Not Okay, just don’t think it will derail him. I think that will be enough to keep building with the institutional backing he has. I also think it’s a strategic blunder to miss out on the playoffs this year so even if he can live to fight another day it won’t help if we’re stuck in the Big 12 or...

If it's 9, it's not the end of the world in terms of Mario's credibility as a HC IMO. 8 in year 3 with the amount of institutional backing he's gotten is unacceptable. So we're off by 1 game. At the same time, I think Miami programmatically cannot afford to miss out on this playoff expansions...

No time to waste. Need it to be now. Keep upgrading out of the portal if possible.

I need to go to sleep, and we're clearly not going to change each other's opinions on Mario. My general take is that he's imperfect, sometimes glaringly so. But he's also really frickin good at certain things, sometimes also glaringly so. And those good things outweigh the bad. Come next...

This is deductive reasoning:: A. We only have three non-portal guys who at the Combine, and they are performing terribly. B. The only non-portal guys who are eligible for a combine invite are Manny's recruits C. Therefore, Manny's at fault (not Mario) when it comes to the talent of the...

I'm not going to defend the guy for failing to have a serviceable backup for TVD, or for losing Jackson and replacing him with Deen/Gore who were barely rotational quality, or for failing to get a real WR1 or another top DB. I assume it was because he was busy replacing all the weak links on his...

Lee, Cohen, Kiko, Porter, Ward. I expect Mesidor and maybe Powell to join that group in 2025. ... outside that group but valuable contributors: Allen, Parrish, the two Vandy DBs, Carpenter. We'll see about Bell and a few others, too.

When it comes to the Combine, Mario's recruited kids are not even eligible for until next year. So the only thing you can go on are Manny's kids and portal kids. Tell me I'm wrong? How is it an excuse to base Mario's talent on projections, when that's all we have? As far as winning, not NFL...

Yes, didn't you know, Mario sucks because Manny's kids aren't getting invited to the combine, and those have got invited this year are grading out at the bottom. He also deserves no credit for transfers. Never mind the fact Cohen and Lee have done really well at the combine. All the fault lies...

If you were to tell me his mulligan class from 2022 is disappointing, I wouldn't argue. Cooper is the only one so far who is shocking on the upside. But it was his mulligan class, and they've only had two seasons. The 2023 and 2024 are just projections at this point, and they're projected to...

Call or called? If the former, what's your timeline for it to become the latter?

I mean, every year is it's own challenge. But if you can't see that Mario's is stacking talent, I don't know what you're looking at. TBD is pretty much D after 2024 and 2023, no?

DVD made a lot of money that day.

I think a lot of us saw his flaws but also saw his contributions and potential and both hoped and expected he’d perform better than he did. I personally didn’t believe the Day 1 Day 2 hype but expected him to do much better than he did. If you believed he would be one of the lowest rated DTs...

I remember reading that too, I googled it but couldn't find any stats other than he had a 5'10" high jump. I did see this quote from his HS football coach: “Tremendous work ethic,” Colquitt County coach Sean Calhoun said. “Unreal ball skills. Unreal speed. If he continues to develop, he can be a...

The great wall of Mirabal 👍

I'm talking about his attitude and determination. Agree we need a #1 still.

Some kids peak in high school. But all three? That's got to be the culture Mario talks about. I really wanted LT to come back. But honestly, I'm starting to feel like we're better off with the changing of the guard. X is the exception.

All three are takes all the time. The difference between a Mario and a Manny team is that there are 82 other kids on roster as good as them, so they have to work their asses off to get on the field. We've seen it so many times, kids that are gifted starting spots because they're naturally better...

Normally kids improve from HS though, especially these days with the pre-combine training they get. What were Kam, JW and LT doing in December and January since they skipped the bowl?
