If the last 20 years has proven anything to our dopey fans it should be that we need better coaching to rise above the morass we’ve languished in forever. All this “just get better players” rhetoric is nonsense. We’ve had good enough players to dominate the Coastal, yet we’ve won it once.Given the recruiting landscape and where we’ve been, I’m convinced that the best way for us to get there is through highly competent coaching. Then either the recruits come or we put ourselves in a position to hire someone as a Phase II guy to get us to that next level.
Until we can get coaches who can build positive sustained momentum over the course of 4 or 5 straight years (regular 10 win seasons and Coastal titles), we will continue to be trash because the environment around the program is too fragile due to all the losing. Start a season like we have, and things go toxic immediately because fans are so used to spotting bullshyt coaching and underachieving.
We’re not going to sit back for 3 years and get kicked are by crappy teams while we hear “Shanny just needs time to fix the culture” or “Shanny just needs time to teach these kids how to win.”
Miami fans are filled to the brim with that **** and needed something more than what we’ve been given in order to really buy in. You can’t take a team loaded with 4 and 5 stars and go out there and nearly lose to a horrific cmu team full of sloppy trash. You just don’t have that luxury here given what’s transpired for so long with deficient coaching.
I said before the season that Shanny didn’t have the luxury of a ****** season. He had to come in and win 10 and the Coastal at the very least. Build momentum. HE didn’t have to go undefeated or beat Ufayg, but he had to improve the team dramatically from the garbage we saw last year.
What does he do? He hires all his buddies and a completely green defensive staff. Then he lets Enos hire all his loser MAC buddies. We hired a staff full of losers and washouts.
What did Shanny expect to happen when he’s taking a WR coach from Air Force whose been fired everywhere and his next step was out of football entirely? That was a theme not the exception with his hires.
