Willie actually got Briles

Making stuff up? Not my fault you can’t handle the truth.

As I said, if FSU does not go to a bowl next year then you’re right, if they do go to a bowl, then you’re a fool.

So you are admitting that fsu hasn’t done anything to justify your comment that they are “definitely trending up.” Thanks.

Judging by your last sentence it is obvious that you don’t know what a trend is.

More silliness by you. I admitted what?

You’re really an idiot if you don’t recognize that a trend depends on what the starting point is. LMAO.

“Fsu is definitely trending up”

“Well I guess it depends what happens next season”

Comical. (One season isn’t a trend by the way)
 
FSU, a school that may have allowed a serial sexual abuser to run wild on campus, just hired as an OC a guy who beyond a shadow of a doubt helped make it possible for sexual predators to stay on the field at Baylor. You can't make this tone deaf crap up. Who wants to bet that when this inevitably goes sideways, the school will get sued, and taxpayers will end up picking up the tab?

FSU has always cared more. Miami for the last 20 years has been worried only about academic reputation. The bots want to be mentioned in the same breath with Duke, Vanderbilt. LOL, for us old schoolers, and participants at Suntan U, it is like a twilight episode.. Used popularity of football to boost academics which in turn hurt the program that made the U relevant.

Contrary to popular belief, football has NEVER built a school. Why? Because athletics, while a nice marketing tool only cares about itself. Think about how much money athletics pulls in, and the fact that outside of 5-7 programs, the rest of the school sees little of it. Athletic revenues go right back into the product, it's basically a vanity project for a collection of meatheads that honestly couldn't hack it in real life. Go spend any time around most football coaches, and athletic department officials. There is a lot of stupidity and ignorance running around. Hence why a school like FSU would hire someone associated with sexual abuse, knowing full well that they are still dealing with the aftermath of the Winston situation.

People forget that at a place like Miami, the academic donors, and the athletic donors are two different groups. Ironically enough, the people writing the big checks, the Frosts of the world aren't living and dying on the results of fall Saturdays. It's the bottom feeding, mostly underemployed underbelly of our fanbase that thinks that the school's main focus should be athletics. Athletics won't help 99.9% of the student body find a job after graduation.

One can love athletics, one can want to see the athletic department become competitive across the board, without having this anti-education, anti common sense attitude that is found in this "Fanbase".

Briles is in for a rude awakening, In the All-American conference the defenses were probably some of the worst in college football. In the championship game UCF-Memphis there was over 100 points scored. UCF the conference champions defense in the ACC would be bottom rung. Basically he was game planning for schoolyard football, FSUs offensive line will not be able to compete at a high level and Briles will be exposed.

If FSU starts winning, no one will care. Sad but true.

The goal at Miami is to be competitive in the Coastal and be a clean program. No more, no less.

It’s a business decision. Investing the required sum to compete at an elite national level doesn’t generate the return that matters to the school.

The school won’t make, appreciably, more revenue by being elite at football. And there is no guarantee that spending money equals elite results ... Just look at Auburn.

So, this is the new normal at Miami.

Unless college athletics changes, Miami is stuck. The school, and for good reason won't spend Alabama money, because A)It isn't there for this school and B)The moment Miami tries to play that game, the NCAA will bury us. To quote the movie "Moneyball" "We try to be like the Yankees in here, we will lose to them out there". Miami is the Oakland A's, an entity that can find success(Oakland has won titles in most of our lifetimes, multiple if you are older than 50), but is screwed long term because of financial inequities that are impossible to overcome without significant action at the league level.

When the NCAA finally steps in and tells a school like Alabama "You can't go out and have 10x the number of staff as anyone else, and you can't spend like this", that will be the time for Miami to go all in. Unfortunately, that will never happen, because the NCAA is only as strong as the large factory schools will allow it to be. Therefore, the powers that be will NEVER do anything that creates parity, or gives private schools like Miami a shot. Look at baseball and the partial scholarship requirement as proof of that.

Intelligent people will care, and as soon as it hits the fan, it will held up as a signal of a rotten culture. Years of nonsense in regards to sexual abuse, and despite having every precedent out there, FSU continues to double down. Then again, Urban Meyer just got promoted to Associate AD at Ohio State, despite being a complete scumbag. The football culture has become rotten, and it's going to eventually lead to people walking away. Football isn't too big to fail, and eventually common sense and basic human decency will win out. It will be a shame, but we can't have nice things because meatheads are in power.
 
We shouldn’t care about this, but because our coach and admin continues to go on the cheap for critical spots on the field, it’s shameful. Think about it, just seems like less of golden guys transferred out or decommitted from the program vs the current staff.
 
You guys putting stock into that game as an indicator of how good, or bad Briles is, must be new to bowl season.

The entire Houston squad looked like they were as enthusiastic about being there as we are with having Richt as the HC.

You just fail to recognize the obvious; it’s the whole “clever by half” with you…

At some point, a team has to do things that change the trajectory of where they were. Going back 3 seasons is stupid and is a desperate attempt at making a man brain to find a brain along the yellow brick road.

Jimbo started the trajectory; Taggart (even if you believe he’s over his head) has made inroads to change the direction. They’re better than they were last year (more accurately, they will Ben in my opinion) right now; that’s trending up.

How by hiring an o.c., Does he play offensive tackles or throw passes or catch run good routes …...maybe he can help them get 11 men on the field.

Sadly, it does seem like a lifetime ago. It does however make UGA's fanbase look ridiculous when they puff out their chests with their last title won before many of the PARENTS of players on our current roster were even born.

Good coaches can scheme around poor OL play, and in some cases elevate less talented players by putting them in better positions to succeed.
 
Why am I not surprised that this fan base cherry picks one game from Briles' catalog to try and disprove his offensive prowess? Most smart fans were screaming for Richt to hire Briles. Now all of a suddenly he's a bum because the entire program checked out of a bowl game?

Even if you say that Daddy's fingerprints were over the offenses at Baylor in '15 & '16, you can't say that about his time at FAU and Houston.

He took FAU from the 80th scoring offense in 2016 to the 8th scoring offense in 2017 (26.4 ppg to 40.6 ppg).
He took Houston from the 65th scoring offense in 2017 to the 6th scoring offense this season (28.3 ppg to 43.9 ppg).

He learned at the side of one of the best offensive minds this game has ever seen. He put up silly numbers with power 5 leftovers. What's he gonna do with actual blue chip recruits?
