Why can’t Miami be consistently good?

Easy answer cause we keep hiring terrible coaches. Look at what Coker, Shannon, Golden and Diaz have done after Miami? That says a lot cause none of them are head coaching anywhere today. Richt the only legit coach we have hired and we got him at the wrong time (health)

And the reason we keep hiring terrible coaches is because the admin are largely a bunch of drooling idiots who also don’t care about winning above all, like in the SEC or Big 10.

100 percent, the BOTs are whoever made the choices are g0d awful at picking coaches. When we hired Al Golden it was between him, Tressel and Edsall was the final 3. Wtf thats who they come up with???? Thats why we have been 6-6 for two decades
 
It’s a myriad of things that starts & trickles down from the people who are responsible for the program.

At first, the money men where dirt cheap & made a ton of bad hires while not allocating funds towards the Football program to keep on us par with the rest of the top programs in the Nation.

Then in the 2 instances in which they finally opened the checkbooks, it was for Richt & Mario.

Also bad Coaching + subpar recruiting = Consistent losing & average seasons

Our struggles stem from the people in charge not knowing or caring about Football & when they finally do they’re very limited in the people they think can actually lead us to being a winning program. They see everything through the prism of the old glory years of Miami & having been chasing those ghosts for decades.

It’s just been a bad combination of the people who control the money making really stupid decisions based on nostalgia.

It's a lot of reasons, as some note, but the biggest reason is failure to obtain a top QB. Who have our QBs been the past 20 years? Kyle Wright, Jacory Harris, Stephen Morris, Robert Marve, Brad Kaaya, Malik Rosier, TVD, etc etc. We don't have a QB who has been drafted, what, top 5 rounds in 20 years. Good luck competing with that, let alone throw in the sanctions from the Nevin Shapiro incident, bad coaches, etc.
 
Lack of Money

Money has meant bad coaches that need a ton of talent to overcome how bad they are.

And money has meant we can’t get enough talent to overcome how he’s the coaches are.

So we end up with a ton of coaches that nobody else even gives a head coaching chance after us (Coker, Shannon, Golden) and a lack of first rounders in that same period.

Also wanna throw in that leaving the Orange Bowl was a big mistake

People still worrying about the Orange Bowl is exactly part of the “Miami” problem.

It’s been 15 years…

Mario didn’t not kneel, mismanage the roster or blow games because of the Orange Bowl, he did it because he’s an average head coach that tightens up in tough spots and the administration hired him because his friends were better positioned this time around…
