I don’t trust Mario at all as a gameday coach or getting his team ready to play. We could go and beat a team like FSU and then turn around and get embarrassed by a team like Middle Tennessee State. There’s no consistency with him. His offenses typically underperform due to him meddling too much into it. He lets the DC run their side, let the OC do it in their own. I’m not even the biggest Dawson fan but you can clearly see a ton of Mario’s influence last year within the offense.
On the other hand, he’s a top 5 recruiter in all of college football. He can build the roster but as far as winning the “big game”. Not sure that’ll ever happen with him.
