18 games into Mario’s Regime

Advertisement
I said this when Golden was fired and I still feel this way. College football has passed the small, private school by. We just cannot seem to adapt, whether it is coaching, players or conference, the combination has destroyed us. Those of us that actually went to Miami and remember “that MIAMI” are being lost to time. The perception of Miami is mired in some history but mostly opinionated conjecture. I will always love the Canes but to think are return to anything approaching dominance is fleeting. Either it is systemic or environmental, we just cannot seem to build up and progress. I am not confident we ever will.
we refuse to hire anyone w no ties outside of golden. there are other guys out there when we hired Mario but only Mario would get the financial support. thats the single biggest problem. these new boosters only care if their guy is in there and not hire the best candidate.
 
This was a great summation of Cristomoron! Thank you for your honesty! This coach and his staff are horrible! All the homers will say give him until year 3, 4… but year two should see some type of progress whether discipline or on field improvement and last night I saw none.
you dont need 3 4 years anymore. you get fired in year 3 now. there is no such thing as a long rebuild. everyone wants to say saban lost in year 1 - guess what? he went undefeated in year 2 w a loss coming in the SECCG. he won a title in year 3. you can win right away in college just like you can in the NFL. the portal made that possible.
 
kam and Jw always make blunders.

Our back seven is not that fast.

Of course they're going to make blunders. Corner is still an issue, same with linebacker, and same with the DL. At least it is with a decent to good opponent in the house. To give us a chance we take a lot of risk and sometimes it bites us in the ***.
 
Love dudes saying all we need is a QB as if they don’t see how we’re doing in QB recruiting. But don’t worry, we’ll address it in the portal, unless of course we lose a Coordinator and Mario spends all offseason putting them through the Secret Service hiring process while all the talent heads elsewhere.

The same ones who've downplayed how disastrous Mario's QB recruiting has always been by insinuating we'll land a whale of a portal QB will simply pivot to crowning our current backup as the next savior when we miss out on the Maalik Murphy-level transfer options.

They'll hype him up to absurdly unreasonable levels as if he's unquestionably elite and claim he's the reason top transfer QB's went elsewhere. It's going to get even more ridiculous around here once the games stop being played and the propaganda narratives come back out in full force.

The real victim here will be Emory Williams. That poor poor kid.
 
The A&M game was a fluke. Idk how many more times I have to say that. It’s the only P5 team with somewhat of a pulse Mario has beaten.
 
Kirby decided to ride with a midget walk-on despite having multiple blue chip QBs. He won ships because of that decision. I don’t want to hear that Mario gets a pass because TVD sucks. He chose to ride with TVD and did nothing to hedge that bet.

Fact is, Mario has set Miami up for failure with his “roster building.” Our QB room is a disaster. Our DB room is a disaster. Our DL room is a disaster. And there is no help on the horizon.

I look at the roster and I see one guy on defense — Bain — who looks like he belongs at an elite program. It really isn’t much better on offense.
 
Well, who did we get out of all the QBs? Our QB2 in Emory and Judd. No heralded QBs have wanted to be here. Like I said, I hope Dawson changes that and if they hold Nickel for 25, it’ll be a legit upgrade from where we’ve been shopping.
Rashada was in the bag until he was misled. But other than that Imo the higher rated qbs didn’t want to sit behind TVD for a couple years

I’ll give Mario more time. I see improvements this season, and he inherited a ****show.
he inherited a team that was 2 freak plays from being 9-3 and a 3 point game from being 10-2.

It was never that bad. The dude just cant coach and his impact as a compiler of talent is yet to be seen here. in the portal era thats a failure
 
It’s not a loss, it’s a play. I don’t think there’s an example in history of a team doing what he did against GT. It’s all part of a continuous cycle of poor decision-making and a lack of feel. He’s so wound up that it affects everyone around him.
Example: Oregon vs Stanford 2018. Instead of a victory formation and the kneel for the win, he chose to run the ball. Same result-Stanford won. Oregon vs Auburn he called a timeout before opening kickoff. He's still the same Mario, great recruiter and O-line coach. Decicion maker? Not so much.
