This is the most poorly coached team I've ever seen at any level.
Any bits to share on that practice mentality? I’m sure can all be deduced but I’m miserable right now bthat's the thing, whoever takes this job over(and if it's a real competent coach), he will literally have to start from the foundation up in terms of how we tackle, block, play with leverage/pad level all that stuff because of the way we currently practice, all those things are lost on our players
The things Ive heard are alarming, and it shows up in games
It wouldn't surprise me to see a bunch of our guys actually transfer out because it would be too tough for them
He will not be fired.
Very undisciplined team. It’s all coaching.A few things. But should we call this 'Mannyball' -- poor, undisciplined, uninspired play, where there is no accountability?
But after today, 'the Nanny' (yes I said what I said) can pack up his Turnover Chain, Touchdown Rings, slip-and-slids and get the **** outta here -- and hopefully take Blake James with him. This experiment was an unmitigated disaster. Time to cut our losses
Mack Brown knew
This is maddening to watch(yet us fools do it every week, lol).
Manny is all smoke, mirrors and turnover jewelry.
Some other things/observations:
- Miami needs to go full blown Air Raid, pass-to-eventually-run. Yes, there will be some limitations, but it's simply the way to go for this unit, which cant create a good push upfront in the run game. King may leave plays on the field, but at least Miami has half a chance with this style of play. Good to see Rambo have a nice day
- Back to King yeah, he might miss some reads, but geez, they put a lot on his shoulders. In essence he has to not only throw but also be the running game with scrambles. At a certain point, we're going to wear him out.
But his NIL business can't be good right now. There is a downside to all this stuff -- an expectation to play well.
- Cam Harris is lucky he didnt play for Don Soldinger with all that hesitating he does before hitting the hole. Quadtrine Harris once said the only advice Solly ever gave him, and what he harped on was : 'Hey bro, just go straight, run hard, and get your 4 yards. OK? Just run straight, and get the four." That was the basis of his coaching when it came to that. Harris needs to just stick his foot in the ground and get north-south and put his head down. He's not nearly elusive enough, or has the feet, to run the way he tries to
- I dont ever want to hear Will Mallory be mentioned as a standout TE. He's an awful blocker, and now he's dropping easy passes. He's soft and one-dimensional as a player. Get Arroyo on the field more. Romello Brinson flashed, good to see. Elijah Roberts got his first substantial playing time as a Hurricane. I want to see the full blown youth movement starting next week
- Ever notice how on our bubble screen game our WR's get pushed back, while on the flip side, our defenses gets killed on similar plays because opposing WR's are so feisty and they fight hard. Again, that's coaching and mentality in play. (of course, we actually had Gurvan Hall literally run away from a ball carrier into a blocker, but that's another story)
- Still not. or ever, doing a good job defensively in terms of gap/lane integrity and control, leveraging plays back inside to fellow defenders and then overall poor tackling to top it off. In short, Mannyball
- Small things that are big. Ive noticed early in the game as MSU ran RPO and waggles, that are defenders didn't really try to even get their hands up and disrupt throws, if not tip them, as they come towards the QB We finally did that at the end of the 3rd with Chantz Williams batting down a pass. Again, UM is not good at the little things consistently enough.
- Anyways, none of this is surprising. I just wonder if our administration(and I know some will get upset by this) even cares about the football program to make a substantive change.
Hope everyone has a great rest of their weekend.

Thanks bro, no doubt.Main thing is that we simply dont hit enough. Just too soft on our guys overall. This is a tough game, and you have to let iron sharpen iron
Think of a fighter who goes into a big fight without ever sparring..

AgreedBaseball basketball and football are complete dumpster fires.
Won’t be long
3rd, did you happen to see 'A Football Life' on Nick Saban last night?Thanks bro, no doubt.
Ultimately, this **** show falls at the feet of Manny without a doubt. But it’s not like we’ve got a bunch of scrub assistant coaches and that’s the most befuddling thing for me.
This!! Everything you see on Saturday’s for the past 3 years is a result of what goes on during week at practice!that's the thing, whoever takes this job over(and if it's a real competent coach), he will literally have to start from the foundation up in terms of how we tackle, block, play with leverage/pad level all that stuff because of the way we currently practice, all those things are lost on our players
