Be Patient Look how long it took these guys.

Says the man who likes tripping toddlers at the playground, eating their candy on Halloween, and is always a big hit at parties as he has to invite himself.

Have you met toddlers? The worst people in the world are all toddlers. **** toddlers.

Edit: I didn’t mean **** toddlers in that way, you creepy weirdos.

 

[Dwinstitles]

Jim won way more games his 1st few seasons than Mario.

Its not going to be exact, and this job roster was worse than most old powers ever. Real bad regardless of rankings

 

[D7.]

This is tough

It’s like watching your boy leave the club at 3AM with a heinous chick and you just gotta support them and say we will try again next week

True.

I don’t remember Jim pullling too many elite classes.. is that right or am I misremembering?

 

[Dwinstitles]

True.

Not super elite but up front dude knows his stuff man, it started there and worked its way outward. Pause

Hes just great at evaluations man always has been

 

[Yoyo82]

I can't get over the irony of telling any body who's still a fan of the Canes to "be patient".

 

[CaneinBroward]

I'm not sure if the new transfer portal/NIL model favors a longer window of evaluation for a head coach, or a shorter.

Hard to see how it would favor a longer window for evaluation, especially for those schools with well-funded NIL programs.

It's definitely made football administration much more like the front office of an NFL team though. Need to scout not only high school players to sign, but active college players who could be looking for better opportunities.

 

[pacusmc]

The standard is whatever you accept it to be. Maybe we should be like uga and wait 40 years.
We never did it like anybody else and we aren’t about to start now.

Tighten the fck up.

 

[Ispyin]

All I am saying we will lose heart break games, it won’t go exactly like this but big improvement is what I want to see. That’s what will happen

 

[Hufftwoseven]

Hard pass. I’m not waiting four more seasons for Mario to win a conference championship.

What if it guaranteed a Natty in year 8 or 9 or whatever it was for harbaugh?

 

[Rellyrell]

No, my guy, the standard is not w/e u accept it to be, it’s what a program have set it to be.

If we were SuntanU, then yes, what we’ve experienced for over 20 yrs would be the standard; but, when u flex as a Blue Blood, those standards change.

It’s quite unreasonable to think a team should win a championship every year, but when u’re a Blue Blood or want to be considered one, it’s not unthinkable to expect to be competing or vying for those titles.

U brought up UGA’s drought, & one thing I wish this fan base will immediately stop doing is comparing ourselves to others b/c they not like us (pun intended).

What I’ll do is provide championship droughts between programs that’s won the last 4 titles, & let’s see what happened during their championship droughts:

1. Meechigan - Drought from 1998-2022 (25 yrs):
10 win seasons: 11 (44%)
Conference Titles: 6 (24%)
Divisional Titles: 2* (17%)
Bowl Victories: 7 including 2 NY6 bowls (28%)
CFP: 2* (22%)
Top 25 Finishes: 17 (68%)
*Divisions in B1G didn’t begin until 2011
*CFP wasn’t created until 2014

2. UGA - Drought from 1981-2020 (40 yrs):
10 win seasons: 17 (43%)
Conference Titles: 5 (13%)
Divisional Titles: 8* (28%)
Bowl Victories: 23 including 7 NY6 bowls (58%)
CFP: 3* (43%)
Top 25 Finishes: 27 (68%)
*Divisions in SEC didn’t begin until 1991
*CFP wasn’t created until 2014

3. Bama. Drought from 1993-2008 (15 yrs):
10 win seasons: 6 (40%)
Conference Titles: 1 (7%)
Divisional Titles: 5 (33%)
Bowl Victories: 6 including 1 NY6 bowl (40%)
CFP: N/A
Top 25 Fnishes: 8 (53%)


Now, let’s compare to us.

Miami. Drought from 2002-present (22 yrs):
10 win seasons: 3 (14%)
Conference Titles: 2* (9%)
Divisional Titles: 1* (5%)
Bowl Victories: 4 including 2 NY6 bowls (18%)
CFP: 0 (0%)
Top 25 Finishes: 8 (36%)
*Conference Titles came from the now defunct Big East
*Joined ACC in 2004 & began divisional play

****, for chits & giggles, let’s compare us to USC

USC. Drought from 2005-present (19 yrs):
10 win seasons: 9 (47%)
Conference Titles: 5 (26%)
Divisional Titles: 3* (27%)
Bowl Victories: 8 including 4 NY6 bowls (42%)
CFP: 0 (0%)
Top 25 Finishes: 12 (63%)
*PAC-12 Divisions were from 2011-2021

Are u seeing a glaring difference? Even programs who went through or are currently going through long droughts still gave their fans something to hang on to, whether that was a top 25 finish 2/3 yrs, a 10 win season 2/5 yrs, or a bowl victory 2/5 yrs.

We’ve been well below this simple standard, & it’s not close.

 

[DTP]

Would anyone here have given Manny Diaz 8 seasons to win an ACC championship?

If your answer is anything other than a resounding yes, then why would you give Mario that long to do it? This is the NIL/transfer portal world of college football and Miami is buying up players with the top SEC schools. ****, LSU’s coach even cried because we outbid them for a player. There is NO ******* EXCUSE for this team not to be great RIGHT NOW. I’m not even talking about winning a national title. I’m talking about winning the sorriest power 4 conference in the country. This isn’t the 90’s or even the 2000’s anymore. You don’t need 8 years to build a program.

 

[theibisrules]

There's the door>>>>over there

Im glad you have a sense of humor...I'd buy you a **** drink or a six pack of beer bro!

Amazing research that sums it up in numbers.

 

[mcnaire2004]

Im just as impatient as ole boy is, but Mario deserves our patience.

If by "deserve" you mean "forced on us because he hasn't been fired yet." Then yes, I agree.

 

[IbzRlz]

I don't have that much time left lol. Plus, we didn't spend $80 million on Cristobal and virtually unlimited resources for recruiting, etc to wait that long. Nice try though

 

[harphong]

7-5 incoming

 

[mcnaire2004]

7-5 incoming

8-4 Progress brother!

 

[TRick72]

Harbaugh went 20-6, 13-4 his first two seasons.

Mario went 12-13, 6-10.

Anytime someone brings up this illogical argument, that’s all it takes to refute how dumb this comparison is.

Next.

Some would be ecstatic with the “progress” if he just got to 20 wins by the end of year 3

 

[E1k]

Man we are so down bad its sad to see lol

Literally every year we just look at others situations and try to correlate them to ours to cope..Hopefully mario can get this **** together this season cause it’s really sad what the fanbase does to justify this ****
