Finally Admit Lanning > Mario

[MikeyCanez]

You raise an excellent point with the QBs - Coaches are really good when they have really good QB play.

And good coordinators. To your point, Mario made some bad choices early before striking gold. When Dawson leaves, hopefully Mario has learned.

Lanning’s biggest mistake in my opinion was promoting Mehringer. He has an NFL quarterback and elite WR talent, get a guy who has called plays before.

Because Manny won 7 games and people thought Mario would at least do that including an MTSU win not loss. He had what 247 said was the 12th most talented roster in that year so people thought he’d at least get wins commensurate with the talent he had per 247.

This is exactly what majority of us all thought, and i still think if mario doesn’t hire gattis year1 we don’t go 5-7 but those hires failing put him on the right course

Steele had to go too but i think the problem with him was more about talent and culture, hiring vets like steele & strong to help rebuild the culture wasn’t a really bad choice like gattis was. They just weren’t long term solutions like what we have now

Difference between mario and lanning is, mario bumped his head with hires early but corrected the course. Lanning made great hires early but bumped his head in year 5, the worst possible time to do that because they have a top7 roster and probably won’t make the playoffs
