There is no easy fix

[jackedaround]

18 first downs a game. Run it more, more quick slants = more predictable.

Put him in the gun. Hands off to Walton who runs into the wrong hole.

Okay put in yearby. Runs sideways for negative 3 yards. Busts large runs when the game is over.

Pass the ball. Receivers drop the ball.

Get creative. Throw a half back pass in the snow when the half back is wearing gloves.

Go up tempo. False start in the red zone. Coley lines up offsides. Drive is killed.


You see there is no easy fix. You cant teach players who dont have the capacity. Richt is not the best play caller. But last i checked he doesnt play the actual game. He doesnt drop the balls, he doesnt hold, he doesnt sit in the pocket all **** day when he knows his line is **** and he doesnt pick the 2 gap when the run design is a cut back outside.

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.

WERE THE ONLY TEAM STARTING 3 FRESHMAN LINE BACKERS IN D-1.

THIS QB WAS THE BEST DUAL THREAT THEY'VE FACED.

Not sure you understood what I meant. Defense has been great and our newbies had been inspiring. Just looks like the lack of any hope that offense will produced might have started taking hold on them. The point is team is looking like they lost faith in Mark -- that is death to a coach.

 

[Caneadian]

Easiest fix. Hire an offensive coord that understands the college game and will implement an offence that plays to they players strengths and weaknesses. Then gets diff players and changes the offence a bit to compliment them. Not just stubbornly runs what he wants regardless of they type of players he has. Lane Kiffin is basically a god when it comes to this. Went from I formation power play action to spread RPO . He'll do whatever he has to to compliment his players.

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.

That's the easiest fix? You think we can get that done before Tuesday's practice?

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.

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.

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 think most aren't asking for immediate talent like Bama or OSU but enough coaching to get our players to win the Coastal like UNC, VT, GT and fvking Duke.....surely those teams haven't out recruited us to the point where we can't win this POS division for a decade.

G**** Duuuke.

LMAO. I seem to recall you telling Shaq's father not to send his son to UM. I'm pretty sure it was you. If you didnt see that there was a strong possibility that our D was going to get gashed with all the injuries and not much depth,plus playing many true Frosh already than you are blind.

 

[SmokeyRone]

We are 7-0 if the offense wasnt absolutely terrible. We'd be 7-0 if the terrible offense made one ******* play, out of around ten opportunities in each game, where we had pretty easy scores.

We beat FSU and UNC if not for individual, terrible plays on STs, and maybe had the momentum last night for the second half if not for another extra point miss.

These players never had to make plays under Folden, 'cause a few plays never mattered, we were blown out mostly.

Kaaya alone had to make multiple, AWFUL mistakes to lose the last 3.

Gonna have to watch the replay, but maybe CMR's 3rd down playcalling was not as bad as it seemed. Kaaya would get the snap, and locked in on one receiver, or non at all, and either froze up for a sack, or made a bad pass.


These players are NOT winners. They lose. Thats what they have done their entire Canes career. Notable that besides a handful of veterans, the freshman, and true freshman, are the ones making plays.

IF CMR tanks 2017 by doing nothing to replace Kaaya and others, THEN its all on him.

WERE THE ONLY TEAM STARTING 3 FRESHMAN LINE BACKERS IN D-1.

THIS QB WAS THE BEST DUAL THREAT THEY'VE FACED.

The problem is depth. We lost 2 starting LB's and a DE before the season. Last night we were short the next 2 starting DE's, an interior DL, a backup interior DL, and a starting CB. And lost a starting safety during the game.

The entire defense is drained from the last 2 weeks and played on a short week. 4 of the front 7 are true freshmen. If the offense helps them out last night they don't look near as bad. It will get better, but it's going to take time.

Richt came on board 2 months before national signing day and some of that time was a no contact period. He's a great recruiter and an above average coach. It's going to take him another year at least to show some improvement. If he brings in a stud QB to fit his system things break loose in 2018. If not the banners fly.

The true freshmen performances is about the only positive on this team right now. Those 3 LB's are going to be studs. Unfortunately I don't think true freshmen OL recruits are going to make that big of an impact for 2017.

Thomas, Norton, McIntosh, Elder have all been really good

 

[KrazyCane]

The easiest fix would be to bench Brad Kaaya... If Richt would've done it after the FSU game we would've beaten UNC and VT.

Never told popa Shaq to not send the kid to Miami. That kid was one of the reasons to have hope this year. I did tell him it was great that Golden was gone and that it would be great for his son if Butch got the job because the our old defense would be great for Shaq. I was not talking bad about defense. It has played great. Just pointed out the Mark might be losing the team --offense looks defeated. Against VT the defense gave more than any other game. Most probably it has to do with the injuries. I am just wondering if some of it is them getting tired of the offense sucking so bad. Kool is best coah on the staff and Manny is probably next best. Defense has been good enough to be undefeated. It is Mark's side that sucks.
