Watching this Miami game and they are down 9-0. It's pretty remarkable how all three of these stories programs cannot find the right coach to get it turned around. The jury is still out on Heupel as of now. The only difference in the three is at least Nebraska and UT still draw crowds. Miami looks lifeless out there against Virginia

There’s no excuse to not have a respectable program at Miami. Way too much talent in the state and you play in a crap conference. However the university admin settles for shite and hires people like Diaz

Miami starting QB and backup QB both injured and not playing so starting a true freshman, but still yeah they don't look good.

Miami won't invest the money to compete at the top.

This is what I don't get. Why won't they? Makes no sense to me. Where are the former players, boosters, etc who want to win and get back that elite level?

There is, actually. They are a private institution and they've had administrative leadership over the last 10 years or so that has been de-emphasizing athletics in favor of making it a "respected" academic institution.

FSU may be joining them soon they look to be the weakest from the former very successful programs from the 90's and 2000's.

be a Mizzou fan those 3 programs invest ten times more money in the football program.

We see this type of “wave of the hand” nod toward money by our posters way too much. My lad, money doesn’t grow on trees.. you actually have to have it, or raise it, or have a prospect of making it so you can borrow for it.
Miami doesn’t draw significant attendance. it is a smaller private school, smaller number of alums, many who don’t much care about football because the students don’t. All schools have to live in a monetary budget, despite what many young’uns on this board believe.
In the ‘80s Miami rose up with a series of good coaches, great recruiting, sexy geography, and cheating…before the rest of the world upgraded beyond Miami’s means. And then many started recruiting S.FL (thank you Nick Saban)… At the same time they deservedly went on probation. Even South Beach is no longer a big draw.
It will be a “process” for Miami to return to class A football. But that is true for a lot of schools, especially private ones.

Pretty sure I bought my last cable package from Virginia's head coach. Looks real familiar.

Miami gets what they fricking deserve for hiring the son of a communist kweer.

Yep, it was small, ... when they started making the Orange Bowl and other such bowls, it was a HUGE boost to their budget. Remember, they were independent. No sharing, etc. This was before they joined the Big East, and then the ACC; and before guaranteed TV money was insane. Going to a bowl was the way to make money, and doing so as an independent made you richer than if you were in the SEC (the SEC still shared bowl earnings, so if LSU went to the Sugar, they'd get a cut. IF I remember rightly, the way it went was-
team that went got cost of travel. You take what was left over, divide it equally among every team in the conference, and I think the conference got an equal share too. And the team that went got 2 shares, to everyone else's 1.)
As stated, Miami got the whole thing. So for awhile they were "wealthy".
Conference TV money blew that all away, killing a lot of incentive to do well. Now, it's about maintaining the conference image, and personal pride in the program. Florida State, and then Clemson maintained the ACC image; there's really no push to do more.

From 1994-2001, all three were responsible for five of the eight national titles won. Man, how times have changed.

Guess they should've joined the SEC when they had the chance. Oh well.

Miami died the day the Orange Bowl was torn down. Playing at Hard Rock just is not the same and they essentially lost their identity.

They should play in FIU's stadium. Might even be able to fill it up.
