The U administration, the ACC, the referees, the haters have won. They all wanted to see us take a step down and though too many of us fans hold onto hope to returning to the glory days, we are a middle of the road football program and are likely to stay there or worse.

All of this speculation on this board is fun but wasted energy. When somebody shows you who they are believe them!

The U administration is going to stick to its game plan and only make a move if Diaz does not get to the magic number of 6 (bowl eligibility=dollars)

We cannot win! And we all KNOW IT!! The U football program is and has been swimming upstream, not just this season but ever since the 2000 squad insisted on Larry Coker being their head coach and the administration (Shalala) going along with it.

It’s as if the entire program has been cursed!

It simply has too many obstacles to overcome: its own administration, incompetent position coaches and coordinators and head coach, the referees, the ACC, players lack of plain old football IQ, lack of football fundamentals and to some extent too many players distorted and over hyped assessment of their abilities.

And this aint some kind of Marxist, social equity, liberal conspiracy that is holding them back as few like to joke. It’s about equity all right, as in cold hard profit making. This is plain on capitalism at work. The UM administration is simply trying to get as much return as possible while investing as little as possible.

And it has worked. They have gone to a bowl every year except for three and two were self-imposed.

Add to this, the decision long ago to make sure the program does not embarrass the University, think Pata murder, FIU brawl.

Ironically their courting of mediocrity has succeeded. The U is a mediocre program. It has become a national joke, everybody is laughing at us, but the higher ups find this more acceptable: just win 6 baby!

The only hope at this point lies with the boosters and fans. And it lies with the student body. They have to insist that the folks in charge give their classmates competent leadership, instruction and good guidance, while educating them on the fundamentals and intricacies of the sport and preparing them and giving them the best chance to win every Saturday, or at least a fighting chance to be competitive on the field.

You think it is in the best interest of the ACC for Miami to suck in football?

Student body? You cannot even get the students to Watsco and the Towers are a 9-iron away.

It takes considerable effort to be this ignorant.
 
@AboutTheU05 exactly what was ignorant about what I said? The admin has been selling us out for nearly 20 years, the coaching has been incompetent, and the admin has continued to hire incompetent coaches, the players have lacked football IQ, they lack football fundamentals, the admin has a AD that hired Diaz without a search with the admin's blessing. And now they refuse to fire an obviously incompetent coach. How are my points ignorant?
 
@Pentagon Cane you wrote "You think it is in the best interest of the ACC for Miami to suck in football?" I agree it is not in the best interest of the ACC for the Canes to stink. But I was talking about the U administration. And clearly they had not thought it all out just as the ACC had not thought out the consequences of constantly allowing its refs to make bad call after bad call against us making it even more difficult to win alongside our already incompetent coaching.

@Angry Ibis you are right I did. Its the journalist and long windedness in me. My bad its just it has been pent up in me all this time to say something. I have been a fan of this program for 55 years so forgive me. I just thought I would call it as I see it. I didn't write so my old *** would be cussed out on the board I do have better things to do. But like the rest of yall I bleed orange and green and just wanted to add my two cents. Like I said we are done from what I can see, we are not coming back.
 
Our fans still *****ing about calls and refs and the acc holding us down when our own worst enemies are in the Hecht. These people are really just that bad at their jobs and no one holds them accountable And it goes all the way down to the players. And most schools lose money on their individual bowl games, the real money just comes from the pool that you get for being a part of the conference, so it doesn’t matter if we go to a bowl if money is your objective.

You blamed capitalism for corruption even though corruption has lasted centuries longer. You suggested that continuing to push a bad product in a free market will just make more for those who have rights on the product…..it’s not sustainable no matter what the picture looks like now. You state the premise of the decision making is to avoid embarrassment while the program continues to get…………embarrassed both on and off the field.

Either it changes or it erodes to inevitable death (i.e. irrelevance for good with no ability to brand or market for future investment to the University). You could have simply said that, and it would have made a concise point people understood.
