Miami head coach Mario Cristobal joined McElroy and Cubelic in the Morning to discuss the state of the program. A transcript of the discussion is attached:

McElroy & Cubelic Show: With some leadership leaving for the NFL but a strong core returning, how much of that leadership can you hand over versus continuing to develop?

Mario Cristobal: I think our program has been layered the right way and we’ve been recruiting in a manner where we’re postured to continue to get...

He mentioned the importance of hash mark differences between college and pro.

NFL hash marks are much narrower (18 feet, 6 inches apart) than college hash marks (40 feet apart), with NFL marks lining up with the goalposts. The wider college spacing creates a larger "boundary" (short) side and "field" (wide) side, promoting diverse play-calling, while narrower NFL marks keep the action centered for passing

Dawson playing calling was dog **** in several games . SMU , Louisville and first half vs Indiana . He takes to long to make adjustments . I agree with the rest of his answers . Should have asked what’s taken so long on the db hire ?

Mario already answered what is taking so long on the hire. Mario said he is a pain the a*s when it comes to hiring. I’m sure that means he is methodical and has more candidates in for more interviews. Mario is a grinder and grinders don’t work off of hunches or gut feelings; they slowly but surely work through their own process and no one can speed them up. That is his formula for success.

Let the fans wring their hands and lose sleep over a DB coach. I am confident our HC is not and he’s the only fan that actually matters.

Year 5 and people still being surprised at his process is their fault not his

He bought himself enough good will recently for me. Then again I just need to go back and read the thread about our QB situation melt downs before we got Mensah for some perspective on how our fans act

What I like what Mario is saying and, more importantly, doing is the physicality. I know there is a group of our fan-base who mocks this, but I think this is the proper approach for the type of kids we recruit. We have kids from the city who appreciate tough coaching and winning, not coaches who talk and act like frat boys and cool dads who love to give on-game awards for doing stuff that they are supposed to do.

💯for example, Dan L @ Oregon, as soft as they come…perfect place for him. I don’t know how Mario survived in Oregon knowing who he is.
