Talent..any Sonny Lubick just came up short

some inserts from the article

Read the signs. Last season Miami finished 9-3 and ranked 15th in the country, ending a record 137-week streak in the Associated Press Top 10 and confirming a smell of decline that grew ranker with each underwhelming week. Hampered by the yo-yo handling of quarterbacks Frank Costa and Ryan Collins, which could linger into next fall, and fractured by internal discord, the Hurricanes lost to Florida State in Tallahassee, lost to West Virginia in Morgantown, and then had the whole mess summed up in one 68-yard romp by Wildcat running back Chuck Levy in the second quarter of the Fiesta Bowl. Levy busted through the Miami line and took off, zooming past a secondary that had, until then, been fast enough and together enough to catch almost anyone. To punctuate things, Levy did this nutty duckwalk across the end zone, strutting and drawing a penalty for excessive celebrating—acting, in fact, just as the Hurricanes used to. "You just don't see that!" cried color man Cris Collinsworth.

"Think about it," Erickson says. "The greatest coach ever in professional football is Don Shula, yet we share one thing in common: If you don't win around here, you're out. Knowing that, knowing how they are, you just can't let it bother you. My problem is, who're the guys you can trust around here? Who're the guys stabbing you in the back?"

One of my favorite Defenses we ever had. Bad coaching and mediocre QB play hurt our chances to win a title that year.

Carlos Jones is still one of the biggest head scratchers in UM History. Smh.

Al Shipman too. Although I think he just didnt like the fact that AFTER the game was over and the party in Coco Grove had stopped....you actually have to go to class at some point.

That was the 93 canes as the 94 team lost to Nebraska in the Orange Bowl. The 94 team was a terribly conditioned team as we lost in 4th quarter at home to 2 low humidity teams and Erickson seemed to throw in the towel knowing what was coming down.

'93 team got smokes by Arizone 29-0.... '94 defense was one of the best to never win a SHIP at the U, CJ Richardson and the crew could get after it

Dealing with a fresh set of legs Frazier in the 4th qtr will do that to you. Offense completely crapping the bed and not getting a 1st down for God knows how many series also doesn't help the defense at all.

You said it right....Carlos Jones played like a rock star in 94... Then fell off the face of the earth.

IbisRules...to this day CJ Richardson is one of my all time favorite 'Canes. He could lay some lumber.
I remember this article from SI

I had the pleasure of attending the '94 FSU game and several things stick in my mind from that game. I was outside the OB when the team bus arrived and Erickson came off the bus and went nuts getting the crowd fired up even before the game. The Carlos Jones INT was the loudest I have ever heard any stadium, just an amazing moment and the performance by Sapp was the single greatest defensive performance I have ever witnessed. He was simply unblockable that night.

clearly Al can't trust certain guys such as Blue and Figs....

Every time he comes on the TV, I think about that game.

Or that guy running the defense.

That would be himself he can't trust
