Exactly. There are deficiencies. QB play, and thus QB recruiting, was a concern. His last year he rolled out ******* Anthony Brown. QB concerns playing out now on the recruiting trail. Mario can't sell a dream to QB recruits. His reputation proceeds him.

Wish I was wrong but dammit mane everything that was said in this thread is playing out.

Well when you consistently lose to inferior teams because of poor preparation and game day coaching you nullify that talent advantage. See: Miami Hurricanes their entire ACC tenure.

But he's not the best option that's available.

Their defense is historic and carries that program. Kirby recruits like a madman but he's an ace coordinator too.

Xs and Os matter. Cristobal offers no schematic advantage. You can't out-talent your way into a national championship. Not even an ACC championship judging Clemson this year.

He'll build the roster up to the point where it's even more heartbreaking we're sitting at 2 losses with no shot at the playoffs.

In the last 3 years Cristobal has lost to Stanford, Utah, Cal, Oregon State and Arizona State. How is that any different than losing to VT or Pitt?

I didn't want Mario before tonight.

More than Miami has.

If you're ok with that that's fine. But most Miami fans have higher standards. That's Wisconsin/Iowa/VT level expectations. At Miami the expectations are higher.

This is what worries me about Mario. He's supposed to be a great recruiter that builds inside-out and has tough teams, but Oregon was completely outmatched tonight. They got beat up on both lines and that talent advantage he compiled didn't show up because at a certain point x's and o's...

Get a proper AD and you won't need Alonzo to be here in some made up position to supervise because we'll have a competent HC where that isn't necessary.

Full disclosure, Ole Miss is currently sitting at 128 in the nation (3rd to last) in penalty yards per game.

My top two are Lane Kiffin or Hugh Freeze because I know with them their offenses will put up points. Freeze is also a demon on the recruiting trail. I don't like the idea of Cristobal relying on two coordinator hires to succeed. Having to continually hit on coordinators if one or the other...

Mario has first choice of Samoan monsters on the west coast with USC down.

What did he say? I missed it.

That's not a problem if the guy's system is good. Nobody is complaining about Lincoln Riley's system or Ryan Day's system. Our problem was we had guys with systems that were all smoke n mirrors like Golden and Diaz.

Randy Shannon, Al Golden and Mark Richt have all had top 10 classes, Diaz was ranked 11 last year. A competent coach here should have no problems stringing together top 10-ish classes. But talent only gets you so far. Eventually you'll need to out x's and o's the other team.

He can out-talent the Coastal, maybe the Atlantic too with how Clemson looks right now, but what about in the playoffs versus Oklahoma, UGA, Bama or Ohio State? What if we're on equal footing, or at a talent disadvantage . What can Mario do for us then? He's gonna rah rah us to an upset? Because...
