Did anyone notice Stacy Coley's body language was off? I didn't see any aggressiveness besides his last Kick return where it looked like he was trying. I saw this with a lot of the players on offense. Several players had a look a in their eye as either uninterested or somewhat timid. No Senior Leadership was present or ownership. Despite DP's performance, he's not an emotional leader and his look on the sidelines when asked to come out of the game said it all. Tracy Howard had the sane look.

Also, I just always found it odd on one of his training camp interviews that he didn't care about wearing a orange or white jersey. It really feels like the staff has lost the ability to motivate several of the players on the team. I always thought some of the comments from the players during training camp sounded unmotivated. Look at the players like Kirby, McCord and Howard pre-game responses to the Louisville lost last year.

Lastly, we still know dade county boyz still play with swag and confidence by watching Louisville players from dade. Why do our players play like they are afraid and timid in big games?

Players reflect their head coach. They have become soft well behaved students. Shannon started that and Golden has continued it. It's great we're not getting in trouble off the field, but the players aren't aggressive or allowed to shine on the field.
 
"Newton then relayed a story that when the lockout briefly lifted in 2011, Chudzinski brought Newton in for a meeting and gave him a sheet of paper laying out “the blueprint of success for Cam Newton.”

Newton said it’s something he still carries around with him in his wallet every day.

“He gave me the things that I had to do to one, gain the trust of my teammates, gain the trust of the people in the organization as well as the fans but most of all gain the trust of myself. I appreciate him for that,” Newton said."

Comments from Cam Newton. Chud has a one page plan for success; Golden has a 300 page book. I'm guessing Al's book is full of BS and Chud page can actually be done. There is no reason why Chud should not be our HC by the VT game.
 
After watching the U reloaded documentary the difference in body language and demeanor alone reflects us not having anyone with that "Dawg". That's goes to leadership within the team. Just look at the pride they took on practice and how physical they were. We come out of fall camp with smiley faces, dodge ball, and numerous off days bc we are scared of injury. Aggressiveness and focus starts in practice.

I'm just curious will the players on the team take it in their own hands and start playing with the swag that's in them by nature. These are Miami kids and we have our style and brand of football. You can just let the coaching staff dictate how this season is going to end. Players only meetings and recommendations to coaching staff need to be voiced.

But that is BS. Al has had tons of kids thrown out for bad behavior, even two for rape now. The only place his players don't cause trouble in on the field for other teams.

I'm a HUGE Stacy Coley fan and i was seeing that body language all night wondering the same thing. It was like he was so frustrated with the QB play that he was disinterested to be there. He was slouched and slowly jogging to his position at the line, barely making it set before snaps sometimes. He also wasn't running all his routes hard. It was disappointing to say the least. But to have a guy who seemed so involved last year to look like this in game 1 this year, it really makes you wonder. Maybe he really was hurt on that Kickoff and it bothered him all game....i don't know.

they are too robotic because of the coaches and it shows in their frustration
 
No emotional intensity on either side of the ball. Been like that for years.
