If UM comes after Mario then he is gonna leverage that into a big fat extension! Mario isn't leaving Oregon..
Mario lost decommits from DB's Avante Williamns, Myles Schluster and WR Johnny Wilson all 4 stars, and still was right with UM in class rankings. Mario has 4 star CB Donte Manning signed and gonna announce at All American bowl this week, Bama 4 star DT commit Jayson Jones is latest crystal ball to Mario for late signing period. Mario just got two best ILB in the nation, Flowe and Sewell, and # 3 Pro QB Butterfield who is 6'6" kid, #10 Dual QB Robby Ashford..
Shough his redshirt Soph QB is 6'5" #3 Pro style for his class and could be a 1st round pick in two years, watch his film.. Mario has Hugh Millen of UW fames son a 2019 QB signing.. Mario has Penie Sewell Outland winner back at Tackle, back to back 1000 yard runner coming back, has 5 star Frosh All American DE Thib who has 9 sacks starting part time this year back, Frosh Mase Funa who had 5 sacks at LB who was highest LB recruit in program history until this year. He has a 2018 top 100 player at Tackle to plug in and best 2018 JUCO lineman, the Ducks will be bigger on the line next year. He could have two 3 years starting DB's coming back and lots of 4 stars to plug in on D and O..
UW lost Chris Peterson and Jimmie Lake is rookie head coach. USC has DB Clay Helton and 79th rated 2020 class. Stanford has 15 transfers and is a mess. The Pac12 is face down and *** up for Mario to rape!
Mario is on the cusp of nailing down two more Pac12 titles and maybe making a Playoff in his first 4 years at Oregon.. Not only will Oregon extend him and he will git his money now, he will be able to be in the conversation for any job he wants.. Saban retires and he will get looked at by Bama, NFL could come calling.. Or Mario can come home to the U on his own time and make them back the Brinks truck up to get him..
Mario would be a fool to walk away from what he has at Oregon, he has the chance to make his name go to the top of the college coaching ranks in the next two years!!
Mario's vision is also the Big Oline, pound the rock like Bama did with Mark Ingram and Derick Henry, he aint got that Oline at the U right now.. So The U is a total rebuild for Marios vision.. Mario want to be Bama SEC tough in the Trenches, he wants to posses the ball and beat teams up.. I'm not sure fans at The U are gonna jive with that..
Mario also needs to fix his in game fck ups, learn to save a timeout to ice a kicker.. He needs to get that Saban opened up his offense.. If Mario wants to make the playoff he has to open his offense up and get a little better in game as a coach.. If Mario makes the playoffs with his pound the rock and at times very predicable offense he will have the worst offense of the 4 teams..
I love lots about Mario.. He has a compete every day culture much like Pete Carrol did.. EE are coming in and if your good enough then you are pressing kids ahead of you for playing time in the Spring.. Mario is iron sharpens iron guy, he don't play favs, you keep what you kill in his program..
