If it is only talent then why does Manny not play LT vs Bama? Why didn’t Couch start? Why didn’t Chaney? Why didn’t Justice? Why does Carter play more than Gil?
George over Wiggins who hasn’t caught a ball since 2019!
The relationship between recruiting and winning is clearly established. Miami was simply overmatched yesterday. Does Miami have a single player that could start for the Tide? Every starting LB for the Tide will play in the NFL. Two of them will be drafted in the first round. Blaming our coaching staff for this loss is ridiculous.
The most dispiriting play in the game was not scoring on 4th and goal. The Miami team was playing hard and briefly had some momentum.
If Miami had Alabama’s recruiting classes for the last decade, there would be no kvetching about losing in this forum.
Weird how 5* LT can’t play a snap with 3 3* kids ahead of him.
Weird how most of the kids I mentioned have been here 6 months yet James Williams has been here one yet plays.
If it were only talent then explain why the best talent isn’t getting snaps. Would it mean coaching made bad choices or those players don’t know the playbook? Who is responsible for them being ready?
So now they have to be physically ready. I guess that just happens naturally. No S&C, diet doesn’t matter, culture at the program doesn’t matter, learning the playbook doesn’t matter… just let get older.
What?
You have admitted to coaching matters. I’ve admitted to talent matters far more than coaching. We are only going to continue to go in circles only to find out that the variance between your position and my position is no worth debating.
Bama has two big constants: Saban and lots of MONEY to land top recruits, coaches, analysts…
Clemson has two big constants: (Dabo, Brent, Tony) and more MONEY than Miami to land top recruits, assistance coaches, analysts…
This is why I hope Manny can make it a 10-11 win seasons. We need constants to build on to land more elite kids. I really don’t give two shits if freshmen played vs Bama. They just can’t sit those kids moving forward or they will be looking back kicking themselves for not playing them sooner. If Manny makes it to 10-11 and signs another top 10 class, the expectations will continue to grow as they should.
I’m on record saying King is limited and will likely keep us from being Elite. He should be our Boyd! We now need Garcia(my pick) or TVD to take Miami to the next level with near Elite QB play. That will give Manny one more card to play at the recruiting table and he can’t keep those kids from playing in '21 or that card is a negative as it is an unknown. Recruits can tell if a back-up is GOOD or not.
