Mario Cristobal continued his media tour this week with on3's J.D. PicKell. A transcript of that interview is below:

J.D. PicKell: Coach, is there anything you do away from football—especially with Miami weather— or is it really just calls, roster, and more football?

Mario Cristobal: I’ll tell you what—let’s book you guys coming down. I’ll get us a charter. We’ll be out on kingfish, sailfish, mahi, tuna—whatever you want. We’ll filet them right on the deck and have some...

back when I played here was, if a guy was raising his hand because he had a tough time conditioning, Jimmy Johnson would say, “Hey, the asthma field’s over there in the parking lot—get your *** out of here,”

I cried laughing picturing Jimmy saying that 😭 🤣 😂
 
Good stuff! I started out a believer in Mario and then I wasn’t until he decided to just not give a crap what people were saying and started letting the chips fall where they may. Great attitude and approach adjustments by him. Watching him become more vocal on the sidelines at referees and keeping his team up during games was a thing of beauty in the second half of the season. Definitely maximized last season’s talent.

Let’s talk about his hips. Let’s talk about his mobility, his redirect ability, his willingness to tackle, his physicality. The process is very thorough.”

Funny, people want to clown Miami about attendance and, admittedly, we're not the biggest fanbase in the country, but I don't think any group outmatches our passion.
When Miami made a play in the Cotton or Fiesta you could hear it and feel it.
I've always said, especially in the 20 years prior, it's hard to be a Miami fan, scrutinized at every turn, mocked, judged, and held to a much different standard. As the saying goes, you gotta stand on business as a Cane!
