Thoughts on 1st year

[The Franchise]

Our offense sucked last year. Scored nothing vs Clemson. Scored points late vs UNC. Didn't even hit big points against crap teams like FAU. Kaaya already has more touchdowns than last year and our running game looked worse many times last year

Last years team was much worse than the record indicates. I can easily make a case for why we should have won just 3 games all year.
Sure, we are all disappointed with just 6 wins so far but they are all convincing double digit wins and not the squeakers we had in 2015.

Disappointed ? Yes, but more hope than I've had in a while.

Underrated perspective.

Not sure I would go with only 3 wins, but I agree that the team wasn't as "good" as the final record would indicate.

Did we lose any games we could have won last year with a couple breaks going our way?

You guys are trying too hard. Your record is what it is.

4-2 in 1-score games last year.

So, we won more than we lost in those cases. Could have easily gone the other way.

So we could have also won the 2 we lost if you want to play the "coulda shoulda" game?

Not really playing that game though ... Just suggesting last year's team didn't "look" as good as the record would indicate they were. And this season's team "looks" better that last year, even if the record is the same.

Kind of like some screen passes don't "look" all that good, even if they work.

You can understand that, right?

 

[nickster]

In my opinion this has been a horrible season. A season plagued by big game losses and a team that is penalty riddled. Not impressed at all with Mark Richt as a play caller and a day game coach. The offense is extremely vanilla, no trick plays, and sticking with Kaaya way too long. I do like what the defense has done as far as the aggressive play. Unlike a lot of you, I think Berrios has done a very good job this year handling punts because he gains yards and DOESN'T MAKE MISTAKES. This team has underachieved and so has Richt by a long margin. Richt is tremendously overpaid and UM could have done much better with half the salary.

You can understand that, right?

I think we looked exactly like an 8-5 team last year. Actually, we looked more like a 9-4 team until Coley decided to throw a half back pass in the snow.

I understand that a bad operation on screen passes limits the effectiveness of the screen pass because you can't always count on the RB to break 30 tackles. But I don't know what that weak analogy has to do with your claim that we didn't look 8-5. What does 8-5 look like?

No worries. We can agree to disagree.

I think this year's team looks better than last years. And virtually every statistic, offensive ones included, support that narrative.

But if the month of October was the deal-breaker for you, I won't argue it. I'm not "happy" about being 6-4, but I see progress.

We finish off NCSU and Duke the way we have Pitt and UVA, and I'll take this as an acceptable year 1 from Richt.

But to your point.

As has been mentioned before, last year's team was 9th in the country in turnover margin, and 1st in the ACC at +11.

Did our defense "look" like they caused those turnovers? Did our O "look" like they were super-careful with the ball?

We caught a lot of breaks last year, IMO. And the turnover margin supports that opinion. And that's why, IMO, we weren't really as good at the record indicates.

Is the great one upset that he has fans?

You act like you were insulted.

You get kudos from me. It's magical.

You should be saying "thank you" to me for acknowledging your power.

Don't be an arrogant prick. :topsy_turvy:

 

[cubin10]

Get away from me with that pathetic "our record hasn't improved, but we haven't gotten blown out twice" bird chested faqquittry.

Should have won 10 and the Coastal this year. Out of the Coastal race with 3 division games left equals **** result. Get better.

It's funnier that you're a grown man concerned enough with another man getting upvotes on a message board that you felt the need to post about it.

Trying to suppress your up votes.

thoughts on 1st year episode 10, 3 to go

 

[cubin10]

I believe team is a lot better, but looking beyond that putting up $1MM, instrumental in getting the IPF, improvements in the overall program and relationships in the community, I will give him a pass on the condition he gets an OC.

Miami needs to stop giving games away and needs to learn how to close-out and win games, , this is what Richt needs to accomplish to be successful.

 

[Jedi Master Cane]

If you went into this season thinking a team that fired its coach mid season last year and based on 2015s performance had a mediocre run game , mediocre qb, and a mediocre OL was supposed to win the ACC Coastal then you have quite the imagination. Looks like you bought into the Kaaya preseason draft hype. The Vegas experts who actually have hundreds of millions of dollars riding on accurate assessments saw a 6-6 team. Many of you apparently saw a 10-2 team that wins the ACC Coastal. The defense generally played above expectations. If they had played exactly like the 2015 defense and the offense averages 5 more ppg than 2015 you know what we are? A 6-6 team. We go on a miracle run to finish 8-5 in 2015, Vegas predicts 6-6 on 2016,we go 8-5 or maybe even 9-4 in 2016 crushing the expert predictions, and you think it's a fail. Doesn't matter that we're finishing strong ( helping recruiting) or it looks like we finally figured out how to block and maximize Kaaya for next year's realistic run to the ACC Coastal division championship. Players have to be broken of old habits and a losing mentality, it takes time to change the culture. One aspect of the team surprisingly outperforms and this year's expectations go from 6-6 to 10 win acc Coastal Champs. Lol ok

God this sounds like Don Bailey Jr typed up this paragraph himself.

After all these years on these boards I still have no idea how anyone can carry this type of mindset. It's a loser mentality.

And another thing.....Vegas makes their lines based on where they think public perception intersects with the most gambling activity on BOTH sides of the bet.

Richt wet the bed during that 4 game stretch, and that 4 game stretch ended up determining our season and ruling us out of the coastal.

 

[CaneFan79]

I predicted 8-4 and now the team needs to win it's last two games just to do that...

https://www.canesinsight.com/thread/predict-regular-season-record/100516?highlight=season+prediction

I posted before about how I believed depth and injuries would hamper this team, but it's the mental part which is handcuffing the 'Canes this year. "De-Goldeniztion" is nowhere near done (See FSU game) and it may take a lot of turnover on the offensive side of the ball to get to a 10 win season...Not a pessimist, a realist.


Enjoy Detroit, Fool

 

[deleted4697]

The fsu loss put a damper on this season.... Got tired of losing to those *****es. The ND loss hurts cause I hate them with so much passion. 1 of those losses I'd bite my tongue.... Both those losses ruined the season for me. If we win out and finally win a bowl game I can look forward to next yr, but it won't salvage the season imo

 

[NVA CANE]

So how do people justify a first year coach with less talent possibly winning the coastal.

How the **** does Fuente put his team in a better position to win the same **** division that we play in than Richt does.

Richt squandered a massive opportunity. This season is a failure, anyone that says otherwise needs to take off the orange and green glasses

So we look slightly better than last year's unprecedentedly toxic dumpster fire of a team coached by no one even though our record isn't better? That sounds like the 350 pound chick who dieted down to 300, and all her bloated friends tell her how hot she is.

When all is said and done, they keep score for a reason. We have a ****** record and won't reach any of the goals that were very reachable.

If you want to celebrate that, then no one can stand in your way. I choose to hold off on popping corks until we accomplish something other than unquantifiably looking better than we looked at our most toxic.

 

[MIATL]

A few points on VT.

1. They have the same defensive staff, so it's not like those guys are learning each other and a new system this year. There is no real adjustment period for the defense.

2. Fuente brought his own QB with him, and the kid is the perfect fit for what he wants to do. That offense wouldn't look the same without Evans.

3. That VT team has talent. The orange and green glasses are worn by too many Miami fans who don't understand that Hodges and Ford are highly thought of by NFL scouts. Both of those guys would be the best player on our team at their position. Im not saying Miami doesn't have talent. But I am saying the talent comparison between Miami and VT is closer than many Miami fans are willing to admit.

4. Fuente is a really good coach. Which is why I wanted the Canes to hire him the year before Golden was fired.

So how do people justify a first year coach with less talent possibly winning the coastal.

How the **** does Fuente put his team in a better position to win the same **** division that we play in than Richt does.

Richt squandered a massive opportunity. This season is a failure, anyone that says otherwise needs to take off the orange and green glasses
