So.. I have friends that are very familiar with Alabama

Was watching a replay of the Clemson game from 15'...defensively, we were either more or as talented than those MF'ers across the board.

Offensively, I'd say it was a push.

Clemson basically smoked and mirrored us to death

Smoked and mirrored us to the tune of 58-0?

Back in the day there was a popular detergent called Wisk. Then it was bought out by a European company and it was replaced by the new owner's existing European detergent, called Persil.

That's why you never see Wisk on the store shelves anymore.

Suppose somebody did the same with Tide....

what would these people do?

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.

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.
Nothing worse than the give it time crowd. If a team twice as good as duke and etc can’t eek out a win then it’s poorly coarched. Nobody is asking Shanny to be Clemson in a year

Yet fans want to run off every new head coach after a few losses.

Five coaches over the past 14 seasons.

97-69 record from Coker's final season to Richt's final game.

7-9 record from Pittsburgh loss in 2017 through Wisconsin in 2018 bowl game.

Yet Manny HAD to get at least 10 wins this year (something Miami's done once since 2003) and win the Coastal (something Miami's done once in 15 tries)—losing the heart of his secondary, rolling out a weak-*** o-line, a brand new quarterback and and entirely new offensive staff—and he's getting Randy Shannon comparisons four games in. Got it. Totally reasonable post.

**** and I thought this was a post about my prediction that the FBI was turning up the heat invesitgating Bama, and Saban retires this year or next at the latest.

nail. on. head.
 
I’d agree if we were talking about a program that doesn’t recruit well. We might not recruit at Alabama’s level, but he equates that number to the team and players development. I didn’t say it should be how we recruit. I’m only saying this game should give us insight into where we are, more so than the previous four games. If we look the same, we probably won’t be a better team eight weeks from now. Hopefully we look a lot different and we see it this week. It’s not my number, it’s Saben’s. I say he knows more about team and player development than anyone posting on this board. It’s not about starting, it’s about the game and practice time necessary for it all to come together. This should be the week we take a big step forward, if there’s a step to be made... by his number.

when you pay for players, it's uncanny how much easier the eval/recruiting process gets.

the only bigger scumbag than saban is anyone who supports and condone his actions, and the any swill that whores himself out for some cash.

it's why certain swaths of human beings will always inhabit the gutter.

So you think that gutter is exclusively owned by Saben 🤔 to be more clear, you think your beloved Miami Hurricanes are as clean as the driven snow. I don’t like what he does, only because we don’t do it as well. Respectfully, we are bad at cheating and he is an all time great. There’s 132 D-1 gutters. Pick the one you like and cheer 🤫🥳

You might not like it, but I’m right. Just look around. He had to win, or he’d lose the fans quickly. Mullet did it at UF against much tougher competition with a horrific QB. Shanny could have done it here.

Guys like you have low standards and like to hand out trophies to everyone. You act like expecting a coach who has superior players to everyone in the Coastal to win the Coastal is some phenomenal task because you were born a loser.
 
That’s a novel approach. I bet no other coach has thought of that.
I was being smart. If I remember correct no where in the book did it mention question posted by the OP. The few chapters on recruiting were mainly about analytics and evaluating.
 
Recruiting and the coaches expectations of incoming freshman. Saben believes that week’s five and six will tell you everything you need to know about a freshman and his team overall. They recruit with the number one question on their list “can he start by week five” if that freshman has to. Well boys we’re here at home for week five. This week should be the real canary in the coal mine. If these 15 starting underclassman and this team looks great this week, it should bode* well for the rest of this season. If we look lost, I guess we’ll all start planning for 2020, because this season is a wrap. “According to the Nick Saben school of football prognosticating.”
So... Nick’s not so dumb hu?
