You have to take into account the context of what he is saying. After all, Virginia Tech with Burmeister and Turner are "elite". So there is that to consider.

Yep. Good catch. Then, where will the ACC champion go? I cannot keep up with it in my dotage. Miami's two signature wins against NC State and Pitt did not get them much street cred with CFN experts who put them at number 61 or so about 7 slots higher than last week in their 1 through 130...

A 7 win season? How quaint. Coach Collins would strike a Faustian bargain with old Scratch himself for 7 wins next year.

After perusing canes in sight, I have determined that for Miami fans the PERFECT ending to this season would be for the "Duh U" to do the following: 1) Beat Tech by two or three TDs (Their disdain for the Jackets is palatable) 2) Win their last 3 games including the BIG ONE against FSU 3) Win...

Boys, boys, you are both wrong..."Miami is elite" will be Coach Collins' line. Please stay in your respective lanes.

They might be "trash" but they will win and cover with relative ease. The talent on that team is undeniable...along with a really poor tackling defense but this team has completely turned around since TVD became their quarterback. I can see Gibbs and Sims going off big time on that defense...

Edit: "There fixed it for the damn SOB".

"No coach can outcoach paying players" There fixed it or the damn SOB. Give him the same players that Vanderbilt has and they would not be able to beat a FCS team.

There was a self help book back in the day entitled "I'm OK, You're OK" After a while it was seen as being rubbish and was eventually roundly criticized as psychobabble . The prospect, however slim, of a third straight 3 win season is most definitely not "OK".

When Nebraska hired Frost, it seemed like the right thing to do. Fabled quarterback, coming back to his alma mater after leading UCF to some impressive seasons. He was the golden boy that attracted attention from Florida but wanted to go home. Best laid plans of mice and men and all that...

Well, if getting shellacked by Duke and being taunted by smack talk from the scoreboard at Wallace Wade in the form of "Welcome to the basement, Teckies" doesn't make a football coach despondent nothing else will.

I see one ray of hope, albeit from a most unusual source. Miami was forced to resort to using a freshman quarterback to replace a talented but injured starter. He has literally changed the trajectory of that team. According to the Miami board he has called out team mates that were slacking...

Maybe he is being sarcastic... I think?

No doubt about it, Coach Collins and his staff are recruiting better, however, the lines are a long way from being where they need to be and I am beginning to think recruiting linemen may require a huge investment in recruiting nationally because in that area it is simply not getting done just...

Ask Miami about those boys. They were all business in that game and smacked the mighty Canes right in the mouth.

I agree with this but I will say that this is Coach Collins' program for better or worse. Let him run it his way but right now it would appear that he is close to running this program into the ground and a never never land of reduced expectations and irrelevance such as has been experienced by...

Anyone that thinks Coach Collins is going to be fired anytime in the near future is misinformed as to the realities of this program. Sure, LSU can fire a coach a couple of years removed from a national title, so can Florida dismiss a proven 8 or 9 game a season winner for perceived recruiting...

Dodd said something in his autobiography that was true then and continues to be true today: Paraphrasing here from memory: "I can make a difference as a coach on offense much more than on defense. Defensively, either you have the players or you don't. " Like about 90 other programs...

What I find disturbing about this game is that we lost a home game to a team we were favored to beat by 4 points. Looking back at their games I viewed this week with Notre Dame, Syracuse, and West Virginia (I have a lot of time on my hands being retired) this is not a very good team that we...

I am afraid we are stuck with him for better or for worse. He may yet make the naysayers eat their words, including me, by the end of year 4 or 5. In other words, he is not going anywhere but two coordinators might be on the chopping block soon enough. I am still, somewhat hopeful, that...
