There has been a lot of blame on poor coaching, but this loss was NOT all on the coaches. You put those kids out there on defense who dont have the horses to make stops. Period. They have to stop somebody and yesterday proved that the talent was not there to make stops. All year long, the defense never got their back up and never showed any consistency. They could not stop anybody. The perimeter and boundary defense was awful and good to average offenses took advantage of their chink in the armour. If you want to contend for a championship of any kind, the Canes have to be great on both sides of the ball. Stop deluding yourselves, until we recruit the kind of defensive players that we had when we won 5 rings, we wont make a serious run. I have confidence that our coach is dedicated to getting the D turned around, just like he has done with the O.

[@JoeShmoe-j3t]

Lame excuse. Points in that situation helped. There was plenty of time for Miami to get a stop and put the offense back out there. Penalties on that last drive along with the defense being bottom line incompetent is what lost us that game. Stop blaming everything on the coaches.

This loss is on Dawson just as much as it is on guidry and it's been got to be on Mario ultimately cuz he's on top. Man running the ball we could have beat Syracuse with ease. I really think they were trying to get Cam Ward back into the Heisman race there's no other explanation for it That makes sense. I'm so sick of this team disappointing me.

Fire Guidry. I'm not blaming anything that Cam or Mario did. They scored 38 and have the best offense in the nation. That's enough to win all your games if you have any semblance of a defense. To put any blame on the only bright spot of this season (the offense and scouting, aka Mario, that brought this offense together, along with OC) is absolutely insane if you ask me. All credibility and respect as a knowledgeable football person is lost IMO from that point on. Then those that have an issue with the field goal - acting like Syracuse would not have gotten the ball back REGARDLESS with THEN an OPEN PLAYBOOK to drive against a defense that hadn't stopped a drive with a score since the first few minutes of the game...I mean what the hell are you smoking man?! If the Canes gamble and get the TD Syracuse is laid out with the scenario above and chances are very likely that they drive and win the game. If you miss you have ENDED THE GAME EARLY. If they take the auto 3 they have an actual chance of holding this team by limiting them to just the one thing that they had been able to stop..the run. I mean JC Miami fans deserve this. I've grown up hearing this same BS all my life during talk radio. The call was the right call with anyone that doesn't have the constant propensity to second guess everything the coaches do, like they know the future; except worse in this case, doesn't even make any logical sense considering the scenarios presented above.

When the Miami players play every team the way they play Clemson, Florida, or FSU they will win the ACC. They don’t respect these other teams and they keep getting beat. You can see the arrogance. They are afraid to lose to these teams but always play like we will get them the next play against inferior teams. There is no next play. I’m excited to see Emory play now because teams reflect the personality of the QB. Grit, hard work, and want to! Hard work beats talent every time when talent doesn’t work hard. That’s the problem at the core. Love Cam but I said it all year if he could just run the play and take the check down they would almost never have these lulls. That arrogance cost possessions you have to have in big games. Syracuse qb best plays were unnoticed. Consistently throwing the little 5 yards pass to get a first down or 3rd and 2. Achilles heel of Cam. Doesn’t like to do it consistently.

This is definitely not the same team that beat Florida and for those people that will say "Florida sucks"!!, well you're wrong. Florida had the toughest schedule in the country where many experts had them winning no more than 3 games and yet they finished 7-5 which in my opinion, Napier did a better coaching job than Cristobal. I don't think Miami deserves a spot in the playoffs but I'm also thinking that the committee might squeak them in because of ratings. Let's be realistic, Miami is a big regardless what people may think. Half the country loves them and the other half hates them but people still likes to watch them but we'll see. I never cozy up to Ward because i feel players like him will have coaches become lazy and lack of creativity in play calling which made Miami predictable. If the committee leaves them out, it's well deserved but if they put them in, it would be for ratings and FSU will definitely be pissed if Miami is in, especially what happened to them last year 😅

I think the offense was great all season and really have no complaints there. The defense was so bad that I don't know if I can even blame Guidry. The defensive line was getting completely blown off the ball. There was 0 pass rush. Players getting completely burned off of one move. And the missed tackles.... The other thing I find annoying is that after every defensive play, there is always a Miami player flailing on the ground in pain, which to me indicates their taking it and not giving it. The defense wasn't bad last year. I don't know why they regressed so much.

[@ShiftGolf]

When you have 2 refs standing right next to Jacolby George laying on the ground at the 1 yard line with a syracuse defender standing directly over him and taunting him only to give George a 15 yard penalty to move Miami out of scoring position, and you think this game wasn't changed by ref calls? 5-7 calls made to bring plays back plus a phantom 3 & 10 PI on a clean break up to give syr a 1st goal to score from the 1 yard line. You don't think the refs made a difference in the game? Look at what the refs did to Ga Tech who had the game won until the refs took control and allowed illegal hits on the QB made no calls. The refs have no review process and it is pretty evident they are stealing games and the fans are starting to catch on.

And a dumb play call at that…🤦🏽‍♂️

[@rashardcoleman4652]

The fact that. Lesson is goin in our place makes it so much worse 😔

[@NewsanceInHD]

That 15 yard penalty by George cost us the game. But I’m not sure if our defense would have stopped Syracuse with 3 minutes left

[@manuelesoto23]

This is a huge failure. We also missed an opportunity to get Emory Williams some experience.

[@dela.6150]

Emory will get his shot at the meaningless bowl game so do not worry

[@JahzeelDejesus]

Our defense plays like their afraid we lost our moment

[@Michael-uj8ql]

Defenses win Championships. Miami doesn't have a defense and won't have a championship. I agree, the defensive staff has been suspect for quite some time.

[@Hurricane_Dan]

I'm so sick right now. I feel bad for cam.

[@anthonybethel4569]

Ditto...

[@LisaSnow3]

Cam is good regardless. His NFL stock still high, he has money and sponsorships. I doubt he even cares honestly

[@850CANE]

​@@LisaSnow3yeah. He's fine. I feel bad for us fans!

[@ikecanelife6529]

Yes, he downplayed it, and he always do

[@miamieverett]

Look up 21 offensive put up 38 points u should win Defense play the worse yet no stop at all in the second half

[@352ucanes9]

Its over bro.

[@gregyoder1701]

I’ve been saying since kneel down, we can only hope talent can outweigh coaching.

[@carloswalker221]

Everyone be honest you know this defense would cost you either against Syracuse or SMU

[@mikewilliams1482]

Yup. I honestly thought that syracuse would be the tougher opponent. They were.

[@andy_k3703]

Where are the rest of the press conference videos from the players?

[@PastorDanWhite]

Should have gone for it on 4th and goal. RPO. If no touchdown, Cuse has to drive almost the entire field.

[@prdawg215]

The Jacolby George personal foul, and the X fumble alone did not cost us the game. Overall, the defensive backfield let Syracuse run up the scoreboard. Giving up 42 points in a game is not sustainable to win a championship.

[@marcuswhite5867]

This rest on with Head Coach Mario and DC Guidry.. it a Coach job to make sure that they the players was ready to play tuff and Smart an execute an game plans…

[@dr.pendyke4887]

If we had even a mediocre defense that got stops and turnovers occasionally we would be ranked #1 or 2 because our offense is that good. We took the field this season with an offense that was actually a liability so Mario has a lot of work to do on that side of the ball beginning with finding a defensive coordinator who is good.

[@harolddecker4666]

Should have gone for it on 4th down. I went to the game and I heard this from several fans. I am tired of personal fouls!

[@jeffersonlee-i2z]

Canes can no longer win the big one, what a surprise! They were up 21-0 and still lost and not deserve a playoff game. No defense at all, bad coaching, and no discipline, especially with Jacoby George taking a 15 yard unsportsmansmanlike conduct with the Canes on the verge of scoring late in the game.Unreal!!!! Then the coach decides to kick a field goal, which ended the game, great decision making!!

[@fantalationzone7207]

At least Jason Taylor had the guts to replaceTyler Baron in Starting line up. Kiko should of been replaced and Harris should of been replaced

[@dela.6150]

I’ve been thinking about why markeith wasn’t in the starting lineup over Harris. I think Mario should do this make Jason Taylor DC and go get Patrick Surtain SR. To be the DB coach and co-dc or bring back ed reed

[@dagoatunleashed5926]

I’m grateful for 10-2 but no ACCCG is very disappointing

[@tteegarden]

Syracuse has one of the best offenses in the country & McCord is a top 2-3 QBs in the country. Kick that field goal or score a TD, Miami was still probably screwed with their garbage defense.

[@KennyLauderdale]

The defense took on the personality of the DC. They are a reflection of him. His inability to correct issues on the spot is a problem. Ethan personnel adjustments. Alignment. he simply got outcoached. And once he was exposed against Virginia Tech, the cat was out the bag

[@Ren_138]

You can't blame the d-line for not getting pressure when McCord was able to get the ball out so quick with the wide receivers running open every play. There is no chance they get a playoff spot.

[@arronfrazier7873]

How is it, Syracuse and main other Miami opponents WR get open on a regular basis, all year? Yet, Miami WR have to fight to get open!

[@kermitrussell2455]

Damari did ply, go back and watch #6 on defense

[@mikejeezy8056]

FACTS

[@fantalationzone7207]

Can we get a secondary coach that teaches kids to turn around and play the ball

[@arronfrazier7873]

Guys don't forget year 1 in 2022, when, MTSU WR did to Miami secondary, Syracuse and countless others in 2024 have done against Miami secondary. I don't want to hear about a talent issue! Mario knew about this for 3 years.

[@harryhoesch3793]

We need to lance, Lance. He must be on the take, because no one can repeat the same mistakes so consistently without making adjustments or a game plan change.

[@djl0fne]

Going into the season we new the db were the weakness of the team
