Lot's of people will look silly

Golden and D'Onofrio took Temple from 117 to the 40's in one year running a similar defense. You saw his defensive tackles grow from 270lbs to over 300lbs and one of his DTs (Pot Roast Knighton) get his weight in order over that year and the defense was vastly improved.

 

[Miami82]

When Miami is a top 10 defense. I know all the issues we've had this year, but I can assure you that coach Golden and staff are well aware. Calling for D'Onofrio head is premature considering the personel on that side of the ball. Everyone is entitled to their opinion and I understand the frustration , but I'm willing to bet the house next year you'll see vastly improvement in all areas.

Golden gives every indication that he's a loyal person, don't expect him to be loyal to Miami, but disloyal to his long time friend. What you see is what you get.

There's lots of work to be done, and a top 10 defense may not happen till year four, however top 25 is not out of the question.

You are all over the map here... won't get to top 10 until maybe year 4, top 25 isn't out of the question next year????


Unless we get some big bodies through JR college transfers next year we are looking at more of the same next year. We will be lucky to break under top 80 defense.

Miami will have a top 20 defense this next season. Take that to the bank. Getting bigger, stronger, and faster along with having g a year under their belt while also having to defend our offense all offseason is going to pay huge dividends.

Scheme is not the problem. The 22 true Sophomores or younger in the defensive two deep was the problem. A JV defense isn't going to dominate varsity even with a U on the side on their helmet. Fans had unrealistic expectations and then took their frustration out on Coach D. Coach D will expose the idiots for what they are...

as much as I'd love to believe this I just can't. there is more to it than just youth

And what D-1 CFB program do you work for? Or are you running an NFL defense? LOL!

 

[CanesAreAble]

One other thing. I don't think it's a given we play at the same offensive pace next year. That was a conscious decision by Golden this year, not necessarily indicative of the style he wants to play.

 

[dolpterry]

Hope you are right, but the same players making the same mistakes all year long does not give me much hope. The lack of pass rush the entire year was a killer and our only DE hope Chick seemed to get worse as the year progressed. We may not be the worse defense in football next year but inside the top 50 may be only a pipe dream.

 

[gogeta4]

dont see this d cracking top 25 ...even with influx of new talent...

Our d-Coord in my opinion doesnt have a clue..and is too passive/predictable to field that sort of defense.....Chickillo isnt going to magically grow quick twitch reflexes, Green wll likely be the same....I'm looking forward to development of Mccord/Hamilton/Hoilett/Pierre though...

But quite honestly i dont like the way he runs the d..too much subs..never ready pre snap..or showing a look and changing...guy is waayy to Reactionary..worse than Randy...which is wierd since he is coming from 3-4 philosophy that should be aggressive.

Main problem is...he and Golden hone their craft a bit under Al Groh.....Al Groh's d has been BAD in the ACC for years..and it recently just got his A$$ fired.....dude need to hit some coaching camps/nfl camps hard in the offseason.

Dumb huh? we saw the same **** last year with this defense and the problems on 3rd down are systemic. there is a bigger problem than youth. I can tell exactly whats about to happen on every **** 3rd and long.

D'No gets worked by opposing OCs over and over again. anyone who thinks it is just youth is an idiot

Shannon was able to produce better results with Glenn Cook, Romeo Davis and Sam Shields on the field. That's like playing with 8 guys on D. The point is a good DC would have shown improvement from first to last game. Nobody can give evidence to N'Odfrio doing such work. His side of the ball was as spasmatic and confused on Saturday as they were in BC. Try to 'splain that without a buttload of excuses. Can't be done.

go look at temple's defensive ranks from when they got there to when they left.... i don't know what more evidence you want.

And we could use that logic back on you. Most fans would love to believe what you are saying. It just isn't framed in reality.

Basically our village idiots are saying Coach D won't build a great defense with South FL talent even though he did so with no name talent at Temple. These are the same fans who bashed the coaches for bringing in Olsen Pierre who stated "What do they think they're recruiting at Temple" but yet he's turned out to be ahead of the rest? These are also the same type of fans who bashed Butch while he was building the best football team in CFB history? Some people have zero vision...

 

[Picksix]

What the 1st string defense will probably look like next season. Look's like we lose nobody? Oh that's because there was 22 true Sophomores or younger in the two deep this season. Duh!!!

DE Chick
DT Porter
DT Pierre
DE McCord

LB EJ
LB Kirby
LB Perryman
LB Paul

CB Gunter
Safety Bush
Safety Jenkins
CB Howard

 

[ACKCANE]

Some delusional people here ... Worst Defense in the nation to top 25??? and keeping everyone that sucked. Ya'll sound like FSU fans now.

What's crazy is that's essentially the same starting lineup...the FOLLOWING year. Replace Porter with a guy like Hamilton (if he makes a Pierre-like move) or Keith Bryant (if he's in shape). It's the same lineup in 2014.

How 'bout we just go off the info and results that we have? Is that simple enough for your side of the village idiot square? Our D sucked this year. Sucked on day 1 and sucked on Saturday. I can only go off what my eyes have seen. As for vision, no doubt you are a member of the pom-pom squad that has been yapping about "we're back", or whatever crapola them has been tossed about year after year for the past 9 years or so. How many times have we heard that?

Excuses are for 5 year olds that can't decipher the real world. The real world as is stands today is our defense didn't improve at all. A good coach would have shown some improvement,but simpletons like you can't fathom that. You cling to myth's like "South Fla talent" as if it cures all. We no longer have all the elite players in our pocket. Wasn't the Northwestern gang supposed to be elite? What happened? Don't answer,I don't want to read drivel.

Other teams have great D's without SFla talent. Guess what? They have better coaches too. See how that works. Did I make it easy enough for you?

Can't argue with facts. Fact is we had one of the worst D's in all of college football. I am sure there are teams out there that had less talent and were as young but still weren't as pathetic as this group was. Chaos and panic were our two most consistent players. Our best defender last year (Chickillo) actually regressed.

But you want us to forget all facts and bank on it that we will have a top 20 defense. laff laff laff. Picksix dun picked too many boogers. Your brain is leaking.

 

[JHallCanes]

One other thing. I don't think it's a given we play at the same offensive pace next year. That was a conscious decision by Golden this year, not necessarily indicative of the style he wants to play.

I think this is an important point.

I don't. What is going he going to do?

"Hey Jedd, Morris is throwing for 3,500 and Duke is getting 6 per carry. Let's tone it down, do less on offense."
