I feel like I'm watching the exact same team in my Buffalo Bills and Miami Hurricanes. What a disaster of a football season.

Ummm, the players are responsible for not executing, PERIOD. The coaches, however, are responsible for holding them accountable. Although he doesn't want to call players out specifically to the media, he damned sure better be call in them out in the locker room or on the field. If he's not singling out those guys, than no, he not holding them accountable. Nor is he allowing the peers to hold them accountable.

The coaches better start getting into these players asses

I'm tired of seeing our fu#&ing oline men getting thrown around like a bunch off soft *** fat kids. Tell them it's time to perform or get the **** out!

If I'm the coach, Im the one that gets the record by my name each season, and I'm definitely not going to let some lazy *** kids, who have been given the opportunity of a lifetime to play for a top D1 program in a power 5 conference, and get a great education for free...dictate the rest of my career...im telling you, I would be making changes just to make an example, and if the point wasn't getting across, I'd make more.

But, it is absolutely up to the players to execute, and the coaches to hold them accountable

Can’t chew out anyone for not executing when you continue to trot out Rosier, Jones, Mahoney.

Throw in that the OC and QBC aren’t much older than the players and have zero experience at their respective jobs.

The players don’t respect the coaches.

Richt has to purge the offensive staff.
Problem is he won’t bc that would be admitting his absolute failure to put together an actual staff.

Mark RICHt’s offense top to bottom inside and out is a ******* joke

Regarding criticism of UM’s play-calling, offensive coordinator/RB coach Thomas Brown echoed Mark Richt after Tuesday's practice, saying execution was to blame rather than the plays themselves.

“I don’t really care about that, people complain about everything, especially when things aren’t going well,” Brown said. “If we call the same plays and we execute, have 35 points a game, no one would say a word about stuff we’re calling. The biggest thing from a play calling standpoint is our guys executing it - like I said last week it may be an issue of playing the wrong guys, playing too many guys. And if we get to the point we actually line up and execute our offense and we get beat, we can talk about checking the play calls.

“You look around the country, see guys do a bunch of different stuff. Most of what we do is comparable to other people. We believe in what we do, it’s worked for us in the past, worked for us here at Miami already this season. If we coach our guys up and execute it, we’ll be fine.”

Responding to the losses that are beginning to mount and possibly losing the team, Brown said that there are too many guys on the roster that haven't bought into the program, and are not all for the team.

“I told the offense after we got done with practice today there should be two groups of guys on this team - the small group of guys that lead and the rest that follow,” Brown said. “And right now we have too many third party guys who are not leaders and not following. We either need to get rid of those guys or get them on board to help this whole team.”

So, if you’re not a leader or a follower, what does the third party consist of?

“You’re a cancer is what you are,” he said. “So not a good thing... Cancer in the body spreads, takes over everything. So one is enough. I’m not trying to call out individual guys. There’s only two categories you fit in: part of the guys who are leading this team or a guy that’s following. There’s not room for anyone else.”

Although Brown feels the team has more cancers than acceptable, he does believe there are plenty of leaders as well.

"We have more than enough guys that are leaders," Brown said. “We have to learn from the mistakes that we made, move on and don’t turn two losses into three.”

Despite three losses and the Canes now a longshot to win the Coastal division, Brown says the year is not lost.

“The season is not over… lots to play for," Brown said. "Guys are as frustrated as we are, we have to find ways to fix it. The bottom line is we have to play better.”

How did practice go today?

"Practice was not terrible, but there is a standard that we have that we're not living up to," Brown said. "Our guys, young guys in particular, have to understand you can't take reps off."

This is quite rich coming from a guy (and group of guys) who fancy themselves hardass tough guys. Apparently that only works for them when they can lord over a child whose future you capriciously control. When other adults have the audacity to question them, all of a sudden its "you're just complaining."

No, we are imposing on you what you impose upon them. and No, we are talking about the offense now. It isn't rocket science, a legal argument or a surgical technique. This is football. Its a fourth grade thinking level. You don't have any more answers than us.

Do you think LSU or Alabama have 100% of the players executing 100% of the time? The locker room is a direct reflection on coaching. That's every coaches fault on the staff if true. Practice what you preach. You are failing and it is your fault, and you do not seem to be aware that it is your fault and responsibility.

You arent living up to the standard, Mr. Brown and Mr. Richt. You can man up, admit your faults and change, or we will take away your job. Thats the real world that you all seem to be so fond of invoking when speaking to children.

I'm with you. People think yelling and getting into each others faces (or whatever happened) equals turmoil? Anyone here ever play any sports...ever? lol

He is protecting his job. Secondly he and Mark Richt are responsible for training the kids to execute their simple unimaginative offense. Since the offense is so simple I cannot blame the kids for not understanding but the coaches for not preparing them. So it’s still their fault.

Listening a couple times to Brown and Travis Homer they seem to both be calling someone or several out for some reason. I would expect we will see who is not starting or getting much pt against Duke and will know who it is. Hopefully they take the challenge and man up.

I don't know if those are the ones that are the problem. I suspect if people are listening to the "third parties" they are kids who others respect to some degree.

Yeah, and I don't think it's hard to figure out who some of these are...

Brown is a Richt-inspired born again. That's why he's here. The number one qualification to work at UM these days is if you believe in Christ. Millions of dollars paid for a ******* ministry.

Richt isn’t the cancer, if you think that you’re wrong. Richts stubbornness is the problem, but UM knew what they where getting into when they signed him. He said he wants to call plays and they agreed.

Lol. He’s the common denominator. His stubbornness is the cancer. He’s the reason this team isn’t moving forward. Hiring his unqualified son. Not adjusting his 1990s, Peter W, 50/50 - jump ball offense, insisting on calling plays, and insisting on starting Rosier.

He is the cancer.

Hire an elite QB Coach/OC Coord, and this team is 5x better.
 
Perry posted an instagram video of Pope saying "Noles up! f*** the canes"... think Richt isn't the only problem
 
What a disaster. Brown is a f'n clown *** puppet for CMR. I'm sure these kids are rebelling against the scheme behind closed doors. Pulling Kosi was the final nail in the coffin. You can't be a Cane on offense and watch clemson, oklahoma, or ohio state and think yeah our offense is on par with those teams. We need a scheme that caters to our talent but cmr/brown wanna force us to be a power team with a **** qb and below average qb. It's true lunacy and it's getting to become too difficult to watch even for a diehard like me.

Can anyone confirm this? If true, Perry & Pope may be gone pretty soon. Despite how frustrated they both prob are, doing something like this is beyond stupid...

Bet the house that Thomas brown will be gone after this comment. You’re not supposed to do this. You protect the kids always no matter what

Brown should be canned right now, him and Mork are the ones who created this cancer.
Our AD is absolutely useless, he must be busy with a fund raiser or selling raffle tickets.
