I want to give my perspective as far as the state of this current team. First off, lets start with the defense. I want to remind a lot of fans on here where this team was a year ago in 2012. It was full of freshmen and sophomores in the two deep, which was one of the worst defenses in school history. There was going to be some improvement but there was not going to be a quantum leap in improvement. Look at our front seven right now. There is not a single player in the front seven who would go in the first round of the NFL Draft, ****, not even in the second round.
Perryman is a pretty good LB, but in my eyes I see 3rd round. Look at players like Shayon Green, Jimmy Gaines and Cornilius, they actually START for Miami and would be on the scout team at FSU or Bama. The rest of the front seven, except for maybe Chick, MIGHT BE second team guys for FSU/BAMA, and I might be reaching. Now you do have some young elite talent like AQM, McCord, Fig and maybe even Grace and Kirby, but they are still young, growing and learning. Look at it this way. I bet every last poster on here would trade our DT's for VT's DT's.
We don't have a disruptive front four or a group of LB's that impose their will. We just do not have the personnel and Golden needs time to get his guys in here. Look at it another way. I will bet the house that if you put D'Nofrio as FSU's DCoordinator right now, he will have the same success as Pruitt is having right now, you know why? Because he has the right nucleus of talent, speed, experience, leadership and depth that Miami just doesn't have right have right now. I would bet on the other hand that Pruitt would look exactly like D'Nofrio is right now because he wouldn't have all the components to make his scheme work.
I haven't even begun to talk about the secondary. I know I'm preaching to the choir, but there is no way in **** Highsmith has any business starting for this program. He has not made a single play all f*****g year while giving them up all year. This is what attrition and the NCAA mess has done to this program up to this point. It caused us to miss out on key guys the past two recruiting cycles and left us with the worst situation at free safety and the front seven in probably 16 years. In all I would say D'Nofrio, because he doesn't have the horses yet, deserves a little more time.
As far as the offense, I think Coley has been somewhat limited. He has to work with a QB in Morris who he had to simplify things down to two reads everytime he throws the ball. Over the past two years, Morris has been able to mask his inability to throw intermediate passes with the deep ball. Morris also does not understand all the components on the field, as far as he doesn't know when to dump the ball to the RB, where to find his tight end when he can't find his first two reads, in all he has NEVER demonstrated that he can pick a defense apart. If you look at Morris carefully, you will see that he ALWAYS tries to hit his first read, and if he can't do that, he is handicapped after that. In all, Miami needs that "IT" QB that is a true leader that doesn't say things like "you win some you lose some". A QB who is a field general. I hate to say it, but the top two team in the country have those "IT" QB's who I'm talking about.
I'll conclude this post by saying that, though we expected to at least make it to the ACC title game, which may not happen, I still think Miami under Al Golden is still definitely on the right track. I think that we are still without a doubt missing some crucial pieces to the puzzle that Golden is still assembling. He still needs time people.
