He’s 100% right. At the stadium it seemed like we were well on our way to a rout. 14 - 0 in the first quarter and momentum on our side.

Then we squandered that and let them right back in.

Three fumbles in the first quarter. I don’t know if I’ve ever seen a Miami team do that.

People want to blame the players, and yes it’s their fault for not securing the ball, but I think it’s more about having a team prepared and focused. Focused and alert players usually don’t fumble. Being prepared, being focused and alert, that’s up to the coaches to inculcate that during the week and overall as part of their culture.

And who should hold players accountable? If this was an anomaly then you can overlook.

On another note on their 29 yard touchdown run as per usual on the counter Steed took himself out of the play and Flagg had no clue where the play was going. He froze and then has zero speed to scrape and recover. They keep trotting out kids who should be playing FCS ball.

They pulled Flagg after that play and Ragone came in had two straight tackles. Of course Flagg was back out their in 3rd / 4th qtr.

Lmao so the fumbles are the head coaches fault now so with that said Manny gets credit for the touchdowns thrown? Come on man you're really reaching on this one. Fumbles are not a head coaches fault. The person who fumbled has to be held accountable. Yes we out talent GT but 3 turnovers in football in the 1st quarter is still three turnovers. They changed momentum and gave some hope to those cowards. Also keep in mind this is a what have you done lately world and we have beat two rankes teams before this and we were prepared.

Fumbles aren’t his fault. Playing Flagg who was out of place a few times was then replacing him wifh a walk on smh

I’m also going to say Georgia tech has more talent then their record reflects

As much as we rag on Ragone, he isn't flashy but he knows his assignments.

At least we know he is a G5 talent since he transferred from Arkansas State. The fact we did not prioritize portal linebackers is shocking. We desperately need two next year. Troutman may be undersized but he has to be no worse than we are sending out. TAC is healthy, no? All things being equal play the young guys.

Sometimes I think some of the people here don’t watch any other college football. Every team has games for they turn the ball over an inordinate number of times .

There’s no deep underlying reason. We haven’t shown a pattern of doing it. Sometimes it just happens.

We blow them out without them. Instead we had to overcome them, which we did. That’s something we traditionally don’t do.

Shrug.

On to FSU.
 
He said something similar against Pitt about our record. Glad to hear he isn’t settling for average

Lmao, so Manny had them " focused and alert " to score two touchdowns to open the game but weren't " focused and alert " when they fumbled??? Lmao what's next

Exactly. They fumbled because GT was not only after the ball, but they were also trying to get that extra yard. All of them. It was not a lack of effort, but maybe too much effort. I can not fault the coaches for those fumbles. Those young men were playing their butts off. Yes, they need to secure the ball better, but it wasn't because they were being lazy with the ball. They were fighting their butts off. ****, that's the same reason we won the game. No other Cane team in recent memory has that happen and holds on to win.
 
We have three years of watching guys make mistakes . Receiving stupid penalties , dropping passes , fumbling , going awol on the team and quitting but allowed back.

When you have zero accountability and culture in a program you see things like yesterday with fumbles. There’s a history of errors and no discipline.

We make the same mistakes because guys know they‘ll get their Pt. Playing time is the one card coaches have in their pocket and this twit finally started mentioning it in year three. When he was all but fired.

If some people removed their heads from Manny‘s **** for five minutes they’d see what’s staring them in the face.

The elite preparation just isn’t there.

An elite coach would have been harping on this and working to get it corrected.

Also with Rambo, how many times this year has he tried to cut back on that play and it’s never worked.

Unfortunately I feel like the people who are the ones making decisions now have firmly place their heads back in Mannys culo. I have a really bad feeling that if he wins out which looks likely now that the powers will chose to give him another year forever trapping us on the hamster wheel of mediocrity.

I think you're reaching on the fumbles 2 of the guys who had fumbles had career days. So on one hand your saying the coaches are to blame for the fumbles but on the other hand your not giving credit for their career days. So the coach is responsible for the fumbles but not the career day???? If they didn't fumble the game would have been over in the 1st quarter
