For many reasons, not the least of which is the $60M buyout, firing Mario is not possible and would be idiotic even if it were. So, assuming Radakovich isn't blind and dumb, his only option is to "coach up" his head coach, who has exceptional qualities but is clearly struggling. The path is not easy. The first tough step is getting Mario to recognize that his offensive philosophy is outdated, that it must change, and that he himself can not change it. The second tough step is helping Mario bring in a new, high-IQ, innovative OC. UM should spare no expense with this hire, and give him whatever resources are needed to succeed (a QB position coach, for example). Here's the hard part...DR must insist that Mario provide the new OC with complete autonomy and accountability. That includes play calling, player evaluations, and authority over all offensive position coaches include Mirabal.
In addition, DR and MC must develop a QB acquisition strategy that involves more than one-year rentals. I do not believe the current approach is sustainable, especially with a more complex offense that requires time for players to assimilate and refine. UM needs QBs that develop over more than one year.
Finally, DR should go on a full court press with the ACC on the outrageous officiating. The examples are too many to count, and it has been persistent over several recent years. Totally, unacceptable. UM has power with the ACC and should assert it.
