No, many of us are older, seen this program at a high level, have successful careers and know what the “thing” is supposed to look like. And what I mean by “the thing” is knowing what leadership, a good culture, and a high performing organization looks like. Can’t read it in a book or an HBR article and deploy it...That only comes with experience and it goes waaaaaay beyond football. It’s the exact same way in business.

“Not falling for it” means we aren't reacting off emotions, the hype train or tweets. We all saw 6-7 and we are rational and smart enough to wait for empirical data - or as LuCane says “evidence” to inform our opinions. This is how it’s done in business. Leadership cuts across all disciplines, sports included.

I don't want to hear about the probation era. I grew up in the late Coker/Shannon era. I remember the Louisville stomping at Papa John's like it was yesterday.

Think we're talking about different probation eras. I grew up in the 80s under a completely different model of "savage."

Not sure what there is to fall for this time. We brought D$ back down from the hype stratosphere and just talked about things that may or may not happen and why. It was a realistic conversation, I thought.

If you "fell for it" previously, you're a moron. It's football coach speak. None of it matters in the least bit. What exactly did you "fall for"? Manny's tweets? And this falling...what did it result in? Divorcing your family and getting a condo closer to UM so you can stake out the Hecht center with a countdown clock until the season started? What are the repercussions of "falling for it" that you refuse to get into bed with this time? Did you cry in the shower after losses? Beat your wife and dog?

It was a coach, talking. It's what they do. But he didn't win, and that's all that matters. "Not falling for it" like some of y'all were tricked into buying a timeshare or something LMAO. Simple minded weirdos.

What I was saying is if u grew up in the probation era u at least got to see the Hurricanes be dominant. 90's babies Hurricane fans have it witnessed nothing but poverty.

I see. You got the 2000-2003 era, but I get it. Anyone who was born in late 90s and is a bigtime fan today deserves a tip of the cap.

Because you're essentially conceding the reality that MIA fans are mostly all fair-weather fans..correct?

I am. I shared the home schedule this morning and got replies like "man, you're too loyal." Eh? You pick a team as a kid and root for them. That's how it goes. If they end up sucking for 20 years, you breathe that in as part of your life. The teams I root for in pro sports suck to really no end. I can't even see light at the end of those tunnels.
 
People always talk about the oline but you have to factor in lashlee’s system which doesn’t give up many sacks AND King’s ability to evade pressure and with his quick release. All of that helps the oline

Relax and be an adult in the room for once; no need for all this nonsense and definitely no need to disrespect me when I answered your question in a rational and respectful way. You've lost your sense of reality and have gotten too wrapped up into your avatar. You’d never, ever, ever address another human being that way in person over something so meaningless, so why all the internet thuggery here?

I didn’t fall for anything the first time. I always wait on data and evidence to inform my opinion. It’s what I do in my profession. I was just trying to clarify what LuCane meant on the podcast and what others have been trying to convey time and time again on this site.

So far, Manny and this culture is all about “pomp and circumstance” - however many of us that’s hace been around the block is “waiting” to see positive results more from a football standpoint.

I am a Dolphins and Tottenham fan. That means long stretches with ZERO reward for fandom.

Loyalty is an admirable trait, Lu.

Both in sports and in relationships.

You don’t want someone who you constantly worry is going to be unfaithful.

Phucking hilarious!!! Manny should ban baker from social media, but the spin master probably likes it.

Those numbers are ok by Miami standards. Certainly nothing to brag about publicly. Could easily have Clemson or UGA troll him with better numbers. Dabo: "You're right Blake. Numbers don't lie. Hey defensive recruit, come to Clemson where we had the #1 scoring defense in the nation."

Baker needs to shut his trap after some of most embarrassing defensive calls I saw last year in critical situations. Less tweeting. More film please.

Agreed.

I started seriously following the Canes in 2009.

I missed the glory days.
