I mean I took plenty of positives from this season personally, and not 10 wins because that’s a charity prize. That means virtually nothing. Championships and postseason appearances mean more. You get PAID to make the postseason.
- Showcased a 1st round QB
- Developed and advertised and explosive passing attack
- Brought back the TEU narrative (at least temporarily) with a soon to be high pick in Arroyo
- Got punched in the mouth and fought back in multiple games. Older Miami teams would have folded.
Those are all good things. And yet, you highlighted a lot of the disappointing ones, and those unfortunately Trump the good things. Why? Because winning meaningful games matters above all, and when it mattered most, we turtle’d up and choked.
We did not go all in to win 10 games. We went all in to win the ACC (or at least get there) and make a 12-team playoff.
