Coach L can’t survive much longer this is ridiculous

 

[Canefan73]

Love and appreciate everything coach L has done for the U. But it's time.

HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA

It's time to bring in whoever is the Columbus High School Basketball coach is to save this program.

 

[Hufftwoseven]

Can we cancel the basketball season and use that NIL in the portal for football?

 

[FtLaudCaneFan]

From Final 4 to the Dumpster. This should and does not happen in Elite Programs.

Not sure if you were being faceitous or serious, but it's funny you mention him. I think Coach Moran (Columbus HS coach) would make a great assistant coach at Miami. Has ties locally and abroad. Before landing at Columbus he was flying all over the world for camps. One of the better player development guys in the country. Wouldn't be the least bit surprised if a D1 head coach snags him up in another year or two.

 

[We’reBackCane]

Unacceptable. Program has fallen off a cliff.

 

[King of Allapattah]

We've officially hit rock bottom. Can't fathom anything being lower than this, considering where this program was 2 year ago. I'm pulling that Coach L can turn this thing around, but it's not looking good. Program just seems to be in a daze. From players to coaches, no one seems to have a grip on things.

Well, being mercenaries is nothing new...Just pays a whole lot better and the chance of death is much reduced compared to the Wild Geese of old...

I was actually being serious. We have a lot of GREAT local talent that we let get away. By local, not just Miami, but Palm Beach, Broward, and so on.

Not our head guy, but maybe look at him. Plus, UM takes a lot of que from the alumni there. If we're being honest, it's a pretty impressive group of alumni.

Edit - We have 5 players in South Florida in the top 50 players in the country. We didn't come close with any of them.

You're preaching to the choir here. I've been saying it for years that we should be doing a better job of recruiting in Florida. Since about 2010, our state has been producing McDonald's All-Americans and top 100 prospects at a high clip. This is no longer just a football state.

Post in thread 'UM must recruit Florida HS Basketball'

Mar 31, 2021

Here are some in-state players from the last 10 years who have had success at the next level after playing high school basketball in Florida, but who didn't sign with Miami coming out of HS. Please note, this list doesn't include some of the 4 & 5 star prospects who haven't found success yet and the countless number of out-of-state prospects who played at the basketball factories (IMG, Montverde, Rock, etc.).

There's no reason why Coach L and staff shouldn't be prioritizing the state of Florida in their recruiting. The proof is in the pudding.

Is he gone yet??

We may only win another game or 2 all season, and then I don't really think it's feasible he stays.

I can't see any path where he keeps his job. He'll "retire" at the end of the season. Coach L seems like a great guy and I hate that it'll end this way, but it's gotta be done.

He will have gutted this program by then... he needs to step down now.

Losses to the mighty powerhouses of Charleston Southern AND Mount Saint Marys. Completely sad. I have been to multiple events at the Mount and the best one was by far a WWF Wrestling event with Rowdy Roddy Piper as the main event.

theyre giving free tickets to the FSU game if you renew your football tickets lol.
