Listening to Mario discuss football is an ear sore. He sounds like a milk carton. All stories and no substance.

He needs to bring in a legit spread OC and a dual threat QB that can throw it next year and just step out of the way. I watched Bailey and Nc State go nuts last night. Running lanes wide open with RBs not getting touched. Receivers running open and Bailey running free if nothing was open. Funny how we didn’t recruit him because he was a 3* project but rather take 3* project “passing QBs” who apparently can’t throw or run.

He has that he just won’t let him do anything.

I would love to see a real breakdown as to what Cignetti is doing there and why it looks so effortless. Mendoza is obviously a solid QB but come on lol they are pummeling people.

They should have lost to Iowa

But they didn’t

And they proved it was just a blip on the radar because that’s how college football works

They invested a lot of money in a good coach and good portal talent and that’s what it’s supposed to look like

How do we fix the penalties? How many of our drives have been killed by them?

I think our offense has issues. But we’re trying to run a power based offense that wears down opposing teams but are constantly getting put behind the sticks due to penalties which kills all momentum.

Ask ChatGPT how one does that and it talks about “ building culture and accountability.” Read through the itemized list. In my mind, I can’t envision even half of that stuff being implemented in our practices. Again, that could be a false perception. But there’s a reason why a Cignetti coached team only commits 3.7 penalties per game.

Indiana is the greatest college football story in the NIL era. College is absolutely pay for play football. These guys are making more money than their parents combined and most will never see a pay day like they are getting now in their working years. NIL is a failure and college has become nothing more than a minor league for the NFL. Most players have already adapted to the pro attitude. When you’re making high 6 figure money and in some cases 7 figures do you really give a **** about what your coaches say or fans ?
 
Mario’s reputation as an offensive line guru, flanked by Mirabal, is overstated.

Other than Sewell from Oregon, how many offensive lineman were drafted or even undrafted free agents? Sewell was a high pick, but was also a five star recruit. Give Mario credit for that. All the other offensive lineman Mario put in the NFL during his time from his time in Oregon were day three picks or undrafted free agents. Quite a few of those players were signed a season or two before Mario left for Miami and finished their college career under Dan Lanning.

Alabama had good offensive lines with Mario Cristobal, but they also had good lines before and after. Mario only coach at Alabama for three years. How many players did he coach their entire collegiate career?

Nick Saban raves about Mario as a recruiter, but why did Mario leave Alabama? I believe he was replaced by Brent Keys and Alabama‘s machine just rolled on, no pun intended.

Why would Mario leave Alabama a year removed from a national championship season and in the middle of a multi-national championship run for a lateral position at the University of Oregon? You could say it worked out because Willie Taggart bailed after one year and Mario got the promotion to head coach, and here he is today as head coach for his dream job making $8 million a year. All of which seems more lucky than a plan.

I posted this earlier but is he even a good OL coach? I see that group as regressing this year and due to all the penalties, a major reason for both of our L’s.
 
As a College football junkie I watch multiple games every week. Nearly every game between two Top 5-40 teams goes down to the wire

I actually think there may be a three loss team in the playoff.
 
It is more balanced which make coaching and development the difference


..and we are lacking in both departments

I think Mario is/was a good OL coach and so is Mirabal. This year's OL has struggled with penalties but that can happen. No one questioned the OL last season.

I am curious when and why their reputations as being among the best were earned.

Disclaimer: I am just a fan do talking about something I know nothing about.

Been reading for years that Mario is a “CEO type”

CEO of what? Circuit City?

I get the point and I'm not here to defend him because what we have seen recently is not defensible but he is the CEO a coach in charge of a program problem is he's also putting himself in charge of the innovation department to use an example and thinks he still selling CDs. He's built the store it's strongg. He's got a really good HR department. He has a good security department I can't get out the way of innovating they will declare chapter 11-

He needs a couple of senior executives to call his bull**** and give a different point of you and if you can recognize that as a strength, not weakness, the turnaround can be complete. If not the board needs to recognize that their CEO has raised the floor and built a foundation that cant be allowed to crumble, but the ceiling is only 2 inches higher and they need to come on and build upon that foundation with somebody elseHe needs a couple of senior executives to call his bull**** and give a different point of you and if you can recognize that as a strength not a weakness the turnaround can be complete.
