2022 was the cumulation of a lot of bad trend lines. Off the top
of my head, first and foremost was poor offensive line play against an increasingly fortified FSU defense (via the portal). Richt and Manny had failed at OL recruiting and it manifested itself throughout 2022.

You're not wrong. But we had bad OL play for years before that. I recall Brad getting his tooth knocked out.

I think the overall who will be back is the important question…

Last night people were like next year FSU loses everyone and we have everyone back…. That’s a BIG assumption…

The fact that our fans think fsu, a team that has won nothing yet, is the standard proves how far we have fallen. Let me be clear Louisville is going to maul FSU.

That may be a better standard than what has morphed from better than Manny or improving on 2022….

Mario’s wizardry isn’t coaching, it’s convincing his fanboys that this burn down was necessary…

I'm disappointed like most but our only hope this year of having a better year than most predicted (most predicted 7-5,8-4) was if TVD would emerge and he did the opposite

Louisville will be tough and who knows if we'll drop a few more with the qb situation and now emory being hurt --- will we play jacurri just to see what he has?

still a chance to be 9-4 with the kneel issue at GT costing us a 10 win season in year 2

if we hold onto our recruiting class and get a top flight qb in the portal I think we're a 10 win team next year and I think that's the definition of progress

He brought at least three players from Oregon over time, had no problem ridding the team of all the “cancers” per some of the MariBros here…

It’s more likely he didn’t bring him because of the injury, and Benson runs against Mario like he’s making a point…

And he brought a bunch of nothing. McCorchmick and Saggypolulu.

Waste of space
 
thought last night was Marios best game as a canes HC and I was proud of these guys. Emory was admirable in his performance, but and it is early on and the injury wont help his development as rehabs for what will likely be the offseason or most of it, but idk if hes the starter down the line you guys kept saying he was. he was still A LOT better than tvd as the first option.

I dont have any other complaints on our end yesterday aside from second half offensive mentality. find a way to keep guidry beyond this season. hes a great dc so far..

its also time to get a QB who has a threat of running. you dontneed Lamar Jackson back there but someone more mobile than what we have aside from brown

Mario's 2 most important recruiting tasks this offseason are:
1) keep impactful veterans to stay 1 more year than leave for the draft.
2) find a high end QB in the portal. Someone with special talent. Whether that's through the air or on the ground of both.


Whoever the OC is next year, needs to have Chris Johnson Jr as RB1 or RB1b. Cause Fletcher is good and has a role. His vision needs work and he has to stop trying to cut back on DBs in space. Johnson has the cut and the speed to break the long runs and ******* finish them.

Drop X on the depth chart. He looks like he's running in molasses and his hands failed him yesterday. And he still doesn't know when to field a punt. Tell him to hit the portal with TVD. Start Brashard or RayRay(if healthy) or Williams in the slot.

Because you're trying to shift the blame from Mario to his happenstance of not having a QB.

If only there was some kind of job out there where you search and find quarterbacks. Maybe somehow mentor them, motivate them, or give them tips to get better. I don't know.

No, don’t make assumptions. I asked you a simple question of what coach or team has won without a QB…for some reason, despite all the typing you’re doing, you can’t answer the question. Run along now I’ve heard enough

So w[BGCOLOR=initial]as it a rhetorical question? Because it's sounding like a rhetorical question. [/BGCOLOR]

Kiko has been the best LB we’re had probably since Denzel Perryman. Really impressed with him and he’s been the leader of the defense. Does he have another year of eligibility?

If Damari and Richard continue to play like they did yesterday they should be starters next year with Porter

Wes Bissanthe was all over the field as well

A lot of bright spots on this team, but the season has been soured by two glaring gaps/issues -

1. The QB and management of the QB room

2. Our HCs involvement in the offense (he needs to stay away) and his decision making (GT kneel, not sticking with Emory after Clemson, his terrible use of TOs and micromanaging games to try and squeeze out close wins, etc.)

It’s really unfortunate because this should be a 1 to 2 loss team. Instead we could end up with 5 or 6 have no momentum on the trail and continue talking about not having enough talent at key spots

We definitely need portal help, we waisted one of the best OL we've had in years, Mario was way too late in making a QB change once TVD started to crumble and the week before the FSU game he should have named EW the starter Monday, not Thursday and gotten him all the reps with the starters. I agree we need a portal stud at QB along with a dog WR like Rambo who helped make TVD look better than he really was. We're not that far off, we've been in every game and should be 7-3, that GT loss is ridiculous. If we would have had at least decent QB play in the second half of the season we could be 9-1, unfortunately we might finish with two more losses with TVD starting again. His int last night proves he's lost, X was wide open and he threw across the grain and lost the game for us. We need an Addison/Rambo type portal receiver.

Mario's coaching brain runs on internet explorer. That's why he's always late with personnel and roster moves.
