No culture of extra work. No fear of being overtaken by the guy behind you. Need both to change
That ish ain’t easy bro. I used to hate football practice. Now I’m older and love being in the gym.My question is why does it take these players this long to realize they need to start doing this?

Biggest thing I saw when coaching college baseball the last few years. The majority of kids do what they are told. Sure some are lazy. But give them a list of what to do, instruct them...they are fine. But thats what everyone is doing. You need guys to do more if you want to separate yourself. You cant just rely on your skill or athleticism like you did in high school any longer. Extra reps, more film, extra time in the recovery room, more sleep, eating right. Bigger, stronger, faster, smarter, etc etc. And it never stops. You have to keep moving forward because someone else is catching you, outworking you, or better then you to begin with. And they are recruiting someone to take your place if you dont do work. Thats going on both on your team and teams you face. I saw this at the D2/D3/NAIA baseball level. Imagine now a multi billion dollar business with some of the worlds best athletes.
No we shouldnt have lost several of the games we did and yes the coaches and the players are all at fault at different times. But culture and Maturity are going to help us get better but just as important it will keep us at the top once there. Going back to the player led teams comments (which is a coaches dream) when they can just create a practice plan and not have to worry about kids dogging it, drinking before a game, etc. It makes everything so much more productive. Its still going to happen. They are kids. But the frequency or the repeat offenders will be much different.
the entire blue chip ratio conversation is silly when you really look at the context of it. Yes, we've recruited a good amount of blue chippers, but they've been Lorenzo Lingard, Mark Pope, Chaney, Jeremiah Payton, Christian Williams, Jarren Williams, Hightower, Gurvan Hall....The biggest issue in this program has been development, plain and simple. If you can’t develop kids it doesn’t matter what your blue chip ratio is. The only counter to that is hoping for all five stars , which in most cases coaches can’t ***** that up.
People say we have no talent but that makes no sense, no program has one hundred four stars be busts lol. Coaching and developing talent will always matter.
“ Red” : Recruiting , evaluating and development.
That’s ironic lol transferring to that dumpster fire of asu tells you all you need to knowI remember Nesta said his teammates didn’t really want to play football and it was 1 of the main reasons why he left Miami. They were mostly all about playing around.
It's like me and you talked about Friday. It's hard to even focus on scheme etc when you have to teach them what it means to be a football player.The fact that Mario has to have "sit downs" with our 5-star player and his mommy just shows what kind of pathetic state this program is in.
And this is just the **** that makes the paper.
There's even more crap going on behind the scenes.
This dude Manny left us with no talent, no balls, no work ethic, no accountability and no character. The culture within the program was a complete **** show.
Exactly!It's like me and you talked about Friday. It's hard to even focus on scheme etc when you have to teach them what it means to be a football player.
Now we win offseason national championships there. Always winningMiami's national championships were won on the Greentree practice field.
NESTA SAID THAT???I remember Nesta said his teammates didn’t really want to play football and it was 1 of the main reasons why he left Miami. They were mostly all about playing around.
Malcolm Lewis had his ankle destroyed. I'd rather see a head coach showing concern for what could easily have been a career ending injury versus a Nick Saban silently stepping over a player laying on the floor convulsing.not since Al Golden straddled Malcolm Lewis and made sweet love to him in front of America
Any player who discouraged or made fun of someone putting in extra work should be benched for the rest of the season at minimum, and at maximum have their scholarship converted to a non-football type.A thread was started a while ago about a former player at alabama (amari cooper?) visiting practice and seeing an incoming freshman acting a fool, then approached him and said "We don't do that here" and coached him up a bit. Now contrast that with our older players, supposed leaders on the team, seeing X come in as a freshman putting in extra work, then they approach him and say "We don't do that here" and dog him for it.
I remember reading on Canespace in 2010 that a NFL scout said that Miami had the worst coached roster in CFB. Player development has been an issue for while - I remember the vaunted 2008 class looking more impressive in 2008 than they did in 2010.The biggest issue in this program has been development, plain and simple.

Player and character evaluation is critical. And I trust that Mario there
