Culture Change at Miami

[sstcane]

I know this has been discussed for years, but I think that the situation was worse than we know. From what I heard there were years where a lot of the players were more interested in partying, ladies, smoking etc.

I really feel the difference in year 3 of Cristobal. Seems like the players they are bringing in are guys that love Football and love the grind. We need players who care about football, the team and winning more than anything else.

From what I've observed and heard from insiders, the players are all in on football. Coming in early and leaving late, organizing team work on their own, watching film etc.

The first 2 years have been disappointing, but I think that this is the year where he has "his guys" leading the team. I believe we will see the difference week 1 in the swamp.

You would have to think that in year three with as much roster turnover as UM has had that this is the culture Mario wants to achieve. He is known as a hard worker and values the old school work ethic and focus that led UM to greatness back in the day. This should be a fun season.

If I agree with him, you know the world's about to explode, right?

Excited to see who steps up from a leadership perspective. And it doesn’t have to be just one guy.

How many Manny guys are left? Including Mario's first class....

It is important that we get on a roll to gel... otherwise cracks would start to open up.
41 new players is a lot of change ...

All of this stuff is bull**** noise. Just win.

Mario has definitely changed the culture. It's obvious listening to the interviews of the players. No BS platitudes or marketing slogans, just Pro Social principles and a singular vision. Now he's gotta win.

That's as irrelevant as stopping the run for a DL in a Manny Diaz defense...

It's Mario's Year 3 in the 2024 college football landscape. With the current NIL budget, lax transfer rules, and no ICs for HS kids, any of the handful of "Manny guys" remaining are now Mario guys. If he didn't want them, they should be gone and recruited over by now.

Just win.

Some accountability sure would be nice

With regard to how bad it was, look through the list of guys who transferred out. How many went to bigger/better schools? How many have achieved much at their new schools? Elijah Roberts and Colbie Young come to mind. Maybe jaylan Knighton at SMU. But for every guy like that, there are several more DeShawn Troutmans.

That said, it's year 3. Win the fugkcin games we are supposed to. No more excuses.
