Mario was a failed head coach at FIU before Saban allowed him to enter Bama's coaching rehab program and was given the AHC job at Bama because of his experience being greater than Napier's at the time.

You're making it sound like being the AHC, OL coach, and recruiting coordinator at Bama, all at once, and receiving more credit than being a single position coach was somehow surprising and a major accomplishment, rather than something that would be completely and totally expected when you hold 3 titles and have a higher status on the staff. You're also making it sound like it's somehow surprising that a program would tap someone with a higher status at a successful program to lead it than a single position coach. Both are laughable.

The SEC took the two best universities from the Big 12 because of money, so I don't really think that makes the point that you think it does. Good programs exist in crappy conferences (see: Clemson); the conferences are still crappy.

First, Mario was not a "failed head coach" at FIU. He took a terrible team that fired Don Strock and had to forfeit games, AND HE WON A CONFERENCE CHAMPIONSHIP. He then started fighting with Pete Garcia, who was just finally and belatedly fired by FIU. It took a while, but FIU finally figured out who was right (Mario) and who was a cheap weasel (Pete).

But, sure, people want to invent myths about Mario's time at FIU. No big deal, I just ignore ignorant people. What Mario accomplished at FIU was staggering, given the challenges he had to overcome. Hey, and how's Mario's FIU coaching tree doing? Does Billy even HAVE a coaching tree?

Second, you're the one who is now turning "failed coach" Mario into a guy that should "completely and totally" have had a bigger job at Alabama than Billy did. You know, Billy Gaypier, the guy who was fired as a position coach at Clemson, the position he now wants to coach all by himself at Florida.

Finally, while you have tried to mock and minimize the fact that Mario has outperformed Billy for over a decade, you still haven't explained why so many Florida fans (mistakenly) think that Billy and Mario are equals or will experience comparable levels of success in their new jobs.

I only made it my username because I saw you guys whine about it over here before making my account and wanted to ruffle your feathers some more. Mission was accomplished. If I could change it, I would, because I've gotten my entertainment from it.

You can change it. We allow that kind of thing. I suggest SIX RANGZ.

At least we've won our conference before. You should ask Pitt for pointers.

We've won our conference before. Multiple times actually. Google can be your friend.

Also, I would be willing to bet you a year's salary that Miami will win a championship in its CURRENT conference in fewer years than it took Florida to win the SEC. I trust Blake Alderman to hold the money.

It's irrelevant. Being an NFL HOFer has to do with the individual, rather than which university that individual attended. Miami's NFL HOFers weren't NFL HOFers because they went to Miami. They weren't NFL HOFers for anything that they accomplished at Miami. They were NFL HOFers because they were elite football players who merely decided to take their elite talent to Miami. In an argument about college football programs and college football success, it has no basis. Any and all bragging rights about those HOFers is only relevant to the extent of their college accolades--which there are many. But as my GIF states, I don't care about what x player did outside of college.

Again, here is the self-contradictory nonsense that you spew.

NFL HOF'ers...were definitely going to be great. The university had nothing to do with it. It's just a coincidence that so many HOF'ers pick Miami...

Then why does Florida even bother to recruit kids by telling them about development and NFL alums? I mean, just don't lie about this. You guys have been trying to dunk on us for months about how you hired Corey Raymond, and all the guys he's developed, and all the guys he has in the NFL...

But now it doesn't matter, because the players were "elite" in high school and they were going to be elite in the NFL no matter what? Suuuuure.

Go back and review Ed Reed's recruitment, and tell me about all the other great schools that were lining up just to be a short-term landing spot for him before he became an NFL HOF'er...

Being in the SEC does make us superior, and you're lying to yourself if you say that you wish Miami wasn't a member. UF wins the All-Sports trophy nearly every year. It's the best athletics program in the SEC and one of the top in the country.

Just because we've been down in football doesn't change the fact that we are in a better conference than Miami. However, bragging about being in the SEC is not synonymous with adopting Bama's or other team's success. If Bama wins, nobody from UF takes credit for it. So, your post was bad, and you should feel bad.

Literally, the only reason I want Miami to join the SEC is so that Florida will have to stop ducking us.

He’s funny in what he does. No one was winning a battle of quips with him - that’s like trying to insult Chise and win. He’s my favorite poster on their board though I like SU - who went to On3 - and CAW, Smurphy and some others for different reasons.

But yeah, it’s not going to be a battle of X’s and O’s with Northern. That’s not his thing compared to some others on there.

Can we do a fan exchange program?

Can we now send @TrumpyCane over there for a weekend?

Cool, this nerd came here, replied “I know you are but what am I?” 150 times and thankfully has gone. What a huge waste of time.

I'm not a huge fan of our pet gator but he is a legit poster, here for the discourse with some inherent homer bias.

But this ******* made 90% straight troll posts without any actual intellectual debate. He did cherry pick a few softball questions to sort of keep up the ruse that he was here to legitimately debate his point of view.

In the end he demonstrated exactly the type of behavior and intelligence we expect from your average Florida grad.

Cue the Billy Madison "everyone in this room is now dumber" gif
