Lmao this dude just tried to discredit Coach L.
He went .500 the year after he lost 9/12 players from his team? Oh God no! You'd be throwing Golden a parade. Golden beat two .500 teams and you've got 24-hr security watching you to make sure you don't break into his house and suck his dlck. Golden can't even win the Coastal despite having the best recruiting classes out of every team in that division. You're a faqq0t for trying to discredit Coach L's accomplishments, plain and simple.
And lmfao at "depth issues" in his 4th season. What a great recruiter if so. Worst part, no team is shuffling in 22 guys on each unit. We've had ZERO major injuries. Depth is NO problem.
And LMMFAO him saying Duke staying healthy would have made Miami 12-1 last year. Bltch, he's healthy and having the best year of his life with a better QB and twice as good of a defense AND WE'RE 6-4!! Did your mama used to put you in the dryer?
How bout this: take all that bullshlt you posted, print it out, slather it up REAL nice, turn that sumbltch sideways, and STICK IT STRAIGHT UP YOUR CANDY ***!!!
We have 10 players remaining from the 2011 class. Of the 33 in the 2012 class, 18 remain. Of our 21 seniors, 8 are walk-ons. Where is the depth? Any depth we have right now is freshmen. Miami has not had depth since Coker's last couple of years. He didn't field deep teams. Shannon never fielded deep teams. Golden hasn't either, but is actually improving on it and next year will be the best yet and at the rate he is improving, we'll finally be matching just about anyone in the department.
And let's look at this year. I already stated we are 6-4. I also stated the evidence is as clear as day that the team is playing so much better now that the team that started the year off. Go back and look at the years under Shannon, or even Coker's last couple years when they were actually his teams. Or even Golden's previous years here. We never dominated anyone that wasn't a Florida A&M. After going through some growing pains to start the year, the team showed notable signs of growth everywhere and we slaughtered 3 straight FBS teams. No matter how average they are, that is not something we've done in over 10 years. We also stuck right there with the best team in the nation(and a team with a pulse which you all like to say) and were a few fumbles, missed throws, and dropped TD passes away from beating. One or two plays go our way instead and we are sitting here praising Golden and the team.
We went from struggling to win consistently against average teams and getting run off the field against good teams to dominating average teams and competing the with elite. There is obvious growth. A big part of that is Kaaya and the defense playing smarter and following assignments. Go back and watch the Nebraska game. The defense played out of their minds in the worst way possible. The defense either did not understand the scheme or forgot how to play football. We never recorded a TFL despite having a number of plays where we hit Abdullah in the backfield. That We had plenty of guys freelance and not play to their assignment. The coaches also were average that game. They didn't match personnel at all times and had some questionable alignments at times. Kaaya also thought you won on the road by throwing 2 interceptions and Duke though it was okay to fumble the ball and have it be taken back for 7 when we were in the middle of a drive in their territory about to take the lead.
I am not excusing the coaches of their mistakes because they have made plenty. The players have too though. In all of the losses Kaaya did not play sound football all game. Against GT he turned it over twice in the redzone, against UL he looked like a true freshman when given chances. Against Nebraska he threw 2 costly picks. Against FSU he forgot that you play 2 halves and was missing guys left and right all 2nd half. The defense forgot their assignments and how to tackle in the Nebraska and GT losses. The players made plenty of mistakes that cost them the FSU game. The coaches had them in position to succeed a number of times, but Berrios dropped a TD that could have really put the pressure on. Dobard and Walford forgot you have to hold onto the ball. Kaaya though he would start being inaccurate in the 2nd half. The defense though all you had to do was make tackle attempts at the LOS, not finish the tackle off. Face it, there were plenty of times Cook was hit behind or right at the LOS and was able to get 6+ yards. The scheme was set up to where we had the chance to shut down the runs over and over, guys like McCord didn't execute and make tackles. The coaches can only do so much.
Anyways, you all probably won't read this either. The fact is the team is playing better than they have in a long time, it's very clear, and it's been long enough and consistent enough to not be a fluke. If this is what is the new standard under Golden, then the future is a lot brighter than what it was when we fell to 3-3.
