"Do you Effing Job" sparks UM!
With Miami in an early dogfight with the Owls, a team the Hurricanes were supposed to have an easy time with, a UM fan in the crowd began firing obscenities at D’Onofrio and his defense.
“Do you Your phucking job,” the fan shouted at Raphael Kirby, but you're “phucking Preaching...”
“Let me coach,” D’Onofrio shouted back before senior linebacker Raphael Kirby began restraining him. “These kids deserve ...”
How D’Onofrio ended that sentence was hard to make out on the expletive-filled YouTube video making the rounds on Hurricanes fans message boards Tuesday. But how that night — and that tenuous moment on the UM sideline — ended is not.
Miami’s defense rallied around its coach in both instances. First Kirby hugged him as linebacker Tyriq McCord fired back at the fan to “Shut the ***** up!”.
Soon, a team huddle converged on the sideline and eventually the Hurricanes figured it out on the field, shutting out the Owls on their final four drives in a 44-20 win.
“Some of the things that happened early in the game, we had a guy out of a gap here and there, and [Kirby] missed a tackle down the field and you give up an explosive play,” D’Onofrio said when asked for his assessment of his defense’s performance against FAU.
“I like the fact that we took the ball away [five times]. I like the fact that we had great unity, and we rallied from a tough situation and fought back. I thought we tackled really well in the second half.” BY MANNY NAVARRO
