Yes, last night was disappointing and unfortunate. Yes, the current roster of wide receivers can’t catch a football even if their life depended on it. Yes, Tyler van Dykes season so far has been disappointing.

But some of the reactions in this forum are outright embarrassing. Some of you have decided to already quit on the coaching staff. This is after three games and one loss to a quality opponent at their house. Why don’t you go take a look at Georgia and how they did in year one of the Kirby Smart experience. Why don’t you go take a look at other top-tier programs and how they did in euro one of the new head coach hire.

I think that some of the quitters in this forum must be teenagers because you’re acting like a pack of *******. Weak ******* at that. It’s embarrassing.

That’s it. Hate me for this but it’s the truth.

We have a terrific coaching staff that our head coach has put together, and we’re currently missing key pieces to be able to compete with top-tier programs. You can’t just sprinkle some magical pixie dust on the wide receiving core and expect miracles.

We have an enormous amount of money that has begun to trickle into this program, we have a new athletic Director that we post from one of the best programs in America, we have new facilities coming, we have a kick *** NiL program. And that is all because of Mario Cristobal.

And the fact that some of you already quit on him, **** me. Weakest sauce I have honestly ever seen.

My God. Am I the only one that experienced the Larry Coker era? Am I the only one that experienced the Randy Shannon area? Am I the only one that experienced the Al Golden era? Am I the only one that experienced the heavy penalties against us during the Butch Davis era?

Embarrassing.

Peace.

It’s not that we lost, it’s HOW we lost. Numerous self inflicted wounds. Questionable and often very conservative play calling in the RZ. Burning timeouts. Bad clock management. None of that spells a well coached team. I’m certainly not giving up on this staff, but people have a right to be frustrated. We didn’t lose because A&M is the better team. We beat ourselves.
 
Everybody said this was a loss before season, I think there was 100% consensus that ATM and clemson would be loss.. I think ATM is overrated and season will play out but it was a loss and clemson that we kinda could expect. To me on rest of schedule should be W to show true growth and improvement.

I think biggest issue is people got a lil taste of hurry up spread and our QB looked like future pro and now we are slow tempo milking clock down by 2 scores still milking clock offense and our stud qb looks confused, tentative or whatever but definitely looks like he took a step back.. That will be an issue, especially with prior murmurs of Mario neutering NFL QBs, that is not a good look no matter how much koolaid juice you drink.. TVD needs to get it together or you need to bring in rpo or find something to get him comfortable.
 
It's really sad. I assume most posters on here are male, but they have emotional swings like women.
Most are here after 20 years of mediocrity on a team message board, good percentage go to games, travel, still stick to and follow team.. These are the FANATICS (a person with an obsessive interest in and enthusiasm for something, especially an activity) of the team.. what do you guys expect? Really..

Some valid points. Special teams cost us the game last night. We spotted them a td. That was a winnable game against a team that is not as good as advertised. We played too conservative and I think that prevented Van Dyke from finding a rhythm with his receivers. We should have tested that secondary after the two targeting ejections. I also think that after that muffed point, that game would have gotten away from us. One bad play over the last 15 years and we end up getting blown out. This team is certainly learning to fight through adversity, but they can't be handcuffed either. Let your qb and receivers make plays too.

Exactly. It’s a similar ending we’ve been living for years just different storyline. Like a choose your ******* adventure book. They didn’t beat us.

That doesn’t mean I’m flying a banner. I dont care if it’s game 3 or game 33, this staff and team aren’t infallible or above criticism.

We absolutely beat ourselves. Absolutely. The Stevenson turnover murdered us. The wide receiving corps was atrocious. Tyler is not sharp. Gattis needs to do a better job. Not going for it to n 4th down was a “WHAT?!” moment.

But there were a lot of positives in that game. And knowing what’s happening behind the scenes and all the progress at the programs making with everything else, I’m going to stay positive and not quit on the coaching staff. And that’s what I am arguing here. But some people have already quit on the coaching staff. And that’s just outright embarrassing.

To be fair, we did take some shots downfield. None of them worked. I still don’t understand why we don’t target arroyo more often.

Agree. Stay calm. Take the long view. It’s better for our mental health.

That will be an issue, especially with prior murmurs of Mario neutering NFL QBs, that is not a good look no matter how much koolaid juice you drink..

This is the entire reason people are upset. We have been stuck in the Stone Age when it comes to offense, we FINALLY saw glimmers of hope last year (with a putrid offensive line, no less).

Mario comes in, has a fantastic line background, and it seems to be a match made in heaven. Have him focus on the lines, protect our QB, open up holes for our RB, but keep that sweet tempo and spread attack that is so hard to stop.

But no. We decide to revert right back to the ground game/short passes, TOP control offense and it’s downright worthless. Why? This is Miami, not Nebraska…

I said it last December; the minute Miami loses at Texas A&M, the love affair with the Mario hire and big money moves goes right out the window—this place will immediately go back to the miserable bunch of entitled fans Miami has become (after 15 years of incompetence.) These are the same people that paid to fly a banner to fire Butch in 1997—yet sucked him off in 2000 and were devastated when he left.

Aside from Davis needing time to endure probation, he also had to figure out the defensive side of the ball—finally firing Bill Miller after the 1998 season (year four, after giving up a boat load of yards and points to Syracuse and UCLA) before finally bringing in Greg Schiano.

This ain't Mario's team and won't be for a few more years and classes. ****, look at Norvell and FSU—finally getting some footing year three after looking like an abortion his first two years.

Team passed the eye test last night and looked more mature and ready than any Diaz-led teams during that 21-15 run.

Let's see where Miami is at come December; hopefully playing an ACC title game against Clemson or North Carolina State—this game far in the rearview.

Five years of the big money Jimbo era out there; two games into the Mario era at Miami. This was always a loss on paper, with the hopes the Canes could play well enough to steal one. Spoiler alert; they didn't.

This is our fanbase having unrealistic expectations.

If AtM beat App St, people would be saying we outplayed the #6 team and lost.

Same go for the polls. We likely only move a couple of spots, but I could care less because we're not at championship level so it doesn't matter.

We can still win the Coastal and even the ACC. I don't see Clemson as any better than AtM. Maybe slightly better. AtM is a good team. The narrative changed when they lost to App St likely overlooking them for us.

Our team moved the ball on a very good defense and shut down their offense most of the game. They had 17 points and 7 of that was off a turnover where we just forced a punt.

The special teams and redzone offense is why we lost the game. If we scored 2 TDs and don't have a field goal blocked, it's a 20-10 or 20-17 Miami win. Then the narrative is completely different.

We had 2 redzone penalties that forced field goals along with a wide open drop by Parrish that at minimum is 1st down and he likely scores.

That's how close winning and losing is despite our ineffective passing game.

Fans needs to chill. This is a much improved team from last year and even the previous week.
This is year one for Mario. We outplayed AtM. They scored more points.

At the beginning of the season, this was one of the games we expected to lose to go 10-2 which is a lofty goal. I still believe we can get there.

I'm impressed with what Mirabal and Mario have done with the offensive line and what Steele + assistants have done with the defense.

Gattis needs to devise better passing plays that fit TVD and the WR roster that we have. As much as we think we don’t have at WR, other teams in our league have less and make it work. It's on Gattis to figure it out.

If we can get the passing game going we can win the Coastal and the ACC. Winning the Coastal was my year 1 goal for Mario, but I think they can compete with Clemson.

Again, fans needs to chill. One game doesn't make or break the season.
 
This fanbase is toxic, and that's never going to change. As I've grown older, I've come to the conclusion that a lot of our fans actively root for failure, because they get off on being miserable. I'm convinced that there's a loud minority in our fanbase that actually doesn't like the University, but for some reason invests time into it, because they don't have anything better to do. I can't figure out how someone can watch last night's game, and not notice the difference from the previous staff, not only in regards to the gameplan but how the team looked as an organization. We didn't have the consistent greasefire moments that we had throughout the Diaz tenure. We didn't look unprepared, we had a plan and stuck to it. There were some mental errors, but compared to previous years, there were significantly fewer.

Is there work to be done? YES. Should fans be already asking for the heads of the staff? NO.

I hear what you are saying and i think it has alot to do with miami being a private school with alumni who leave right after graduating. They depend on city to help fill that have no connection, its basically barry/st thomas combined with a football team that says miami across its chest.. they are treated as second pro team basically..

Anyways highlighted they stuck to plan, that might have been part of problem as they were milking clock deep in 4th qtr down 2 scores, HURRY UP!!! lol

It murdered us....so let's put his *** out there again...smfh
