I was negged to death when Mario was hired and I said he was a mediocre hire. There is a huge majority on this board that just loved the hire that we can pull up and bump all those threads if we really wanted to. I don't root for coaches and even though I believe Mario was a mediocre hire doesn't mean he will be. I certainly hope he isn't. I believe in his core belief of tough physical football. It's the foundation of winning football. All the CIS scheme gurus that claim Miami has to run a certain offense to win are flat-out dumb. Miami needs to rebuild the trenches, especially in the offensive line. No matter what "scheme" you want to employ if you can't block it doesn't matter. Lashlee couldn't even scheme around a mediocre offensive line, even though CIS told me the "spread offense" would mitigate poor oline, LOL. No matter what any of you say now, his offense was mediocre until TVD took off in the second half of the UVA game. Still, his offense had many turnovers and worthless halves of football because the Oline is unable to move people with consistency to have a run game. Obviously, this **** of an offensive staff couldn't even replicate what Lashlee did but that was mostly due to TVD missing the last half of the season. Mario and Gattis completely abandoned what they tried to install all Spring and Summer, Literally started during the MTSU game. If you look at it objectively, this current offensive staff did try to adjust to their players to no avail. Pretty much abandoned all gap scheme runs, they were gonna let TVD sling it all over the field and then he got hurt and Garcia showed 0 poise or command when he came in. Start with the trenches on offense first and build around them, then the QB and then you can start cooking on offense.
