The # 1 Problem with UM football from 2003 to present

[Dhatguy]

The real problem is coaching/administration (who we’ve hired and those who hired them). Its 2019 and people are still opposed to spread when **** near everyone but a few are running it. Smh either get with the times and properly utilize your resources or be left behind and that’s exactly what has happened.

Do you want to run the spread that ignores the OL and goes 8-4 every year, or do you want to run spread where the OL still has to block people and wins titles? Or do you just want to "run the spread" as though it's 1990 and we all think the spread is one kind of offense?

Bad Administration which leads to bad coaches. College football becoming all about $$$ didnt help wither since Miami is a small private school while state schools like alabama, LSU get to spend half the state budget on their programs

The biggest problem is that none of our coaches from 2003-2018 are currently employed as head coaches.

The only one who even got another head coaching job was Coker at UTSA. And he had a title on his resume.

I don’t think anyone is saying to ignore the OL. Work with what you got and make the best of it. Miami hasn’t done that. Miami should be spread like Memphis/Urban Meyer offense.

Let's be totally honest guys.... the reason Miami is not like Bama, Clemson, yada..... IS SIMPLY.....

The only way to climb back into the Top 10 is and be competitive is to compete here....

It's how college football operates now-- the sooner the Universities stop the bullsh*t pretend game of "amateur college athletics...." the sooner we change the system. Everyone including the NCAA knows it's all about money....

They ain't making Coaches millionaires for no reason.... It's about how many hundreds of millions$$ football makes for the schools...

College football is a moneymaking sham

Everyone is making millions — except the players.

We do need to go all in O-Line Recruits, that statement is a big part of the problem here.

With that being said we still should adjust more on offense in order to Win Games Now, Plain and Simple!!!!!!

Until we have the guys who are good enough and strong enough to run a Power Pro Set Offense!!!

Look up his T.Tech record and coaches from his tree. I'll wait...

Number one problem during that period is that I had to watch it.

Miami is known to be a hot-bed of skilled players. 5 Star, skilled athletes at nearly every school in Dade/Broward county. Positions like WR, FS, RB, etc. Teams like Alabama, Ohio State, Clemson come to south Florida and cherry pick our athletes but Miami can match big schools recruiting athletes like Pope, Lingard, Thomas, etc. Recruiting classes are always top 10// top 20. However, the fundamental problem with Miami since 2003 is more than just our coordinators, or play-calling or our coaching.

What do Ohio State, Clemson, OU and Alabama have in common.. year after year. Their QBs change, their RBs change... yet they still dominate. Why?

The # 1 problem with UM football is we do not prioritize our OL. South Florida is deep with speed and skill but not deep with big uglies. Top schools always dominate the line of scrimmage. So we can go on about our talent and recruiting classes, our QB play but we're not landing top OL and DL.

When was the last time we had a dominate OL and DL? I'd say it was 2000, 2001. We continually target these athletes yet Wisconsin dominates us twice... with nowhere near the athletes. We have more 'skill' and more 'athletes' then every team we play.. yet we lose. Why? Because our we're not prioritizing the OL. This year is just another example of misguided recruiting.

I don’t think they aren’t prioritizing them, they just not getting them

All major cfb programs know it’s all about the trentches and they do whatever it is to get the kids to sign

We need to actually start landing these targets and once we do coach them up

Also if your oline is not very good you must make a game plan to mitigate this weakness, not compound it like Enos is doing

It blows my mind that an oc making millions doesn’t grasp that simple concept

For example when we had dno we *****d and moaned we had no dline talent and then manny comes in and switches the defense into something that suits the players an immediately the dline is one of our stronger units

U cannot always expect to have the best players but you must expect coordinators to game plan to maximize the strengths that they have

That is what is lacking and that is the problem

Hit the Juco route like Butch/Kehoe did in ref to TEs and OLM...

Would not be surprised at all to see half of this team, especially the younger players, especially JW, transfer immediately after this season. Why play for coaches so incompetent that they ruin your development, get you injured, and know so little about the best way to use your talents to forge a winning program. You all saw how Cager looked playing for UGA last weekend. Don't think for one minute our kids didn't notice this. It's my feeling also that McCloud is portal-bound eventually. This program is a train wreck. It's pure amateur hour.

If I'm not mistaken, Ken Dorsey was sacked THREE times in 2001. Holy **** how do you lose being a statue and taking three sacks.

Part of the reason Dorsey was sacked so few times is that he made quick decisions and got rid of the ball. He did not sit there like a statue waiting for the pass rush to get to him (Jarren).
That said, having McKinney protecting your blind side did give Dorsey the kind of security we don't have today.

And people wonder why some of us would have been fine with Barry Alvarez.

That would have been a Hindenburg level disaster. Not that we haven't seen it 3-4 times anyway, but that would have been bad.

where are the championships? MMMM? I don't see any except for OU and Riley took over an already successful program under bob stoods

... and when was the last time before that; 1991.

For a slew of reasons, Miami has never been a hotbed for offensive line talent, outside of the occasional group here or there.

Arthur Francis Kehoe—loved by many for his passion and dedication—was never a great recruiter of top-flight talent. He's recruit scrappy, undersized guys like him, which would eventually land you a KC Jones or Brett Romberg, but there were also a lot more Zev Lumelski types instead of those gems.

Why and how Miami can't go into Big Ten country and entice a lot of these hosses to come south and get on board with the sunshine, laid back vibe and hot girls—no clue.


All that to say, offensive line is the tip of the sh*t iceberg here.
