Part of it is opinion and part of it is facts. It's my opinion Mac is driving our program in the ground but it's fact what Miami has in their recruiting commits. Mac will spend 75% of the cycle trying to flip some of their commits wont get any of them and will settle for the 389th ranked OT or Wr who are unranked and a 2*. He's a complete joke on the trail

Until NSD comes and goes, we don't really know how the classes will end up. Richt may very well end up with a very class (very early signs hint at that), or maybe these kids all flee Miami leading up to NSD like they've been doing for years.

Also, we all know Richt is a mediocre coach who doesn't win anything. I have as much doubts about him as I do with Mac.

Oh I completely agree MR will wet the bed at Miami but I do believe the next coach will be lined up with a good team. I believe MR is a way better coach all around than Mac. But yes I think both are not very good but one thing I do know is MR can at least recruit his butt off Mac can not do that.

Richt is a competent coach but has trouble winning the big one or living up to pre-season predictions. That is why he was fired at UGa. He will win enough games to hang around a while but the Miami fan base is so small that when they do start making noise about Richt, nobody will hear them.

The ACC probably has the best coaches top to bottom overall of any Power 5 conference. Big 10 right behind.

The SEC used to own it. Crazy.

Not sure if your being serious or not, I think you are but it might be that you're a little slow. You're use of owned and destroyed improperly helps my case. I know you get you're rocks off watchig Mac bring in so many 3* players and finishing 10th in recruiting but some of us believe a Helen Keller could recruit better as the coach at UF, UF is supposed to recruit itself which means Mac must be super terrible based on the players he's bringing in. And I know all the 3* players should be 4* bla bla bla bla bla. Fact is we pulled 1 player in the top 100 one. Meanwhile our rivals UGA pulled 8 and FSU 9 but yah we pulled a top 10 class with 1 player in the top 100

Is Kev...........................CaneThing? I'm beginning to wonder. :dunno:
Not even sure who CaneThing is but I'm not him I'm Gatorkev85 a diehard gator fan who believes our program deserves way better than we have and I shouldn't have to settle for what we have right now. You can settle for it but I don't want to.

Yeah and we won the East and had an offense that ranked in the 100's the 5/6 years so impressive I tell you. If we had just a good defense instead of elite we'd be a 6 loss team the last 5 years but the defense has carried the team.
There are exactly 2 teams that have never managed to win the SEC Eastern division. Kentucky and Vanderbilt.

So that puts Miami on par with the 2 worst teams in the SEC. Stoops was recruiting well for Kentucky. So I guess he has them headed in the right direction. :thumbup:

I like how you managed to ignore the whole post yet still comment on it. Plus your taking what I say out of context but I'll dumb it down for you. In 2015 Miami was 8-5, their offense ranked 67th in the country their recruiting class was 21st. MR took over in his 1st full recruiting cycle finished 12th, their offense was 57th and they finished 9-4 and they now have by a land slide the #1 class for 2018. I'd say that's a team headed in the right direction. Now let's look at you're boy Mac, in 2014 UF was 7-5, their offense ranked 96th, their recruiting finished 9th. Mac took over in his 1st full cycle finished 12th, his offense was 112th and we finished 10-4, in his 2nd full recruiting class he finished 10th, his offense finished 116th and we finished 9-4.
Now if you can't tell that one team his head up and one is headed down I can't help you.

"Analysts have forgotten that 11 days ago this team was shutdown in the 2nd half by Michigan and only scored 24 points in the Big 10 title game.

We are better than them across the board except for assists. We average more points and give up 16 less points per game." That is a direct quote from me during March madness before we played Wisconsin.

I'm super proud of the basketball team and I like Mike White a whole lot. I watched today's baseball game at Ale House didn't realize we were suppose to talk about baseball before the playoffs. I follow our softball team as well who won today 3-0 over Ole Miss. But let's be honest this board talks 98% football so that's what I see most and it's what dominates the headlines. Questioning whether or not I'm a Gator fan is you're way of not having a comeback to what I have to say it's a cop-out, it let's me know you think I'm right but can't admit it so you say oh he's not a Gator fan he's a troll. I congratulated Mac for pulling in a good class so to say I never have something positive to say is a lie. I give credit when credit is do when it comes to football it just don't come often under Mac because he's trash.

scUM is going to be scUM. Richt.....the same. Will always do less with more. Nothing to see in Cane land which is obvious for their spring game.

Well I base it on how well the program is overall. I look at the fact that we both finished the season 9-4, we finished recruiting with pretty much the same average, we finished the season 2-2 in our last 4 with 2 blowout losses they finished on a 4 game win streak, they are killing it in recruiting for next year and have the #1 class by a long shot at the moment with an average of 91.82 and we are below our average from last year sitting at 87.42 and sit behind Northwestern, Minnesota, Kansas, and Kentucky in recruiting for next season. Oh and to your point MR is out recruiting Mac despite not having an on site facility like Mac does. And I am comparing our football programs not our overall program I thought you'd understand that part but I guess sometimes that has to be explained.

I understood that to some football is everything, thanks for making that clear. Just who did they play in their last four games, I bet one was not say Bama or Clemson. Sure it appears that the U is coming back and I agree getting a much better coach than before will do that. They have some natural advantages that a good coach can use. Now I look at attendance and interest somewhat, you never hear the U going around the state having meetings of fans. The reason is most all of their fans are in south florida. You never read about say do good around the world U day. So yes our "program" to me is much more than just wins and losses or perception in recruiting. I might measure our programs by the fact that we don't play them anymore and if we did they would get much more out of it than we would.

Having a different opinion is great so I don't expect to change anybody's minds.

Thanks for a good reply.

Meh, we out recruited them by two spots last year, including taking two of their targets on NSD. There is also the fact that Mac closes stronger than he starts, even though we'd like to see him start much better. And Miami, well they are going to lose commits. When teams start pressing their recruits, the negative recruiting will start. Crowd size, lack of success by MR, how they lied about UF cheating last cycle.

Google is your friend

Miami went 9-4, with 3 streaks. Four wins against FAMU, FAU, App St., and GT. Four losses against FSU, UNC, VT, and ND. Five wins against Pitt, UVA, NCST, Duke, and WVU (Bowl). No Clemson. No notable wins.
