Before the game Golden was asked if Miami's ever played a game in the rain and he said, "no." I wonder if that also means they never practiced in the rain either. That ball's extra slick tonight, gotta hold onto it!
It's always something with this team. Defense shows up. Offense with an 81 yard TD to start the game. Time for the ST to lose the game.
wow, we could drop further in the rankings , if this crap keeps up. 21-7, and we spotted them the points
This defense is atrocious. Can't set the edge or rush the passer w/ Green and Chick on 1st and 2nd down. Quan and McCord can't be THAT bad at defending the run.
No D'frio is the worst DC to grace this sport since Tom Olivadotti. Some of the worst blitzes you will ever see. Useless stunts on 3rd downs instead of letting our 3rd down pass rushers just rush the passer. Haven't defended a crossing route all year. Flats are just as open. Awful, awful.
Green and Chickillo might be the worst pass rushing DE combo of all time. I don't think we've gotten pressure on 1st or 2nd down all year. Like you said, there's no way McCord/AQM are that bad against the run.
Two straight games unprepared.. Ok fsu we were over matched but you mean to tell me we were over matched by a va tec team that lost two in a row to duke and bc and was reeling? Unprepared.. Golden has some splaining to do.. Kiss the acc champ game good bye.. Kiss a bcs birth good bye.. Unbelievable how bad we have been for this amount of time.. We should have stayed in the big east.. Gone are the days of us competing for national championships.. I like golden but he has been out coached in a ton of games this year... If not for the o line and the run game we wouldn't even be ranked.. On the distractions are gone and now you want to have a breakdown of coaching.. Pathetic...
Meh. The game was handed to VT with 2 straight fumbles and the kneeled punt. Throw in Coach No D and it's whatever. I'm numb to it at this point. The season was over when Duke went down. All there's left to do is hope Golden doesn't pull a Shula/Olivadotti and keep this awful DC around much longer.
In the last two games the defense has given up: 1,066 yards and 83 points. I know the DC D'Onofrio is Golden's longtime buddy, but that doesn't mean he's the best guy for the job.
****- hopefully we can win out- @Duke on 11/16, Home versus Virginia 11/23, @Pitt on 11/29 need to get rid of Mark D'Onofrio- Al needs to make that move
Also if Morris keeps limping put in Ryan Williams- sucks that he will be the qb for 1 season after Morris
I am a big Al Golden fan, but man do I dislike his coordinators. D'Onofrio is a joke. His game plans against FSU and Va Tech were awful. I realize he has a young unit, but he looks clueless. Fumbled returns or not, that team was going to drive on Miami all game the way they were playing. As for Coley, good recruiter, but it's pretty obvious why he wasn't calling the plays at FSU. I have no idea what he was trying to do against Va Tech. Running slow-developing run plays against that defense is an awful idea, same with some of the boot action and one WR stuff they were doing. You needed to take deep shots and challenge their secondary, and Coley had no intentions on doing that.
The same exact things were said about Fisch in his first year calling plays. Fisch looked much better in year 2. I'm willing to give Coley somewhat of a pass. Injuries have been brutal and Morris sucks. Oh No has to go though. You gotta have balls to be a great coach. I sure hope Golden has the stones to fire the best man at his wedding.
I remember liking Fisch from the start, but maybe that's revisionist history. I did think he tried to get a little too cute sometimes, but I thought he did well with what he had. Hopefully Coley improves, but I'm not encouraged with what I've seen so far. He doesn't seem to have a grasp on what his team can do well and what the opponent's weakness is. I do agree that once Morris is out things should get better though. Hopefully Olsen is a guy that can step right in as a RS Frosh and get it done like some of these other guys have because I don't have a ton of faith in Williams. Kaaya could be really special, but I don't see him playing as a true freshman, so I wouldn't put him in the mix next year.
Anthony Moten committed today. Versatile defensive lineman. http://www.hudl.com/athlete/o/1241016/highlights/55484375
South Dade WR Tyre Brady committed yesterday. This class just keeps on getting better. Good chance we land WR Johnnie Dixon at the end of the month, too.
Done with this team. Worst defense in the history of the program and probably all of college football.
