Here is all you need to know about Mario. UM offered him a job, he accepted. He then said I was only kidding and accepted a job with Alabama 6 weeks later. We needed the MF'er for local recruiting but his previous ties to the U didn't matter to him even though we were the ONLY one offering him a job at the time. Now he did get screwed by the AD at FIU (Pete Garcia) who had an over sized ego but the U offered a rescue for him personally based on his past ties to the U. He chose Alabama over family. I may be old school but that never felt right to me. I would pass on him for that alone.
In his defense, he chose Nick Saban over Al Golden. If you wanted another crack at a HC gig, who would you choose? Part of me thinks he got here, saw Golden corch for 6 weeks & took the first offer than got him the **** out of dodge. Don't even blame him. No thanks on being our HC though... Judas. Lol
Al's mother would choose Saban over Golden
