This says it all

I don't get the coordinators are not NC caliber talk. The team was 40 yards away with plenty of time on the clock from winning the NC. They had been moving down the field pretty easily to get there. Dawson didn't tell Beck to force a throw and Hetherman isn't the special teams coach.

Now, is the special teams coach NC caliber, that is definitely up for debate.
 
the only thing that can stop us from getting back is the fanbase crucifying players and coaches

Mario is the man for the job and he'll get us there - or **** close every single year

Pretty sure the players and coaches ignore the boards
 
Potentially lost by 8 inches.
Two FG’s hit the upright. 4 inches in the other direction each and we’re driving for a game winning FG, and not throwing that last pass.
 
I respect Mr.Cristobal as a man. I haven’t liked all the choices the past years but he’s a cane. I value him as the coach as a cane.
 
Actually, they were 40 yards away. Even closer.

My take is Mario's formula for success is the right one. The trenches are going to get you deep in the playoffs every year. There are areas and positions on the team he needs to level up and improve. If he can do that, and a few portal pieces fall our way, then I honestly think Miami should be the favorite next year.

After last year I thought, "s***, we wasted Cam and how are we ever gonna get back here?", and then we were 40 yards away from a national championship. If he does this right we can be sitting there like the Ohio State's and Indiana's of the world watching every game be a 21+ win and feeling like a juggernaut in the playoffs. That wasn't us this year. Three out of four playoff games we were the underdog. We can get better.

But Mario needs to level up one more time.

Dawson is not a championship OC.

Corey Heatherman is a championship DC.

Overall, our Canes must correct the penalty miscues to near 0 or they will never be a championship team.
Hetherman had BOTH Saban and Belichek questioning his defensive IQ at points during game.. Giving free access throws, ugh..
 
True true...
But I feel like Mario is building a team that can contend every year. He's building the team from the inside-out, putting an emphasis on elite line play on the both sides of the ball.

If you have those things, you always have a shot.

Honestly...I think we're only seeing the tip of the iceberg. We competed for a natty with no elite outside threat at WR. A shaky TE room. A limited QB. Imagine how much better this team/offense could be with a guy on the outside who can take the top of a defense to compliment Malachi...or a QB who can hurt you with his legs...or a TE that's a mis-match for defenses. We're still missing a few pieces IMO, and those pieces can take us over the hump.

Losing Mesidor and Bain sucks but from what I'm told inside the building Lowe is a future 1st rounder...and we already know Lightfoot can play. Combine that with 5-stars Blount and Scott on the inside... then Thornton at Nickel...I don't see this defense taking many steps back. The Linebacker unit will consist of guys Hetherman recruited and developed, and we got a couple freaks there as well.

I think this team is cementing itself as one of the elites.
From your keyboard to God's ears....

Agreed!
 
Leaving the stadium, and the next day sure I was beat up. But honestly, what a ******* team, and season. Just amazing. Mario just validated his entire existence, our city our school, and the things we love the most, and I don't see him taking his foot off the pedal. What a time to be a cane, boys and girls.

I agree
Having said that
I wish Dawson WOULD HAVE told him to be patient bleed clock we aren’t in a hurry to score
Take what’s there and we will be able to have shots at EZ to win w 15 seconds left!!!
