The King and Ragone Show with Nesta Silvera

[Maskoff407]

- Nesta love Miami but he had to move on.
- The old staff were trash and way out of their league.
- After the FIU game coaches gave spirit leader award t-shirt
- The nutrition has vastly upgraded since Cristobal arrive. Which makes sense cause a lot of the athletes look small and not physically developed.
- If Mike Rumph would have stayed at American Heritage, Nesta would be playing OG in college. SMH. Surtain made the move for him to DT. They Kinda clowned Rumph for it.

Shoutout to Nesta. I do understand him leaving. It sounds like he just doesn’t believe in some of his teammates. Talked to a couple of people close to him and they told me Nesta felt like a lot of them boys were soft and didn’t care. They said Chantz Williams, A few of the DBs, Bradley Jennings. Also heard somene say that Gurvan Hall had no business playing.

PS: Random - Man, am I happy that TVD is QB now.

I thank Nesta for what he did at Miami and making Miami the crib. But I've heard this story too much from past players who leave and just blame others or coaches. Some of that is definitely true but I think he could have done more on and off the field.

 

[DTP]

Normally, I’d write this sort of thing off as sour grapes but the fact that King agrees with him leads me to believe there’s a lot of truth in what he’s saying. It’s very contrary to what some “insiders” were saying about him.

 

[Kansas Cane]

There's the past (Nesta and King), the present (Mario, staff, and current players) and the future (elite recruiting classes, poaching proven coaches from other programs and W's).

While Nesta's story is interesting, he's the past. Onward for me.

 

[MainLineCane]

I think he underperformed while here. But I wish him well

 

[skyman]

Kinda in line with what we saw from the outside that basically added up to a clown show. Guys doing spirit awards while losing to terrible teams, jumping around on sidelines and HC watching film of guys celebrating plays and ****.. I know @LuCane pointed it out a few times and hated that **** as we all should have lol..

 

[grover]

Mario asked him to leave.

I am sure he had his reasons. But I can't help being a big fan of Nesta.

 

[Empirical Cane]

I don't mean this to come across as questioning King's statement (or Nesta), but it just seems odd to me that he would leave when UM FINALLY has a HC and a structure in place that demands 100% full effort. Nesta, for all of his limitations, always looked like a guy to me that gave it 100% every time he was out there.

I know he is maybe a bit undersized by Mario's standards, but surely one would think Nesta's competitive spirit would be welcomed to stay on the team, especially with the lack of depth at DT.

His story and rationale aren't making much sense.

Now, if he saw the writing on the wall or if he was told outright to seek different opportunities.....

Does any of this surprise anyone? Mario has a lot more house cleaning to fix the situation.

p.s., that comment about Patke's stupid *** spirit award tee-shirt -- after losses no less -- makes me want to

I'm not asking anyone to dislike him. But there were certainly "issues" under Manny and different "issues" under Mario. It's incorrect for people to be dismissive of what insiders have reported in the past, just because Nesta is spinning things his way on this particular show.

I'm not disputing the core of his objections with the coaching, effort, and overall team production. But while Silvera and King may have the same complaints, they expressed their concerns in completely different ways. There have certainly been a lot of things that Nesta has said or done that have undermined the effective communication of his issues. And I'll just leave it at that.

[The canesman]

Never reached or played to his hype.

 

[Juancane]

This is his 2nd HC change

Yea i think both are right. Its weird that as the coach you would think would demand the most would come in he would leave. But sometimes players don't make the best decisions and/or sometimes you need a change and especially for your last year. Maybe try something new. Can't blame him for it. Hope he does well...he certainly seemed to give his most here.

 

[Hegemon]

Not buying it.

 

[KANE]

Mario asked him to leave.

I wouldn’t be surprised if he did. Mario wants disciplined guys up front. I know I’ve seen Nesta “doing his own thing” upfront more than a few times this year. Wit that interview, it makes perfect sense. He’s trying to get stats to increase his “value”. So he’s taking chances. Sometimes he guesses and makes plays, more often, he guesses wrong.

This! We were fuccin WWE. A gah**** clown show. A circus…****

 

[The Sphinx]

Gotta apply the old 50/50 rule here: half of what Nesta is saying is probably true and spot on, and the other half is self-serving spin. Either way, all of this just makes me despise Manny Diaz all the more. Incompetent fvck.

A competent HC does not allow the locker room to spin out of control the way it did. I truly believe that Nesta under Mario and Salave'a would elevate his talents to a whole different level. Wish he would stay, but sometimes a change of scenery and a breath of fresh air is best for all.

Still? That thing was beeping in the Podcast when Ragone talked about the new nutrition program
