Miami won the Coastal ONCE. They’ve played in the ACC Championship game ONCE in their 17 year history of being in the ACC. Narduzzi has won the Coastal TWICE in the last 4 seasons and has 1 Championship Ring.
It's mind boggling that Miami has underperformed that badly.
Yet, their filthy rich boosters still throw cash at the program.
No doubt Narduzzi has done a great job, no one is disputing that. I was just questioning what would be considered Coastal champ in 2020 when there were no divisions and no division champions. Miami went 7-2 in conference for the best winning percentage in the division. But UNC went 7-3 in conference and won the head-to-head against Miami.
How did we have twenty more guys dressed than Tennessee? Aren't you only allowed 70 guys on a travel squad? You're telling me Tennessee only dressed 50 players?
Yeah that is true. VT would likely be assuredly and confidently awaiting for its B1G or SEC bid right now, instead of chewing its fingernails along with us on the outside looking in … if only they’d beaten us all those years that they easily should have while they were ranked highly during the 00s.
You write something in that same flavor every year.
Every single one UM fan knew that we had no head coach and the staff sucked very much. This is different, but I agree we’re in a wait and see..
Nah, we have bigger endowment than both. They don't "own" Pitt, though Pitt can own them.
Then why would top recruits agree to join this bad coaching staff? Most winners want to continue to ..... you know.....win
In some ways it’s gotta be really tough to be their fan. At least since we only get mostly 3 star guys and ‘meh’ (or worse) coaching hires, we can legitimately think we’ve overachieved many years. They gotta be perennially disappointed. Not as bad as Texas at least.
Because the brand still carries weight even though it’s been down for years. But we had probably the worst AD in all college football, now we have one of the best in Dan Radakovich former Clemson AD. You have a former top NFL personnel guy as the Director of Football operations.
And has someone else said, they look SO good vs us. Like Varsity vs JV, almost like 90s Miami teams with talent all over the field....well not that good but they look good. I know its coaching but you have to be royally bad to do what they did in the Coastal.
GA just won a NC with a qb that well, kinda stinks. tOSU won an NC years ago with their 3rd string qb..
I agree there are very few teams who can win games with a game manager at the QB spot. However, 95 percent of teams need elite QB play to reach a certain level.
It was a couple lifetimes ago so the memory glazes, but recall that we actually won our last NC with our backup QB who was pretty much a game manager
That's certainly been a Texas problem. Florida. LSU are others. LSU is the perfect example, Joe Burrows then a bunch of hacks.
QB is the most important position in all of sports. Talent CAN make up for subpar QB play but not always. If I was one of those blue bloods, I would trade like 10-15 4-5 stars for just 1 guaranteed 1st Round NFL QB. I know there's no guarantees but just saying. One of Miami's biggest issues is they haven't had a QB in the ACC. The best was Kaaya and he had them at 11-0
