SuitedAces21 2,722 Posted September 26, 2009 Share Posted September 26, 2009 well, I guess miami's not ALL the way back yet..is this making nebraska look good?i think so. Link to post Share on other sites
CaneBrain 95 Posted September 26, 2009 Author Share Posted September 26, 2009 is this making nebraska look good?i think so.it's certainly making Randy Shannon look bad. It rains a lot in Miami....you think they would be a little more prepared for a wet field. Keep running the ball on 3rd and five Randy.ugh, I got so caught up in Miami having a QB again I forgot that Beamer is good and Shannon is not. Link to post Share on other sites
CaneBrain 95 Posted September 26, 2009 Author Share Posted September 26, 2009 If #80 plays another down, the o-coordinator should be shot. Should be 21-14 and interesting. Unreal. One of those days. Link to post Share on other sites

Shannon is a great recruiter, and can get you players from Northwestern like Jacory, and believe me that's more valuable to you than a head coach who's a special teams specialist Link to post Share on other sites

I'd much rather have Frank Beamer as my head coach than Randy Shannon. At least right now in his career. Link to post Share on other sites

Miami is a hot bed of football talent, and you need a coach that ensures you get it, and that it doesn't escape to FSU, Florida or points beyond. Link to post Share on other sites

At least right now in his career.yeah, I know Shannon can recruit.....I just have not seen it yet as an in-game coach. I am sure I am overreacting to the disappointment of how the Canes played today. Besides, today was a systemic failure where nothing went right and Va Tech played very well (especially Tyrod Taylor which is new). Nice game Hokies. I hope this is Jacory's equivalent of the Washington game for Dorsey.Oh well. At least they changed up the play calling in the 2nd half. If Jimmy Graham could catch, maybe we could have had a game.

BigDMcGee 3,352 Posted September 26, 2009 Share Posted September 26, 2009 Seriously. Ron Zook.Seriously, Pete Carroll. Carroll is not a great game day coach at all. He was a punchline NFL Coach. But he can recruit, and he can hire competent assistants, and that's what a head coach needs to do. It's nice if you're a Defensive or offensive guru, but certainly not necessary if you hire the right assistants. Link to post Share on other sites

Zook did an outstanding job of recruiting the area.. it doesn't amount to wins. I agree that hiring competent assistants is a bigger part of the battle. If Ron Zook recruited for Kirk Ferentz, they'd compete for the national title. Link to post Share on other sites

If Ron Zook recruited for Kirk Ferentz, they'd compete for the national title.Yeah, and that is my point. If you're a great recruiter, like Mack Brown, Pete Carroll, getting the top list talent is THE most important thing. You just won't compete with national titles having Middle of the road talent. A great recruiter can hire assistants that can do the nuts and bolts of the coaching. .but it's much harder for a pure "coaches coach" to hire assistants to cover his lack of ability to recruit. It would be nice to have a coach like Urban Myer, who's both an innovative play calling/ creating coach, and a great recruiter.. but coaches like Urban Myer don't come around often.

CaneBrain 95 Posted October 5, 2009 Author Share Posted October 5, 2009 clutch, clutch win against the Sooners. Jacory Harris finally got it back together. I am still pissed about that bogus roughing the kicker call. Link to post Share on other sites
BigDMcGee 3,352 Posted October 5, 2009 Share Posted October 5, 2009 My point about recruiting... Miami has the most NFL players of any city at 33. THe next closest city is houston at 27. Ft. Lauderdale has more NFL pros than LA does. Florida is an absolute Football hotbed. Link to post Share on other sites

Rutgers (wisely) put up a billboard on I-95 right on the county line between Miami and Ft. Lauderdale to help recruiting. They showed some highlights on the big board at the Dolphins game today of the current quarterback from powerhouse Northwestern High (where Jacory Harris played) and on one play this kid threw a 40 yard line drive post for a TD and the whole stadium went "Ooooooooooooooooh!". It was a laser beam. Pennington dreams about throwing a ball like that. Kid set a school record with 7 TDs apparently (and the highlights were part of his player of the week celebration). I assume we will be recruiting him. Link to post Share on other sites
