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…
It's a symptom of the disease. The disease is that Miami is cheap and won't invest. Where is our football facility? Oh that's right, they decided not to build it after saying they would, straight up lying to the supporters of the program.
The stadium thing is optics more than anything, but it's the most visible symptom of Miami's cheapness to the whole country, including recruits, prospective students, and prospective future conferences who might wonder how much Miami admin really cares.
Miami is the only major college football program in America without our own stadium besides Pitt. That pretty much advertises the fact and screams out to the world that Miami admin are too cheap to invest in the program... so much so that they don't even care if the team has a field to play on.
It's a TERRIBLE look for Miami to rent out a teal stadium that's basically in Broward and have it half-filled each Saturday.
