Season is officially over

Nah I would pin this. The season is already over. It’s true. Let’s move on to the off-season early.

Coastal is out of play. NC must lose 3 for us to have a shot. Don’t see it happening.

That was the one we couldn’t lose.

North Carolina would have to lose two, not three—and the still have Pitt, Wake Forest and North Carolina State.

Either way, Miami has one the Coastal once since 2005 and is 0-for-18 in the ACC since joining in 2004—but the season is somehow "over" because the Canes arguably won't win the division year one under Cristobal.

You really expected to just waltz into the ACC this year and take the Coastal after failing to do so 16 of the past 17 times? A program that went 7-5 last year, 21-15 under Diaz, 28-24 after Richt's 10-0 start in 2017 and is 118-86 since the 2005 Peach Bowl, which averages out to 7-5 every year for the past 16 seasons?

Just because a brand new coach and staff are hired, a program that's SUCKED BALLS for the better part of two decades—all those problems get fixed overnight?

And just like that, it's over... 8 months of hype.

Yup, hype that fans had no reason to have in the short-term.

Wrote it above, but again, you really expected to just waltz into the ACC this year and take the Coastal after failing to do so 16 of the past 17 times? A program that went 7-5 last year, 21-15 under Diaz, 28-24 after Richt's 10-0 start in 2017 and is 118-86 since the 2005 Peach Bowl, which averages out to 7-5 every year for the past 16 seasons?

The "hype" was Miami finally hiring a real coaching staff and BUILDING something authentic in the coming years.

Anything good that happened this year was a bonus, but this has been a dog of a program for two decades. It was never getting fixed overnight—and anyone who thought it would, that's on you.

Top to bottom the acc coastal is horrible. That was well known before the season. It's the reason that virtually every football expert and analyst predicted UM would win the coastal. You are really moving the goal posts to try and defend the utter failure of the staff. The 2nd highest paid coach in the acc with one of the highest paid staffs should have smoked the division. If you are minimizing Cristobals failure by pointing out that UM coaches have a long history of failure, well that's certainly an interesting defense.

In terms of an overnight fix - only the most oblivious or Cristoballs-hugging fan would deny that Lane Kiffin would be, at worst, 4-1 right now. I am not going to repost what I wrote 3 years ago about Cristobal, but suffice to say I expected he would be a disappointment and hence I wanted an innovator as HC instead. It's not surprising to me that Cristobal isn't a good coach, but it is surprising that he is such an unbelievably poor coach that he wouldn't be able to win a home game against Middle Tennessee State.

It took Gattis 5 games to adapt his offense to what TVD does well and the result was one of the most prolific passing days in UM history. Of course, when the ball was in then red zone, Gattis went back to caveman football and UM blew scoring opportunity after scoring opportunity. The staff can't get out of its own way. Sure, you can blame Rooster for a fumble, but if UM doesn't get skunked by a terrible D at the 1 yard line for 4 plays in a row, that fumble isn't a backbreaker.

Unfortunately, I think you're right. We lost to Middle Tennessee. No game left on the schedule is a sure win. The goal now should be trying to get to six wins. This team is abysmal. It's sad.

We don’t play bowl games anyway. At least half the team won’t.
 
I don’t want to hear the same **** next year where the usual nutwaggers say we are going 11-1 or 10-2 and this team is looking really good during fall camp. All the usual bull**** we see on here to just go 7-5.

2 is a tie? No ? And we lose that tiebreaker.

Without the off season we got nothing. As soon as the season starts my dreams are crushed faster than the beer cans I open
 
We need to focus on being a fundamentally sound football team.

That's it.

Until we can run, pass, catch, tackle and defend passes with consistency and heart we should not even think about winning our division.

Just this man's opinion.

It’s like you wrote this after we came within 1 loss of winning the coastal lmao.

We had a train run on us by MTSU and have won only two games so far this year. The only one we even looked remotely competent in was ****** Bethune.

Yes, I expect a staff this expensive and accomplished on paper to “fix overnight” enough to not lose to the MTSUs of the world and look respectable on the field against everyone else.
