Romberg on Reed hire

Advertisement
Unlike all of the trolls here who want IMMEDIATE results and if not fire the entire staff. Trolls here forget we lost most of our games by less than 7 points and 3 of those was because we could not make a 20 yeard field goal. When you add in the last place Enos Offense and horrible QB play always putting the Defense in bad possisions, 10 wins is very different from 6 wins. Enos is gone, we now have a Heisman level QB with a coordinator that can put some points on the board. What would have happened if last year we scored 35 plus points a game, with minimal turnovers, poor field position, Borregales field goals from 40 plus? We would win every game except for Clemson. Wake up you FSU and FL loving Trolls.

We flat out sucked last year. You can also add that we almost lost to CMU. Fact is, none of the games we lost because we missed a kick or three were games that should have come down to a kick. Say we win 9 games last year because we made FGs. We'd STILL lose to FIU, LaTech, and Duke. WL record doesn't tell the whole story. How you win and lose tells a lot. We lost to bad to below average teams.
 
Reed will add value, for sure.

Glad that he's back to help the team out.

I think we'll definitely see some attrition from a few chaps who won't want to buy in to the culture that Manny will (hopefully) be trying to instill now.

i dont agree with one loss but agree with points overall. In a sick way it might have been better long term that we suffered so many bad losses last year because we have learned about the awful leadership and lack of work ethic. If this group won 9-10 games we might still have enos...no Ed...maybe stuck with jarren as well. And rock bottom would still be in front of us, whereas we can all hope that it is now officially behind us

not to mention if we had a reliable kicker we **** well would have FOUND other ways to lose. The team was a cancer and hopefully the recovery starts this month

I'd say some of the kicking problems stemmed from Diaz playing mind games with kickers. I get it, Baxa was in a funk. He was also 7-10 his freshman year, and could hit from 50 out. You try to get his mind right, because he has the most talent of any kicker on the roster. Also, when is someone going to teach Manny that it's a good idea to center the ball for your kickers if you know you're going to settle for a FG attempt? ESPECIALLY knowing your kickers are struggling.

As shaky as Baxa was, if he kicks all three FGs against GT, he makes one. By the way, who is our special teams coach? If he can't help our kicker get straight, maybe he shouldn't be a special teams coach. There's not much more important on special teams than making a FG. Our fix for missed FGs? Keep benching kickers instead of getting their heads right. I might be wrong, but I don't think that's the best idea.

Has it been discussed where Reed can go as COS. Does he have less, more or same limits than coaches? For instance is he limited with off season workouts time wise? Anyone know? Just curious.

GT was what game 6 or 7..if this was the NFL Baxxa would’ve been cut..no coach would put up with how bad he was

Great perspective Nate. It’s been said many times “Be careful what you ask for.” We asked for changes and there have been several that on paper, look pretty **** good. Time will tell if they bear fruit.
 
We lost 7 games.

Listing the reasons why we lost 7 games is an easy and pointless exercise. I’m not going to pretend like everything is fixed now.

So about as many games as our head coach would have made it in the NFL.

That has absolutely nothing to do with him benching baxa which was the right move..anyone who argues against that benching is talking in circles

Moral victories guys. We lost most of our games by less than 7 points!!!

So you’re saying ‘if we had scored 35 points a game, if we’d had fewer turnovers, if we’d had brtter field position, if we’d hit long field goals....’?

Are there any coaches other than Eddie O who can’t say the same sort of excuse shizzle?

Ended up being for the best IMO. Lets say we have a FG kicker that makes a couple more and we win 8 games. Would have been a 1 game improvement over Richts last season. Blake James would be crowing about the teams upward trajectory. You think Diaz makes wholesale changes after an 8 win season? We go into 2020 with JW as QB and Enos as OC.

I think its inarguable that Miami is much better off with King at QB and Lashlee at OC. It would not have happened if 2019 went any other way. Miami's chances of winning 10 games and the ACC coastal in 2020 are significantly better now than before.
