This is not a smart team

serious Q, did Leonard Taylor play tonight?

I just don't see how he's projected as a 1st round draft pick. I didn't hear his name called all night. Him and JW. JW disappeared after that 1 play in the 1st quarter. These 2 guys were the Crown Jewels of their recruiting class. 5 stars - but where the heck were they in that 3rd quarter when the UNC RB gained what feels like 10 yards every play.

Yes, North Carolina is also a dumb team. They have been for years and they set penalty records tonight. It will haunt them against top competition and will probably cost them an easy one.

This isn’t Georgia Tech where we gave the game away to an inferior opponent. The talent level is similar and their QB is a true difference-maker, one of the best players in the nation.

But we control our unforced errors- non-physical penalties, snaps to nobody, breakdowns on 3rd and forever. When you play this sloppy on the road against a good opponent, you get this result.

Wow. Snaps to nobody.. Really. One bad snap that was recoverable! Lots going on besides that

Last week, we made international news for stupidity. This week, we followed it up by:

- Committing three unsportmanlike penalties, including one by an assistant coach.

- Calling a timeout, sending 12 men on the field, and giving up a touchdown.

- Giving up a TD on 3rd and 18, and then another on 3rd and 20.

Add in two fumbles plus a bad INT, and you have a soul-crushing beatdown on the road.

For some reason, when things go bad over the last few years, we lash out at our "good-but-not-great-enough" players. Guys like Quarterman and Kaaya are recent examples. Those guys were good players and got excessive backlash for not being great. We're seeing it now with Kam and TVD. Any team in America would take Kam. And while TVD isn't Drake Maye, he is one of the most efficient passers in the nation over his career.

The problem is much deeper. We beat ourselves more often than a 14-year-old with Cinemax. We do dumb things consistently, even in our best win against Texas A&M. It's too much to overcome when you don't have elite talent.

Our momentum is cooked. Clemson is a chance to turn things around, with two tomato cans looming after that. But Clemson won't beat themselves. That's why they win. I love recruiting. But if recruiting needs to make up for coaching, we're stuck in neutral. This team needs to start playing clean football. If they don't, this will be a very expensive version of the same season we've seen for two decades.

D money relax this North Carolina was a toss up or figured as a lose during the off-season it hurts a little more because of last week against Georgia tech, but we know this three game stretch was going to bad. Should be 6-3 going into the Florida state game

- Mario is a horrendous coach
- Dawson is as average as it gets
- TVD is a lifeless oaf
- the RBs are beyond trash
- if X is your biggest playmaker you have problems
- TE position is gone under Dawson
- OL regressed as quickly as they could to the mean
- DL outside of Bain a true freshman is putrid. I NEVER want to see LT on a big board again. He’s horrendous.
- Mauigoa regressed back to the mean quickly and missed easily 5 tackles in the first half
- DBs forget it. All of them are horrendous.

Get rid of your TE coach he’s done 0
Get rid of Salave’a he can’t recruit and his unit is horrendous
Get rid of Addae with someone who can recruit since his development of players means nothing
Bring in analysts who will challenge Mario with HC experience.

Maybe Mario can turn over his staff yet again

Listening to the presser and I just heard Mario say "We just need to get back to work." **** a mantra should be a red flag for new hires going forward

This is the root cause of Mario. He doesn’t know how to fix this so he’s leaning on what he knows - work harder - bc he doesn’t know anything else. He is what he is - an antiquated coach with a philosophy that doesn’t work with these kids for some reason.

And how many of these good not great players will be dipping out to the draft. A miami tradition like no other. Some of these guys need to return for another season but I doubt they will
 
We've been the same type of team through Coker, Shannon, Golden, Richt, Diaz, and now Cristobal.

This is baked into the cake, a part of our DNA. Good luck trying to get rid of it. It is now a genetic defect in our program. More talent doesn't fix it, it seems that spending money doesn't fix it, getting a coach that has actually won doesn't fix it. This is us at this point.

Maybe work less hard for a bit Mario and stop for self reflection because he’s a piece of **** HC
 
This has been Miami for the last 20. The least intelligent team in all of football.

Don’t talk to me about how talented recruits are. Tell me how intelligent they are. Don’t care how good a guy is, if he can’t read he will turn into one of the many All American morons we’ve had here the last 20 years.
