach and focus on walking the line over there, his team is going to struggle
 
Their best LB is suspended for Miami and they have a former QB now playing. If we don’t win by 21pts or more I will be highly dissatisfied

This isn't about reading abilities, the post was phrased vaguely, talking about whether or not our boys will bounce back and handle UNC. No need to be a di©k about it.

This is about Miami making mediocre QB's look Heisman worthy like Wisky and Cuse, and so on. You were the only one who missed the whole point.
 
As long as we don't run more of those idiotic delayed safety blitzes that showed again vs UF then I'm happy. Roll in the second half 34-13
