Why an NFL Draft analyst doesn’t expect much from Miami Hurricanes. And Ed Reed’s role

Draft analyst Tony Pauline explains why he’s not especially bullish about this Hurricanes team and discusses the draft status of several players. And Hurricanes notes.

"But draft analyst Tony Pauline?

“They are a program that underachieves,” he said. “They lost to Florida International during the regular season. They got shut out by Louisiana Tech. They seem to be a program heading in the wrong direction. Unlike Florida State, who the Hurricanes detest and who is going in the right direction, I don’t see a lot of improvement coming from the Hurricanes this year.”

Coaching. UL won 2 games in 2018. A new staff won 8 games in 2019. They had the 2nd highest scoring offense in the ACC behind Clemson. They’re probably going to score on a lot of folks this year too. They’re pretty fast on offense.

Maybe in weeks 2 or 4, but week 3 they're fvcked.

These things stopped rustling me years ago (and especially following ****show seasons) but it is comical that anyone thinks highly of Lou-vul or Vag Tech. One could almost* understand falling for the UNC hype or being intellectually lazy about Notre Dame but Vag Tech and Lou-vul are mediocre and certainly with a smaller potential upside than us.

The only thing I can say is it's recency bias. Both Louisville (with Bridgewater and Jackson) and VT (with Beamer and Foster) were better than us lately. All we have to show over the last twenty years is one 10 win season. The collapse with Rozier followed by Manny's hiring convinced everyone it was a fluke.

Remember UNC 2018. We whipped them good. 2019 - we got caught sleep walking, UL. They will be ready. We better not be sleep walking. I DO expect us to hand them their *** again.

The whole us getting by on name recognition thing has been over for a long time. We are a .500 team overall the past decade. There is virtually no one outside of our own fan base that thinks a new coordinator and a transfer QB means anything more for us than it did FSU last season. Time to win some football games.
 
So what. We drink the Kool aid, sure but we also follow this team closer than most of those guys. It's not the same team as last year.

Do we have to win first before we get excited, sure. But we're definitely closer than 6th best in the acc.

Just need to take care of business and win. Everything else is noise

Good point.
But we're also not going around saying our new playbook is no playbook. Although, I do remember there was some concern last year over what was going on @ FSU.

That's almost as good as the NFL scout article I read yesterday that said FSU is on the right track and we aren't.

And post that right over the door so the kids have to see it every day.

Please post the article. I always love good comedy.

The so called experts are predicting losses to Louisville and V. Tech as they are away games, then add losses to an overhyped North
Carolina and the probable loss to Clemson, resulting in a sixth place finish. Louisville is getting the nod because of their offense, but their
defense is suspect, and just the opposite is true with V. Tech, good defense, so so offense. If these were not away games the ranking might be
different. Even so,I think we can win both these games, we have players on both sides of the ball. North Carolina at home gives us another
possible victory. I think winning two out of the three is realistic, just hoping that Manny makes it possible, for me he is still a question mark.

Yeah, away games are going to be sooooo tough this year, with very few (or no) fans in the stands...
 
Miami is a mystery to the ACC right now. ****, they are a mystery to us. On all of personnel issues, we have addressed all our pressing problems from a year ago. If we were competently coached on offense last year we would have won 10 games. Even without that if Miami could have kicked field goals and extra points, we would have finished the regular season no worse than 9-3. I am normally a wait and see guy. I am optimistic this fall for the first time in years if Lashlee is competent which I believe he is and King is dynamic, which he should be against this schedule.

Also remember they are predicting based on talent. Alot of these people don't view our players like the fans do. They follow all teams recruiting and they don't believe we are stacked with first rounders. They look at our talent and think to themselves can UNC or VT hang with this type of talent and their answers are yes.
That's what goes through their minds and u can't blame them.

Yea, that’s a no from me, my good friend.

You already know the last 10-15 years we’ve had enough talent to be a good bit better than our records.

Not national ship contender talent, maybe not even win the Coarstal every year type talent, but more than enough talent to NOT lose to the bunch half-*** teams we’ve been regularly losing to for well over a decade. I don’t need to list the names of the subpar teams we’ve lost to in 15 years. We all know them.

So the problem hasn’t been talent.

The problem has been the execution of that talent. Using the talent in the most logical way, not trying to fit a square peg in round holes,selecting more players with winning attitudes. Developing that talent.

Which all leads to coaching. When you have subpar coaching, even if you have a decent talent advantage over other teams, the bad coaching can equalize that.

Can we recruit better as well? Of course, but we’ve got to get the leadership issue fixed to to resume recruiting at a high-level

But what we have had is a leadership issue that adversely affects all aspects of the program including the players.

Manny better get it right
