This guy needs to resign. Our DBs have zero interceptions through 12 quarters if I'm not mistaken. I understand that some of it is related to the scheme but I am very disappointed in Howard and Burns. Those guys could have gone anywhere but they've done NOTHING!! NOTHING!!! THEY'VE DONE NOTHING!!!

He will not be going anywhere. I may be mistaken, but I do not believe Al has EVER fired anyone, either at Temple or Miami.
 
My only concern is about the lack of development of Deon Bush. I know he is an all world talent but at times he plays slow, confused and passive. Same can be said for Tracey Howard. I'm pretty sure both players have not reached their talent ceiling so lack of player development has to be looked at.
 
Our db's never turn to find the ball in the air that's not scheme that's coaching PERIOD. All of our db's are broken that's on the position coach.
 
What I saw yesterday from the corners was downright terrible. I thought I was watching a Sun Belt conference game!!

Fans can be critical and over analyze everything. We asked for more man coverage and that is what we have been playing a lot lately. When you play man it is understood that plays will be given up. Out of 80 plus snaps you can only point out a few plays. If you want the defense to play aggressive, don't whine about the hand full of plays they may give up.

Bush doesn't look like the same player that we saw 2 years ago, and I'm not talking about explosion/speed. His angles and open field tackling are brutal, not a quality you want in your safeties. Burns continues to look more like a gifted athlete than a football player, I'm losing some of the excitement I had for him. I'm not sure if it's scheme or mentality or what but a lot of these guys just don't look like natural football players. Corn Elder is a guy who looks comfortable around the ball making football plays when he gets a chance, I'd like to see more of him. Some of this is undoubtedly a sign of how well players are being coached, but some of this stuff is instinctual/natural.

That's the **** I don't get..... We never turn the **** around.... We look helpless out there. No ballhawks at all
 
These kids are horribly coached. Not one of them has a lick of technique in man coverage.

What's sad is you already have ***s on here implying that they are all just busts.
 
Yeah, Miami's corner's might play bigger if Paul Williams was a bit bigger:

After watching Vernon Hargraves last night. Our corners are not even close to being good. They get beat,don't look for the ball, and worst of all they miss open field tackles. They all around not good DBs. I'm talking about Howard,Burns,and Bush. Crawford has played really good, Corn will get more playing time. Gunter has look good at times. Jamal Carter has improved. he just needs to break down. Dallas hasn't disappointed.

Bush is an NFL safety and will be all pro in the NFL. We just don't use his athletic ability. Bush is an extremely aggressive safety and very athletic. UM needs to let him play more aggressive instead of sitting back so deep.

Bush has to run over 20 yards to try and make a play on a screen pass. Bush arrives in a blur. The problem is that our scheme forces him to be at a disadvantage requiring him to cover so much ground.

I'm sure the scheme doesn't help, but sometimes he gets there and doesn't look natural making the play at all. I don't question his athleticism, he's definitely gifted there.
