I thought 9-3 - but good Lord, I didn't see 6-6. I'll admit I thought the new head coach/staff could motivate the unmotivateable (aka Larry Coker tenured players).
Obviously, that isn't happening. The OL is fat, soft, and just not good. The WR's are mostly bad to awful. The RB's are good - but a bad OL leaves them little room to run.
I'm not sure we have a TE.
The QB position is a shining example of just how far Larry Coker led Miami to the bottom. Kyle Wright - best QB Pete Carroll said he'd seen in HS - continues to make the wrong read, tucks the ball early when the pocket breaks down (limiting downfield opportunities), and forces the ball into spaces where there really isn't room.
Mind boggling this 5* kid has come here and regressed over his first start (250 yards against FSU in '05).
The DL is inconsistent, at best. The DT position is down to 3 scholarship guys that have ever played a down of CFB.
The LB position is now down to 4 - one is a true frosh who weights 280 lbs(!!!).
We've had so many recruiting misses on those 2 crucial positions it isn't funny - Willie Williams anyone?
Our secondary is so bad we have a true freshman that has started every game this year - DeMarcus Van Dyke.
He's been the most steady of the CB's.
Our strong safety went out in the pre-season (Anthony Reddick) and we might as well have me back there next to Kenny Phillips. We continue to get burned by the other safety. OU hit 3 TD's on us to that side (away from Phillips).
I'm staring at a near entire roster overhaul of barely 1-A players. Jesus.
I thought we could make a run in '09 (certainly not next year - we'll be really young) - but now I'm not so sure. Not sure how long this Coker mentality takes to leave the program.
The Miami Hurricanes - '01 Champs to '06/'07 chumps.
:wtf:
