Finally Admit Lanning > Mario

[Brooks B]

Yeah my names on the list.

I was right.

Mario sucked *** the first few years. Made things extremely difficult for no reason.

We were correct in noticing it.

Your blind homerism isn't impressive.

Mario also lucked out getting Cam Ward at the last second. Otherwise it was a battle between Poffenbarger and Emory Williams.

Since that spark of luck, he's been drastically better.

He's significantly raised the quality of play, and simultaneously raised the expectations that I will be holding him, his staff, and his players to.

Mario didn't suck, the players he inherited did. C'mon now.

Both are true.

His first few coordinators were horrible hiring decisions.

The play calling he directed/allowed was awful.

His game management was terrible.

He's improved in all 3. Still has things to improve on. I'm hoping that this year he can sweep the ACC and secure an autobid into the ACCCG.

Mario's only problem at Miami is 3 seasons removed. Tyler Van Dyke.

Cristobal is only 55 he’ll be here for a long time

i meant in 10-15 years lol. By then Heatherman may be a seasoned vet at HC

Keep digging that grave.

OP was November 2024. We were well past the lumps of 2022 and the frustrations of 2023.

The Syracuse loss sucked, but the feeling that "Lanning > Mario" in late 2024 was just wrong. An emotion-driven overreaction to the moment that ignored the program's progress from 2022->2024.

In all fairness, Mario has rehabbed himself in the last 3 seasons. He has learned to stay out of the play calling, and even hired a guy to keep track of the clock management duties last season.

It seems that since the playoffs last season, he also is getting better at knowing the pulse of the players and the game flow. All huge improvements.

I always said that he was a **** of a C.E.O., and an incredible recruiter…and that if he ever fixed his flaws, he could win multiple championships at Miami. If you don’t believe me, check the numerous threads over the years where I said as much. @RVACane and others can vouch for me.

Context is key.

I guess the MarioBros wanna keep doing what they did notwithstanding the number of people quoted there who’ve owned up to a number of things relating to Mario, however, some of these MarioBro guys act like it was all good from day 1. It wasn’t. Mario turned over two staffs to some degree because of bad hires. He got it right after that. But ok, keep on

Your opinion means nothing.

This is a free-to-use message board, not real life.

He made some bad hires the first couple years. The last go-round though he killed it. We have a championship level staff the past couple years.

Facts! But it seems like some of them have amnesia or they were in a self-induced coma during that period of time.

Many on here say Mario left Lanning a great situation, but the #s say otherwise as far as # of transfers Lanning has made in his tenure to improve his roster. This was year 3 of Mario and Lanning is running circles around him again. Oregon got the better of the deal with Mario coming here

Lanning made some awful DC/OC coordinators and it shows. they have looked bad all year considering the talent
Stien the OC to UK, Tosh Loupo DC to HC at Cal

Lannings evals are probably dog **** as well

**** you got all of it in 4k, I had to check this three times to make sure my goofy *** wasn’t on this list. Even though I have made numerous goofy lists I’m glad I am not on this one

That isn’t luck and everyone with a brain knew the roster was dog ****. Lanning walked into a way better situation, we were basically almost Rutgers status

Has to be able to hold his own recruiting. Mario was the rave on sabans staff, no one on this staff is the future HC after Mario. Maybe an x player or future x player who knows. Someone with good values and relentless on the trail hopefully. Difficult to find a HC

 

[sdaly12]

Lannings evals are probably dog **** as well

there is talent there but maybe he's an HC who need great OC/DC's

 

[sdaly12]

Nah, he just suxx!

He's look bad all year, misses Stien . Stien beat LSU today & he outcoached Kiffin

 

[Brooks B]

Keep digging that grave.

See what I mean about the haters? They can't give the man his props without bringing up the past. It's never " I was wrong about Mario" , instead it's always " Mario had to learn from his mistakes / I'm glad he adjusted" crap lol! He didn't inherit a 10 win program like the one he left Lanning, nor was he given a 35 million dollar NIL budget in his first season like Kiffin. No Bo Nix his first 2 seasons either, just TVD. Now look at the progress we made with good qb play alone!

 

[edge]

Coordinators aren’t dumb. They look at the roster too and know what they can do with it. There is a reason Mario had to settle for G5 Guidry, a washed up DC out of football, and the non play caller from Michigan. You really think those guys were even in his top 5?

There’s a lot of people who thought the first two years were subpar who gave Mario credit when it was ultimately warranted and those people and put it on here, some more than once, myself included, yet all of us continue to deal with the dead horse beating super slurpers who were wrong until Mario improved.

There were multiple staff changes because of poor hires.

The time and game management was atrocious. Middle Tennessee, GT…

The offensive approach was wretched.

Mario got it together finally making the right hires the third time, but even last year like when we played SMU, we were reverting to our horrid prevent offense approach. The people you are referring to called it out. They were right.

Some of the people you are referring to were right about Mario the first two years. They were right going after him in the middle of last season when we were reverting to idiocy on the field.

That super slurpers go after people for taking issue with his ****** hires and game management the first two years - or when we went to **** in the middle of last season - is retarded.
