Mario wanted the job when Richt left that is a fact. He was fully prepared to leave Oregon
Some of the dummies refuse to believe that as they get their kicks out of sh#tting on the program and saying no one would leave Oregon for Miami. I believe the sticking point was Cristobal's buyout. Flake James lowballed Oregon so the school had no reason to let Mario leave (even though he wanted to).
I also think Miami could do better than Cristobal BUT he would have been a far better choice than Diaz (and I was saying that at the time). If you look at what Ed Orgeron and Dabo Sweeney have in common, it's that both are top recruiters. Cristobal is also a great recruiter- one of the best. Diaz is a poor recruiter. That, more than Xs and Os, is why I don't think Diaz lasts 4 years.
