before we go to war, let's take a moment to give this guy his flowers ...

I was impatient as **** with him and although he was super stubborn the first couple of seasons, coach has evolved the last two.

He's gotten us to the highest level again.
 
He has definitely earned respect for putting us here.

Specifically, I would like to officially kill the whole take-a-knee thing. I was constantly told it was catastrophic because it would make a laughingstock out of us. And yet, this was the only place I ever saw it mentioned with clowns trying to score cheap points and get laughs at Mario’s expense.

It’s time to let it go for good. He’s earned some redemption. I suggest an automatic 90 day ban for the next clown that brings it up.
 
Living in GA nearly all of my life, I saw what UGA could’ve been. When their prodigal son returned home and won I knew then what we needed.

I wanted Mario back when Richt quit. **** I would’ve taken after Golden got canned. I’ve given him his rightfully earned **** through MTSU, GT, the porous defense that cost us the best offense we will probably ever have, etc.

But credit is due where it’s due. That mother ****** has pulled every lever, hit every button, done nearly everything short of lopping his own arm off to win here. I’m convinced if God himself walked into that locker room five minutes before kickoff and said if you die right now we’d win, someone else would be HC. Time to finish the job and bring this **** back where it belongs.

Not to rehash that memory but yeah it wasn’t just the take a knee thing

It was a compilation of our worst hits all at the same time

A questionable decision. A bad referee call. An inexplicable defensive breakdown.

The comedy of errors and misfortune that happened in that window of time was like every problem we had as a program all at the same time

Was never a big fan of the hire. Didn’t hate it, didn’t love it. I thought at minimum he would build us a good foundation but did not think we would be able to crack the SEC/BIG stranglehold on college football

I was wrong

Tough and physical is no longer a punchline

It’s why we are gonna **** Indiana up

I think many of us had some trepidation when Mario was hired. Something not talked about enough is the university making the $$$ commitment to compete with the big dogs. Between Herbie’s statement and Mario saying he’s not coming without that commitment, we’d still be in CFB purgatory.

To me all I cared about was the overall commitment we were seeing

College football has changed dramatically in the last 3 years and we’ve seen some programs get left in the dust

We were already on life support
 
Respect and congrats, but I absolutely loathe that phrase the title. It bugs the ever living **** out of me.

Herbie deserves some serious credit

i think folks underplay mario's credibility ... he had the juice to get the money right, but also has the juice locally ... you don't hear the stories of high schools getting out of pocket like you did during the manny and golden era ... mario can walk in any high school in south florida walk the walk and talk the talk in english and spanish

What is amazing but lost, is Miami is once again at the forefront of change in CFB with NIL/Portal acquisitions, etc. I remember the tag on him from Duck fans and a lot of CIS residents saying “Welcome to 9-10 win seasons, with an occasional bowl appearance. He chokes on the big stage.” I too, am guilty of ragging on him after the GT fiasco. Well, even if the team does not win tonight, the greater trajectory is one to marvel at. He’s shown he’s willing to learn to be great. We’re in not just good hands, we’re in excellent hands.

Undoubtedly, Mario has exceeded many’s expectations. Even Echaverria said they were a year ahead of schedule. Mario, and many others, have stated that he’s building the program to be sustainable. Obviously, time will tell but he’s off to a helluva start.

Foundation in place (not very different from Schnelly’s), keys can be handed over to another coach (hopefully years from now), and success can continue.

The coach planned his work and worked his plan. Despite all the negativity and criticism which i too participated in, he remained steadfast and focused on that plan. Win or lose its his vision of the talent that he brought together to get the job done. Mario got us to this point. He is tenacious with an unequaled work ethic.
 
Huge props, not sure we could have found a coach that wanted and wants to win it as bad as coach MC. Rip the coaching search apart all you want, but there was NO denying we found someone who wanted it more than maybe even we did. Kudos to the man. Go Canes!

Mario didn't want to be hugged with 18 seconds left, I am not giving him flowers just for coaching here. He is a big part of the success. Live from the Hard Rock, I appreciate the run. I appreciate this team deciding they weren't dead after SMU. I appreciate Mario adapting. There is no better story in sports than for a Miami guy bringing Miami back. If we don't beat ourselves, that happens tonight and Mario raises another trophy and Miami will be BACK.
