ESPN goes scorched earth on UM Coaches

[JHallCanes]

That’s all good and all but ESPN doesn’t go “scorched earth”

The whole network is too low T unless your standards of “scorched earth” are incredibly low

Dudes nickname is “Booger”….i do not really care what he says.

have to admit though it is a nickname that sticks

No warnings. No pleading down.

Get this guy outta here.

and completely unfair when juxtaposed against their takes on the ighty $EC and B1G.

Also true

God ******* dammit @Salt ! First we lost to GT and now we got you making these dad jokes?

You're under arrest!

@JHallCanes You're a gentleman and a scholar. Your bench press posts also make you a philosopher.

 

[Coach Macho]

Did they go scorched earth on Cam Ward for not taking easy throws or missing the side of a barn during the entire first half?

What is wrong with some of you people? This program has been irrelevant for 20 years, save a couple weeks in 2017. Yet here we are, 9-1, controlling our own destiny with regard to winning the ACC and making the playoffs and many on this board are unhappy. I'm not saying losing is cool or ok. It stinks. However that doesn't mean we are set to spend eternity in the bowels of heII because we lost to a mediocre GT team by 5 points in their house when they executed a perfect gameplan and we did not. It happens. And yes, it's happened to us all too often over these past 20 years.

Reading some of these posts makes me think some of you are the type to complain in the middle of receiving fellatio (that's a BJ for the ignoramuses out there) rather than sitting back, relaxing and enjoying. I was once told that "There's no such thing as a bad BJ, just some that are better than others." Ya know what? That person was right. Same concept applies here - there are no bad winning seasons, just some are better than others. Thing is, we don't know how this one will turn out. Will it be 12-2 with a first round bow out in the playoffs? Will it be 9-4 with the wheels coming off the bus? 15-1 and a natty? We all want the last scenario.....sort of like we all want the most epic of BJs, so let's sit back, relax, and enjoy.

I didn't say it wasn't. I said it was unfair when juxtaposed against the two darlings of E$PN.
"and" implies "in addition to" as in I agree with what I was replying to.

Don’t be so sure there’s not a plug at the network that is pushing this narrative getting the talking heads on it for some bulletin board material and motivation.

This is great news. It may not work but it’s better than nothing in the off week to give some kind of motivation or urgency in the locker room. Can’t possibly hurt

Mario said it in the beginning of the season that these guys need to be careful. Same people singing your praises now might not be there when you lose.

Huh? You're arguing with yourself, i was agreeing with you

 

[cowboycane]

Did they kept that same energy when Georgia lost. Or LSU got dog walked? Or how about Bama loosing to Vandy and etc.

Miami vs the world

What have we done in the last 20 years that would force ESPN to cut through their SEC bias and give us any benefit of the doubt?

Love us or Hate us but please never just like us

I thought they were on the U isn't relevant anymore train.

They rip into Lane Kiffin the offensive genius scoring 17 points and losing to 3-6 Kentucky?

Oh wait TrumpyCane forgets Kentucky is in the mighty SEC

The criticism was that Cristobal teams "always look unprepared" and "poorly coached." Kiffin has shown many times he can coach circles around most coaches. UGA has far more talent (composite total: 1001, #2 overall) than Ole Miss (801, #20) , but Kiffin just took them behind the woodshed.

The GT game had an extra spotlight on it because of how last year's game ended with one of the worst coaching blunders of all time. One would think Cristobal would have the team ready to erase that memory. And there were also other losses last year where UM had a sizeable talent edge. But compare that to Ole Miss in 2023. 11-2, only losses to #2 UGA and at #13 Bama. Then Ole Miss beat #10 PSU in the Peach Bowl. Not one "slip-up" last year against an inferior team. Even going back to Cristobals best season ever as a HC, 2019. Oregon blew their chance at the playoffs with a loss at Arizona State. Talent level between those teams wasn't close.

You mention Ole Miss's loss to UK. Look at the composite talent level between Ole Miss and UK. Ole Miss and UK have about the same amount of talent- Ole Miss got beat by an equally talented, but underperforming UK squad. Now look at the difference between UM and GT. MIami talent composite is 868 (#14). GT's is 702 (#46). Miami has FAR more talent than GT. Once again, UM lost to a much less talented team. Given the stakes, I have zero problem with McFarland's take, and there isn't a need to mention Kiffin/Ole Miss because Kiffin has established that he frequently has his teams prepared and well-coached. When he does get outcoached, it's surprising. On the flip side, if/when Cristobal ever outcoaches another HC, I think we can all agree it that is very likely that **** hath frozen over.

They aren't wrong. We looked good in non conference and like absolute **** in every ACC game

100% You spend all that money on DLine, MLB and Safety and they can’t stop a team everyone knows is only running the ball. It is coaching malpractice. You want the world to call you a playoff team and you can’t beat a team with QB who can’t throw the ball. Hopefully, they change things up a this is a bump in the road and growing pains and we handle business next two weeks. If we lay another egg against WF gloves will off. Wake is a huge game for this coaching staff and team

We lost to a team with a QB who couldn’t throw a pass. Just stop, no excuses.

Where did I make an excuse? Are you confusing my post with someone else's?

All we can hope for is that Louisville dog walks UK in a couple weeks. Even then it won’t affect their SEC slurping.

Huh? You're arguing with yourself, i was agreeing with you

I'm a little slow plus I just switched to Sanka, have a heart.
