The # 1 Problem with UM football from 2003 to present

DMoney said:
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.

Exactly it’s not the players or lack of players it’s the lack of coaches

No, evaluate 4 quality linemen and get them to sign every year.

That means you need to hit all the time.... seems to be like the QB-- hard to evaluate... Over sign... bound to hit a few.. Only need 5 out of 20

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.

It wouldn't have been anywhere near as bad as the last 17 years. Alvarez was a proven coach, and did a good job as AD as well. Meanwhile, look at what we have been since then.

This. This is the reason.

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.

our dl is not the problem. Our ol and our qb's inability to release the ball quickly is the issue. Oh and of course countless PA's and penalties

Right. Cause winning games doesn't mean anything. You must want JJ, Butch or Howard to come back? Get real.

"You must want........."

The logic is so bad around here. I didn't say what I want. I just don't want a guy who doesn't win titles. He's a 4 loss coach.

It's scheme and coaching. We need an Air Raid or Spread OC. These guys consistently take 3 star OL or less and set records. Here's just two examples (of many) on the current WSU roster. There were a couple guys who didn't have stars. Unreal. You can only imagine what they'd do with SoFL athletes. And I've been saying this **** since Leach begged for the job.

Mason Miller enters his second season on Coach Leach’s coaching staff as the offensive line coach. Miller arrived in Pullman after serving one year as Nevada’s

Leach would have killed it here but oh well. Next hire has got to be a OFFENSIVELY minded hc. No more defensive guys like Manny, Golden and Shannon

Sigh. No one is asking for "incredible" or "great". Just don't turn us into a program that doesn't believe we can get an OL good enough to avoid playing gimmick football.

What's "gimmick football"? A modern, spread style system that pretty much every good team uses today? That's all I'm asking for.

Gimmick football is what teams do when they don't have an offensive line or a defense. See Washington State, Oklahoma State, etc.

1. Elite speed
2. Elite skill guys
3. Poor OL play

Hmmmm. I know! Let's throw a fullback and tight end on the line and pretend we're Wisconsin.

Coaching is also the problem. We've done nothing to mask our deficiencies or highlight our strengths on offense.
