The Miami Hurricanes have dropped out of the Top 25 poll for the first time in about seven years. The program is losing and losing big. Larry Coker, the Miami Head Coach, is feeling heat from the press and fans. The Miami fans have to feel that players are resorting back to the immature activity that gave the Hurricane program a bad name for many years.
Before their game with the Louisville Cardinals, the Canes gathered at midfield to stomp on the Cardinal emblem. This resulted in pushing and almost a pre-game fight. This is the type of activity Coker promised to avoid when he arrived in South Florida. Miami, after all the taunting, got hammered by the Cardinals.
The Miami Hurricane program knows to win and the fans won’t tolerate anything less. I believe Coach Coker is losing control of the players and program. He needs to command more respect and eliminate all the “trash talking” to bring this program back to the elite status it carried year in and year out.
