3 Choice MaRiO Needs to Make to Save his Tenure as HC

I would make Art Briles an offer and bring his Baylor offensive concepts here. I think it would work extremely well. And then Mario can run his and mirage offense in the 4th when we are up by 28-35 on teams

Three choices that’s must be made. No if, ands, or buts about it.

(1) Hire a new OC who has COMPLETE control of the offense. No Mario or Mirabal influence within 100 feet of our offense moving forward.

(2) Hire Special Teams Coach who also is tasked with reducing stupid penalties.

(3) Play to win. Throwing the conservative game planning out the window. Play to WIN. Don’t play to lose. That last drive where we could’ve sealed a win, we went into a shell.

Also a bonus point: talk to Saban, Orgerom, whoever to understand why you’re such a terrible gameday coach.

Honestly, they could probably just get by with #3.

Not sure what hiring a special teams coach would do or how that would make our offensive line commit fewer penalties.

And at this point it’s going to be very hard to convince an offensive coordinator to be Mario’s third coordinator in 6 seasons. We’ve burnt a lot of good will with quarterback transfers and offensive assistants that Cam bought us last year. It looked like Mario was willing to turn the page after watching last year’s offense but he went right back to his conservative, scared ways once Cam left.
 
It's not too late for the end of the season to modify your thinking.

Dawson has the personnel - he and Beck just need to put a plan together of plays they BOTH believe will be successful and have the personnel to execute.

And the most important thing that needs to happen is they NEED TO GAME PLAN FOR EACH OPPONENT. THERE'S NO SUCH THING AS A "STOCK PLAY SHEET". Sure, you want to have a bunch of plays that are your bread and butter, I get that. But every opponent going forward will present a different challenge. PLAN FOR EACH ONE INDIVIDUALLY. You have to change it up
 
The fact that we may have to cycle through coordinators AGAIN is a huge failure. He's had 4 years to get the coordinators right.

If you think Mario is in danger you are delusional and don't understand how things are working at the U.

I'd propose promoting Mario to Assistant AD/Football GM. Let him be a figurehead/fund raiser. His job=keep the NIL money flowing. Then bring in a coach with a functioning brain.

Ditto. He needs to become Bobby Bowden 2.0. Rep the program, close on big recruits, let the OC/DC cook and enjoy the ride.
 
Save his tenure? I wouldn't be surprised he eeks out a few wins here and they extend him at the end of this season.

Mario has 6 years left on his contract. 6! We are in the same boat as all these other programs that have been joked on for being broke. We don't have the money to fire him for years. Do you think the unamed, booster, boosters are paying what it takes to keep floating failure or do this all over again? Are we giving Mario his 3rd OC to micro manage? Dawson isn't the problem, he does have flaws as all coaches do. Mario isn't going anywhere and we are what we are.
