His explanation using analytics to go for 3 @ 3:41 left in the game down 7 was another low IQ move from this Nucklehead Mario. GT all over again. Why would he not put the ball in Cams hands for a shot?

Or if you are going to get the 3 points, You must try for the onside kick because your defense are basically 11 statues and you are not going to get ball back.

This season ended up being the worst possible incarnation of a Mario Cristobal team. Its not like last year where maybe we were thinking 8-4, 9-3 would be a successful season.

Team is obviously flawed from the foundation...coach included...but this this team had nothing but green grass in front of it all year long. This should be an undefeated football team, with a BYE in the CFB Playoff. Questions, for sure...just like every undefeated or one loss Oklahoma team, the Washington team a year ago, etc. There are teams like this every year that manage to not trip on their own ****s until they play an obviously well run organization and they just lose when they are supposed to lose.

We tripped on our own ****. The fact this happened over Thanksgiving is saving us from national embarrassment because no one is paying attention because they are shopping. But Miami blowing a real shot at the playoffs on Saturday after Thanksgiving as a double digit favorite in the middle of the day, after blowing a 3 score lead on said team should lead to massive firings.

D$ is right, you can't blow it over and over again, go 2nd quarter after 2nd quarter where after your scripted plays, fall flat on your face and let teams come back on you after you jump out 21-0...thats on 🫵.

Team got worse as the year goes on AGAIN.

We blew a legit Heisman QB and maybe the #1 offense in the nation. Just blew it. We went 10-2 and won't play in a single big game this year. ******* sucks.

We lost a great opportunity wasted so much talent.
Loss of talent next year
Ward
Martinez
X
George
Arroyo
carpenter
rivers
Mesidor
Barrow
Barron
kiko
Powell
Porter
Borragales

That is just the starters that doesn’t include other to leave in the portal. Mario has his work cut out for him.

I’m a Cane for life and will never stop bleeding Orange and Green but this one hurt!

It’s not just a money thing. It’s a culture problem that Miami hasn’t been able to
Shake for over a decade. Selfish players making dumb *** mistakes that play a major part in Miami losing. Year 3 it shouldn’t be happening and should have been fixed last offseason.

It cuts across so many different coaching staffs too. I've often thought of this...what's so inherent in the culture down here that things like 15 yard unsportsmanlike penalties at the worst possible times keep happening...over and over again? Why have we seen this every year for 2 decades?

Mario saying he relied on the analytics is like Nikki Glazer's joke about Gronk thinking cryto was real money - in the exact voice -

Me Know Analytics Make No Sense When Defense Suck

Washington State went from 5-7 with Cam Ward to 8-4 without Cam Ward. He lost a game 10-7 with them. He is not irreplaceable.

That’s a little disingenuous. Check their schedule last year compared to this year. Last year they were in the PAC 12. This year they were basically playing a mountain west schedule. Definitely a drop in competition level. I’m sure playing the likes of Utah St., Hawaii, San Jose St. and Fresno St. instead of Oregon, Washington, Arizona St etc had a little something to do with it. Last I checked Miami isn’t dropping down to play sunbelt conference teams next year.

I'll in part answer my own question....I strongly suspect that most of the other teams we play, with the probable exception of Florida State, are much smarter than we are. All the other guys on the other ACC teams probably do a far better job of studying and digesting tape. Our defenses in particular often seem too stupid to deal with what these other teams are doing.

Data analytics is a joke.

It only works if you have a really good football team because EVERYTHING works.

If not I call it 50/50 hope we look intelligent.

Call me old school but I am in the “it’s too early in the game take the points or play field position” camp.

Like last night…Mario played the old school way except he isn’t smart enough to realize that has to change based on the fact you have no defense.

Data analytics doesn’t teach that.

It is another example of the concern that the overall coaching staff does not have a smart feel for the flow of the game live.

This is it (if he said analytics told him to kick). Did analytics also factor in a D that couldn't stop the opponent at all - and an opponent that was playing catch in the passing game? This is the situation you pay a HC 8mm for. To use your head, your experience and your gut to make the call at a crucial point. This clown relied on "analytics". Holy ****. Just make AI the HC, **** of a lot cheaper (and no man *****!)
