From their webcast:

"The Vippolis podcast offered up a different take on the historic rushing effort by the heels.

In addition to crediting the heels and their tailback duo, they also talked about why Miami got run all over. They didn't think they failed to show up. They didn't think they were not ready to play. They did not blame the players.

They blamed the coaching... And specifically they called out the "high school level game plan" they put together. They said the scheme was to blame.

I kept noticing terrible pursuit angles, so I was blaming the players. But they have a pretty good theory.

The Miami scheme was to get the D line upfield in rushing lanes to pressure and disrupt our offence. So they kept getting too far upfield. The great defensive ends neutralized themselves by getting too far upfield, thereby losing edge contain.

Without an edge, we were able to be patient and let the rest of the line work, then bounce the inside runs outside behind that absent DE.

The linebackers were all caught up inside in their gaps because they correctly diagnosed "inside run". That left Javonte Williams and Michael Carter against defensive backs in space, with wide recievers blocking. Yeah, I wouldn't want to be a Miami DB at that point either."

Yeah this has always been Miami's defensive philosophy. When this defense works, it's a thing of beauty. When it doesn't, it's bad.

Speed at linebacker and a real inside disruptive force is real important and Miami didn't really have that this year. It'd be cool to see Diaz and Baker adjust but hahahahahahahaha

I agree with what they are saying upfront...

BUT I will say this again...I've never seen 3 worse performances than Carter/Bolden/Ivey put up at the second level of run defense in my life...Any comparable performance I've seen is when a big power SEC backs and run games play Sun Belt/CUSA/MAC out of conference....Couch wasn't great, Hall wasn't great, but at least they tried, took reasonable angles and made some hits, forced a guy out of bounds, forced a play back in, etc...Amari Carter had THE SINGLE WORST GAME A COLLEGE FOOTBALL SAFETY COULD HAVE

DE's don't always set the edge. Sometimes your CBs have to set the edge in the case of a Cover-2, sometimes your LBs have to set edge in the case of a Cover-3, sometimes your Safety(ies) have to set the edge in the case of a Cover-4, & sometimes your DTs have to set the edge in the case of a Tackle-End stunt.

I've said it several times, and I'll say it again, COVERAGE DICTATES WHAT YOU DO UP FRONT.

When you got unaccomplished DC's trying to reinvent the foundations of defensive philosophies this is the result. Only complete and utter idiots would ever teach or adopt a scheme that didn't coach DE containment. I could go on and on about this incompetent defensive philosophy, but they've been exposed yet again. Manuel forget about an embargo and try another plan.
 
typically adjustments are made in the second half if the game plan is not panning out in the first.. It appeared none were made and they just kept doing more of the same. That just seems odd to me because we have usually been able to make decent second half adjustments on defense. Something just doesn't seem right.
 
A few days before the game I said we have to STONEWALL their Oline.

Say wtf you want, but watching every defensive line player get washed out of the play made miss Al Golden's two gap.


There becomes a point when the juice isn't worth the squeeze.

Can we not run a 2-gap/upfield type of style?

Run 2 gap on 1st and 2nd. Big Brain time...

amen brother, this is exactly what you get from D coordinator that never played the game and is trying to reinvent the wheel thinking he is smarter then everyone because “he edited videos for espn” lmao! Only a fool like Diaz and porsters like @Fawk_U Haters that never played the game would think they could go against a 100plus years of football knowledge and invent a scheme based on computer Analytics and think it would work in the real world. it’s hilariously comical that this guy manure is actually a head coach in any level of football. Lol dude owns the two worst defensive performances at two national championships programs. 🤢🤮 After he gets fired here and we all know he will it’s either back to espn or maybe Rumph will hire him at American heritage and just maybe with a little bit of luck he might con someone of the ilk of Blake James to give him a group of five DC job. All i do is laugh now watching him sink in pile of his own manure. 😂🤣

The D-line definitely got pushed around...BUT...the back 7, particularly the dbs were the bigger problem...If Amari Carter plays SLIGHTLY BAD instead of record-setting bad, you can cut AT LEAST 150 off of that rushing total. He was handing them 8-30 extra yards on every wrong

It's what most fans have been saying - coaching has been a significant issue. Manny's defensive system is feast or famine. Once you face a competent running team, you run into issues. UNC was able to run the counter multiple times and was getting 20+ yard chunks. I could accept getting gashed a couple of drives, but there was never any adjustment.

I'm not taking anything away from UNC, but Mack Brown didn't exactly run a clinic. Manny never adjusted and he kept going to the well. If I were Brown, I would've done the same **** thing to, it obviously worked.
