Someone Who Knows Things

Especially tough for a coach that has adapted to the portal by focusing on one position group at a time, like they will all be here in 2030 coming up from the Single A Tarpons...

Dude, Miami football (both college and pro) has been a thatch roof for as long as I can remember. There's a hole one year. It's plugged. But then a leak somewhere else. Rinse and repeat.

Just one time in my lifetime I'd like no leaks and a championship and I'll die restful and happy.

So this was all fun to argue but it’s 2am at the bar and even the tortas are leaving.

Is there a legitimate plan to land a QB or not? Because all this arguing is mute. If we don’t land one, you’re essentially punting on 2025 being a ceiling of 8-4…more likely 6-6 or worse.

8-4 would involve the defense doing a complete 180, Nickel being a stud immediately, the DL taking a gigantic step forward, Daniels turning into a WR1, Trader going for 800+ yards. That’s probably not happening.

The other thing people forget is how healthy we were in 2024. That’s almost guaranteed not to happen next year. What massive contributors did we lose to serious injuries? No one. We lost a Richard for like three games. Alston missed like 4 and he was a rotational piece. Bain missed meaningless non-cons and VT. We were extremely healthy for all intensive purposes.

Mario to the Jets to build their program and take it personal.

Feel like a lot of fans are playing monday morning qb with mendoza now that we are standing here ****ing into the wind. 4weeks ago only a few were chirping for mendoza. Everyone else wanted the flashier more dynamic option. Now all of a sudden mario is a fool and mendoza was the answer.

Mendoza may not have been the answer, but Mendoza was the pivot.

We will take a Portal QB. And I guaran-*******-tee that most people on this board will prefer Mendoza to whoever we take. Whoever that is.

So we'll be the same as the gators this year and the talk will all be about trajectory.

I'm fed up with mediocrity. When Mario was hired, there was lively debate about why it shouldn't take 3-5 years with the portal. We're going into year 4 with the expectation of it being worse than year 3. How is that a rebuild?

Good morning.

Good morning.

Actually, it has been so far. Just not on the Canes front.

Lose UF badly or FSU badly or the first ACC game badly, etc lol. Same ****. Losing badly is bad no matter who it is too. But factually a ND loss has the lowest negative impact, especially since we are almost certainly not entering that game favored, whereas we may be favored in most games at least preseason.

From an ACC/season goals perspective it has a minimal impact, but if we get our doors blown off by ND after losing 3 of 4 to end this season, the vibe around the program is going to get ugly pretty quickly and it essentially turns the UF game into a must-win or else things will definitely get REALLY ugly.

you're a wildman for this one. Johnny B. Badd take.

Only time will tell... I'll own it if I'm wrong. Luke has it between the ears I think he's better than Raiola. I'm not joking either. If we didn't have a mature and experienced offensive line, I wouldn't be as confident as I am right now.

I will never take seriously again anyone diminishing losing to Notre Dame. I don’t give a **** about the conference or the playoff on that one.

know your **** history

Every team is in the same boat as us! They Just need different things as opposed to us...you just focusing on us instead of fsu- needs a QB , so does bama, uga, OSU I believe Howard is done, and nd- Leonard is done,....etc

Every team isn’t like us. That makes zero sense.

Ohio state has Jeremiah Smith returning not to mention multiple high level recruits who are waiting in the wings. With PROVEN coaching. Comparing them to us is lunacy. UGA/BAMA projecting next year are likely better than us. UGA significantly. We don’t have anywhere close to the foundation those teams have. Ryan Williams would be our best player by a mile next year if he were here as a true sophomore at 18.

I have zero clue why you mentioned FSU as well. They were 2-10. That’s a team that shouldn’t even be on our radar. The expectation should be beating them. Nothing more.
