Tracy Howard Interview on Time at Miami

[nvlahos]

Alot of stuff we already knew

- Golden and D'Nofrio were not good fits for SoFla players
- D'Nofrio's defense was trash
- The Miami Culture was a losing culture at the time
- And Tracy was honestly probably overrated coming out of HS

Lol he didn’t have to throw DBush under the bus tho

Deon still collecting NFl checks. He bought the bus.

 

[Andrew]

Just goes to show why culture matters. This must be what it's like to be FSU right now.

 

[Ziggy]

I thought we were back when he popped on signing day. Tracy had talent but was limited by the culture and scheme. Man that **** was depressing. Glad it’s over.

 

[MiamiChris]

Not that he would have ended up becoming a day 1 or 2 pick, but his career here would have been better if he played under Richt or Manny.

Same with Chickilo, who’s played in the league for many years and was totally mismanaged by the idiots

 

[Geddy Lee]

Wait wait wait. The team threw a party after getting **** rolled by Kansas State his freshman year which was their first loss of the season? They beat BC in a shootout and then went to Kansas State the next week.

 

[Geddy Lee]

Deon still collecting NFl checks. He bought the bus.

Deon has been good enough here in Chicago. He will continue to play in the league for sure.

 

[TerragonSix]

Fat Al Folden.

**** you, and your ***** weasel D'Nofrio.

 

[Ethnicsands]

Kudos for tracy for sayin that out loud. pretty much half the folks here said the same isht back when. And the slurpers (same folks) were defending al bra cadaver.

 

[Canesq]

****. good god! The most anti miami coaches that we could had hired. parties after losing? Imagine if JJ found out the team partied after a loss? No wonder we sucked for years. Golden and Dorito should never ever set foot in miami ever again

And that mfer had the audacity to sue!

 

[TriStarCane]

Best game of any corner in 10 years vs UF in 13. His career was ruined by that scheme. **** shame

 

[Canesq]

nice one I was just about to scroll to the next comment confused

 

[Canesq]

LOL, yeah, I'm sure Golden would've won 90% of His games if the players stayed locked in their dorms after practices & games. Had nothing to do with that frog stance, patty cake, & ****y bumpin' scheme that we were running on D.

Culture is an important part in winning. This just showed the mentality that started from the top down.

They are pretty much best friends, he just said Deon doesn’t like watching film, and Tracy kept talking about watching hours of film.

that was a very Al Golden era response from you

 

[88]

Golden was the low point for this program no doubt.

 

[Rellyrell]

Tracy just said what many expressed. The good old days, when fans would be pro coach & blame talented players for f ups. Wait.....


Anyways, I’ve been harping on that UVA instinctual int for a minute, and it was clear D’No was UPSET that Tracy read the formation, came off his man to read the route for a pick 6. Blood’s career & confidence was shot since then. We’ve wasted a lot of talent here. Tracy was a good CB b/c clearly he was aware of his physical limitations, but he made up for it w/ his instincts & IQ. When u hand cuff a guy or take away what’s made them effective, just to fit ur agenda (square peg, round hole), well...u have Tracy’s career.


I’ve been very critical of the player development, culture, and scheme here vs. player’s being deemed overrated or not. Again, how is it that all these recruiting services r wrong on majority of our players? Even the #1 CB in the nation?? Naw; our issues have been the guys wearing headsets.

 

[hiphopanimal]

I still remember popping big when TH put on that UM Swag hat.

Everyone thought he was all UF and we were so hyped.

His athletic ceiling was limited but still, what a waste of talent and what a horrible horrible five years. Whoever hired Golden etc should have been sent to jail.

 

[grover]

Always been a fan of Tracy's. I don't care he wasn't the 5 star we thought he would be. He was a baller. If he had played for TROB, he would have made a team in the NFL for at least the practice squad years. Because he was super smart and a blanket cover corner for the first 10-15 yards.
