The Miami Hurricanes have lost to another unranked team, this time the SMU Mustangs, and are now out of the ACC Championship Game picture unless something absolutely beyond possibility happens to the half dozen teams in line before them.
We had thousands I say THOUSANDS of folks write in this week and the resounding message was, “I think I want a divorce.”
OC in CG: Dear JD, I think I want a divorce
from my head coach. He wants us to be fyzical but won’t let us check out of a play even if there’s 8-11 men in the box. We had a public spat this weekend and I just can’t see how we come back from it now. Thanks- OC in CG.
Dear JD: OC in CG I can feel your pain. I’ve been tied to an ‘offensive minded’ head coach as an OC in my past, and it doesn’t work out. Especially ones that scored 13 PPG before you arrived, 30+ with you, and now are back to struggling to find three scores including in extra time. They meddle in the run scheme and think they have the answer, even when they’ve never called plays before (or at least with any success). It might be time to move on and find a new head coach who leans more towards your fresh air, and less towards a cloud of dust.
Lil guy’s BFF: Dear JD, I think my friendship might be costing me my happiness. We’ve been together since high school. We went our separate ways for college but came back together in our hometown to coach at his alma mater. Now we’ve followed each other from Miami to Oregon and back… but I’m starting to wonder if it was just an easy fit and not eternal. Help!!
Dear JD: BFF, as we grow older we hope to grow, too. We expect our high school pals to grow along side of us and to be a mirror image of ourselves but sometimes we go our separate ways. At the center of the issue seems to be just getting things started. Maybe don’t hit the transfer portal just yet and try to work things out. It’s not turned over yet, you can still snap out of it and rekindle the flame you had before.
HypeFan9: Dear JD, I overhyped a 6-1 fullback and I think I want a divorce from my preseason posts. I told everyone he would be the next Tyler Warren but he can’t throw, run, or block and when he does catch the ball (rare) he’s stuck in the mud. I will forever be stuck with a $150 jersey from CanesWear but maybe someone else will wear no.9 one day and not make me look so foolish for committing so hard. What can I do now to overcome the embarrassment of posting about him every day on my social media?
Dear JD: HypeFan9, I don’t blame you for loving so hard. When the off-season comes around and the Kool-Aid gets passed it’s hard to say no. It’s right there, in your face, begging you to take a sip. Once you drink from the poisoned cup you just can’t put it down. No, the backup tight end and 3rd string running back aren’t living up to the hype. Some folks didn’t put their money where their mouth is and that lack of insight has turned fans against players, instead of against their D’-mons.
