Kelley Ford Gives His Take on Miami Hurricanes Football · The Jake Wimberly Podcast

  Let me shift back to college football real quickly and get your thoughts on a
• 0:04
  couple of Well, I've talked to Chris Landry about this yesterday, way too
• 0:08
  early, but you look at the Miami Hurricanes and what they have been able
• 0:11
  to do in the transfer portal. You start really chalking through their recruiting and
• 0:15
  you know what they obviously bringing in cam Ward, and it looks like this
• 0:19
  could be a you know, banger bust year for Mario crystal Ball in talent
• 0:23
  wise, it looks like they've got as good a talent as anybody in the
• 0:26
  ACC coming back. Is this a banger bus year in your estimation for Mario
• 0:30
  Cristaball. Yeah. I hate to put that kind of label on it when
• 0:35
  we're this far out, as you said, but I think that's reasonable.
• 0:38
  And Jacobs, we've talked about before in the New Look ACC. I mean
• 0:44
  Florida State. You know a recent you know, the last half century or
• 0:47
  last half century has risen to power, has really really good teams in the
• 0:51
  eighties and nineties. Of course, you know, played in or win national
• 0:54
  championship at twenty thirteen with James Winston. Yet maybe snubbed this year. Florida
• 0:58
  State's the team that you look at in the ACC say they could be a
• 1:00
  flag bearer. Clemson with what they've accomplished Underdablos winning in the last ten fifteen
• 1:03
  years, they could be a flag bear outside of those two programs in the
• 1:07
  ACC. Now we're talking football, not basketball. I mean, where else
• 1:11
  are you going if you're not going Miami as kind of that team that really
• 1:15
  should be at the top of the conference standings every single year. Mario Christball
• 1:19
  is a Miami guy. Alum, right, he knows how to recruit.
• 1:23
  We saw that at Oregon, We're seeing that at Miami. The biggest thing
• 1:26
  for me is can Mario Christo Ball improve really his game management skills, his
• 1:30
  time management, the way that he calls a game, the way that he
• 1:34
  affects the game from the sideline. If he can piece that together, you
• 1:38
  said it, they're putting pieces together in the transfer portal. They've got a
• 1:41
  really strong roster. There really is not excuse for Miami. And I'll say
• 1:45
  this regardless of who the coach is, there's not an excuse now for Miami
• 1:49
  to not be in the top two or three on a year in and year
• 1:52
  out basis in the ACC and that should have been the expectation there since they
• 1:56
  joined the conference in two thousand and five. I believe it was. Of
• 1:59
  course, they have not been a perennial power in that conference. There's really
• 2:02
  no excuse, and as the landscape continues to shift in college football with conference
• 2:06
  realignment, Miami needs to make sure that they're playing at a peak level here
• 2:10
