Got dragged for saying he looked rough against famu.

lol Christ really? Yea I mean he was serviceable against the Ball St and USF’s of the world but a lot of people said if he’s our starter come conference play we are in trouble.

 

[RVACane]

Someone did. Isn't this your site?

You got banned like 3 years ago because you accumulated 3 points twice for derogatory remarks involving “Cubans” and once because you insulted a guy. The comments were deleted when the events occurred. The infractions were all given by me. It was an automated system ban. Had nothing to do with Manny. Had everything to do with your behavior at the time.

All he had to do is beat a GT team with a one armed QB and RB with a flat tire and couldn't do it. This game would have been irrelevant.

I still think if they beat Ga Tech lost today and lost to SMU they would have been left out of the playoff.

Dude oléd a few blocks and got cam crushed against famu. Continued to do that and got arroyo almost killed at usf.

He can still be good but let’s pump the brakes.

I really don't care about the playoffs I just wanted to win the ****** ACC once before I croak. I'm 46 with injuries from my head to my feet from serving in Iraq and Afghanistan I don't have much time left. I just wanted to see a conference championship to see some progress.

 

[C A N E]

Being a canes fan is a casual thing these days not something to take too seriously.

I had fun this season.

This staff wasted a championship roster.

Thank you for your service but yes I do agree. It’s absolutely pathetic 20 years in the ACC and one appearance in the title game. Yea I’m 32 and my last fond memories were back in 04 when I was 12. I mean Christ haven’t we all suffered enough as Canes fans?

What’s hilarious is D$ hyped him up as a first round talent weeks ago and he just doubled down on the NFL after getting abused against Cuse. I guess the glazing never stops around here.

I got the PM/email. It was "trolling" behavior because I said Miami should lose the rest of their games to get rid of Diaz. I was banned immediately after. I'll discuss via PM. Timing was convenient. If I insulted someone, they came for me and I clapped back. Bottom line, way too much white knighting for failures of coaching staffs. This one included

Ok.

Vegas had us at 9.5 wins. We are exactly as predicted. The only thing sucking is how it happened. This is who we are, though. Next year we will run the ball more and improve marginally on defense if we do it right, but regress on offense and win 7 or 8 games. We will be there until we get another big time QB to find us two more wins in a big season if the schedule is favorable. This is our reality until we have multiple top 5 classes and $25 million rosters

Vegas thought we'd be playing top 10 FSU. Teams are expected to over/underperform, but that's a historically bad underperformance. Adjusting for that, and this team achieved less than Vegas expected.

….and putting it in those terms it has been a long time. One thing though is if we are going to get somewhere near being back Mario needs to have a serous self evaluation. However, at this point he is who he is.

 

[brock]

A LT that gets beat badly that constantly will not be in the NFL. We can’t have him as our LT next season.

Can have him at guard but not tackle. His feet are too slow and heavy for athletic edges

 

[brock]

One thing Cristobal has showed is he’s willing to improve on an aspect that was detrimental the previous year every season since he’s been here. I expect The same with the defense

Saw a ****** Gaddis offense. Got Shannon Dawson
Saw a ****** tvd got cam ward
Saw a ****** oline, built a really good one
Upgraded talent at the skill positions offensively and have recruited well at most positions.

Let’s see what’s in store for 2025. Yes this season we did make good progress but still there is more work to be done and everyone knows that. Guidrys sh^tty defense really wasted a generational qb

We need changes on defense asap however, out of 7 of the 9 acc teams we played, we got significantly outschmemed excluding fsu and wake. Guidry is in over his head, need a proven hire now that can get his guys motivated and not look so confused all the time

Now this is also true. I’ll give him credit for that - he did hit on Dawson and got Cam. Two big steps in the right direction regarding his stereotypes on offense.

And I do think once in a blue moon, he’ll get a good DC…third time’s the charm?

But what worries me most is the holes on the roster that are reoccurring issues, the poor evaluations in those rooms, and the lack of development in those rooms. And that’s supposed to be his forte, what he’s known for and what he’s paid for.

Year 3, I’m underwhelmed to date.

 

[Calinative]

You forgot Indiana who is a lock

Yes I meant to include them too thanks

 

[Hurricane23]

Mario blew it by not getting the help he needed on defense, this defense is pathetic.

 

[Fawk_U Haters]

The Cam Ward of it all is what hurts the most. Absolutely criminal to waste the best QB in program history. 10-2 would have been fine from the outside after 7-5.

Not this year. It’s a colossal failure. Unfortunately on par with what we are accustomed to.

Love Cam for what he did…..not even close to being our best QB in program history.

Didn’t Diaz do that as well? Was the first Coach to ditch “pro style” after Enos flopped. Got a terrific coordinator in Lashlee. Needed help with recruiting, got T-Rob, also tried to get a top notch LB coach but he got a promotion elsewhere. He brought in a true dual threat QB in King. First time we had one of those in eons.

looked to me like he was evolving as a first time coach and learning from his mistakes. The one he didn’t fix was his belief in his defensive scheme. Ironically though if we had a Diaz defense it would have been 10x better than what we had this year, and with our offense would be good enough to compete for #6.

Cristobal started off going backwards, he saw UMs success with a spread offense, yet chose bro style and Gattis. Many of us couldn’t believe he would undo the one thing that worked under Diaz . So Cristobal gets credit for unf#cking a mess that he made? And then he jettisoned all the Diaz players because he wanted his own guys for his culture, resulting in one of the most penalized teams in the country.

Diaz needed help with DB recruiting so he hired T-Rob. Cristobal needed help with DB recruiting and hired Chevis Jackson.

who has Cristobal hired to fix the biggest deficiency- lack of preparation and discipline? Cristobal has done one thing well- get Cam Ward. And that’s the end of the list of positives.
