I never lost hope. I knew with the talent we have locally it was just a matter of the administration committing itself to the program and hiring a simply competent coach. When Goldilocks and No'D couldn't stop the same **** bubble screen against Maryland I knew something was up.
Fact of the matter is the city of Miami, the University of Miami, South Florida as a whole isn't for everybody, especially the arrogant northeast types who think they're smarter than everybody else in the state of Florida.
**** right the shackles are off….no more of that Pedophile State philosophy down here

But the way they played was different. And after what we’ve just been through, different is automatically better.

I think that is the better point to be made. We can't fault Al Golden and Randy Shannon for failing. Or even Larry Coker. We should fault the administration that hired them to begin with. THAT was the life eating cancer that was consuming the program, not bad coaching. What the **** did they expect hiring C grade coaching staffs would accomplish? Shalala leaves, new President comes in, Adidas throws a wad of cash at us, and we hire the best coaching staff we've seen in 20 years. Maybe 30.
This problem COULD HAVE BEEN SOLVED YEARS AGO. It all started when the administration caved to a bunch of players demanding Larry Coker be hired. It's why I got ticked off every time one of those players griped about Al Golden. Al Golden never happens if Larry Coker is never hired to begin with. It all started that fateful day when the players demanded a bad head coach be the head coach at the University of Miami. You don't let children do your grocery shopping, and you don't let players hire your next head coach. That was the end of UM football for over a decade, once Butch's players were gone. Not the stupid Maryland game. God, so much talk about a bad Maryland team beating a depleted UM roster. That single game is so insignificant compared to the players demanding Coker being hired. ****, UM lost to FAMU in 1979 under Schnellenberger, but it didn't mean the end of the world was near. The problem with the Maryland game wasn't that we lost. The problem was the program was in the crapper for many years before it happened.
For the first time in well over a decade I think we are free. Not just free from Al Golden. Al Golden wasn't the disease, but rather just a symptom. The real disease seems to have been purged. Finally.

I do not share the opinion that hiring Coker was the wrong move. Hiring Coker was absolutely the correct move. If they did not, several key players from the 2001 squad would likely have entered the draft. Moreoever, the proof's in the puddin' - Coker won the 2001 and 2002 national titles (we all know that's the truth re: 2002).
My belief was that donna's destruction of UM football began in 2004, when all of us paying attention saw that Coker was not the right man for the program going forward, yet he was extended into a contract that was so far beyond his market value that we were stuck with him until the FIU incident.

I agree. Hiring Coker was a necessary evil. Miami dropped the ball a few years after that. If Coker wasn't hired, 2001 would of never happened. I doubt Barry Alvarez would have had that influence.
