Player Led Practice

Always thought he was a good person and teammate. I've been critical of his play. I thought he played his best game as a Hurricane in yesterday's game. He's really growing on me as a player now. Still has those 2-3 plays a game where it seems he is right in position to make the tackle and the qb or rb just runs right by him. It's not like they juke him or make any crazy moves, they just run straight by him.

Coach Strong got some things he's gotta get cleaned up on Corey...but his passion is there along with his effort.

Let's be real. Miami has has a dysfunctional and broken culture for a long time. Mario knows what is needed to elevate this program and he will not come off that. Not one inch. There will be casualties along the way. Book it.

Thank you for saying this. Absolutely.

The fact we have people trying to judge Cristobal, Gattis, Steele or any new-look aspects of this program after eight quarters is braindead.

Going into the season Miami was 28-24 since Richt's 10-0 start in 2017 and the Canes have their third head coach in five years.

Depth ain't where it needs to be and culturally you have kids on this team who just did one to three years under Manny Diaz.

This won't be a Mario Cristobal program—legitimately—until the 2024, to buckle the eff in and let's see where it all goes, trusting that Miami finally has a legit alpha in charge of the program for the first time since 2000.

NGL..I’m convinced these slow starts gotta be a gameday atmosphere thing..it has to be playing a role. Especially in these home games

I thought the same thing, especially with how empty it was Saturday. It was honestly so dead.

Most people likely won’t want to admit it, but it absolutely has an effect; maybe it won’t always, but when it’s THAT dead? Yeah. Once the players started to wake up toward the end of the 2nd quarter, we started seeing what Miami should’ve done the entire game to a team like that.

I am deeply curious to see what the environment at A&M does for our guys at the start. Will it help them get fired up or will it be too much and we come undone early?

I've said many times that Al could've been a championship coach here if hadn't fallen in love with his BFF.

A DECADE LATER he is just NOW recovering from that failure. If he does a good job with the Irish D, he might take over if the Yuckeye can't turn it around. Truth is, if Al has learned, he really could be a good coach up north, but has he learned the scorching lesson about blind loyalty to a friend....?

People don't take the emotion out of it & understand where he went wrong. #1 nodnofrio #2 S&c. Everyone says it was his system no d was running. Not true at all. His biggest flaw he'd have to correct(which he's a pretty art dude so I'm sure he could)is how he fills out the staff.

It was more than that though. You'd get your *** mollywhopped. First time you didn't make your times your unit would run it over. Second time that side of the ball. Third time entire team & if it got to that point it was goin down. You wasn't gonna make it outta that gasser etc before **** was dealt with. On the practice field,on the tennis courts,in the weight room, it didn't matter. Maybe it's viewed by some as toxic but it was a form of communication we all understood & respected.

Communication must be understood. To be effective.

Nothing communicates like an old-fashioned, country-***-whipping.

Did Ladson get much burn today? Don’t think he was targeted.

If he caught anything, it was during the last minute of the game. It looks like it's Restrepo, Brashad, Keyshawn and Redding. Romello is making a little noise.

From Manny on The Athletic:

After playing drop free against Bethune-Cookman, Miami did drop a pass against Southern Miss (Knighton). Xavier Restrepo played 29 snaps and didn’t start against Southern Miss but caught all six of his targets for 72 yards to lead the Hurricanes. Redding was targeted five times and had three catches for 40 yards. Key’Shawn Smith had a 35-yard touchdown catch and was targeted four times, catching three balls for 49 yards. Brashard Smith was third on the target share list with four catches on four targets for 52 yards but was last in snaps among the six receivers who played. Frank Ladson was never targeted on 26 snaps and Romello Brinson had one target — an 18-yard catch to set up a touchdown run right before the half.
