Well, it was fun(sorta) while it lasted..(thoughts on the Cuse loss)

So Miami was up 21-0, and then got out-scored 42-17. There was nothing fluky about it.

Just having an average defense and you win this game. This defense has shown leaks since the Vatech game in late September -- and quite frankly, never got better. In fact, it got worse as the season wore on. At what point does Lance Guidry face some heat? (and yeah, Miami needs to recruit some better players on that side of the ball, too. lets be honest)

And the harsh reality is that Miami now has to face life without Cam Ward and many other key parts. Some tough question have to be asked, starting now.

I really think Cristobal has to look at his defensive staff. But not making the playoffs in a 12-team format is a failure for Mario Cristobal. There is no sugar coating this reality. It could've been a great year for UM football. Now, it's not. That may sound harsh, but that's the truth.

Back in 1998, as Miami's defense fell apart late (giving up a bunch of points vs Syracuse, UCLA and then NCState), Butch Davis made the decision to relieve Bill Miller of his DC duties, and brought in Greg Schiano.

Will history repeat itself here? It wasn't just that the defense wasn't good. The bigger issue to me was that certain structural issues never really got fixed..

idk about yall, but I’m coolin. Obviously disappointed with the outcome of the game and feel for the seniors, but this season was super fun to watch. Next season will be the true test, hopefully Mario can build off this season. See yall next season


P.S. in terms of the game, nothing needs to be said about the coaching we already know, but I’m just at a loss for words on how not a single player on that defense was able to make a play when their number was called, besides a TF LB.

Need a better tactician at DC and a MUCH BETTER recruiter of corners and safeties. It's not just Guidry. Jackson has to go too. It's non-negotiable.

I don't think it's an exaggeration to say that this is the worst secondary in UM history. Just a bunch of guys that should be nothing more than back-ups and special team players. OJ Frederique was very good (outside of today) as a freshman, but the rest was really just flotsam-and-jetsom back there...

They're absolutely the worst. I said they'd be awful going into the season and they were even worse than I could have imagined.

I mean, at least in probation years like 97 Miami had Duane Starks. But Ive never seen a Hurricane secondary (really whole back end) that looked in such disarray and unorganized....

Where have you gone Bill Miller!!??!!???

*sigh* Mario is not building or fixing anything. He's not the guy.

Only thoughts that I’m having is who I’m glad won’t be here or shouldn’t be here next year.

Suspect 1 is Jaden ******* Harris, it’s crazy how his blown assignments have led to explosive plays in almost every game of the season. Also just slow asf. He’s been burned to the endzone at least 3 times by a ******* TE
2. Mauigoa, has been horrible in space and around the line. Lost his powers when he switched from 52 to 1
3. Porter, mf couldn’t cover me even if he had a blanket
4. Sam brown, just lazy and had stone for hands. Seems like he was disinterested once it became the X JG Zay show.
5. Powell, don’t be fooled with the picks that he had, especially when he probably dropped 3 or four more. Including one today. Plus he has been terrible in coverage outside of a few games.

Okay rant over. Had to get it out

Edit: I guess lance should be #1 since these players are his responsibility and he put them in some weird situations. There no reason that we should ever send mesidor Alston and Bain out in coverage to cover RB and slot WR, inability to properly communicate and hand off assignments with motion all season, doesn’t create pressure with 4 or get home with the blitz. So I actually need him to be the first one packing
