We gave up 587 yards

So if Shoop really is the DC in waiting, is he going to install his own D or is he going to just run Manny’s bs scheme and thus take the blame for its flaws?
 
The defense is what it is.

We don't have elite edge rushers and we don't have NFL linebackers like we've had here in the last few years. We have guys playing that wouldn't normally be playing and we also have talented but inexperienced freshman contributing.

We need to continue to recruit on that side of the ball but the problem is it's tough doing so in the current environment which we sit. The cloud over Manny, our record and certain position coaches are derailing our effort.
How can u convince kids to come here elite kids when your on the hot seat? We fuqed this class is going to be epic bad

That's the problem we have. The move should've been made on Manny two weeks ago. Now we find ourselves in a **** show that's not going away.
And the next coach regardless who he is will struggle unless they can convince kids to come. But with ESD most of the elites will be signed...then we will recruit 4 star Corey Flagg JR from Texas with no real big Texas offers.

This is BS tho. Like yeah there aren't elite edge rushers or NFL LB's on the roster like the last few years, but that's the problem though. Even last year when Miami had elite edge rushers the defense was still getting shredded. It's not a talent issue but a scheme/coaching issue. The same problems were there last year just on a smaller scale with far more talent on the defense.

You also don't need NFL talent littered throughout the defense to have a good defense. There are coaches all around the country with less defensive talent/athleticism on their defense that are producing much better results because the players are put in better schemes and coached better. In true talent rankings, Miami is #2 in the ACC behind Clemson, and there is a large gap between Miami at #2 and UNC and FSU at #3 and #4. Despite being #2 in the conference in recruiting talent on the roster, Miami is #9 out of 14 teams in yards allowed per game, #8 in yards per play and #8 in sacks.

The defense stinks, is wildly underperforming in the conference relative to their talent, and the scheme and coaching is obviously a huge part of why.
 
Diaz has zero feel for the game. As coach Hayes said yesterday, the dude grab bags plays. And god awful ones at that. His scheme has flaws but his blitz packages and untimely blitzes make him as bad as he is

.. to the 4th ranked offense in the nation, while running hurry up offense the entire game. (For perspective)
Pickett was forced to go one dimensional from early on. They were going to rack up yards. Fundamentally, the defense looked MUCH better now that some guys are out for the year.
You throw it 60 times, you're going to make a mistake or two.
That's what happened to the Great Kenny P.
Tyrique made the best play a Cane DB has made on the ball in a long time.
Big play.
 
This team has 1 viable corner currently and 0 actual P5 capable linebackers. Brooks probably is but we haven't seen him this year to see if he has progressed. It drove me nuts last year subbing Frierson for Smith and now Carter for Frierson. Just play all three at the same time as Linebackers, they are the best athletes we have that can play. the subbing is flat idiotic. Flagg is probably a great kid, watching him in space is painful. playing 10 on 11. He was pretty much unplayable. The recruiting failures at these 2 positions is why we can't stop a nose bleed. Defense is terrible. Defense is pretty terrible all the across the country. the games are a race to 40pts
