Mario is guaranteed $64mil for 8 more yrs, we all know this. But why does the team, the admin, and the fan base have to suffer from his stubbornness and archaic philosophy. Demote to asst HC/lead recruiter, ask Zo to step in as the face of a HC, and allow the coordinators to prove their worth to the program and CEO their sides of the ball. No need to bring in someone new and another contract.
As asst HC; Mario will oversee day to day operations and report all to Zo. Do not try to dictate any offensive or defensive schemes or game plans. And lead recruiter speaks for itself.
Mario is too hands on in game planning.
1-he has shown an inept ability by micromanaging the offensive game plan since conference play started. Through the first 4 games, Dawson's ability to force his will on opposing defenses by taking advantage of their weaknesses prove highly successful in stats, points, Ws and player usage. Multiple rbs look great, multiple wrs were having great games and play calling and adjustments were flawless. Mario took that bye week b4 the GT game and squashed all that sh1+. He used those 2 weeks to implement a whole new identity on offense; and as a result, we have seen a decline in all offensive numbers, even rushing.
2-Player usage or playing your best players is also a problem here. I'm pinning this on Mario only bcuz he's the head guy. Guys were brought in thru the portal or others who have improved their game since last season are not only being under utilized but fail to see the field at all. So far, we have faced 2 teams that have comparable talent on paper but we don't at least have packages for our talented skill players and we're just letting them waste while the offense stutters weekly. And of course mismanaging the playing of a qb that is unplayable by injuries are broken mentally. You have to save players from themselves instead of watching them go out there and look less than desirable and even to the point of hurting the team.
3- game management. Mario has proven, not only in Miami but in previous jobs to mismanage timeouts, whether or not to go for it on 4th down, 2min offense, or the famous kneel down. These are major decisions that have to made in seconds, but you have ppl assigned, to keep you on track with the numbers a play or 2 beforehand. In other words, you should know if I get a certain amount of yds on 3rd down, analytics tells you to do this or that on 4th down. Same with timeouts and hurry up offense. Imo, Mario gets a C-.
4- Having the team ready to come out fast and hungry early. All 5 conference games, we have came out flat. Defensively we've made quick in-game adjustments and held strong. Who's giving the pregame talks in the locker room, do these players believe in this HC or each other.
He may be the highest paid assistant HC/lead recruiter but I feel we can play up to our abilities with a more sophisticated game plan and attitude at the head.
