Exactly what recruit in their right sane mind would want to play under this coaching staff.

This is by far the worst team in my lifetime. The butch probation teams at least showed fight and didn’t have lackluster play calling on both sides of the ball.That 2007 team would beat this team easily. We haven’t scored a TD in like 9 quarters and 2 OT periods.
Yup just checked and he definitely said itUghhhhh!!!!
I agree.I would bet on it. Mario is not trying to be the smartest guy in the room. He sees how bad our QBs look. TVD is a good player and the other two have talent. It shouldn’t be this bad.
I’ve been too embarrassed to wear my 2001 Natty sweatshirts for some time.Hopefully we can look into each other's eyes with our last breaths, and say " wow, do you remember 2001?" It'll be glorious.
Reading comprehension is important.You think he told Ruiz to tweet that?
Also, what players did he throw under the bus? I listened to the whole press conference.
Strong and Ponce were both HC, that doesn’t seem to have helped much.It's obvious to anyone with a brain and any semblance of football IQ that Gattis will/should be fired.
But I'm going to take it one step further and say something very specific that I think NEEDS to happen with the new OC hire.
It needs to be a former head coach. It's obvious Mario could really use/leverage some gameday help on the sideline. For this regime to work, Mario has to be our Ed Orgeron. He simply has to be flanked by two top notch coordinators otherwise this entire thing is doomed before it starts. Mario has one function...to be the face of the program and to close recruits in the living room.
He should be looking at guys like Dan Mullen or Bobby Petrino. You hire either of them with ZERO recruiting responsibilities and have them be completely responsible for the offense. I don't think there's a chance in **** we can get Petrino but it would be worth a try. He's basically in football Siberia right now at Missouri State, getting up there in age, and might want one more crack at the limelight without the pressures and responsibilities of being a head coach.
Here's what I know for sure....the right coordinators can turn any program around in a hurry. There are examples of it littered all over college football.
+10000000 I have been saying that for a while now. It's obvious that Mario can't coach his way out of a wet paper bag. The OC needs to be a former HC. That's the only way this works.It's obvious to anyone with a brain and any semblance of football IQ that Gattis will/should be fired.

Same here.This season has pretty much broke me. I won't believe a single positive thing until it actually happens. No more Greentree reports, verbal commitments, "big changes coming". I've listened and believed for decades now and not one word of it has came to fruition. As the saying goes, fool me once........or in this case 100,000 times
Agreed 100%. Staff is getting paid too much to underachieve this grotesquely. With that said, there are players on this roster that simply don’t belong, whether it be from a talent or culture perspective. They need to be shown the door. Minimal effort and toughness should not be tolerated.Reading comprehension is important.
I never said that he told them to say that. But it’s obvious that if they’re tweeting that out, he hasn’t told them not to do that. He runs a tight ship, so it’s alarming that he’d be fine with them porsting this on Twitter.
Also, by him mentioning that there has to be “buy in” and that the players have to “practice harder and understand what is expected of them” he is underhandedly taking a swipe at the players and failing to look in the mirror.
He and his staph are being paid 12 million a year. You’d think that he could have better results than the 1964 team, which was the last Miami team to not score a TD in 2 straight games.
He's talking about coordinators and specifically the OC. Also Ponce has zero HC experience in college. HS doesn't count.Strong and Ponce were both HC, that doesn’t seem to have helped much.
Oregon never looked this bad. That’s what gets me. The level of regression from an already-mediocre team is shocking.
It’s not like the Kirby/Kyle situation or 2019 when the QB room was falling apart. TVD is a good player who was zapped of his big-play ability.
On this we can agree.Agreed 100%. Staff is getting paid too much to underachieve this grotesquely. With that said, there are players on this roster that simply don’t belong, whether it be from a talent or culture perspective. They need to be shown the door. Minimal effort and toughness should not be tolerated.
2 things can be true at once:
— Mario and his staff have not done enough to get the best out of these players. We’ve seen schematic and personnel decisions that are mind boggling. It all starts with them, and they deserve to face the music.
— We also have some deep, structural issues with this team’s culture. It’s going to take a couple years to wash it out….if Mario lasts that long.
Bad coaching + Bad Culture + Injuries = Disaster.
Fantastic post. You hit it on the head.You’ve made the comment before about Mario “liking shiny things” (in the negative sense). His coaches at previous stops have displayed upward career mobility, but in this situation you have to wonder whether the staff he cobbled together was an example of him falling prey to the allure of hiring names and making splashes rather than piecing together a staff that “fits” in the traditional sense.
And while Oregon never did look this bad, they certainly underachieved. In his 4th season with a roster full of HIS players and multiple good recruiting classes, they routinely played down to their competition and were in death matches with inferior teams. The Ohio State win notwithstanding, They won a bunch of close games and got absolutely embarrassed by Utah twice.
The most dismaying aspect about him beyond his his game day decision-making ability or his lack of schematic prowess is the clear issue he has in motivating his teams to play at a high level. It’s something that transcends the first two issues (which are correctable or manageable with quality coordinator hires and talent acquisition) because it’s a problem that will likely continue well into his tenure.
I fully expect that he’ll do the right thing and massacre this staff after the season is over. And I have no doubt he’s going to load the roster with talent between the recruits he signs and the portal with Ruiz backing him all the way. These things should result in improved on field outcomes.
But I also fully expect that we will still see the same uninspired, lethargic, underachieving style of play out of his future teams as well and that will put an unfortunate ceiling on what Miami can accomplish with him.
We are ****ed boys
