A Tiger Does Not…

[AUcane]

my point was only his willingness to make changes. He is surprising nimble in the offseason for someone so principled and rigid.

Mario has already told you he's not changing. You constantly hear "we have to execute better" from him. Expect more of the same.

Changing during offseason is meaningless if you refuse to adapt and overcome adversity WHEN IT MATTERS.

Every coach changes stuff during the offseason. Mario shouldn’t be patted on the back because he puts a new coat of paint and new tires on the car every offseason yet refuses to fix the engine

Stripes was a great movie

 

[Silver King]

Where giving Tigers a bad name

 

[FrancisSawyer]

How so?

Look at my avatar. My screen name here is a character I'm that movie.

Saban and Coughlin changed, I doubt Mario does but he has to eventually if he wants to survive here

 

[TheATLCane]

but he has to eventually if he wants to survive here

i would say if he wants to coach anywhere notable

LSU doing a bang up job themselves... not to worry

People act like this statement is defense of Mario. It isn’t. It’s just a statement of fact that a guy with such rigid belief in his way is willing to completely change his staff in the offseason.

I think a lot of people have forgotten seeing a stubborn Al Golden go off season after off season sticking with **** that didn’t work.

Mario needs to empower or support his coordinators to adjust.

I saw that movie I think in high school or college whenever it came out. I don’t remember a thing from it.

I dunno I used to think a tiger couldn't change his stripes, but then I read about the Louisiana governor borrowing a faux-Mike the Tiger from a friend in Florida, putting him on the sideline, and telling everybody it was Mike the Tiger. So, in this case the stripes on the tiger got changed.

No. The entire tiger got changed… which is what we need

I said this very sane thing during Mario’s first season and was negged for doing so by the slurp crew.

I have always maintained that’s he’s a great recruiter, but a terrible game day coach that needed to stay out of the way on game day and let his coordinators cook. In big time football, game day coaching and schemes matter. Cigneti has taken Indiana from being the worst program in CFB history to a steamroller in 3 seasons, and they have less talent than a lot of teams.

@RVACane can vouch for me. I’ve always been fair in my criticisms of Mario. At this point there is more than enough data to verify that he needs to evolve and grow as a HC if he’s ever going to win anything of significance.

Yea I have finally jumped to this camp, he needs to stay away from the offense and if he is then fire Dawson or push him out. But every OC he gets its the same thing so he will be fired eventually, unless a miracle happens and he changes

I think he's talking about in-season adjustments. Like taking the cuffs off of the OC and letting him sling it all over the field.

Cristobal isn’t handcuffing Dawson. Dawson is just a mediocre OC saddled with a mediocre QB.

A tiger does not...

...take a knee?

 

[WndyCityCane]

Couple more ugly Mario specials just may bring us an early Christmas present!

Is it too early to dream?

Sean Young, Stripes or Blade Runner time period.

Could have bottled her bath water and sold it for $$$$.

I know sarcasm doesn't translate well on the web, but I couldn't help myself. I actually agree with both of your points, A really great OC won't work for Wario, or at least not for long. Not with the boundaries he sets around the offense. As far as Bunk is concerned, I think he's a head case. He has all afternoon to throw and after he gets through one-thousand-one in his gourd, he gets really nervous.
I'm watching him get happy feet when he could literally mix a pitcher of Martinis back there, and I'm like: WTF is going on with him?
