It takes time to turn around a sinking ship...

Fans believe in their team...

Haters don't.... Period.

  • 2018: Ending of 7-6 -- MR resigns
  • 2018: Lost 7 blue chip recruits
  • Dec 2018: Diaz hired
  • Jan 2019: New Assistant Coaches Hired -- Enos
  • Feb 2019: New Offensive system installed
  • Aug 2019: 8 months of a total rebuild started
  • Oct 2019: 8 games within 1-2 plays of winning
  • Nov 2019: All 3 phases of the team now clicking...
This is how turn-arounds work....

GO CANES!
GO COACH DIAZ & ENOS!
*** YOU HATERS!

This reminds me of when Al Golden won 3 straight games to improve to 6-3 in 2014 to improve to 6-3, and everybody was slurping him.

Except that we routed those 3 (weak) opponents. IIRC, our closest game in that span was 21 points. I’m sure we didn’t get outgained in that span like we have in the current 3 game span.
 
Except it wasn’t a total rebuild. Manny himself said it in the offseason. He horribly underachieved out the gate and is starting to stabilize. Let’s not make it something it’s not. It’s good to see us winning but 4 losses vs. this schedule with this roster is horrible. Win out and win on the trail and we can talk
 
This wasn’t supposed to be a rebuild. This should be a one loss team but at least now we see improvement. Enos playing more out of the gun should’ve happened from the start.

We beat bad teams but we beat them soundly so that is improvement. We need to beat a quality bowl team or at least play like we belong and then recruit well. This isn’t close to a wrap.

Minus the fact that we lost our last 4 games that year . . .

Horribly underachieved? If we had a kicker who could make a kick under 30 yards we’d be 9-1 at worse. Not to mention the **** offensive line he was left with.
 
Still have concerns about kicking. Still have concerns about O line. Still have concerns about third downs.

Going from a D to a C is an improvement, but it's not exactly head of the class.

The trend is going in the right direction, but lets not call it complete.

Louisville is a solid team, they're not great but they're about the same level of quality as UNC and FSU.

In 2014, Al Golden was in his 9th year as a head coach and 4th at Miami. So it’s actually nothing like that

Troll ***
 
Ignore these haters. I agree with the OP. The turnaround at UM is/was inevitable and long over due. This turnaround is a "market correction." What are the odds that the school with a rich and one time dominant history, nestled in the MOST talent rich part of America, would keep shooting itself in the foot?

The turnaround is happening, at least to make us a perennial 10 win team. Is Manny and co enough to get us to the playoffs and eventually NCGM? That is a different level. But, are we finally getting back to what should always be a baseline 10 win a season team (starting next year)? Yeah, that course correction is happening.
