A Lack of Institutional Control at “The U” is to Blame!

Okay, so this past Saturday what was supposed to be a college football game down in the Orange Bowl between Florida International & Miami quickly turned and better resembled an XFL game…Somewhere Vince McMahon is smiling. One thing that was noticeably missing though were the strippers turned cheerleaders on the sidelines. If we really think long and hard about this, I know it’s after that fact, but in all honesty was it a good idea in the first place that these schools even played?
On one side of the field you find athletes that are good enough THUGS to play at The U…On the opposite one finds athletes who just aren’t qualified enough in the THUG LIFE to represent The U. Let’s put it this way, if a dude gets dumped by a chickenhead for somebody else…When this love triangle comes face to face, some shit is going to go down. Now all we hear is just another reason Larry Coker should be fired. For what? For this? This is just another excuse!! While I tend to like to watch football when a football game is supposed to be going on and don’t condone what happened, Coker will receive blame for this even though he couldn’t have possibly prevented it. Here’s a secret, that just goes to show the entire country what Miami Football was, is, and will always be…TRUE THUGS! Fire Coker over lack of wins & losses, but to say he has lost total control down…Hey, this just in, nobody has ever had or ever will have control with that program! Nobody has, and nobody will and this holds true for anywhere! Why? Because it’s former Canes players such as Lamar Thomas who represents what the Miami football program stand for…The Thuggish Ruggish!
It’s just like in this entire Terrell Owens soap opera. It doesn’t matter which team he plays for…Doesn’t matter the coach in charge. All it boils down to is T.O. being T.O.. Same thing applies to the thugs who suit up for the Canes every year. Nobody can change it…Just like nobody will change T.O. Surprisingly Woody Paige made a good point on Cold Pizza this morning about this…Stating he would end the University of Miami’s Football program for a while, just as the school did with their basketball program. Of course we know that this will never happen, but it might be the only way to clean this program up…If that’s even possible?
Isn’t it funny that people want to point the blame at Coker for this too…Although we should expect nothing less though. Although when the “Malace at The Palace” occurred and Ron Artest & Stephen Jackson went up into the stands, did anybody point the finger at Rick Carlisle? No? All that was basically said throughout the entire ordeal was, “Well, what should we expect…It’s Ron Artest.” Not one time did we hear Carlisle’s name mentioned! So why is it different here in this case?
The fact of the matter is, yes, coaches do have the ability to control virtually everything within a given team, but there’s a point especially when dealing with gangsters, that the words you preach go in one ear & out the other. Now yes, this will go on Coker’s coaching resume, since it did happen on his watch…However, there’s not one coach in America that can change the entire persona of the University of Miami’s football program! Because it’s individuals, such as Lamar Thomas, former Cane players who are running the sidelines down there. Coker’s in a no win situation! And if things couldn’t get any worse, the University of Miami employees Lamar Thomas to do what he does and to say what he says! Before the University of Miami starts pointing more fingers at Coker, they best check themselves…Because it’s you guys who are failing in the development of youth, but who cares, right? It’s all about them Waterford Crystal footballs, right? For being a “supposedly”, (and I use that term loosely) a higher academic institution of learning…You cats are indeed failing miserably! Isn’t it time for the entire university to recognize this problem goes far beyond the football program? You guys down in Coral Gables for whatever reason haven’t recognized the entire university has a problem…Not just the football program! THUG LIFE BOY!
