There is no easy fix

[Gatorhater]

None of us are getting paid millions of dollars to fix it. Mark is. It is starting to look like he has or is losing the team, just like Golden. Until last night, the defense was immune. Now they appear to have started to consider giving up to.

He is getting paid, and he **** well needs to fix it, but I'm not sure most of this can be fixed short term. I don't know how one goes about teaching kids to focus so they don't commit penalties and drop the ball, is that the kind of thing you can change during the season? I hope so, but after years of watching whatever that year's issues were repeated game after game, it seems to me that the changes mostly come in the offseason. He could try to scheme his way out of the OL problems (and should), but the "talent" there is all we have until next year. Until the OL plays better the running and passing games are going to suck.

I saw Shula cut a starter at halftime once. Old Fin players like Zonk were scared to death of him. Don was nice guy and very religious, a daily Mas Catholic, but the was he.. to pay for messing up on field. Six Super Bowls, two wins and ONLY Perfect Season in NFL history -- not a bad coach. Then he got nice when the grandkids started. Done!

Maybe bench a kid for stupid penalties, not aggressive ones, but the stupid ones. Start an frigging walk on if you have to, anything but let players think they can get called for illegal motion over and over again without paying for it. Drop couple balls, ride the pine a game or two. Every other reliever will take notice too and object lesson take hold. We throw kids off the team for failing at ancillary parts of their responsibility but allow them to ***** up the one get are getting free ride for. Same thing with the coaches. Nothing wrong with a little fear of getting canned.

Agree with this...Only problem is depth and we do not have it. When kids know they can and will continue to play even if they mess up they will continue to do so. Get some more talented players and build a 2 and 3 deep consisting of elite and good players like Bama, OSU, etc and you cut this entitlement out over night.

I am not someone who blames the kids. But if people say it is their fault, I am saying it is still the coach's fault. Take a student out of the stands and suit him or her up before you let slacker play. I love this players but not one of them has been good enough to take a play off like some of the greats did once in a while. I like Kaaya a lot but if he is ******** up then time on the pine is needed. Put each olinemen back there for a couple passing plays and let them get their rears kicked around. Fire a coach just to shake the rest up.

That's funny, I was thinking this today. At this point in the season I might back him doing whatever it takes to instil discipline in the players. If that means njoku or AR sit next time they drop a pass fine. Redzone false start? Bench. Hit a guy out of bounds? Ride he pine. Doesn't seem like there's much to lose, and in the coming years there's a ton to gain. As of now, I'm fine with benching anyone who can't do their job in favor of a less talented player who can.

Goes for coaches too. If you can't figure out how to get your guys to be assets to the team the. You have no place at Miami.

I am all in except the hit out of bounds. Those are useful mistakes as long as hit is hard. Ole St Bobby use to say he was fine with late hits on QB that got flagged.

I'm at the point where I don't care about depth anymore. If dudes can't do they're jobs, put in the walk-ons. Seriously, does anyone really care if we finish 3rd or 5th in the coastal? I don't. I'd like to see the team play for pride, but more than that I'd like them to learn to do their **** jobs. If sitting on the sidelines can teach them, then I'm for it.

We are going nowhere, so he can put in girls form the stands for all I care. Whatever it take to send the message. I would also like each coach to have his name put on a pink slip after every game and have Mark carry them around all day every day.
