So down for that. Please no "CEO" types who aren't good at anything except convincing people that they'll be good recruiters.

I've REALLY got my eye on Scott Frost.

He coached under Chip Kelly for four years, and supposedly Chip was grooming him. Also heard he's salty.

The Oregon spread in Miami would be obscene.

It would be a ballsy hire, but that's what Miami used to be about.

I don't think we have to be a spread team to win. I think it falls more on the fact that we are softer then baby **** as a team. You can score 30 and play good defense and win a ton of games.

Problem is that this staff can't do it.

I don't even think it matters who is on Golden's staff beyond the margins (i.e., guys like Fisch are the difference between a 9-4 year and a 7-6 year) because we're always gonna look timid and scared because that's just the mentality that his players end up having for whatever reason. His idea is always going to be to let the game come to us, instead of UM imposing our will on other teams like our great teams did.

weown, it's funny, but even the really good teams now will give up a lot of points, so basically it's now a race to see who can get to 40 or 50 points and these teams put their foot on the gas pedal and dont let up

Miami, seems to be content with winning the time of possession battle and hoping that 30 points is enough. It's bizarre. Its like the staff doesn't realize its 2014

Except we are awful at time of possession. We won it zero times last year, finishing nearly last in the country in this statistic. Last night, killed again in top.
 
When you go 20 straight times on 3rd down and fail to make 1 first down is shocking and ..............................(you fill in the blanks)

K9 great write-up appreciate your perspective and should precipitate a lot of discussion, thanks.
 
Our team plays timid... that comes from the top. There was improvement on D, but not enough. Where is the aggression?

Offense... blah. Coley has no feel or flow to the game. This is like Pat Nix part 2...
 
Golden has a real problem. Coley has secured a good bit of the 2015\2016 commits. But he is proving to be a fish out of water calling plays. So Golden has to figure out how to retain Coley and get a play caller in. Tough predicament to be in right there.

True freshman with timid and asinine play calling. We were expecting too much from Kaaya, love that kid, he is going to be special. He is going to improve so much over the next two games. But it was too much to ask of him and the staff knew it which explains SOME of the crappy play calling. Notice I said some because some of that ish just can't be explained.

Let me just say, I love my TV. Love it. 1080p goodness. I love it almost as much as my wife and kids. But when we did that BS trick play in the red zone I wanted to smash it, drop kick it, something. Left me feeling:

Bring in Art Briles offense and quit worrying about being an NFL offense. Baylor uses 2-3 RB's and runs for over 3000 yards a year on offense.

Geez, you Miami have losing to Duke twice? Yeah, Cutcliffe is one helluva coach

But yeah, I share your concern. As Franchise as stated, there is a very good chance Golden has lost the players and once that happens, it's all downhill from there....

Great post, k9, and some great follow ups by weown.

Look at the difference in crispness between the.two teams. One looked sharp, crisp and precise. The other looked choppy and scared with no real idea what it wanted to do. Petrino had a first time starter, but he didn't put him in impossible spots. He treated him like any other QB he's ever had. He wasn't trying to run the clock out hoping for a fluke win. Al looked like he just wanted to sneak out with a win.

For all the clowns who kept telling me all we needed to do was run the ball as much as possible, this us why you don't do that. The other teams plays down hill on you and makes it virtually impossible to get anything going.

I said a couple weeks ago that we'd have to run the whole offense and not put Kaaya in 2nd and 3rd and long all night if we expected him to have any success. We did the exact opposite.

For the other clowns who just wanted to keep it close, was this close enough for you? Close enough to a team with new schemes on o, d, and special teams with a brand new QB and missing their best player Parker? Fugg off.

That's another issue, when was the last time UM was truly on the cutting edge and innovative offensively, ahead of the curve? Recently it's about out-talenting people, which is fine if you can do that. But even to that point, UM does have plenty of talent, right now, offensively and it's being squandered

Chise, watch, UM will put up big numbers the next two games( well, hopefully) and then vs Nebraska back on the road against a good defense, well, y'know whats going to happen....

Good write-up, Steve.

I think this hits the nail on the head perfectly:

Bum Phillips once said that the greatness of Don Shula was that,"he could take his and beat yours and take yours and beat his," for as unsavory as Bobby 'Olive Garden' Petrino might be to some, I think at the college level that applies to him. I don't think anyone, as of this moment, would say that about Golden and his staff.

This clown car couldn't coach FSU's roster over Louisville right now, much less our guys.

I really don't know what to hope for at this point, but I know I've seen all I need to see from up top. Guys like Golden aren't prone to change. He's built his whole coaching career on a certain philosophy, and however antiquated the results may render it, he just doesn't know any other way. As another wise man once said, "he is who we thought he was," a stale, passive reactionary with an inability to evolve or stay ahead of the game.

In some ways it's an odd counter to the image he tries to portray, but in other ways it's not, as his insistence on a core of fundamental pillars highlights an inability to adapt and look beyond what he thinks he knows. The act is old, it is played out, and at this point my primary concern is on mitigating the long-term damage.
