If you put it into context, it's an even dumber argument those clowns love to make. In the 3 years before Mario took over the program, Strock led FIU to 3-7, 5-6, and 0-12 records (2004-2006). That's 8-25 with a 24% win percentage. So not surprisingly, Mario went 1-11 in his first season at FIU (2007). But by 2010, he'd taken FIU to their first ever bowl game (and first ever bowl win). In 2011, FIU won its conference for the first time ever. The next season FIU regressed back towards their historic mean, going 3-9, and Pete Garcia made the foolish decision to let go of Coach Cristobal. Mario was 27-47 at FIU (a 36% win percentage).

Mario did the above with the football program down a few scholarships and under 4 years probation, because of some NCAA violations across three sports (basketball, baseball, and football) in the years just before Mario arrived.

So basically, Mario inherited a trash G5 program under NCAA probation and sanctions that went winless the year before he got there, and he managed to make it a little less trash.

I look at his record at a p5 program.
Also, check out what Finebaum said about how Bama feels about MC as a HC, And who they’ll be considering in a few years when we force Satan to retire. The same Bama that uF has been sucking off the last dozen or so years.

Fiu was also on probation for infractions. And then more schollies taken away due to apr. This all happened as Mario took the job. He spoke about it in the Roy Firestone interview. He says due to the exponential apr scholarship penalties they were down 15-20 schollies.

These Gator fans have the most self inflated opinions of their program and refuse to accept the reality ... even Finebaum put it out there in a loud voice .... "Miami is a big time brand and with the right coach and recruiting ... they will be a factor". At THIS MOMENT the two programs are on very distinct trajectories .... UM with one of the most experienced elite staffs in college football and UF .... a bargain basement collection for the most part of journey men hoping to make careers of coaching. Night and day difference.
