The truth-teller consistently speaks the truth, and I agree with his view that Emory William should be the starting quarterback. He has earned the opportunity.
@ He hasn’t done anything to warrant our dismissal, but honestly it’s not so much what he has done it’s the idea that you don’t want to get into annual portal shopping over your quarterback it sends a bad message for high school recruits. To have sustained success I think you have to show development at the most important position in the sport. If we’re honest we are also on a Cam high!
@ I hate to say this, but he has earned our dismissal now. Emory is a warrior. Emory is all heart. Emory is a true cane. Unfortunately Emory isn’t suited for this offense.
Bruce is the best, I agree with his point that Emory practiced with JoJo, Ray Ray, Chance & Ny all year. They should all be on the same page. Use all the Portal on defensive depth. The only offensive players is like you said, a backup QB, backup center and maybe a TE. Lets give our highly touted recruiting classes a chance. In today's NCAA, Ken Dorsey would not have been given a chance because he had no experience.
I'm really excited for the bowl game. Can't wait to see Cam play one more as a Cane. I'm also curious to see what happens with Guidry after the bowl game.
Since Mario keeps things close to his chest we have No idea how Emory has developed especially practicing with Cam. Emory is a competitor and I’m excited to watch him play.
We are good with Emory. Get an experienced back up just in case. Go after a DC and more defensive players. I am looking forward to watch Cam one more time in a Canes uniform ❤ 🙌🏻
Horton leaves to go to Alabama to be a second or third option when he could have been the main guy here really doesn’t make sense unless he knows something that the fans don’t know
All of you who wished my wife a successful surgery yesterday-thank you very much. Much appreciated and she’s home and doing well. Sure she is in a lot of pain as jaw surgery normally is but she will be back singing in sold out venues across the country very soon. She says thank you to you good people out there. Bruce and Debbie
@@robertpulido8521 listen high school kids are more concern about NIL and going to NFL than if the quarterback for them transferred into Miami or not also Miami can’t recruit high rated quarterbacks at all so nothing has changed
We may have not had a bunch of injuries last year But losing Damari Brown for basically the entire season was DEVESTATING. Losing Jadais Richards for the home stretch hurt REALLY BAD as well.
The portal is cool and all but recruiting in Florida is still very important. It’s the best state for skill positions and not bad for QBs. Hopefully Emory Williams can impress and start. It would be cool to highlight instate talent. That why Restrepo has been a fan favorite, along with his production.
I think Miami would have made a better showing in the CFP than SMU and Clemson did. Plus, the excitement of having Heisman candidate Cam Ward would have been fun to watch.
I’m very Pro Emory, but I think are gonna need another QB from the portal. Judd will likely transfer once Emory is the starter after spring. I also worry that an injury to Emory could leave us with a true freshman starter in Nickel or Judd if he doesn’t transfer. I think we need an experienced backup with starting experience just in case Emory misses games next year. Either way, I think Emory should earn the job in a true QB battle. That’s one he’s poised to win though. I think QB is now a spring concern though. We need to see how this battle plays out.
Mendoza has committed to Indiana. So with that; I see Emery Williams as the potential starter. I do not know of any other good QB pick in the portal. Mario could choose someone to add depth to the QB room. But I don’t see anything else.
Starting Luke Nickel against the Irish and Gators would be like New Orleans having to start rookie Spencer Rattler against Green Bay yesterday. Disaster. The Saints were shut out.
It's not about having earned it. It's about who's the best player or option to start as QB. If it's Emory then so be it. I don't like Mario but he's absolutely right to look into the portal for any possible transfer that could come in and compete and potentially start. This is a competition. The best player should start.
Bruce, we don't need Martinez returning. If he does return, he may have a smaller role because Jordan Lyle is emerging as RB1 and, at minimum, will get significantly more carries in 2025.
Emory is more than ready; let's not forget he's an E;ite 11 dynamo that outperformed another recruit we wanted Rashada out there. plus he's surrounded by talented skill and a bunch of backs we all know that a young quarterbacks best friend is a good running game and we have that a stable of backs that could start ANYWHERE with a solid line let's give Emory the keys.
The only thing that matters is winning and if that means getting a QB in the portal then you do it. If you dont care about winning then watch the SEC teams keep winning and root for them.
I know stuff like buy-in and commitment to a program seems corny and old fashioned these days but I do think it matters even more when most of the top guys seem so easily influenced to bolt for top dollar...GO EMORY GO CANES !
Mendoza is likely getting 1 million plus. A that's way to high imo and you can't pay that type of $ to a QB that isn't an obvious starter. Mendoza is not that
This offseason is exposing just how many casual fans the Canes have. Some ppl are blatantly hoping for the program's failure if their personal vision of the "right moves" isn't implemented. With Such weak attitudes no wonder it is easy for low-IQ rivals to troll certain members of our fanbase…
True, if you look at how many people or "fans" that started commenting on this page about half way thru the season that the majority are couch coaches, trolls or people just looking for a reason to spew their criticism. I will say that it's a good thing because they know the U is doing good things and I love seeing them butt hurt and making themselves look like goofballs for the sake of argument.😂😂
I was fearful trying to learn how to swim at a very young age...my Dad gave me the basics and then threw me in the pool...much to the horror of my mother. To this day I am an excellent swimmer. Let's see Emory, I'd be surprised if he disappoints.
That would be quite the development...something to watch, although I have not seen anything on it. What I have heard is the possibility of him being offered a head coach job with another college team.
Even tho I’m a cane 4L born n raised in dade county I can’t stand the Alabama hate. Bama my second favorite team for personal reasons. (Fell in love wit that boy Mark Ingram in 08-09 & been on the bandwagon ever since & plus my cousin got excepted and went there). The hate is crazy tho. We ran college football at one point so we always be quick to fall bk on that right? Well bama ran college football at one point too & way more recently than us in the sec which is king period. Especially in the trenches. They deserve to be in there over smu & Indiana too for sure. If they played in the sec they wouldn’t stand a chance. You cannot say that about us tho. Cause first of all we have an sec o line & our QB an offense are the best in the country so you can’t tell me we wouldn’t of put up 35-40 & a better fight then they did in the playoffs. I don’t care if our defense is trash our OFFENSE IS THAT ELITE!!!🫢🫳🏽🖕🏽
Emory Williams is the closest thing to hefty bag after his performance last night. Unless he miraculously gets good, I don’t see us winning any games if he can’t make plays especially with a good crazy run game.
@ that’s not his full career stats . What’s branch stats ? You based your stuff off stars you basically basing off a bias media and football camps . Camps is how they get the stars . Has nothing to do with college speed
@@charlesdennysfg7479 I'm basing this off the film - go watch both highlights, there is a clear difference. Branch can take to the house at any time and is an excellent kickoff option. Branch - underutilized talent vs Concepcion - talent trending down (if he can do what he did freshman year imagine what jojo would have done)
When will we move on from the QB spot? It seems to be the only thing you guys keep hyping up. It doesn't matter who our QB is without a Solid Defense!! I realize they have gotten some players, but the real question is who will our Defensive Coordinator will be. Same or new coach?
Don't kid yourself we still need a quarterback. A good offense can overcome a bad defense but a good defense can't overcome a bad offense in this day and age. The perfect example of that this past season was Miami and Oklahoma. Definitely fix the defense but we MUST keep improving the offense in order to win 10 games again next season
Merry Christmas to all fans of college football
Thank you Donno for all the great shows
Merry Christmas to my fellow Cane fans. Emory is a True Cane. The U 🙌.
Merry Christmas Carlos !!!.

Thanks. I appreciate you. Bruce
@@BruceWarner-fg5ff Bruce.. I appreciate you too!! You are the man!
I vehemently disagree with your opinion of Emory, but I love you nonetheless.
Give Bruce and his wife love and blessings for the holidays
I believe in giving Emory his shot! Guy has EARNED IT!!!!
i do too, but there needs to be an experienced backup on the roster. poffenbatger would have been perfect.
How has he earned it? His 150 yards vs Clemson or 8-23 performance vs FSU?
Earned it how?
Emory looks like the real deal to me, just give him a chance
@ 33% completions ain’t gonna cut it
The 2 most important players to step up 2025 are Zaquan Patterson & Justin Scott
I'm excited about Miami playing in the POPPY TARTS bowl game. I'm always excited to see Miami play 🙌
Happy Holidays Donno to you and your Family, we appreciate your updates and thank you for always providing us with an informative entertaining Show !
Merry Christmas to all! Its a no brainer Emory is the guy.
@@iranpitre5039 what did Emory do to convince you he’s the guy? 33% completion percent isn’t exactly a no brainer

I'm really excited for the bowl game. Can't wait to see Cam play one more as a Cane. I'm also curious to see what happens with Guidry after the bowl game.
Yesss! Put him in the drivers seat. The boy can run and shoot!!
I think that we would have hung an "L" on the 2023 Florida State team if Emory hadn't gotten injured.... The kid is a baller!
Dude he threw like 8-23 that game.
Emory is not the answer….
100%
I agree! Especially if they would have given us our safety! We were robbed on that call

$$$$$ and he’s threatened by Jojo and Robinson and Carr. He could’ve easily lost that WR1 role if he doesn’t play well or an injury.

Thank god everything well well. Go Canes
@ Thank you Dave.
Emory Williams next up👍🙌 ! ! !
New D coordinator is a must
I think you guys forget what Guidry's D did last year. He was voted one of the Top 5 DC's
Merry Christmas Donno and Bruce 🌲
THA "U" BABY 💪💪🥃💯
This is good for us and for future QB recruits! Develop our own from within! I think Miami’s future is bright! It’s Great to be a Miami Hurricane!
the future will always be bright in sunny Miami besides the football program

The coaches who see them day to day know best...but if you ask me... it's Emory time!
I hope Emory gets the start. I think he could lead Miami to another great season.
Merry Christmas Canes Family. Blessings
Merry Christmas 🎄🎁
Good Morning 🙌🏽 Alex & Bruce
Great point with Emory and WRs Bruce
We may have not had a bunch of injuries last year But losing Damari Brown for basically the entire season was DEVESTATING. Losing Jadais Richards for the home stretch hurt REALLY BAD as well.
Bring in Air Noland and have him compete. No one is handed the number one QB spot, if someone is better get used to being a back up.
Merry Christmas, Donno!
Sending prayers for a full recovery 🙏🏾

Emory doesn't seem to have a long ball. They better get the best defense on the field if Emory starts.
CONGRATS MALACHAI
Prayers for your wife Bruce
Thank you. Surgery was a success.
Merry Christmas 🙌🏾🏈
I think Miami would have made a better showing in the CFP than SMU and Clemson did. Plus, the excitement of having Heisman candidate Cam Ward would have been fun to watch.
Hope Toney’s is Ready to Step Up✅
I’m very Pro Emory, but I think are gonna need another QB from the portal. Judd will likely transfer once Emory is the starter after spring. I also worry that an injury to Emory could leave us with a true freshman starter in Nickel or Judd if he doesn’t transfer.

That’s one he’s poised to win though. I think QB is now a spring concern though. We need to see how this battle plays out.
Moten is stout!!
he came on strong the 2nd half of the season. especially after that bogus ejection.
He makes dumb a55 decisions that have cost us field position and 1st downs personal fouls etc
Emory is good to go. We have the run game and line to back him up. Just need to tighten the defense back up
Our defense has to make a major change if they dont, it will not matter how good our offense plays
We don't need Wrs, I like our guys. We need OL & Dbs & DC
He better start looking for a defense🤷♂️
Emory won’t hesitate to hit the check down.
Let’s Go Emory 🤙🏼
Emory should be the U's QB. Build a great offense line. Get smart guys on Defense. DEFENCE..DEFENSE..DEFENSE.GOT IT.
Praying for your wife Bruce 🙏 Please keep us updated.
Get Air Nolan He's athletic. He fast was at Ohio State but I like our quarterbacks on our roster just needs to develop them
That rumor was rather interesting to me. His game might be a good fit in the QB room as an insurance policy.
Emory Williams should be given the chance to start: he’s been patient, is talented and has proven he has the intelligence to win. Give him the reigns!
Would you take Quinn Ewers if he decides to play another year?
I would be intrigued, yes
Mendoza has committed to Indiana. So with that; I see Emery Williams as the potential starter. I do not know of any other good QB pick in the portal. Mario could choose someone to add depth to the QB room. But I don’t see anything else.
Starting Luke Nickel against the Irish and Gators would be like New Orleans having to start rookie Spencer Rattler against Green Bay yesterday. Disaster. The Saints were shut out.

He's no Cam Ward, but he is an awesome PP QB !! He will embrace this opportunity and get the U into the playoff.

Yes Malik Bryant and Blount.
Missing out on Rivers really sucks!! That dudes gonna go off!!

Y’all ain’t give brown the same energy. I prefer Mendoza with actual games experience.

Hope all goes well with your wife’s surgery Bruce.
I’m riding with the lil more accurate Ken Dorsey emmory going to b good

Are you going to the game Donno?
Pretty sure he has stated he will be taking a break in the middle of his vacation to attend the game. 🙌
So how is emory going to get experience if he doesn't play he's been in dawson system 2 yrs time for him to play

Hearing all these Miami fans complaining about not being in the playoffs is music to my ears.
New D Coordinator?
The truth is without being at a team’s practice any comments about players we haven’t seen is pure speculation.
I don't think there are any QBs left in the portal that are definite upgrades over Emory Williams.
Couldn’t buy a QB developed by other schools, so we will see how well Mario develops his own players
Emory Williams is the closest thing to hefty bag after his performance last night. Unless he miraculously gets good, I don’t see us winning any games if he can’t make plays especially with a good crazy run game.
Fire Guidry and keep Jason Taylor and fire the rest of the defense staff
