Shouldn't be directed entirely to the players and the team. I keep hearing Manny talk about their "standard." Like we've done anything since Butch left and his players graduated that even resembles the "Standard at Miami."

How about some standards for the coaches?

How about "quit calling the same damned plays that fail time after time, after time during a game?"

How about Miami coaches making some freaking adjustments during games?

How about Miami coaches pulling their heads outta their a$$es and adapt to what's actually working in a game - whatever the opponent - and knock off their "approved and sanitized" set of plays the coaches may like - but don't work?

How about Miami coaches using Miami speed and athleticism - and knock off the Arkansas/Alabama SEC type Boulschitt?

How about Miami coaches quit emphasizing THEIR expectations - and make some actual logical moves to enable our players to utilize THEIR skills?

How about Miami coaches - when one person commits one dumba$$ penalty - makes the entire team pay the price? I guarantee - you start doing that for every dumba$$ penalty - after some offending players take some a$$ whippings from the team - and that crap will dry up fast! It will be a self-correcting mechanism!

How about Miami coaches being held to the "Miami Standard" in their preparation, player preparation, player execution - and do the necessary adjustments to fix obvious problems - as they're revealed?

How about Miami coaches shutting the **** up - until such time as they actually get this thing rolling? If I want fluff - I can watch politicians lie their a$$es off.

How about Miami coaches concentrate on getting the ball into the hands of playmakers on offense - and forget the long-term personal plans they may have conjured up?

And how about Miami coaches BLEND their defensive attack - don't throw all effort to stopping the run - while letting receivers run wide open - and QB's having all day to find them?

You preach standards? Then standards should be applied equally - players and coaches. Standards suggest responsibility - so start holding not just players responsible - but coaches and coordinators should be held responsible as well - and while they expect players to adapt and change things up for better performance - the coaches should be expected to adapt and change things up for improving THEIR performance.

I keep hearing about holding people responsible. What the fck does that look like? OK, you can fire coaches but what about players? Dude false starts and it leads to a TD, does he have to run at practice? Will that really do anything? If it continues, do you take his starting spot? Because I promise you that CIS will lose it's sht if anyone decent doesn't see the field because they fcked up. And CIS won't be mad at the player, it'll be all about how the staff doesn't care about winning or they'd overlook things. What do you do if your top guys don't perform but they're still better than your 2nd string? Are we prepared for an even worse OL because the 1st string can't do their jobs all the time?

So what is it that you believe will motivate players/coaches without shooting the team in the foot?

On offense, make 3 step drop passing from shotgun the bread and butter instead of hour long playaction from under center.

Implement short passing concepts that put two to three receivers in the quarterback’s field of vision with the intentions on to throw in under 3 seconds.

Use some rubs and wide bunch formations to cross up defenders and run them into each other.

Split receivers way out to slow down secondary blitzes and get better numbers in the run game.

Stop pulling. Defense is shooting gaps and running it down from the backside. Get the backs going downhill in a hurry and try to create creases on the line to go be them space. They will break through often enough to make it worthwhile.

Scheme to NEVER run around Jordan to the outside. Cut the run upfield underneath him. Scheme to keep Jordan from ever blocking defensive ends. This is the most consistent factor in run plays getting blown up along with the pulling linemen. If we can get tackles on the end and Brevin on backers and safeties, we will be much better and consistent.

On defense, cut most secondary blitzing and use the linebackers when you rush 5.

Attack the quarterback more and live with the occasional run between the 20s.

More shell cover 4 and 2 on passing downs. Don’t bump and run in cover 1 and don’t jump routes. Make the opposing quarterback earn his yardage.

More than anything, keep the calls simple, and play interior receivers tight at the snap without being over aggressive. The slots are doing the most damage. May need Bandy at nickel. I like the idea of trying Frierson at free safety.

This won’t make things perfect, but we would have more success. I know this because we do many of these things successfully. We just won’t rely on them and go back to concepts we are incompetent in performing for the most part.
 
Crazy is play action on 3rd and long with weak protection.
It’s crazy how often teams use this on 3rd n 10 plus..Defenses are playing pass but alert for screen/draw..a lot of Teams use a PA to slow a pass rush down or mis place a defender. If you watch football it is CRAZY how often you see this

We do it WAYYYYY to much.

From under center at that.

I mean..**** when your LT gets beat within the first .5 seconds of the pass play🤷🏾‍♂️He’s getting beat a lot no matter what..that’s my only issue with manny/Enos so far sticking with 60 at LT. And I posted it when they inserted 53 vs UNC also. He also had a rough game vs CMU..but Enos doesn’t trust his oline in pure pass protection to enable Jarren to stand back there and scan..most our sacks have been on obvious pass downs, with no play action..**** that we get sacked or pressured in every situation. 53 and 60 are not power 5 starting oline men. I’m awaiting a thread pointing this issue out. Everytime I do, I get called a sunshine pumper lol..I put that on Diaz/Enos/berry for trotting them out there. I refuse to believe these two are better options than Reed at RG(who gone now) or sliding 51 to LT..or just going with Kai or hillery. I’d rather have either of them gel and get experience rather then have 53 & 60 who are both not mentally or physically ready..so before scheme I’m pointing that out because having that issue doesn’t allow anything you want to run to function

Bad scheme is what’s getting us into so many passing downs in the first place..

Your problem is you only see the oline as their worst plays.

They have bad plays. They have average ones. They have good ones.

These guys are not ready. We all know this. But the things Enos asks them to do makes it more likely for them to look bad.

Look at the difference between the plays that work and the plays that don’t. Yeah, they get beat on some of the shorter drops too, but it is less disastrous on those plays.

The difference between what we are doing and what we should be doing is the difference between having no shot and having a shot. We don’t get zero yards in a game so there are things that work. We don’t emphasize them enough just like Richt did in the four game losing streak with Kaaya.

Getting abused up front is what gets u into 2-11..3rd n 7 or more..bro go on YouTube and look up UF defensive highlights vs Miami. Watch how quick the oline was getting beat. Same as CMU..you can’t even compare what we are doing on offense schematically to MR offense

Enos is asking them tho be power 5 level linemen..like you said 60 and 53 are not ready to be that week in and week out..for that I blame Barry Enos and Diaz for putting them out there
 
Are there any instances of a message board poster who KNOWS what we should run actually getting into coaching and having success?
