To those still making excuses for D'Onofrio

I like to think there's not one human being left still supporting him. Golden, yes, but if there is still a D'Onofrio supporter in this world, they either are related to him, or escaped the facility that was monitoring them and have subsequently missed a dose of meds.

I can't figure out how anyone supports one or the other. If golden didn't like the cb ten yards off the Los, it wouldn't happen. If golden didn't want lb's covering wr's it wouldn't happen. If golden wanted more of his less athletic seniors on the bench, it would have happened. If there is a problem with Doritos, it is a problem with gondle. I'm not defending Doritos, but goldnes is the root of the problem. Golden is either too stubborn to change, or doesn't know better. Either way it doesn't look good moving forward. Get used to 9-10 win seasons.

Start watching the games, the D line can't tackle or get after the QB, he has all day to throw the ball. Blame the coaches for not getting talent on the line, then I agree 100%.
We still have posters who believe we are this bad on defense because of talent.

Bullshiz with the talent excuse. We may not have All Americans but we have grown men with talent and capabity. Our linemen are asked and told to things they are not good at doing or incapable of doing. It's scheme and coaching, zero question. Yes, we have talent issues, but no excuse for every team to have career days against us. Zero. None.


Could't have said it any better myself. Well done Jefe
 
So many of you only see things in black and white. You can't give any credence to the lack of talent on this defense because you feel like that will take attention away from your hate for D'onofrio and the scheme. The scheme that Miami employs is without doubt flawed and not the best system for the type of athletes that Miami has in its backyard. But to make a statement like "we returned 9 starters and most of our two deep" and try to play it off like it was a huge disappointment is laughable and very transparent. When those returning starters and much of the two deep include 31, 34, 59, 51, 22, 30 there is a serious problem with the talent level, especially when you are trying to run this system.

The only solution is to replace the DC/scheme AND upgrade the talent level. It seems that the latter is being taken care of when you look at the commit list. Now we just have to pray Golden can take care of the other half of that equation.

You are wrong guy. None of us are saying we have superior talent on defense. We are saying we have enough talent to not give up 500 yards to garbage offensive teams every game like VT, Pitt, WF, etc.

No, I am right. You obviously don't read entire posts or you are retarded. I am not interested in beating Duke, WF, or VT. I am interested in beating FSU, Bama, OSU, etc. If you had read my entire post you would have seen that I said that the DC must be replaced AND the talent level needs a serious upgrade. I don't care about winning the coastal and losing to Clemson or FSU every year. Why is that so hard for you to understand.

Thanks for being an idiot. You criticize my post by doing the exact same thing you're criticizing my post for. I said you are wrong because according to you noone is admitting we have a lack of talent. My response was specifically in regards to your statement about what other people think of our talent. So like a ****** would, or someone who did not read my entire post, you completely misunderstood what I was saying.

Now back to the topic. Most of us understand 100% we don't have big time talent. We are not going to win national titles with our current talent. We are not going to stop FSU level teams from having their way with us (Do you understand this or was that difficult for you?). So since you say we only see in black and white, tell me why we need a championship level team to avoid giving up 500 yards per game to garbage offenses. Offenses like Pitt, WF, and Virginia (Are you still following? Do I need to slow down?).

You say people can't give credence to the lack of talent, even though we already have, because we think it will hurt our argument about how dnofrio and scheme sucks. I say people are so busy blaming our talent to hide the fact that our scheme sucks (which you did say as well). People seem to think we just want to hate on dnofrio or think we have championship talent when in reality we just don't understand how many of you find it excusable for us to give up 500 yards per game to garbage offenses in year 3. If we don't have the talent by year 3, even with the NCAA crap, to stop GARBAGE OFFENSES from regularly putting up 500 yards of offense on us and 30-40 points every game, then the problem is more than a talent issue (as you also said. Problem is you got butt hurt because I said you were wrong about the fact that we dont give credence to the lack of talent). Even if we don't have the talent to beat duke, we have the talent to not average giving up 500 yards every game to bad offenses that get owned by scrub teams (like Marshall) with less talent than us.

Nice try. Maybe the staff should offer you a scolarship as well as you backpedal. Yet again you didn't read. Try one more time and concentrate this time. When you are done copy and paste the part where I stated that "no one is admitting we have a lack of talent". I will be interested to see that. While you are searching for that you will also not see anywhere that I said we dont have the defensive talent right now to play with Duke, UVA, or WF. You remind me of Nights the way twist (change) people's posts to fit your argument.

I don't know how much more clear I could have been. I stated that if we had a qualified DC we would be playing in the ACCCG next week. I also stated that we would get smashed in that game as well as in games against other elite teams. I want to beat elite teams and until we make the necessary changes to the staff AND talent level we won't be able to do that. It seems like we are arguing the same points but because you either didn't read the entire post or don't comprehend it very well you decided to pick a fight. I am not butt hurt, as you put it for two reasons. I wasn't wrong and because the whole point of your argument is based on something I never wrote. Does this make sense to you now or do I need to slow down? Now then....who is the idiot or ******? I think the answer is clear.

Does this make sense to you now or do I need to slow down? Now then....who is the idiot or ******? I think the answer is clear.

Lets try this again. You said (in reference to those hating on dnofrio and scheme) that, "You can't give any credence to the lack of talent on this defense because you feel like that will take attention away from your hate for D'onofrio and the scheme."

Definition of the word credence as per the webster dictionary - belief that something is true

Interpretation to those who see black and white according to you: They refuse to believe that the lack of talent is the reason our defense sucks, because it would take attention from the their hate for dnofrio.

Problem: The refusal to believe in a lack of talent = people saying they refuse to admit we have a lack of talent.

Tell me that's wrong. If I misunderstood what you wrote, then fine, but you wrote it and that's how it reads.

As far as you not saying we don't have the talent to beat Duke UVA Pitt. The whole point of MOST people's argument is not about whether we should or should not beat them (please backpedal now, because I never said anything about beating them). The argument is we have enough talent to not get embarrassed by them and give up 500 yards. My statement is on the premise of giving up ridiculous yards and scoring to bad offenses which is what most are complaining about. Most people are not complaining that FSU put up yards, because we don't have that talent level.

You said since we see in black and white and can't give credence to the lack of talent and then you say, "But to make a statement like "we returned 9 starters and most of our two deep" and try to play it off like it was a huge disappointment is laughable and very transparent. When those returning starters and much of the two deep include 31, 34, 59, 51, 22, 30 there is a serious problem with the talent level, especially when you are trying to run this system. When the argument is about how bad our defense is, not whether or not we have the talent to win games, but to have the talent to not look like a joke against scrub offenses, then you are saying we are not willing to believe we dont have the talent to not be embarrassed by scrub offenses.

I think you were not clear in what you were trying to get across. My point in telling you that you were wrong in the first place is that we all understand we don't have elite talent, but we have enough talent to not get embarrassed by scrub offenses exactly as I said in my first post which you still seem to not understand. You might not care about beating Duke, VT, Pitt, or winning the coastal, but until we get back to making them the scrubs they are, we can't hope to beat FSU, Bama, Ohio St, and get national titles. They are an indicator that something is wrong here (as you said), but we are arguing the talent level, while not elite, is not the reason we are giving up 500 yards to scrubs.

You want to continue with the insults, that's fine. I did not start it. It's obvious you took it personally when I said you were wrong by calling me a ****** when it is you who are not clearly making your point, or it is you who is failing to understand what people are complaining about most. I answer your post and responded to each point you made with a detailed explanation for you as to why I answered the way I did since apparently me complaining about our embarrassing defensive yards given up = me saying anything about winning in your eyes.

And just to be clear for you, I understand your post and agree we need to upgrade our talent and coaching/scheme. I just don't agree with you that, "So many of you only see things in black and white. You can't give any credence to the lack of talent on this defense because you feel like that will take attention away from your hate for D'onofrio and the scheme."

I think we have accepted it for what it is man no body is making excuses
we are going to wait and see what happens when the season is over and recruiting is done..

Please stop the new threads about Coach D and our defense lets just pray for a win in the bowl
game so that we can have a decent win on the schedule

can you really see coach D being fired after a 9 win season and overall a decent amount of improvement.

Sure, why not? GOLDEN being fired is impossible because he's the head man responsible for 9 wins. D'Onofrio isn't unilaterally responsible for the improvement in the team's record. The defense hasn't improved at all. Retaining him runs a significant risk of demoralizing the team and the fanbase, and we've seen practically nothing to suggest that next year will be much different.

Not if we win our bowl game, 10 wins will give Al the benefit of the doubt when it comes to making personnel decisions.
 
Poncho, you write way too well and think too deep to ever be accepted around here. Try something like this instead:

"Ur a f.aggot. Shut the **** up ****face."

Then you will have even the mods liking your posts.

And just to be clear for you, I understand your post and agree we need to upgrade our talent and coaching/scheme. I just don't agree with you that, "So many of you only see things in black and white. You can't give any credence to the lack of talent on this defense because you feel like that will take attention away from your hate for D'onofrio and the scheme."

Wow...after reading that I feel like I just spent an hour getting my head shrunk by a psychiatrist. Thank you for getting out your dictionary and for telling me what I was saying in my post. If you don't mind though I will simplify my thoughts for you so that you aren't so offended by my opinion. Hopefully then we can put this to bed.

1) I feel as though the scheme that UM employs will not get us back to national prominence. I would like to see UM replace D'onofrio and the current scheme. I believe we agree on this point.

2) I feel as though we had enough talent on the defensive side of the ball to beat VT and Duke as I implied when I said that with a qualified DC we would be playing in the
ACCCG next week where would unfortunately lose to FSU. I believe that we agree on this point also.

3) I feel as though we need to seriously upgrade our talent level on the defensive side of the ball so that we can compete with the elite of college football again. If we can do that on top of getting a qualified DC in here to run an aggressive scheme that suits the strengths of our personnel I believe we will be back to where we are accustomed to being. I don't think it can be one without the other. I am not sure if we agree on this point, which is fine. Those are called opinions, what does Webster say about that?

4) The final thing that I said which I believe is the sticking point for you is that there are some on this board who argue that talent isn't the issue it is the scheme. You apparently took that to mean that I was including you in that blanket phrase. I never called anybody out individually or by name, I simply stated that there are people who seem to be either on one side of the fence or the other based on posts and threads that I have read on this board. I personally feel that talent and coaching both are contributing factors to our problems on defense. You obviously didn't agree with that. That too is fine. The problem that I had with your post is that you felt the need to tell me that opinion was wrong.

That is where I was coming from with my initial post. If was never meant to offend anybody, but apparently it got you wound up tight enough to get your dictionary out and write a term paper to explain to me what I was saying in MY POST BASED ON MY OPINIONS.
 
Poncho, you write way too well and think too deep to ever be accepted around here. Try something like this instead:

"Ur a f.aggot. Shut the **** up ****face."

Then you will have even the mods liking your posts.

That made me lol. I've written way too many term papers, so when I reach a point where someone is not understanding me, I feel like I have to break it down very detailed.

1. Agree
2. Agree
3. Agree
4. Fair enough. Maybe I came off too generally in my response of you are wrong. Just as you say almost everyone puts it into black or white that it's scheme or talent. My response was simply because I've seen far too many responses saying those people against the scheme are not seeing that we have a talent deficiency. As I've said most of the people I've seen that hate the scheme/ coaching admit we have this deficiency, but then say we are not as deficient as some would have us believe (which imo is not a black or white opinion, more of a heavier lean to one side in that gray area.) It just seems to me that the defenders of our defense who keep using the talent issue seem to ignore that most everyone has acknowledged a talent deficiency and keep saying we don't seem to understand there is a talent deficiency when we do. That to me is maddening.

The initial post did not offend, more just frustrated because I keep seeing the same incorrect statement over and over (I guess this is the opinion over the so many of you which I feel like is a small portion who seem to think there is not a talent issue vs so many). It just seemed to me you took it personally after I posted and then resorted to name calling which imo is lowering the bar in terms of civil discussion (Obviously this board and others rarely maintain that), which I then tend to respond likewise. As far as the dictionary thing, it was only because you stated show me where I said noone is admitting a lack of talent, but you used the word credence which once interpreted comes out to something like that in more general terms. Funny how we basically agree on everything and turned something pretty small into nearly a page of responses lol. Either way, time to move on.
 
Poncho, you write way too well and think too deep to ever be accepted around here. Try something like this instead:

"Ur a f.aggot. Shut the **** up ****face."

Then you will have even the mods liking your posts.

I like to think there's not one human being left still supporting him. Golden, yes, but if there is still a D'Onofrio supporter in this world, they either are related to him, or escaped the facility that was monitoring them and have subsequently missed a dose of meds.

I support D'Nofrio

Wow...after reading that I feel like I just spent an hour getting my head shrunk by a psychiatrist. Thank you for getting out your dictionary and for telling me what I was saying in my post. If you don't mind though I will simplify my thoughts for you so that you aren't so offended by my opinion. Hopefully then we can put this to bed.

1) I feel as though the scheme that UM employs will not get us back to national prominence. I would like to see UM replace D'onofrio and the current scheme. I believe we agree on this point.

2) I feel as though we had enough talent on the defensive side of the ball to beat VT and Duke as I implied when I said that with a qualified DC we would be playing in the
ACCCG next week where would unfortunately lose to FSU. I believe that we agree on this point also.

3) I feel as though we need to seriously upgrade our talent level on the defensive side of the ball so that we can compete with the elite of college football again. If we can do that on top of getting a qualified DC in here to run an aggressive scheme that suits the strengths of our personnel I believe we will be back to where we are accustomed to being. I don't think it can be one without the other. I am not sure if we agree on this point, which is fine. Those are called opinions, what does Webster say about that?

4) The final thing that I said which I believe is the sticking point for you is that there are some on this board who argue that talent isn't the issue it is the scheme. You apparently took that to mean that I was including you in that blanket phrase. I never called anybody out individually or by name, I simply stated that there are people who seem to be either on one side of the fence or the other based on posts and threads that I have read on this board. I personally feel that talent and coaching both are contributing factors to our problems on defense. You obviously didn't agree with that. That too is fine. The problem that I had with your post is that you felt the need to tell me that opinion was wrong.

That is where I was coming from with my initial post. If was never meant to offend anybody, but apparently it got you wound up tight enough to get your dictionary out and write a term paper to explain to me what I was saying in MY POST BASED ON MY OPINIONS.

1. Agree
2. Agree
3. Agree
4. Fair enough. Maybe I came off too generally in my response of you are wrong. Just as you say almost everyone puts it into black or white that it's scheme or talent. My response was simply because I've seen far too many responses saying those people against the scheme are not seeing that we have a talent deficiency. As I've said most of the people I've seen that hate the scheme/ coaching admit we have this deficiency, but then say we are not as deficient as some would have us believe (which imo is not a black or white opinion, more of a heavier lean to one side in that gray area.) It just seems to me that the defenders of our defense who keep using the talent issue seem to ignore that most everyone has acknowledged a talent deficiency and keep saying we don't seem to understand there is a talent deficiency when we do.

Agreed. I apologize for the namecalling. It was out of line and I typically don't respond that way. I was irritated when I felt that you were telling me that my opinions were wrong. Either way I agree that we need to move on. I have a feeling that I will agree with most of your posts as we seem to agree on most points and you are obviously a well spoken person who can rationalize thoughts and that is usually at a premium on these boards.
 
Sooooo . . . how many more years until we have the talent that Duke has?

How many times are we going to say this same ****? Arent u guys tired of typing the same things over and over?

Until someone answers the question.


You got an answer?
Defensively we do not have a better combo of talent/experience then Duke.
Gaines, Cornelius, Highsmith, Armbrister, Rodgers , Robinson, and Green would be lucky to crack the 2 deep at Duke.
On the flip side their DB and a few other players would be in ours.

Offensively I would take their RB over CRAWFORD. Boone ain't bad either and their WR would get time here
