Thomas Brown quote today

[GirthQuake]

Here comes the TB "he keeps it real bro" brigade. F-ucking idiots. No surprise @brock started this, broke is the leader of the TB fan club.

Where’s your tegridy?

 

[caneballza]

Pretty sure Randy use to say BS like this.

 

[Empirical Cane]

Edit: he didn’t say this pertaining to recruiting but just in general when responding to adversity

Don’t care what anyone say, Brown ain’t going to sugar coat sh*t, and will tell it like it is.

Love the attitude--as it should be.

Problem is, recruits aren't going to love Miami going winless for the rest of 2018 and certainly into 2019.

 

[hoover437]

He needs to own his stuff and stop blaming the players!! Sounds like golden

 

[BigBoi]

I get everyone is mad about the teams situation but facts are facts. I agree with TB. Guys that love Miami will come to try to uplift this program. Guys who choose not to come no matter what don't love the program. Now, we can't have a team full of FCS talent just because they love Miami but any of the top rated players we've gotten over the last 15 years came because they love this program.

The current blue chippers that are committed and if they stick are staying because of the love. The one thing this staff needs to do is stop trying to recruit only top players from SoFL. It seems as if the out of state guys have more love for the program than the kids in our backyard. Recruit and close on the guys you want to focus on in our backyard and at the same time go after these big dawgs from OOS instead of scrambling when the SoFL guys decide to go elsewhere.

 

[pumbaa]

Well with 0 current RB commits I guess you suck Mr Brown.

 

[Uthe1]

_???,and in the words of MR does this staff give us the Best chance to Win ?

this is what all the bad recruiters say

You either love the program or you don’t, the 2001 team came when we were not doing good because they loved Miami

 

[Insanecane]

You either love the program or you don’t, the 2001 team came when we were not doing good because they loved Miami

They came because Butch Davis convinced them to come despite Miami putting out a ****** product.

Brown is paid a lot of money to sell this lousy, not winning anything, bottom of the coastal program to top recruits, and his approach is "take it or leave it"? You'd think we were coming off 3 straight national titles. You're not in Tuscaloosa you buffoon. This is the Coral Gables version of Wake Forest or NC State.

 

[Calinative]

Isn't his job to convince players to love Miami?

Like sorry but if we limited who we got to only players that already love miami we'd be ****ed.

Don’t care what anyone say, Brown ain’t going to sugar coat sh*t, and will tell it like it is.


Brown also said he doesn’t call plays, but responded “ I think Every college coach would like to at some point”.

You can’t talk tough to reporters and then not tell Richt and Hartley that playcallingand ST are killing us

Actions speak louder than words. If he can go out and kill it in recruiter I’d give him more credit, but it’s not like Thomas Brown is an elite coach or recruiter

I’m tired of all the talk and excuses

 

[QuattroCane]

Enough, beat a crappy VT on the road and then payback Pitt, that's all the talk I want to hear.

 

[CaneStuck@USF]

If you don’t love losing 4 straight ACC games to marginal programs and you don’t want to play for a coach that is beyond stubborn and values friendships and bible studies over winning, go somewhere else. This ought to go over well.

Dumb quote...

 

[k9cane]

I cringe when I read about missing Richards when he was only available for like a game in the last two years. Miami didn’t win last year because of Richards; he wasn’t there. Berrios and Herndon were HUGE but do you not remember who was throwing the ball?

Penalties, dropped passes, missed tackles, missed assignments, fumbles are often a byproduct of the coaching. Did you ever notice how well-coached teams don’t make these lapses as much?

Coaching matter. It absolutely does...and those who don't coach well bring out the execution card

Question: "What do you say to recuits?"

Answer: "I tell'm look at the direction the program's going in."

This culture is terrible and it starts in the pop warner and high school level. You have people talking about transferring because they didn't start/play as a freshman.

... the majority of this staff are also underclassmen as Miami currently has 31 freshmen. Let's see where thing are at when those kids are juniors. Not too many championship caliber squads out there that are so freshmen-heavy—with only 16 seniors, as well (not recruited by this staff.)

 

[Ksoze8]

That sounds great until the guys go somewhere else and youre stuck with players who love miami but arent that good, Miami is no position to be telling recruits to go somewhere else if they dont love this program.

Post of the year! Nothing but truth in every line. He’s talking like we’re Alabama or Clemson. Our record is who we are. We’ve been pathetic for over a decade now. It’s not 2001 or the 80’s Coach Brown! Wake up. We just lost to Duke at home.

 

[1LuvCane]

Watched him And he’s been awful, don’t need to search that. But the reason why so many kids are in the NFL from non-elite schools is because they’re getting reps. UGAs AH corner will get better or sit; Kirby will replace him.

Where are the facts? This rep theory sounds nice but the old Canes had to compete. Didn't the All Mighty Shawn Taylor have to sit his freshmen year? Just cause you keep repeating it doesn't make it true.
