I think Mario was hoping to get more out of last season and stop some of the negative recruiting with at least an acc chip with cam.

Making the playoffs would’ve definitely made talking sht about us not as believable.
Unfortunately, other coaches can just say “see more of the same. Don’t waste your talent down there”.

This program and our coach is in a corner and he’s gin a have to coach his way out of it.

If we don’t make the playoffs or get at least one or 2 dudes in the first round, some players on this team are gonna bounce.

That’s why none of this ever makes sense to me. UF can sell and we can’t? That excuse never makes sense to me. When something doesn’t make sense it’s bags. It’s always the unseen that makes more sense to me. When Cooper can say I’m going to Texas while never visiting and pushing his date back, it’s something not seen that happened and it’s always $$$. And I don’t blame them ever, never blame someone for doing something 99% of the planet would do. It’s the organization’s fault for not paying up. I wouldn’t care about seniors *****ing some true freshman is making more. Cause I guarantee you OSU had TF making more than seniors and the next national champion will have the same type of issue in their locker room, while hoisting up the trophy by seasons end. So who cares they won the natty. Go ahead and transfer while we win with the best talent.

UF isn't selling recruits, it's the media bs im talking about. DJ Steve Urikel Lagway is not what they make him out to be.

Let’s examine the history:

National Championships:
Miami - 5 (last being 2001-02)
UW - 2 (last being 1991-92)
ASU - 0

Overall Record:
Miami (673-391-19 or .630 win%)
UW (781-467-50 or .621 win%)
ASU (643-325-24 or .600 win%)

10+ wins since 1975 (50 yrs):
Miami: 16
UW: 11
ASU: 8

20 yr record prior to Cristobal, DeBoer, & Dillingham, respectively:
Miami: 159-93 (.631)
ASU: 133-111 (.545)
UW: 122-122 (.500)

Teams inherited the yr prior for each respective coach:
Miami: 7-5
UW: 4-8
ASU: 3-9

Record after year 1 for each coach:
Mario: 5-7
DeBoer: 11-2
Dillingham: 3-9

Record after year 2 for each coach:
Mario: 7-6
DeBoer: 14-1 (CFP Birth)
Dillingham: 11-3 (CFP Birth)

I dare u or anyone else try to refute or pirouette around irrefutable, empirical evidence. Stop making it seem like it takes 5+ yrs to turn anything around, & let’s stop propagating this “Woe is Mario” narrative.

Win 10+ games, & make the ACCCG this yr; no more got **** excuses or rationale of why 9 wins is considered a good season from anyone. Sick of this ****.

Maybe Dillingham and Deboar are just better coaches? Maybe Sark is a better coach.

What if Miami loses a tiebeaker at 10-2 and doesnt make Charlotte, and then comimittee keeps Miami out and ranks them #13 because they arent in the SEC and Big 10?

What fi Miami goes 9-3 makes ACC title game loses in OT fot Clemson?

Vegas has us at 9 O/U?

This is good info. I'm curious though. Can we compare the QB's for DoBoer and Dillingham to what Mario had.

Miami is viewed as a joke nationally. The rebuild doesn’t take 4 years. When teams like TCU, Indiana, Washington, SMU, Arizona State can elevate immediately with little to no history of football then the whole argument is null. I dont care about what happens the year after. If we went from the national title game to another 10 years of mediocrity then so be it. Some of you act as if once we finally climb out of the depths of **** then it's all uphill from there.

Cfb in 2025 is year-year unless you are a perennial contender. We aren't close to that level of talent so what we all should be hoping for is a surge from time to time. What mediocre teams are in the hunt every year? Outside of the usual suspects all the other teams rotate in and out of contention. This isn't the Miami we grew up watching this is the Miami that hasn't been a factor in college football for 20+ years.

TCU, Indiana, SMU, Washington, Arizona State can all be viewed as one off success story's. Miami needs to win this season, no doubt, but don't use those Cinderella stories to try and amplify our failure to "elevate".

I was defending the other programs so you basically just engaged a whole bunch of paragraphs.

Good points, but I’m sure Miami also has to operate within a budget. Don’t have unlimited money. Can’t always outbid another program, especially if they have more money than God.

I dont know what point you are making, but I would take a Cinderella story at this point.

Not saying you are wrong but the one thing the stats will never bring up is......I think why people fail at UM is obviously we want to be elite for one. And UM wants to recruiit thee best (which makes sense) so we recruit or try to recruit elite players, which is the best strategy to be a power and there are mad examples of this OSU Bama etc......but when we do that and miss while battling the elites and our secondary evals are bad. We get left with scraps that damage our roster which leads to losing, regardless what the rankings say. Where as those other schools know they not getting the best and have to be careful with their evals and do a much better job of it cause they know their place in cfb. We dont accept our place and try to go back to the glory we had, and the schools we go up against in recruiting are always the best and we lose those battles. That is one thing stats will never show. Not saying you are wrong just saying that stats dont show that context of the why's and why nots, and what is truly happening. This is how I see it, its my opinion to be a fact for me. It could be different for you and that's fine.


But you are right we have to win but IMO that has a lot to do on why we fail so bad.
If the University accepts who we are the fans wont accept it and the whole thing falls apart. Just adding to your stat sheet here, it never gives the whole context to the situation.

Do u like hypotheticals? B/c I don’t; I don’t live in a world of ifs, that’s how u stay stuck in copium.

-The Committee didn’t keep us out of Charlotte, Miami did.
-Vegas had us winning the ACC Coastal & making the ACCCG in 2006, 2013, 2014, 2017, 2018, & 2022. How did that work out? So idgaf about odds

-None of what u just posted addressed a fundamental fairytale that was once again debunked. We’re talking about:

1. Mario inherited the worst situation a coach can come into which leads to

2. It’s going to take 5+ yrs to undue to 20 yrs of mediocrity.

Well, per Dillingham (who’s never been a HC before), & DeBoer (who was only at D-II & G5 schools prior) said Fck 20 yrs, & Fck inheriting sub .500 teams, we’ll be CFP bound in 2!

Amazing the amount of times Miami has been favored to either win games or win their division but doesn’t,

Then you add games like mtsu, fiu and others. But you win games we were underdogs in like notre dame….

Im not a betting man but im starting to wonder if I should start.
