win the coastal and fans learn the difference between loose and lose.
Most of you guys are pretty delusional, haha. A successful season in a coach's first year would be topping any season we've had in the last 15 years?
I think an 8-4 regular season with a nice bowl win, and end-of-year momentum would be a good year. Hopefully that includes 1-2 of the following: beating UF, beating FSU, winning the coastal.
And if that happens, all of you will be pounding your chests come next January, and talking about being national contenders in 2020!
A decade?Get us to the ACCCG and for the first time in over a decade have us play entertaining football on both sides of the ball
11-2 is the worst case scenario honestly our schedule is cupcake UF and Clemson will be the only competition and fsu will be fsu but don't see how we lose to themWorst 11-2. The only teams that we should or might lose to is UF and Clemson. Clemson we will lose for sure in the ACC title game, but I want Um to at least compete and not get blown out by them like they have been.
Win the Coastal, no blowout losses, including ACCCG and bowl game.
I would say anything more than 2 loses would be disappointing. With the talent that we have, I just don’t think we loose (or should loose more than 2), with the energy Manny is bringing, it seems like this has to be it. Thoughts?
For recruiting purposes is absolutely essential that we beat UF, can't stress how important that game will be especially for the 21 class. We lose that game & you can kiss that top 5 class goodbye.
I'm not giving an opinion, I'm telling you what I know...Florida is the opener. No one will remember that game come December if Miami wins the ACC Coastal and gets to the title game against Clemson.
The Gators are a Top 10 team to start the season and the Canes are coming off of 6-7 and a coaching change. To call that win "essential" isn't accurate as it would be a decent upset if Miami pulls it off in Diaz's first game.
You're not going to lose the 2021 class if you're a one- or two-loss team going into the ACC title game. Losing to the likes of a Duke or North Carolina is what rival coaches point to when trying to steal kids from your class—not dropping an out-of-conference season-opener to a ranked rival.
How important was that LSU loss when Miami was 5-1 and had topped Florida State in a comeback thriller? It was already yesterday's news by mid-October and really would've been forgotten had the Canes not dropped four mid-season ACC games and reached the conference championship against Clemson.
Losing to the likes of Virginia, Boston College, Virginia and Duke derailed the season and killed recruiting—not an opening-season loss to LSU on a neutral field.
