John Mateer is the one to grab from Washington State and was Cam Ward's back up last year. In his first year as a sophomore, he was 14th ranked in passing yards. He had a good year. 224 comp out of 347 att 64.6 Pct 3,139 yards 29 TDs 7 Ints. He also ran for 826 yards avg 4.6 and 15 TDs. 3,965 total yards and 44 total TDs on the same below average team. He can throw on the run or extend the play. Give him Miami's O line and WRs and great running back room.
Emory. Emory has the talent, a year to learn from Cam and when the game is on the line, we know Emory won’t flinch… his one playing time was what 11/12 with a TD? Plus now matured, he’s came be amazing
@ please excuse my grammar, *can(as in could)… when it was fourth and the ball game, true freshman got the first down, pure bad luck his arm got snapped, but in his position, playing that fsu defense and kept a 7-5 Miami team in it, until TVD came in of course… but yeah, I’m willing to ride with him, especially with his accuracy.. but not sure why you so big mad at Emory for doing his best lol
Let’s roll with Emory. He sat back and watched CWard Shine. Our Offense will be Good. So he knows what we need and want in QB Play✅ Prayers going up for you on that Upcoming Surgery Coach Coop🙏🏽✨✨
Coop, I’m hoping Emory Williams is the answer! The guy looked good as a freshman, has the prototypical size, and the heart to lay it on the line getting injured in the 2023 FSU game trying to get a first down! Also I’d like to see Miami develop some of their own recruits, not just grabbing talent from the portal!
Mensah was the only one I would have wanted but he went to Duke. Emory is better than everyone else you mentioned. He has been with the team for 2 full years with Dawson and is a legit baller and leader.
If Emory or someone else on the roster dont start next year it will be hard to get a QB to come to Miami if they know all you looking for is other team established QB.
If this is the crop of dudes that are in the QB portal I’d rather roll the dice and see what Emory can do. These dudes don’t move the needle for the money they’ll command. Use that money on the defense because you’ll have a tougher schedule and a better defense will be needed.
There’s no reason for Emory not to have his time to shine. He bailed us out of TVD trouble, gave up his arm for the team and been mentored by Cam. If we keep getting portal starters, why bother recruiting?
Defense doesn't win Championships. It sounds good but doesn't fit in today's game. While having a really sorry defense isn't ideal, you can easily look up who is in the cfp and their defensive rankings. Miami just had their best record in 24 years with its worse defense in 24 years and best offense in 24 years. It's just a cliché from the 80s. Championship game scores: Big Ten = 45 - 37, ACC = 34 - 31, SEC = 22 - 19, Big 12 = 45 - 19. The winner's averaged over 36 points to win their championship. Unless facts don't matter, there is you some facts that prove otherwise.
Coop, this is Emory's time. He has waited and proved he is ready. We can't continue to bring in portal QBs. This set's a bad precedence in the QB room. That said, we need more QBs. I would be ok if you bring a QB in to compete but don't promise a starting role.
In all honesty he hasn't proven anything just yet. When he did start last season they ran a very vanilla playbook that didn't require much of him. He'll need to absorb the complete playbook, and be able to execute it. He hasn't done that yet. He'll get a chance to prove himself, but without a legitimate threat to his starter spot (Anderson will compete with Luke for backup) Emory won't get pushed like he needs to be. Like all starters need to be as iron sharpens iron.
Miami needs to go into the Spring with the QBs on their roster and allow those guys to compete for the job. It will be much better for us to hit the portal for Positions of need that will make us a well rounded team not just an offensive juggernaut that can’t stop a nose bleed
Honestly idk if I'd really like to see us pick up a qb. If we get one then I think the Cal qb would be pretty good, other than that guy I think we roll with Emory and next year Nickel. Build the Defense up and make somethin special
No, he is too big of a gamble. The standard is now set. Can Emory win us at least 11 game and get to an ACC championship? My answer is no therefore Mario need to go get us a legit QB in the portal and let Emory walk.
No, he is too big of a gamble. The standard is now set. Can Emory win us at least 11 game and get to an ACC championship? My answer is no therefore Mario need to go get us a legit QB in the portal and let Emory walk.
You have to look at the entire room. Not just talent, but experience as well. I am looking forward to Emory getting his shot, but if he went down for the season, who is capable of leading the team ? For competition sake and depth sake I say YES Miami needs another quarterback. 🙌 On another note, I have been saying for two months now Mendoza would probably end up at Miami after making a impression on Mario in the Miami game. 🤷♂️
Concentrate on cb's, lb's and get that defense dominating like the offense did. Let's have all 3 phases clicking. Kick and punt returns and coverage, Offense and Defense.
If you guys had a half-decent defense last year, your canes would be in the playoffs for sure. Shootouts are fun to watch but it ends with inevitable losses eventually.
Yeah, but if we being honest, some of the teams in the playoffs don’t even have much of a chance winning it all, so why exclude the #1 offense? But yeah, all we needed to go undefeated was a half decent defense
Emery Williams, Judd Anderson, and Luke nickel! We have three quarterbacks, get a back up if you want, but leave our roster alone. We can’t bypass recruits or we won’t get any in the future. Go get defense, defense defense in the transfer portal. And an extra receiver just for good measure.
Prayers and well-wishes for the surgery, Coop! If Williams has developed more, I would say they should give him a chance. He seemed fairly solid and competent filling in last year and had FSU on the ropes, before his injury. It wasn't the prettiest game, but he grinded out a good performance against one of the top teams in the nation last year. If the offense continues to trend well, then he'll be fine, even though he doesn't quite have the playmaker ability that Ward has. Hopefully Williams will make up for that with a good TD/turnover ratio, though.
Koop, I think Mendoza does make some sense to bring in and have some competition at camp with Emory and the rest. We'll see. Hey good luck on your surgery and I wish you get a speedy recovery.
Emory Williams is an extremely accurate, smart, and tenacious leader and competitor. I think the lack of game experience behind Emory in the depth chart might warrant getting a QB with game experience but not one who would only come to Miami with the assurance of a starting nod, and understands that open competition in Spring and Fall camps would determine who gets the nod. Go Canes!
Is Beck at GA a great qb? Is Ewers at TX a great qb? Is Gabriel at OR a great qb? No! They all are average but have a good o-line and back field. Emory will have that here so spend some money on the defense. Bringing in another transfer will discourage current recruits and future recruiting at that position. Let it ride... Emory, Judd and Luke can compete imo.
With our early schedule we need a battle tested QB. I like Mendoza he reminds me of Dorsey. He’s a Soph and had decent stats with minimal talent around him. He torched us ! Plus he has HEART! He was in tears after game leading Cal to a bowl game with comeback win. Thats what we need. I’ll also take Mateer who is a Soph. That’s my 2 cents.
What are the chances of the 'Canes landing someone like Cam Ward? NO WAY! First of all, who else comes to a new college with EVERYTHING he needs to win? He has all of the tools. He is studious. He is generous with the way he shares the ball with eight receivers playing in one game, and the way he shares his good fortune by buying those diamond-encrusted silver number necklaces for his teammates. Although he's a "one and done" guy, he came to Miami, ready to embrace the U and learn the playbook. Who else? None of those guys you mentioned. Coach Coop, can you see the kind of talent Cam has in ANY of those available transfer quarterbacks?
I fully believe they need to believe in there guys the transfer route is a stop gap option you have to prove you can develop the guys you get in recruiting!
Mateer ! No question. Multiple years,dual threat and he’s a winner. Watched him all year and he fought every game to the end. WSU had no D this year so they basically had to out score everyone. As for worrying about the D, if we have enough money committed (which we should) we can hit on both sides of the ball in the portal.
#1 Good Luck with Surgery and Heal Up quickly Coop 🙏🙏🙏 Get well for the Bowl Game I to think 11 wins and a Top 10 finish would help ease the frustration of missing playoffs with #1 Offense and Top QB in CFB,,,Go Canes 🏈
What Miami is complimentary football and that means getting a Defensive coordinator that can develop, and get his team to adjust to deferent schemes. The QB Miami is more than capable if he isn't required to be Superman like Cam.
Hi Coop! Good show! I think we should go get us a portal QB, but not a guaranteed starter type. If we get that, I think Emory Williams hits the portal. It needs to be someone that can help provide depth, but not a guarantee that he'll start. He has to know he'll be coming in to compete for the job, not handed the job. We can't risk tossing a hand grenade into the QB room and losing most of what we have. That is also why we don't need to bring in a high profile, multiple year QB. We can't afford to lose the future of the U, by losing Emory, Judd and even Luke. Just my thoughts.
If there were another option this year on the same level as Cam I would understand, but if we’re talking about someone like Mendoza, I’ll pass. I’d rather we just take every red cent in NIL money and spend it on the defense.
Before I watch the video, let me say this. CFB is not the same as it was when many of you watched it growing up. Yes players still want to win, but with NIL, they want to secure their future immediately. Coming out of high school, thinking you’re guaranteed to go pro, when you haven’t played a single game in college, just isn’t reasonable thinking. The #1 priority is NIL. The #2 priority is being developed into the player they need to be in order to get drafted, so that they can further solidly their financial future for themselves and their family. The program should not be focused on simply winning now. We have the NIL money to give them. We need to prove that we can develop our players to get drafted on draft day. Winning is #3 on the priority list. If this wasn’t the case, then Florida and other teams with poor seasons wouldn’t have got the commits they did. The answer to this question is whether or not we can develop Emory into a good pick on draft day. If this is a yes, then that is exactly what we do. Even if he goes 8-4 his first season, in the end, we need to get him developed and drafted so that way, we have a strong pitch to the QB recruit that follows him. Miami did not prove anything with Ward except that we can have a great offense if we have the right QB. The teams before us were the ones who truly developed him. Sure, we may have had a part in his development, big or small, but he was not our recruit. If we cannot develop Emory to succeed on draft day, then we need to hit the portal in order to provide some insurance on our program.
My two questions are first of all why didn’t we take Mendoza? He’s from Miami second of all quarterback from Washington State looks really good but the true freshman and Emery I think there’s a little bit of potential there. Don’t really know too much about Judd Anderson, though.
Wassup Coop 🙌🏼. I think we should get a transfer QB just to challenge our other QBs n see who wins the starting job. But I would love to see what Emory Williams could do leading the team in a full season. Would rather have him as our starting QB next year 💯. But I kno our staff gonna want to see a challenge bringing in someone else. Let's get it 🙌🏼..... John Mateer tho 👀. Good Luck on the surgery bro 🙏🏼 prayers
In order for Miami to complete the next step forward they need to go out and win this booty spank bowl. It’s needed for the program for many, many reasons. I want Mario coaching with edge in this game
Emory is the QB for Miami 2025.... We have a great QB room.... We don't need to lose any of the guys already in the room. I believe Emory Williams is going to be great for us. Go Canes 🎉 Coach Coop prayers for you my friend. Successful surgery and quick recovery.... See you when you get back. Take care and know that we love ya.....
College football is no longer setup to where you can wait and build a team. They need to do well in recruiting on the defensive side and I like the Cali QB as an option. He’s a Miami native and will be more driven to showcase his talents for his home town
Get well soon Coop 🙏.. Emory Williams!!! He played with the best, deserves a shot DEFENSE needs explosive speed off the line, close the gaps and disrupt the QB. Coaching needs to be Reevaluated. Miami used to be famous for their blazing speed. Bring it back!! I don't care how big you are, if you don't explode off the line, play's over.
Hmmm… I say Mario is going to look to the left (Mendoza) to the right (Williams) and say Im going with a proven player ready to go. He’ll bring Mendoza and Williams will go to the portal. Mendoza is turn key and will be a tremendous positive influence on Nickel for the future.
I think the only correct answer here is... ABSOLUTELY! Competition makes everyone get better, and right now Emory has no legitimate threat to start right now to push him. Judd has no snaps, and Luke is a true freshman. The Canes need someone with meaningful snaps under his belt, and can push Emory. Cam at least has Emory behind him, but behind Emory would be a big drop off. So yes, sign a portal QB.
If there is a qb out there who’s heisman contender level then yes Miami should go after them if not then stick with who we have and focus more after finding some defensive talent because our def is very bad
What do YOU think? Should Miami offer a transfer portal QB? If so, who is a good fit right now?
@@CoachCoop we need to get Mendoza he from Miami FL make sense to me
No. Make Mario prove he can develop his own recruits. Stop throwing good money after bad on Mario.
If Mario brings in another QB, Emory and Judd should leave.
The whole CFB world saw Mario 💩 the bed when it matters just like he's been doing for 16 years. The Mario skid is beginning, Coop.
that's for cmc to know and for us to find out.
John Mateer is the one to grab from Washington State and was Cam Ward's back up last year. In his first year as a sophomore, he was 14th ranked in passing yards. He had a good year. 224 comp out of 347 att 64.6 Pct 3,139 yards 29 TDs 7 Ints. He also ran for 826 yards avg 4.6 and 15 TDs. 3,965 total yards and 44 total TDs on the same below average team.

@@jeffb1013 where and when did you see Emory game was Amazing ? Emory is too slow. We need a dual treat qb.
@ please excuse my grammar, *can(as in could)… when it was fourth and the ball game, true freshman got the first down, pure bad luck his arm got snapped, but in his position, playing that fsu defense and kept a 7-5 Miami team in it, until TVD came in of course… but yeah, I’m willing to ride with him, especially with his accuracy.. but not sure why you so big mad at Emory for doing his best lol
I THINK WE SHOULD WORK WITH WHAT WE GOT AND FOCUS MORE ON OUR DEFENSE.
ya don't have to yell about it Bill.
Exactly bring in defensive stars from the portal and a couple WRs
If you ask me, Emory has earned his spot.
Coop, good luck with your surgery! Praying for fast healing!
Let’s roll with Emory. He sat back and watched CWard Shine.
Our Offense will be Good.
So he knows what we need and want in QB Play✅
Prayers going up for you on that Upcoming Surgery Coach Coop🙏🏽✨✨
Coop you inspire me . Period .. you are the hardest working person for the U (besides danno)
CanesInsight putting that work in as well. 🙌
Coop, I’m hoping Emory Williams is the answer! The guy looked good as a freshman, has the prototypical size, and the heart to lay it on the line getting injured in the 2023 FSU game trying to get a first down! Also I’d like to see Miami develop some of their own recruits, not just grabbing talent from the portal!
Developing their own recruits is how we will get better recruits. Transfers are just bandaids
Start using those running backs.Big offense line, control the line of scrimmage, shorten the game.
Can’t run if the defense is trash.
Need Martinez to come back and build up that draft stock.
Mensah was the only one I would have wanted but he went to Duke. Emory is better than everyone else you mentioned. He has been with the team for 2 full years with Dawson and is a legit baller and leader.
Prayers for surgery!!
If Emory or someone else on the roster dont start next year it will be hard to get a QB to come to Miami if they know all you looking for is other team established QB.
Gotta let Emory and the others in house compete for starting QB. We need to develop our young QBs to eventually be hallmark Miami QBs.
The Canes need to develop the defensive secondary.
If this is the crop of dudes that are in the QB portal I’d rather roll the dice and see what Emory can do. These dudes don’t move the needle for the money they’ll command. Use that money on the defense because you’ll have a tougher schedule and a better defense will be needed.
There’s no reason for Emory not to have his time to shine. He bailed us out of TVD trouble, gave up his arm for the team and been mentored by Cam. If we keep getting portal starters, why bother recruiting?
No, stay with those on the roster and strengthen the defense! With a strong defense we don’t need a superstar. Defense wins championships!
Absolutely agreed. This means we must hire a new, GREAT DC and get ourselves great defensive players.
Defense doesn't win Championships. It sounds good but doesn't fit in today's game. While having a really sorry defense isn't ideal, you can easily look up who is in the cfp and their defensive rankings.

Unless facts don't matter, there is you some facts that prove otherwise.
I think we should rock with Emory and everyone else we have already
I'm like this Coop see what the QB room looks like through the spring
then see who comes open after that hopefully we're good with what we got.
That QB is in Nebraska! Go get em’.
Coop, this is Emory's time. He has waited and proved he is ready. We can't continue to bring in portal QBs. This set's a bad precedence in the QB room. That said, we need more QBs. I would be ok if you bring a QB in to compete but don't promise a starting role.

Like all starters need to be as iron sharpens iron.
Emory I believe will be a good QB,
We want Emory to be given the keys to the offense. We believe Emory Williams can get the job done
Miami needs to go into the Spring with the QBs on their roster and allow those guys to compete for the job. It will be much better for us to hit the portal for Positions of need that will make us a well rounded team not just an offensive juggernaut that can’t stop a nose bleed
Emory should be given a chance. Get some defensive players. You get healthy Coop.
Honestly idk if I'd really like to see us pick up a qb. If we get one then I think the Cal qb would be pretty good, other than that guy I think we roll with Emory and next year Nickel. Build the Defense up and make somethin special
Emory is fine
Yeah
Absolutely. The guy proved he has potential. He must be given the chance to start, not benched to promote another portal guy's NFL potential.
No, he is too big of a gamble. The standard is now set. Can Emory win us at least 11 game and get to an ACC championship? My answer is no therefore Mario need to go get us a legit QB in the portal and let Emory walk.

Lol people are drinking the Kool aid. We need a mature dual threat
Prayers to your coop and a speedy recovery you got this. #YouKnowItCanesForLife.
Best of luck with the surgery Coop! Thanks for all you do. Wishing you a successful procedure and speedy recovery
You have to look at the entire room.
Not just talent, but experience as well.
I am looking forward to Emory getting his shot, but if he went down for the season, who is capable of leading the team ?
For competition sake and depth sake I say YES Miami needs another quarterback. 🙌
On another note, I have been saying for two months now Mendoza would probably end up at Miami after making a impression on Mario in the Miami game. 🤷♂️
Good luck on the surgery. Praying for a speedy recovery! 🙏🏼
If our recrutes never get a chance and keep getting jumped In front of by portal guys nobody going to want to come to Miami
Spend the money on the the defense
Short of Arch Manning being available, miami doesn't need a qb. Emory needs his chance and then luke nickel in a few years
Concentrate on cb's, lb's and get that defense dominating like the offense did. Let's have all 3 phases clicking. Kick and punt returns and coverage, Offense and Defense.
If you guys had a half-decent defense last year, your canes would be in the playoffs for sure. Shootouts are fun to watch but it ends with inevitable losses eventually.
Yeah, but if we being honest, some of the teams in the playoffs don’t even have much of a chance winning it all, so why exclude the #1 offense? But yeah, all we needed to go undefeated was a half decent defense
Emery Williams, Judd Anderson, and Luke nickel! We have three quarterbacks, get a back up if you want, but leave our roster alone. We can’t bypass recruits or we won’t get any in the future. Go get defense, defense defense in the transfer portal. And an extra receiver just for good measure.
You need to have 2 decent options at QB in the portal era. It would also be good to have a competition imo.
Emory proved to me 2 years ago against Florida state he has the talent to be QB#1
The standard is 10 win now. Can Emory win us 11 games. The answer is no. So go get us a portal qb
@ronaldluc7740 the answer is yea
Huh? Miami was dominated in that game. Final score was misleading.
Prayers and well-wishes for the surgery, Coop! If Williams has developed more, I would say they should give him a chance. He seemed fairly solid and competent filling in last year and had FSU on the ropes, before his injury. It wasn't the prettiest game, but he grinded out a good performance against one of the top teams in the nation last year. If the offense continues to trend well, then he'll be fine, even though he doesn't quite have the playmaker ability that Ward has. Hopefully Williams will make up for that with a good TD/turnover ratio, though.
I LOVE OUR QB ROOM (and our offensive side of the ball) go after the defensive side please.. specifically DB.. maybe one of two guys )
And get a PROVEN BIG NAME DC.
The people wanting TVD back are nuts.
I'm thinking it's a head injury.
I wouldn’t Mind Mendoza since he was a lifelong Cane fan and he played with a chip on his shoulder in that Cal game
At some point we have to start developing our own recruits or continue to lose players to the portal
Yep. It's a double-edged sword.
Koop, I think Mendoza does make some sense to bring in and have some competition at camp with Emory and the rest. We'll see. Hey good luck on your surgery and I wish you get a speedy recovery.
Give Emory a chance and get another QB for competition because you only have 3 QBs. If the the Washington state QB becomes available then jump on him.
Hell no to mendoza
Emory train with Cam, give him a God dang shot man!! Mendoza did play his ass off against us though 🙌
Totally agree that Miami needs a QB with multiple years of eligibility. Also try to recruit a 5 star like Gators did with DJ.
Emory Williams is an extremely accurate, smart, and tenacious leader and competitor. I think the lack of game experience behind Emory in the depth chart might warrant getting a QB with game experience but not one who would only come to Miami with the assurance of a starting nod, and understands that open competition in Spring and Fall camps would determine who gets the nod. Go Canes!
We have not seen enough from the QBs . I would take one to be safe
Is Beck at GA a great qb? Is Ewers at TX a great qb? Is Gabriel at OR a great qb? No!
They all are average but have a good o-line and back field. Emory will have that here so spend some money on the defense.
Bringing in another transfer will discourage current recruits and future recruiting at that position.

Ride with emory. Just go find him some weapons and watch him work
#1 Good Luck with Surgery and Heal Up quickly Coop 🙏🙏🙏 Get well for the Bowl Game I to think 11 wins and a Top 10 finish would help ease the frustration of missing playoffs with #1 Offense and Top QB in CFB,,,Go Canes 🏈
Miami needs a new DC more than a new QB.
Tru
What Miami is complimentary football and that means getting a Defensive coordinator that can develop, and get his team to adjust to deferent schemes. The QB Miami is more than capable if he isn't required to be Superman like Cam.
I don’t want Miami to get into this pattern of looking for a replacement Portal QB every year. Develop our guys!
Hi Coop! Good show! I think we should go get us a portal QB, but not a guaranteed starter type. If we get that, I think Emory Williams hits the portal. It needs to be someone that can help provide depth, but not a guarantee that he'll start. He has to know he'll be coming in to compete for the job, not handed the job.

We can't afford to lose the future of the U, by losing Emory, Judd and even Luke. Just my thoughts.
Mendoza is a great fit. And he always wanted to play at Miami
If there were another option this year on the same level as Cam I would understand, but if we’re talking about someone like Mendoza, I’ll pass. I’d rather we just take every red cent in NIL money and spend it on the defense.
Quinn Ewers would look good in the #3
Before I watch the video, let me say this. CFB is not the same as it was when many of you watched it growing up.

Not quite a Cam Ward in the portal this year. Hope for Coop's sanity yall have a serviceable QB that suits up for opening day!
If Miami looks for another QB Emory should leave a f make another team great. And Emory is not going down. Surgery will be good!! Get well soon Coop!!
Boost up the defense and get 1-2 WRs.
We need DEFENSE!!! We got a QB (EW) we got trash defenders. Put all the money where we need it!
Why is this so hard for these UA-camrs to understand? 🤷🏻
I don’t want any more rentals it drives me insane
Wassup Coop 🙌🏼. I think we should get a transfer QB just to challenge our other QBs n see who wins the starting job. But I would love to see what Emory Williams could do leading the team in a full season. Would rather have him as our starting QB next year 💯. But I kno our staff gonna want to see a challenge bringing in someone else. Let's get it 🙌🏼..... John Mateer tho 👀. Good Luck on the surgery bro 🙏🏼 prayers
Hope your surgery goes well Coop. As for a consilation prize, we will give da U DJU.
Coop, we need E.W at the helm he deserve it.
In order for Miami to complete the next step forward they need to go out and win this booty spank bowl. It’s needed for the program for many, many reasons. I want Mario coaching with edge in this game
We need some DB’s
Bring in a qb but don't hand him the job, make him compete for it and may the best man win, good luck Coop.
We need a lot of help on defense and or Defensive Coordinator. Let’s ride with Emory.
Emory is the QB for Miami 2025.... We have a great QB room.... We don't need to lose any of the guys already in the room. I believe Emory Williams is going to be great for us. Go Canes 🎉
Coach Coop prayers for you my friend. Successful surgery and quick recovery....
See you when you get back. Take care and know that we love ya.....
College football is no longer setup to where you can wait and build a team. They need to do well in recruiting on the defensive side and I like the Cali QB as an option. He’s a Miami native and will be more driven to showcase his talents for his home town
Get well soon man ❤
Yes need to get miss st quarterback, or Nebraska if available
Get well soon Coop 🙏.. Emory Williams!!! He played with the best, deserves a shot DEFENSE needs explosive speed off the line, close the gaps and disrupt the QB. Coaching needs to be Reevaluated. Miami used to be famous for their blazing speed. Bring it back!! I don't care how big you are, if you don't explode off the line, play's over.
Castellanos was coached by Gus Malzhan at UCF and now old man Gus is at FSPOO
TVD IS IN THE PORTAL 🤣🤣🤣🤣 MAYBE THE GATURDS CAN GET HIM SINCE LAGWAY SUCKS 🤪🤣
I saw a comment on another channel where they suggested TVD return to Miami!! 🤦🏻
Hmmm… I say Mario is going to look to the left (Mendoza) to the right (Williams) and say Im going with a proven player ready to go. He’ll bring Mendoza and Williams will go to the portal. Mendoza is turn key and will be a tremendous positive influence on Nickel for the future.
If we aren’t getting that Qb from Washington state then stick with Emory and get the defense better !
What about Air Noland now that he is available?
I think the only correct answer here is...
ABSOLUTELY!
Competition makes everyone get better, and right now Emory has no legitimate threat to start right now to push him. Judd has no snaps, and Luke is a true freshman. The Canes need someone with meaningful snaps under his belt, and can push Emory. Cam at least has Emory behind him, but behind Emory would be a big drop off.
So yes, sign a portal QB.
Build that defense up and build the run game and we'll ride with Emory.
I think we should give the offense to Emory, but also go get Mendoza if possible.
Good luck in the surgery.
I like mateer and a top wr and the rest on defense
If there is a qb out there who’s heisman contender level then yes Miami should go after them if not then stick with who we have and focus more after finding some defensive talent because our def is very bad
Just let Emory play QB
No Miami have Luke Nickel coming
Mendoza is ok,I don't know if he's the answer but ok,
We need defense more than anything
