Its Lane kiffin or Mark stoops for me. And we should take a swing at Brian Kelly.

That Brian Kelly take was wild! The last 2 would have been disasters. Lane would have won but he would have been incapable of building the recruiting machine and the culture that Mario has. Kiffin also would have been looking for his next big payday and finally there is the issue of Kiffin being a first class toolbag. Mario was the best and only choice. It took some work and it took getting through some rough patches but Mario was and is the only man for the job.

To be fair a lot of the criticism toward Mario was deserved leading up to the SMU loss. To his defense he made a lot of good offseason moves (Firing Gattis and Lance) and getting the right guys in here. I'd say about 80% of the board here were getting restless with the underwhelming results.

No doubt. Anything people said after the SMU game I don’t blame them

Crazy that we were so close to yet another offseason of what ifs and how do we fix this type stuff

That game @ Pitt changed the entire narrative with the program. Fitting it was a road game in November in the ACC all the things Mario kept failing

100% thought they'd lose to Pitt. It would be two seasons in a row wasting the best offense Miami had in quite some time in 2024 and then the best defense since probably 2018.

Obviously doesn't matter now and glad I'm eating crow on all the negative **** I've said since 2023 about Mario.

To be fair to the 'fans,' Mario earned a lot of what was said.
2022: That first coaching staff & losing to MTSU, losing record
2023: The GT kneel down, losing 4 of the last 5 games
2024: Wasting Ward by having no defense, losing to GT again, losing 3 of last 4.
2025: Losing to L'ville and SMU with ugly picks to end both games

Somewhere in there he burned through 3 DC's, 2 OC's, an S&C coordinator, and every single position coach- exception being Mirabal?

He also had a fan blaming moment to go with his coaching blunders. Glad he SEEMS to have figured most of his issues out. Still needs a stronger focus on the kicking game. 11-1 is the floor for '26 ACC Champs and another CFBPO run.
