Hanging your hat on 10 wins

[RightSaidFred]

So many of you are trying to disguise the stench of that **** sandwich we made for ourselves by saying “hey, if I told you we’d win 10 games in the spring….blah, blah, blah”.

I don’t care that we got 10 wins vs 8 or 7 or 9 or whatever. What’s the difference now? A less ****** bowl to watch us underperform in without Cam? Anyone gonna remember it a few seasons from now? You still gonna wear your ‘24 10 wins! Canes Tshirt?

The box score brigade won’t understand this, but how you got the wins matters.

We still lose to teams we shouldn’t. We out-coach nobody. We out scheme nobody. We say we are every teams season so they give their all against us, yet we do that to nobody. This means we still operate below expectations. We never play above our pay grade. We still play stupid, bad penalties, bad errors at awful times, just dumb football. We don’t come in as the underdog and win. We barely scrape by as the favorite, or lose as the favorite. That’s an ugly 10 wins, it’s meaningless and doesn’t feel good.

Well coached teams should get better as the season goes on. We **** our pants. Says a lot.

We had everything in our reach and threw it all away.

If we had gotten 3 more portal DBs this offseason, we'd have won this game, and nobody would be complaining about a thing.

Seasons are made in the offseason, in recruiting and in the portal.

Yeah what was I thinking? Its who Miami is.

plus we heard all offseason how trash our secondary was ...

 

[Golsen82]

It’s the way we lost those two games and the fact the offense saved our bacon in 2-3 other games. Never thought the D would be so laughably bad.

Down 35 to 10 vs Cal. SMU blew them out today

 

[MiamisMoperiestMopes]

which one of those you think is building something?

ASU/IU because they have guys who can coach and a new commitment financially. CU has taken a surprising step forward, if Deion stays they are starting build momentum but will be fleeting probably.

Are we building something? Because without heisman level QB play from our 1 year rental our season has been over for a while.

Yea i think we are in a better position than all 3 going forward

 

[WndyCityCane]

With this schedule 10-2 is a disappointment.

Sad.

or unrealistic expectations

Beating teams you are supposed to beat is not unrealistic. You think beating Syracuse was an unrealistic expectation?

Cignetti is. He wins everywhere he goes.

 

[Juanka]

Cignetti is. He wins everywhere he goes.

I googled him. It's true.

 

[gordonsolie]

This is 2017 all over again. But its worse because we had a generational QB this year.

No we didn't. Yall overuse the word generational. Cam is great but he's not a generational talent. If he was he would have been in the league and not playing for us this year.

 

[Negro-Wan Kanobi]

If anyone had told me we'd win 10 games and boat race UF and FSU and I'd feel like **** at the end of the season I'd have said, "no chance." I feel like ****

This question was asked in a poll on here.

@JD08 help me out

 

[mavericksouth]

Cignetti is. He wins everywhere he goes.

Yep. That's who you entrust your program to. Someone who wins everywhere. He's a prick and ****y but these guys in this mold win football games. Grunts are not champions. They lack intelligence. After all, they are grunts. Mario is a grunt

when i saw they had the number one passing offense, i knew we were up against it ... guys we knew the secondary was a huge weakness ... and it played to that fact ... didn't forsee the other positions being so subpar

It is what it is….we suck

2017 was more enjoyable. Tell me I'm wrong.

We had an NFL secondary.

 

[caneholic88]

This was 2017 all over again but with a Big12 offense and defense..

 

[canes_aaron]

2017 At least we made the acc champ game

 

[RVACane]

Kenny Dillingham 10-2 in second year. Deion Sanders 9-3 in second year. Cignetti 11-1 in 1st year.

Many Diaz 9-3 in year 1 at Duke

 

[MiamisMoperiestMopes]

Yea i think we are in a better position than all 3 going forward

Maybe. Maybe not. We apparently require a massive talent advantage to compete in the ACC because we certainly have no coaching advantage.

Many Diaz 9-3 in year 1 at Duke

I wasn’t going to go there because I think Manny isn’t very good but he did better record wise than I would have thought. Deion has some cachet where he could catch lightening in a bottle.
