the only thing kyle knows how to do right is stare down his receivers so the other team can see where he is throwing
MikeO said:This Miami football program has problems that go deeper than just 1 man/coach.
It's a dying football program in a conference with a lot of young/upstart football programs on the rise.
Miami brought their program back from the dead once in the mid-90's. I don't see them doing it again. I think this is a collpase that they won't get up from. Were talking SMU type of stuff!!!! This could get ugly down there. You can make a case that South Florida has passed them as a football program inside that state!!!
(They are like SMU, but not in terms of death penalty stuff in 1987, but in terms of they were a solid program in 1995 but the switching of the conferences from the SWC to the WAC just ended up being the death of their program. I think Miami moving out of a nice home in the Big East where they had tons of success to the ACC in a time span with an unproven head coach was/is the perfect storm for destruction of that program. That is too big a move to make without strong leadership at the top)

Everything runs in cycles. Yes they've fallen pretty hard, that's obvious, but to say they can never return to be a Natl. power is poppy****. They bring in one good coach/recruiter and everything can turn around completely.
Kdawg954 said:Did u watch the game? This team has a top 5 defense, with a good/great running game. Our FG kicker hit a 55 yarder and our punter is above average/good. Our problem on this team lies squarely on the shoulders of Kyle Wright. He just isn't capable . . . and I think it has alot to do with this sorry excuse for a coaching staff. Kyle is still staring down his receivers, not able to feel the pressure properly, not making good decisions. He is unable to move the offense . . . and this is with a solid running game. Yea he doesn't have Andre Johnson or REggie Wayne at WR, but even if he did, it wouldn't matter because he can't make plays. Think about it, we scored 20 points against Duke . . . In contrast Va Tech put up 36, Virginia put up 37 . . . the inept offense of FSU put up 51 points against them . . . and we put up 20? We held Va Tech to 150 yards of TOTAL offense, and we lost. We set them up with 2 INT's inside of our 30 yard line.
And I think its obsurd to compare us to SMU . . . are u kidding me? U don't think, with the type of recruits we have down here and a head coach who can bring it, that we will neve compete for a national title again? I agree, never with Coker, but if we get a halfway decent coaching staff, we will be just fine . . . look at that defense . . . almost everybody on that defense is gonna be drafted, u don't think that is gonna attract some kids here still? Look at the history, the titles . . . the location. C'mon Mike, I know u deeply hate UM, but its really starting to affect your judgement in your analysis.
However, if they decide that academics is the way route over good football, and that seems to be the motto for Shalala and company, then you are right its gonna get ugly. She has to step up and really make some moves this offseason, and if Coker is still here next year . . . the program really could be in a topspin that could take a long time to recover from.
MikeO said:I disagree. Your only 5 wins this year came against Houston, UNC, Duke, FIU, Florida A&M. And you only have 1 road win. If you didn't play as many cupcakes as you do then you might have only 1 or 2 wins all season!!!! And your under .500 inside your conference (the worst conference of all of the major one's). And you close with Maryland, UVA, and BC. Well, you might be UVA, but that isn't a given and this Miami team might not even be bowl eligable!! You can't pin that on 1 coach and 1 quarterback.
The fact you are bragging and propping up you PUNTER and KICKER just shows how far this program has fallen. They struggle vs the likes of Duke. Lose to a VT team that isn't any good. Get destroyed by L'ville. You are getting embarassed in bowl games losing 40-3 (then starting a brawl of course)
The problems are deeper than a coach and a quarterback.
Time will tell though. We will see who's right eventually. I'm sticking to my guns. I feel confident on my analysis of this stuff
UF Fin Kat said:you confuse me sometimes, mikeo. you've bashed miami for switching to the ACC because it's not as simple as the big east was, but lately you've been saying how dominant the big east is now compared to the ACC. so....which is it?
and it's really ridiculous to think miami won't be back. they're going to get a great coach who can recruit, they got a TON of talent in the area (AND get tons of out-of-state talent), and the ACC isn't that great. i could see them winning the conference next year depending on the coach. nothing far-fetched about that at all.
Kdawg954 said:True, but I bigged up the defense and the running game as well, I was pointing out that everything seems to be solid except the QB position and the WR position (passing game). When u see players not only not improve but regress from year to year (ala Kyle Wright), then that has a whole lot to do with coaching. Yes switching to the ACC was a mistake for this program under its current state, but this is the type of program that can make a turnaround from adverse sitations.
so you just make things up as you go along, i figured as much.MikeO said:don't you brag about having me on IGNORE. Why are you even reading my posts????

UF Fin Kat said:this thread inspired me to add mikeo to my ignore list. :)
UF Fin Kat said:yeah i removed you yesterday because you had like 5 posts in a row in one thread and it was getting confusing.
you still haven't defended your statements about miami's move being bad because the ACC isn't as weak as the big east and then turning around and changing your mind.
