🏈 Thoughts on Miami's AD using twitter to voice "unacceptable" performance

[planomateo]

I'm not a fan of this at all. I realize twitter is a communication tool. Just think it's poor taste for AD's to tweet these things.

By the look of his replies, I’d say Epic Fail.

Tweeting is so un-presidential, I mean un-AD-like...

Maybe...but effective...gets right to supporters/fan base....

I moved the political discussion POTUS discussion spinoff (from Miami AD thread)

I moved the political discussion

Not far enough.

My thoughts

When an AD does this it is usually because the AD has a strong personality and the HC has a weak personality. It strikes me as passive aggressive crap and I cringe when I see it

 

[planomateo]

Same AD that hired him in 2015, gave him an extension 1.5 years later.

Just seems that tweeting this was an unnecessary thing to do.

Move it a little more?

Pretty low class move. No problem if he had waited a few days after the game and spoke with the coach. Hopefully, Thug U will not make it back to what it was was.

No way Richt comes close to those dynasty years unless they start rounding up the south Florida talent again. And that hasn't happened by a long shot. Back in the day, they had so much talent that even a Larry Coker or Dennis Erickson could get them to the promised land.

Back in the day

Back in the day the U was a new and happening thing and then the alums had a lot of sway over the next couple of "generation" signing classes. Coker and Erickson inherited almost perpetual motion recruiting there for a while. Lots of talent leaving the sunshine state these days

 

[OldPlayer]

Is it a warning to Richt? Miami didn't show up and played like crap. There were a lot of expectations of Miami this year and none of them came to fruition.

 

[TUSKtimes]

There is a lot of pressure on Richt and right now recruiting isn't getting the Hurricanes back to the top. I'm sure the next recruiting day is motivating a lot of this. According to Bones, we have a DE, Chris Vogel, that's maybe trending back to us and away from Miami. it was a rough season.

I don't think you should air your dirty laundry out in public. Bad move by the AD.

 

[T&B]

When POTUS stoops to attacking everyone on twitter the standards and expectations of class/professionalism are diminished.

I can't put Erickson and Coker in the same sentence together (outside of them both being Miami coaches.)

I get the knock on Coker--title in first year and six years later he's 7-6. I do believe there needs to be an asterisk here. His first three years they were playing in the Big East, then the move to the ACC. That third year marked the downturn.

Erickson, on the other hand, won a title at Miami during his third year as well as his first. Sure, he benefited from what Jimmy Johnson left. That third year it was pretty much his program. There's the conference title his sixth year at Miami that has to be weighed.

Erickson left a sanctioned program.
Coker left a shell of one.

Whether you can or can't, Erickson ain't winning 2 NCs anywhere else but Miami. Talent is talent and if you have the supreme talent it becomes the great equalizer for anything coming down the pike. Kirby, for example, doesn't remind me of any great coach I can think of, neither did Richt before him. He will win big based on pure recruiting talent in Athens. Just the way it is.
