We lost a bunch of games to those crappy teams last year. So progress was made. If one perceives the season realistically. You're right we got crushed by 2 teams and it sucks but it's not a complete disaster. Gotta walk before you run.
I know what you mean and do not disagree with you. I hate losing.
Whatever. Two decades of self inflicted failure are enough. If the beat we got is that not every single trustee is equally invested in failure, then tell me why that matters when the majority sure have been.
There was support but if you know Alonzo Highsmith he is a no nonsense guy who needed certain demands met so he had the opportunity to do what he felt necessary to get the program headed in the right direction. The parties were close but in the end things changed and Alonzo said see ya! That ship has sailed and don’t see 32 ever revisiting the idea. Sadly there were some pieces of the puzzle being put together that would have given UM some building blocks to a better future.We are a mid level program with a bad AD, terrible staff and minor league football ops department. As I said before I’m quite aware of Ohio State and their operation, have a nephew high up in their athletic department. They are a machine. Their AD is respected throughout the country, their staff is top shelf, **** Urban is an adviser! Then look at what the **** is going on in coral gables. I wish they would have given Alonzo a shot, I think he could have made massive improvements given a chance to implement his ideas. Too late now and this Is a 5 alarm fire.
The problem is they'd never let someone come in to UM who could improve the show. They want mediocrity. And no one good would come in under these circumstances. Ed Reed is a figurehead.
you’re saying everyone here gone die soon? president and AD will change. BOTs rotate out over time. Takes a few new people who have priorities that align.
I would say their event horizon was too narrow. Before Butch left, Ohio State (or Bama for that matter) wasn't Miami.
Bad news is 8-2, nothing changes.
LOL Wasn't thinking that, but for all those other events to happen will take time. And then you're assuming all those new people will be interested/committed to building a winning football program.
True, but the issue in the Clemson and UNC games was defense, first and foremost. King played poorly against Clemson, yes, but wasn’t the key reason for the blowout. King played well enough versus UNC but had little help.
The OL played like **** in both games though.
No argument
I agree, but obviously us fans know what to do ... so why can't the administration. I think this is the level of mediocrity the administration wants.
True, but they are understandably more risk averse than the average school.
