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.

why are you blaming randy for running on 3rd and five? he isn't the offensive co-ordinator, he's not making the offensive play calls. 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

Well that's a problem that neither coach has. I'd much rather have Frank Beamer as my head coach than Randy Shannon. At least right now in his career.
For the coach of Iowa, maybe. But I'd rather have shannon as my coach of miami, because he can ensure that he gets the local blue chip recruits. 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.

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.

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.

I was just responding to your point about being able to recruit locally and nationally in the state of Florida. 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.

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.

clutch, clutch win against the Sooners. Jacory Harris finally got it back together. I am still pissed about that bogus roughing the kicker call.

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.

as someone who lives down here and sees the high school highlights all the time.....it's ridiculous. 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.

They had a Northwestern game on ESPN that I watched a little of, maybe that one.. I was just impressed that they were on National television.

That was actually a couple weeks later but yeah they have already showed a couple FL high school games on ESPN2 this year. I am starting to worry that Miami will run the table.....and so will Va Tech. Everyone else in the ACC looks to be somewhere between god awful and eh.

ACC would be a lot more interesting if Miami was in an opposing conference.
well the ACC coastal just got a lot more interesting. Tyrod Taylor has officially entered "you never know what you are going to get" territory.
