If a BOT member paid all his salary, as has been discussed as how we get him, then yes possible baggage.It isn’t lazy if the guy is good. Manny was lazy because he was a 1st time HC, not because he was previously on staff.
Mario has earned his stripes. He wouldn’t be controlled by any BOT member any more than any other hire, IMO.
Ex-players would love the hire. Is that somehow a negative to you?
I’m not sure baggage is the right word. What baggage?
I guess maybe because he came on board with golden for a cup of coffee then bolted for Bama? I think most can look past that. I know I can.
Id love to get an up and comer type, but this program needs established and successful right now. We can’t afford another miss. Mario checks all the boxes, and he is a true cane at heart.
I didn’t want him last round, but I’d chip in for his salary this round.
Explayers likes and dislikes can be divisive as it is largely emotional and not about in depth analysis of a coaching search.
Making one phone call and calling it a search is not a great process unless Urban Meyer is on the other end of the phone, and he likely won’t be, if the only call is going to Mario.
