THIS!!!! This is what a lot you older cane fans need to realize.. These kids don't give a **** about all that stuff you keep pitching to them.. These kids grew up watching Jacory, Kyle wright, Kirby freeman and Robert Marve throw picks and UF winning championships. Fsu having top classes and a great atmosphere and the SEC being dominant. They are 16,17,18.. MOST of them dont care about the history of Miami because all they know is miami being a mess over the past 10 years.
The truth hurts.....the fact that we have such a rich history makes this hurt worse.
I think this is a little harsh of a view. the same could have been said for OSU pre tressel or bama pre saban or usc pre carroll..even the greatest programs hit blips but our history is part of our dna and there are only a few programs in our class. sure we need to do better and it would help but never forget what we accomplished is always a factor.
Tressell was a national championship coach before OSU. Pete Carroll was an NFL HC and championship DC. Saban won a national title at a BCS school.
Those guys were elite coaches. Al Golden is an elite recruiter, but he can't coach a lick, and he's lost his momentum. Same exact thin as Randy.
I was with you until you wrote the bold part. You can't lose Sony, Cook, Lane, Rudolph, Pierce, Harris, Powell, Dixon, Clark, and probably Valentine from your own south Florida backyard and call Fat Albert an "elite" recruiter. He has to get at least half of the aforementioned guys to be considered elite. If he doesn't make a calculated move to get Coley on staff, we probably don't land Yearby either. Elite my ***!
