At Oregon Mario was 7-0 following regular season bye weeks. So far at Miami he's 0-2 after bye weeks (UNC in 2022 and the GT debacle last year.)
Bye week is less about Xs and Os and motivation and keeping everyone focused.Interesting. I would have expected worse, simply because I don't think Mario is the best Xs and Os guy, so that's assuring.
was wondering about thisMiami coming off bye week since 2019:
2023 L vs GT
2022 L vs UNC
2021 L at UNC
2020 L at Clemson
2020 W vs NCST
2019 L at UNC
2019 L vs VT
So....1-6

To me it reads:
7-0 when you have appropriate talent and just need to heal and get right.
0-2 when you have to try and scheme your way out of talent gaps at major positions.
I'm just sick and tired of fans and opposing fans saying this. For the record, Mario is NOT and has NEVER been an OC. or DC. So, he's not the one being "out-schemed" with Xs and Os.Interesting.

Yeah we don’t seem to have the speed in the back of the defense to play as much man coverage as we do. We all like aggressive, but with our offense, all we need to do is force FG attempts.I'm just sick and tired of fans and opposing fans saying this.

All that man coverage Guidry plays is on Guidry NOT Mario. Mario leaves Guidry to his own devices. Cal schemed up plays that confused and caused mismatches in the defense. We had our LBs trying to cover speedy scatback RBs which is a personnel issue for Guidry to solve. For the past 3 games, we have the opposing slot WRs have career games against a safety where any slot WR is going to win 9/10 against a safety. Even when we lined up with a corner on the slot, Cal schemed to play to force the safety into 1 vs 1 coverage on the slot. We got a mismatch, a bust in coverage, or both. That is on Guidry playing too much man when the personnel is limited. I was screaming at the tv for Guidry to just play zone to not give up big plays. Force Cal to beat us matriculating the ball, which they could not beat us in that type of game. Cal had no run game against us either. These things had nothing to do with Mario.
