Why can’t we win the Acc?

“Winning the coastal is more feasible than you guys think.”

-I think winning The Coastal has been feasible since 2004.

2016, that was last time we introduced a coach worth a ****, correct? We hired Mark Richt. What happened in 2016? We didn’t win The Coastal, BUT more importantly, which I continue to harp on, we improved tremendously. It took a few games to get adjusted to the new staff, playbook, habits, etc. 2017 is when we busted through the door to finally win this division.

Again, if in yr 1 we win, LFG; but, this hope & hype needs to be tempered. It’s not a matter of 1 + 1 = 2; if that was the case, we would have at least 8 Coastal Titles in our trophy room. We’re “building” something, which means there might be some kinks & set backs that can’t be accounted for by just looking at the roster/schedule.

I think one of the deadliest things said here on CIS, & I know exactly those who said it (lol), was “we were a few plays away from winning 10 games in 2021.” That is the most bull chit of all bull chit reasoning that was created on this board, & it came from The Manny Brigade. We were fortunate to win 7 games last yr. This whole team’s identity is going to have to change. An infusion of talent is going to need to come in. Learning new language & assignments, etc etc.

I would rather for my brethren to not put the “winning the division” narrative out there, not yr 1. 9 wins w/ a bowl victory is a great start b4 this ships takes off. IF we do win the division in yr 1, retire Mario’s jersey # that same day.

As usual, you've nailed it. Every year we get the August posts about how we're going to win 10+ because "who has as much talent as us"? As if, after 20 years, we don't know anything about losing for reasons other than talent.

We had statistically the best passing offense in school history last year. Our two leading receivers went undrafted. The idea that we somehow need Randy Moss for our offense to work is a joke.

We don't have that offense anymore tho, that offense is at SMU now. Hopefully Gattis is flexible and can figure out how to lean heavily on TVD's arm without getting a complex from not having a power running game lol Hopefully he doesn't get a glitch and keep running inside zone over and over.

Winning the Coastal should happen. We can’t say on one hand that we have a 1st rd talented QB who accomplished gritty and noteworthy performances last year, plus the top rated coaching staff in the conference, and on the other hand that we are weak here, there, and going 8-4 is considered a good season. No way in **** is it a good season.

Fact is, the Coastal is weak. The two other teams to give Miami a game in the division we have at home, Pitt and UNC. Again, no excuses here.

Bottomline, the floor is 9-3. Anything less and MC will be fighting to retain some of these verbal commits..

Coastal is weak every year. Yet we’ve won it once. Every ACC team we face can beat us. That is the right attitude to take. Because it’s the truth.
