Wanted to start off by saying I’m keeping recruiting out of this rant, and will have a separate thread later (longer, more emotional rant).
Let’s get some really sobering numbers out of the way. Through 18 games, Mario is:
Certainly not 80 million dollars worth of results right there, but I’ll save that for the good part in the recruiting thread.
What I saw tonight was the same product I’ve seen for twenty years. In the first half, I felt like we should have been up 10…and then we got our *** absolutely blasted in the second half. UNC had 14 penalties for 147 yards, and we still lost by two scores. The refs will never call a better game for us.
If Mario Cristobal finds a way to win seven or fewer games this year, his seat would be warm at any school that game a **** about athletics. Especially now that Year 2 counterparts Venebles and Napier are experiencing varying levels of momentum in Year 2 (yeah guess what, Napier is 5-2 and has two more conference wins in 2023 than Mario has). Lose to UF to begin 2024, and I’d venture to say his seat would be hot.
But - it won’t happen. We’re stuck with Saint Cristobal for 5 years minimum. I’m not sure where to go after this performance, as I can easily see the team folding and losing five or six to close out another underachieving year. The hype was just that - again. And most of us fell for it.

- 9-9 overall
- 3-7 in the vaunted ACC
- 0-5 at home against ACC opponents
- 1-4 against ranked opponents
- Oversaw of the single-most embarrassing play in not only Miami’s history, but arguably all of college football
