A Tiger Does Not…

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.

I was right there with you. I supported him but I was very clear that in order to get us where he wants to get us that he needed to hit home runs on both OC and DC. It's taken him until year 4 to get DC right and on the OC he will likely never get it right because no OC worth a **** will coach for him at this point. I thought that Mario had finally grown early this year but that SMU debacle was the worst coaching job I've ever seen. Now it's clear that Mario will never lead us anywhere special. His ceiling is 10 wins because he is quite literally the absolute worst gameday coach I've ever seen. He's a great recruiter but he will never allow this team to reach their potential offensively because he is a total meathead. He basically has this program held hostage. His only hope is to win out and finish 10-2 go to a decent bowl and hopefully win it to go 11-2. That's the only way that he can keep things from crumbling. Does anyone here have any confidence that he can beat NCST and/or Pitt? We are capable but I certainly wouldn't bet on it.

I don’t think Mario is interfering with the offense. He was perfectly fine with us throwing the ball all over the field with Cam Ward.

it’s more probable that Cam covered up a lot of Dawson flaws. Personally I think he needs to interfere and tell Dawson to play with pace and aggression.

Agreed but he isn't going to do that. Actually I think he sets boundaries for the offense. I think it was his call to go slow as molasses this year.

Yeah, but I could never look at her the same after Ace Ventura.

Yes you were, brother. You and I have chatted privately about this subject on a few occasions over Mario’s tenure here, and the fact that we’re still having to talk about it because he fails to want to evolve and improve as a HC is bonkers.

Hail, I'd settle for the Wishbone again.

I much rather have an enthusiastic young coach that's learning daily -

than a smooth talker who already knows it all, and stuck on stupid.

Spot on! Honestly though there are so many things we could do with Malachi Toney in the Wildcat or any type of package with Toney at QB. We could run it 10 times a game.
 
Today - I'd sure like to see us come out of the smoke to the song by Baha Men - WHO LET THE DOGS OUT?

That may indicate Mario has decided to change trajectory - to "Cry Havoc and Let Loose the Dogs of WAR!"


(nah - who's zooming who, here)
 
This program is like living in Barrow, Alaska.

In about 10 days from now - IN NOVEMBER - the sun will set and not rise again for over two months.

Dark. Everything goes dark in November. (Like UM Football.)

And it's cold. Will put a chill on a Polar Bear's asc.
