Searles

Rarely does it workout in your favor when you have to have underclassmen, especially freshman, starting on the O line or D line. Unless they are an absolute stud coming in they need the conditioning program to add strength and time to hone their technique.

It speaks volume on not just the recruiting failures but also development. We don't have at least one upperclassmen that can beat out a true freshman that wasn't highly regarded coming out of high school? It's a combination to have a successful team; recruiting, strength and conditioning, technique, scheme, and probably most important is player motivation.

The OL problems of Miami for the past since forever are not because of coaching for on field performance.

The OL problems of Miami are for clear failures in recruiting and retaining the right personnel.

Obviously the latter is part of "coaching" these days, but its a failure of the find-them-get-them aspect, not instruction.

Kehoe always tried to recruit scrappy, undersized guys like him. Unfortunately most don't turn out like K.C. Jones or Brett Romberg and you wind up with a lot more duds that don't have heart.

Never understand why Miami can't go into the Midwest and lure away some future Big Ten studs that would enjoy getting out of the snow for some fun, sun and girls in bikinis. Shouldn't be that hard of a sales pitch.

So IF...

UNC's OL outplays Miami's OL...

What will the excuses be then???

1. Searles poor recruiting put us in this position, doesn't matter who the coach is for us.
2. UNC Oline has a a RS Senior and Grad transfer on the line that are covering up for searles poor coaching.
3. give credit to mack brown for quick one read 2 second throws where the oline could basically lay down and the pass would still be thrown.

One of those three would be my guess....

But I will say after watching UNC they highlighted how quick the QB was getting the ball out (approx. 2 seconds) but it was all one read or 50/50 balls... UNC converted on a lotttt of the 50/50 throws. I also think our dline gets back to what they are used to doing. With Franks, his biggest threat is running the ball, you want him to beat you with his arm, we had guys spying and containing the pocket all night (which was a great defensive strategy) as oppose to attacking, this true freshman is about to get attacked.

Amen, and there is no bigger shame then existing in arguably the most fertile skill player recruiting ground in the Country...and being completely handcuffed when trying to put a great OL product on the field to get them the ******* ball.

UM
 
If you look at the offers Barry sent out initially most of them were Midwest boys, the type of lineman we need but most showed little to no interest minus Carmody from Pennsylvania. Searles wasn't very good, especially as a recruiter, but CMR scheme and our subpar strength staff did him zero favors. We gotta keep searching nationwide for our o lineman and develop them better than we have to give ourselves any chance vs the elite schools going forward.

Shouldn't be that hard should it.

Because the problem wasnt searles. It was the scheme he was forced to run... his line at unc already looks better than here.

LMFAO

Look at our tackle depth now and say the problem wasn’t searels.

I pray you’re trolling.

I agree 1 billion percent. However you do also need to realize it's the head coaches choice how he sets the recruiting blue print. For example where we choose to focus on. Art had more success prior to alfraud because he was a **** of a coach and he had a guy up top who understood our landscape. Certain position should be focused on elsewhere. That's just a fact. You might get a good ol out of our landscape once in a blue but is a rarity. We used to look all across the country and Canada. Texas and the midwest was common for us. Now uh nah.
 
Whether he was pressured or otherwise, he was rolling those different O-line combinations like dice, from Spring right through the season, but could only come up with snake-eyes, and slow on making game-time adjustments.

Judging by the comments Diaz has made, he didn't like the way Searles coached his group.

Also he couldn't recruit an OT if his life depended on it.

Some people choose not to accept reality. I'm not gonna say ur not with it here but question for u... Say at ur job you have a boss that wants great results done his way at all times. He tells you what to wear and what to say. You dont think that hampers you? Here's reality Searles is a big *** corn fed white boy being told all hes allowed to recruit is mainly consistent of these undersized entitled ****eating city kids as offensive lineman. These kids are from areas where people like him are (to put it very nicely)considered Klan members or just laughed at for how that slow *** country mentality comes off. Who do you think (that's a good prospect who everyone around the country comes to see) is gonna take searles as serious as someone they can relate to? Guess well see how he does at unc and u can make ur own choice.

I mean, we hired a WR coach from a team that doesn’t throw the football because Enos coached with him previously at CMU. It’s all about who you know.
