Stop making excuses. Isn't it possible that our coaches led by shannon aren't developing the talent the way they should.

Lewis not being first team is crazy. If he played for anyone but Duke he'd be a Heisman contender. Thanks Coker for telling him he wasn't good enough for Miami.

A little dose of reality check needs to be applied to this team and the coaches. yes, we are young, but we are extremely talented. Once these youngsters hit the weight room, and have more confidence, there will be improvement in some areas. But teams don't win championships off talent alone, it also takes good coaching.
Out of the 5 loses, 3 were due to bad coaching. Randy isn't the guy we think he is or can be. Does anyone remember when he came in? Yep, 2001, when the defense was already developed, and seasoned. He didn't build that defense, and probably did a minimum job coaching it. That 2001 and 2002 team was ready made, and any coach could've won a championship off that team. Randy's handprint is all over our defenses that constantly can't stop the run. We've allowed more quarterbacks to rush for over 100 yards because of his coaching philosophy. That read and react defense relies on assignments and by the time a young player reacts it’s to late, plus those defenses don't account for quarterbacks. It's similar to a 3-4 defense, which can be complicated, especially to young players, and if your linebackers aren't big enough to fill the gaps, they will get exposed. On paper it’s a 4-3 defense that we run, but technically we run a 3-4
This is Bill Young's defense, but Randy's handprint is all over the defense. Randy, needs allow Young to run a ball-hawking 4-3, cover 2 defense that allows the players to play without having to remember assignments. Also, Randy needs to match players’ strengths with positions. I like Manny's prediction in moving McCarthy to the middle, and Bailey to D/T. I hate to bring it up but remember why Willie Williams didn't see the field? Because he was to instinctive, and didn't fit Shannon's philosophy. But anyways, I say the assistant that need to go it Aubrey Swassey. Is it me or has the UM team, even before the jits, seemed to be small. Remember the size difference against Oklahoma last year. Last year's Miami Northwestern's team looked bigger than UMs.
Let's give Shannon one more year to recruit all the talent, and then we need to bring someone in who can coach the talent. Hey Florida did it with Ron Zook, and look what Urban Meyer’s done with the talent. Besides UM will always be able to recruit locally because of the loyalty factor. Most of these kids dream about playing for UM and being part of that great football tradition. Doesn't the coach from Boise look like a good fit?

Manny is Manny Navarro of the Herald. He's much better than the Sun SLANTinel writer who gives no insight and seems to favor Basketball much like the publishers of this site.

Reality Check that's a alot of time spent on a post that says basically nothing of value.
Sorry but we have little talent and we are rebuilding. This takes time.
