OK, fine. If you are taking some shrapnel as a proxy for the past two months of idiotic "Corey Raymond, bro" porsts, then I'm sorry for the collateral damage.
But you have to acknowledge, your posts were not very clear as to the points you are now trying to establish. And initially, all I was...
Really?
It's just bizarre. You keep talking about this fictitious "bidding process" and you reference "any of the other offers" that were "available at the time". But as has been discussed over and over again (without you accepting it), Corey Raymond had one job offer (UiF) and one...
So now you are revising your prior statements?
Wasn't this what you said a few minutes ago: "Mario planned to stick with T-Rob"? Yes. Yes it was.
You're spinning so fast that you've made yourself dizzy.
Relatively accurate.
Everyone knows I'm no fan of the Gaytors or Gaypier. But the fact remains, Gaypier pursued Corey Raymond and made him a priority in a way that Miami could not until Mario arrived in Miami on the Mas brothers' private jet.
Gaypier used "Louisiana, bro" and "SEC-SEC-SEC"...
While I can agree with your ultimate conclusion, I also wonder what the agenda is for the "We blew it with Corey Raymond" bros. They just keep harping on this guy's name 2 months after he jumped on the Gaypier job offer.
You keep going with this myth. There was no "Mario planned to stick with T-Rob", as Mario had not even had the time to meet with his UM assistant coaches, let alone evaluate whether he wanted to retain any of them.
First, Mario doesn't have a great history with T-Rob. It's not like his...
This is also not true. Mario Cristobal was hired December 6th. Raymond was hired by the Gaytors on December 8th. Raymond did not, repeat NOT, conduct a "highest bidder" process, and there were plenty of suiters. It is beyond obvious, he took a job with an SEC team staffed by numerous guys...
This is also not true, and the timeline proves it. Mario never said "no". Raymond accepted the Gaytor job and was finalizing his contract when Mario was first able to return his call.
Likely to be...
Filled - OC/WR, RB, OL, and possibly TE (4)
To be filled - QB (1)
Filled - DC, DL, DB (3)
To be filled - LB, ST (2)
Three that definitely need to be filled, one that could be swapped out (currently filled, could be replaced).
