Cristobal hired as TE coach; Carroll now WR Coach

View as article
Plus, now he has the opportunity to learn from a qualified head coach for the first time since he was at Rutgers.

Has Golden ever articulated how he views the difference between an Associate HC and Assistant HC's respective jobs?

Just a way to give a guy who was a HC a few weeks ago some status and respect on the staff and also justify paying him more than a typical TE corch would make.

That. It's just a title, no real power behind it. Whipple had the same title under Shannon, and Kehoe under Coker I believe.

I think it is safe to say he will be our highest paid position coach but will have additional responsibilities.

I agree with this as well.
 
We should clean up down here now. Absolutely clean up. And with Mario and Barrow, we can recruit the Alquadin Muhammad types year after year.
 
This is an incredible move by Alshermond for one simple reason: The positive energy that Mario will bring to this staff will be immeasurable. You can't put a price tag on that sort of stuff in a working environment. This dude loves UM, and this is where he's dying to be. I can assure you that he had chances to go other places and probably for more money. But he wants to be part of this staff with Al and his old buddy D'Onofrio.

This **** is going to push us into the absolute stratosphere when it comes to recruiting. This dude is Trooper Taylor without all the baggage and with a GIGANTIC love for UM on top of it. Trust that. Don't underestimate the power of that love for where he's at and how that will translate to living rooms. His energy and positivity will help us get through the scholarship limitations too. Positive all the way around.

I TOTALLY agree. This guy loves UM. I'll never forget that article on Scout where he talked about coming back to UM to help get the "Evil Empire" back on track. The man just understands who and what the University of Miami is. I'm excited as ****.

I can't wait for him to get out on the recruiting trail. Golden and Cristobal closing on you for our Jan 18th recruiting weekend - unfair.

The only question with that is that, while I can't confirm, I've heard that he and Kehoe had some kind of previous conflict.

There was an innordinate amount of conflict among the coaching staff under Coker. Staff infighting under Moper than I can tell you would've never happened under Butch's watch. In the end, Coker was a horrific manager and I place most of the staff unrest on him.

Golden is a different cat. I think Golden, like Butch and other successful HCs in Miaim's history, runs a tight ship. I don't believe we're going to have the same problems we witnessed under L.C.

We're going to finish stronger than Peter North.

I'm ready to guarantee we get ALL of our remaining top targets.
 
Great move by AG...this is an absolutely fantastic hire.

In the short term it's going to be a real coup for recruiting...in the long term we may have our eventual successor lined up who now has HC experience and will continue to learn and grow alongside AG.

This is freaking awesome news.

this sums it up.

I LOVE this hire. Losing McDonald hurt but the staff may be stronger than it was with McDonald.
