Another Perspective on Miami and Mario

[305407cane]

As did Marcus Lemonis

From what’s been said lemonis doesn’t care about football that much but does like Mario. So if Mario (and maybe Alonzo) get on board maybe he takes a more vested interest. He actually just put up some coin for a new building at Columbus

Rough math (and correctly if someone finds something more accurate)
Diaz buyout 6mil
Mario buyout 12mil
Mario salary per year 4.5mil

Right now it would cost 22.5 mil upfront with no staff

After 2022 season
Diaz 3mil
Mario 8mil
Mario salary 4.5mil

After next season cost is 15.5 upfront

Barring a complete **** show to finish the season, I think BOT makes next year make or break for Diaz. Mario buyout drops, Diaz buyout drops. Much more realistic to get Mario here but still pricey

Mario’s buyout is 9M, and drops to 6.5M in January.

Also, you can easily make the financial case that paying the upfront cost for Mario would pay for itself through ticket sales, philanthropy, marketing, etc. A top 10 UM would be printing money for the school.

Another note, the financial position of the school is currently excellent. The numbers will probably be public in a month or so, but the most recent fiscal year was off the charts. Now is the time to make a move if there ever was one. Money should not be an issue.

Yes. Yesterday. That was planned

Like planned prior to this past weekend?

Need Jose Mourinho as the coach that benches horrible players. He's not afraid to call a player out in person and then to the press lol.

He'd fix the defense over night.

You know what could be a big boost to raising funds for the athletic dept.?

WINNING

The day may be coming where it won't just be conferences that negotiate TV rights but teams within the conference that get the top ratings get the most money.

In this day and age of social media and the whole "look at me" mentality I find it hard to believe they (Oregon) would be working quietly behind the scenes on a new deal for Mario without anyone leaking it or straight up spilling the beans.
I agree his silence on it is deafening though..........

Why is it deafening? No one but MiamI fans are talking about a coaching change, there is no opening, and he hasn’t been asked about it so why would he voluntarily say something?

 

[Boarcane]

Franklin is going from Penn State to USC fwiw

 

[Miami[]_[]Smoke]

Anyone who thinks Mario doesn't want the UM job are mistaken...

I’m sure he did , and would, if we weren’t a joke program and his other option wasnt to stay at Oregon where he is already having success and has a blank check for almost anything

 

[TheOriginalCane]

It'll be Alonzo & Mario....

I trust you infinitely more than than anyone who claims that Marcus Lemonis is an alpha voice on athletics, and that a Lemonis tweet is the equivalent of a UM public statement.

 

[Brandinho]

Oregon has a ton of elite players but our rosters aren't very different. No reason we couldn't pick up some pieces and win 10 games next year with the right staff.

Calling it a rebuild isn't true other than culture changes.

 

[CaneLife93]

Franklin is going from Penn State to USC fwiw

Golden to Penn State and Manny Diaz as his DC

 

[TheOriginalCane]

Theres a push for that from some bot members and boosters. Those are the two.

There’s also a group that likes Blake because of his fundraising. If they want Mario they’ll have to can Blake. At least that’s a start.

Funny thing is, he hasn't been THAT great at this, at least when you compare him to other schools.

Let's not forget, we had a basketball arena groundbreaking IN THE 1990S. If Ryder hadn't pulled out of the name sponsorship, we would have had a basketball arena a decade earlier, and then the IPF would have been next. I was one of the few people who said that Beta Blake shouldn't be getting a reacharound for FINISHING the IPF.

And let's not forget that the person whose name is on the IPF is the one willing to pay Mario's buyout.

 

[TheOriginalCane]

With Ray Lewis their in consulting fashion...

I love ya, man.

If the BOT is letting a football alum speak, then you know the agenda isn't all about "Lake Osceola beautification" and "budget for 2022 adjunct professors"...

Why is it deafening? No one but MiamI fans are talking about a coaching change, there is no opening, and he hasn’t been asked about it so why would he voluntarily say something?

It also hurts his leverage with both because if the Miami job opens up he is at worst can play that opening to either get the most out of Miami or get a raise from Oregon. However, if it says he has no interest in leaving Oregon he loses leverage with them and any other school.

 

[TheOriginalCane]

You said no way it will be Mario just last week.

You’re an “insider” ofer for as long as I can remember. When will you learn your lesson on passing on misinformation or speculation

Post his quote.

 

[TheOriginalCane]

As did Marcus Lemonis

Yes, and we all know that he is an alpha voice on Athletics and that his tweets are the equivalent of UM public statements.

There’s a war going on outside manny is not safe from

He can run, but he can’t hide forever..

 

[mirasuegui]

It looks like the popular sentiment around the country is that Cristobal would leave Oregon for Miami (which is very surprising to me tbh).

Now it’s time for UM to do their part because, Mario or not, Manny ain’t it and Blake James is the worst P5 AD ever.

If we will be cheap again, we will have cheap results. It’s that simple.

I just think Mario buyout is a killer ?

Disagree with a couple things. 1. This isn’t a full blown rebuild. Miami won 10 games last year. Lot of talent on the roster that is just underachieving for multiple reasons. 2. Not so sure USC has so much more money than Miami. They just dug themselves out of a huge scandal and the reason they couldn’t get rid of Helton last year was because his buyout and they couldn’t pay it.
