Bleak Visions VII -THE REALEST **** I EVER WROTE

[OrangetieFatface]

As much as I hate golden, I will say playing Kaaya was a good decision. I don't doubt some of the players didn't like it cause he's a true freshman and they thought a more experienced qb could win "now." but playing Kaaya was a solid decision, one of very few.

I thought the "true freshman quarterback" was going to be his biggest strawman. Didn't pan out for him.

Agree. Vern is not lying and I bet some of the Miami kids didn't like him because they thought he was soft or for other prejudice reasons, but I do know that his Olinemen really like him.

and his freshmen class likes him

The kid is gonna be a great QB (I hope). He's just on a **** team that has had lots of problems for quite some time.

Golden probably had a whole notebook of excuses ready and had to toss it to the side cause the kid was solid.

Exactly. That card isn't on the table and that was my biggest concern about actually starting Kaaya. Not that I thought that it was the wrong decision but that it'd be able to be used as an excuse right about now. Thank God the kid got almost everyone on his bandwagon early.

I don't know the reasons. Some kids might not like him because he's from a California private school others might not have liked him from the day he got on campus and just wanted the older guy to start. I was just adding that in there

I don't doubt it but if true then it goes back to my earlier statement about levels of retardation being at epidemic levels. Kenny Dorsey was on a team of guys 10000x "harder" than 99% of the kids we have now and he came off as 1000x softer/more suburban/whatever than Kaaya. Plus, the alternatives in 2 guys in Williams and Heaps that don't exactly exude "Miami" was a joke as well.

 

[weownfsu]

When Kenny Kelly got hurt in '99 and Dorsey came in, a lot of the players had doubts about Dorsey too. Then Dorsey threw a ****** pass to Santana Moss that he couldn't possibly have caught. And Moss immediately went over to Dorsey, and took the blame for the play in front of the offense and said that he would catch it next time. I guess that's the difference between a guy like Santana and a lot of the clowns who would have "played harder for Williams" or Heaps or whatever the **** Vern is talking about.

This happens at every level in every sport.

Guys want those that they came up with to play. So I understand the Williams thing, he's been in the program awhile. No idea about Heaps.

Wonder how many players that quote came from, a locker room usually has a few factions. Bet by the end a guy like Walford liked Kaaya.

Also, still curious about the Coley thing (Vern didn't answer). He's suppose to be a players guy, Kaaya is clearly his guy. Was there an issue there?

 

[User-4525]

Idk how many guys didn't like kaaya but I know a lot that did.

 

[gangis2169]

Williams had a scholly to arkansas when Petrino was there...

Vern have you actually watched this kid play cause I have numerous times. Like I said no going to win us games not going to lose us games. You dont think that is an upgrade do you? Not talking about the players I am asking you?

I have to think he wouldve been an upgrade this year in the 4th qtr where Kaaya faulted... I have to think this because its all i got dont try to take this away from me like TAd football is trying to do..please

Ok explain to me what game or games he really would have made a difference in and why? Cause I don't see it... Louisville our defense was terrible and our O-Line play was as well. Nebraska took a dump on our defense. Georgia Tech ran it down our throats, FSU we were only in the game because of Kaaya and Duke, UVA O-Line got destroyed, and tonight... seriously we were dead from the jump.

You win..thanx for making my night the worst...oh and ***** you

LMAO relax bro step off the ledge. Good **** Vern always a pleasure.

 

[OBLIVION]

Kaaya is more talented than Williams and Heap COMBINED. I'm not sure he's a ****, but whatever. Everything else, I buy it. I don't even know why, but I buy it.

Go look at Kayyas numbers in the 4th qtr against teams when we were down..

4 int's 1 TD and 42% completion perceentage when the pressure is on

Yea he is more talented than williams but Williams wouldnt have put up those numbers in crunch time.

Williams hasn't shown anything to prove what you just wrote. Not a single thing. Look at his 4th Q against UNC 2 years ago at home. Had a chance to lead a comeback drive- horrible.

Straight up, you should STFU.

You keep hammering Williams for not leading a comeback in a game in which. He didn't come in until around the 8 min mark in the 4th. Played only some garbage time prior to that game. The KSU massacre. Lets just add that he threw the only offensive TD in that **** storm of a game.

Back to the UNC game. He was 9 of 13 for 80 yards. **** that is half the yards of what Morris put up in 3 plus qtrs. Yet he doesn't come in and win the ******* game and you sit here and torch the dude? The series he came in for Morris. Fisch thought it was a smart ideal to run the ball on 3rd and 7. James got a 1yard gain and then dumb *** calls a ******* pass play on 4th down.

Now understand that we were sitting at UNC 26, down by 4. A field goal would have put us within 1 point of them and being that UNC gave us the ball back with 1:47 left on the clock. Then we drove down the field from our own 17 to their 29 with about 45 seconds left on 1st down. There would have been no need to call a pass play. Williams would have never taken the sack and we could have gotten the ball some what closer and set up a nice kick for Wieclaw to make a game winning TD.

Yet you want to blame this man instead of the guy deciding what the gameplan is at this point of a game with a noob QB.

I am not saying Williams is better than Kaaya, but you should not throw this young man under the bus. Without looking at what should have been done to win that game that day.

 

[sabrose]

Its sounds like alot of this could be true. He did lose the team last year and Ice was then rehired. Glimpses of Duke caught on camera earlier in the season showed his frustration with the defensive coaches. Its pretty clear Al knew no matter what he was coming back next year which gave him the green light to go with Kaaya who is the future.Its easy to understand Golden not being able to relate to some of the South Florida kids. Duke had intimated at the beginning of the year that Heaps was the more ready QB at the start of the season. One thing for sure is the status quo cannot remain and changes have to be made. My guess is lower position coaches including a special teams coach because Golden failed miserably at it.Coach D will not be fired as long as Golden stays here.

 

[Realnard86]

Didn't Duke say he was coming to Miami regardless? He came to his dream school and broke records, kinda hard to believe that he'd go another route if he could do it over. Not saying you're lying though...

 

[Beef Stew]

Don't even give a ***** anymore.. You dont believe me ***** you


*Golden did not want Ice on the coaching staff at all.... He initially said no- Why? I dont know. I was told Golden lost the team and ICE was brought in to bring team together

*Your favorite players did tell Valentine I wouldnt come here to Genron and he expressed it to Valentine that is 100% true.

*Players and parents asked Golden if he considered taking Penn State job and he dodged the question and did not answer it. He said things like "what matters is I am here.' Some Players lost all respect for Golden after that.

* Barrow did not get along with Donofrio, and thats what got Golden fired, they had a big fall out and I dont know if a fight happened between coaches but Barrow had to sign some kind of gag order to still get paid his contract thats why he cant talk. this is from a childhood friend of barrow and shannon.

* I asked Duke if he had to do it all over again would he come to Miami..He emphatically said "no"... and neither would a lot of the players is the look he gave me, I asked why he said "Golden". and that is straight from the horses mouth.

* Reason why players wanted Heaps to start over Kayaa? Because Kayaa is a ****, Heaps earned their respect..How? I dont know.

* Players believe favortism was showed for Berrios getting more playing time over Waters, players also believe favoritism was shown that WIlliams didnt regain starting QB position "Kayaa turns into **** when the bullets fly" is what I was told. Williams wasnt given fair shot to earn starting position when he recovered.


*Seniors approached Golden to start Williams tonight and he said no. I got more but i cant even remember it all..i

I'm hurting dog.

 

[z3c The Don]

Kaaya definitely is scared to death on the football field....i see the players see tjat as well.

No way Miami can win with a qb like that

 

[Boarcane]

Golden sucks. Fire Al Golden

 

[Gatorhater]

Not sure if any of that is true, but players didn't want JJ and they insisted on Coker. My issues with Golden is not him doing or not doing what players want, it is not winning. I do believe he lost the players last year and has not gotten them back. But, isn't Vern a nole?

 

[oso4lyf]

This is a boat load of crap. Throwing crap to the wall to make it seem worse than it really is.
