... shut it down, boys. We will never be 'back'

Today's game is a totally different animal and we simply don't have (and never will have) the infrastructure to be dominant again. How do we compete with Clemson, Alabama, LSU, Ohio State, OU, Washington, Auburn, UGA, Michigan, Texas, Florida, Penn State, etc. They are ALL state schools with tremendous facilities and administrations that value football.

The ONLY competitive advantage is our location. Its not the 80s/90s where we blazed teams with speed... What Butch did will NEVER be replicated. It was an anomaly. In fact it hasn't happened since... anywhere. Our legacy is old/dated... today's kids didn't watch Miami dominate and don't envy Miami. (kids BORN in 2001 are in college)

Time to accept the fact, we are who we've been and will continue to be, since 2006. Its not a coincidence or bad luck. Today's game has passed us by and we will NOT catch up.

I think most people understand that what we did under Butch will never be replicated. I don’t know how others feels but I just want to be a perennial top 15-20 team with a shot at the playoffs every 3-4 years. That is very doable with a competent coaching staff.
What we have now is far from that.

You know the older you get (I’m 39) the more I start realizing how difficult it really is for a school like Miami to be successful especially with leadership that isn’t 100% committed. Disadvantages with Alumni Money, Money to spend on football team, now with recruiting being so much more accessible. It’s rather depressing
 
Well ****....they could start with not hiring bumbling idiots like the Intern. At least give some indication that you care about the program. Since they don't, fans need to stop lining their collective pockets with any amount of money.....it may not mean much, but squeeze those ***** till they choke and die.

It’s possible but highly unlikely we will ever be back but the hope is what keeps us all here. The recruiting sites kind of F us because everyone can identify talent better and poach the best of it in our backyard.

What the **** has UGA, Washington, Michigan, Penn State won?. We just lost to uF by less than a score this year.

The only teams legitimately above is Bama, Clemson, OU, Ohio State. We are on par on the rest when we are clicking
 
LISTEN UP. We dont need bama money to compete.

If miami starts being ranked in the top 25 EVERY year with a exciting offense and solid defense then recruiting will take care of itself. These kids dont want to lose. Plain and simple.


The thing Miami is missing is a good coach that can get us to that point.


Miami has 1 built in advantage! Location!!!!! Will we get every south Florida stud?? NOPE. but if a coach starts winning then more of them stay home.


Its not rocket science.

Your point isn't wrong...but it is shortsighted. It's a common logical trap. Humans are able to understand that the present is different than the past, but for some reason also assume that the future will be the same as the present. It's inconsistent.

Today's college football does not favor Miami, no. But tomorrow's college football will be different. How? I have no clue, but it will be different. It might or might not benefit Miami. Who knows?

Maybe when players are compensated for their own likeness Miami will be able to compete again, because of how much larger the South Florida market is than the small college towns where these kids play? I don't know.

But you can't assume that the current state of the game is the permanent state of the game.
