My support is passionate, but not unconditional

Expect improvement in Y1-2, not miracles.

We need to be patient and see improvements.

Consistent "4th and 17" and "lose to FIU" moments will be huge red flags.

As said with former HC Diaz...

In Super Mario we trust, until we don't.

the standard is the standard -- and Mario like every other UM coach will be held to them.

That's the way it should be

100%. I've said the same thing for years.

Just be realistic to how close the standard can be reached with the current group of athletes.

Obviously recruiting class and transfer portal could remake roster in Spring and Summer Camps...

Let's set (reset) expectations say 15 Aug 22.

yes, getting Mario Cristobal is like getting a Red Ryder BB Gun (with the thingy that tells time) for Christmas. Im happy. He's a steep upgrade from Manny. But I also realize hes not perfect. But guess what? There is no perfect candidate for UM save for Jimmy Johnson getting into a hot tub time machine.

Mario brings credibility and respect to the program. He has taken the long road to Miami. I love his track record leading up to this. The time and place for him to come home was now, and I think he realized that as Oregon put the full court press on him late in the process.

Now, he does concern me with his game/clock management and offensive approach. I hope his OC is TVD-friendly, that simple. But in terms of being physical upfront, tackling better, and being better fundamentally, I'm very optimistic we will see rapid improvements in those areas.

Finally, it looks like Miami has finally entered the realm of big-time college football, and has entered the arms race. We got what we wanted, and with that, we as a fan base need to do our part by supporting this thing financially. No, none of us(or most of us, lol) are not the Mas brothers, or Dan Lambert, but us regular working stiffs can at least get back to our season tickets, upping our donations levels a bit (I'll certainly be doing just that), every little bit counts-- and matters.

I know folks that graduated from Miami with multiple degrees and had flat out stopped going to games. I know of boosters (individuals who give six-figures a year) that were out. They had pulled their support .Well guys, it's time to get back on this thing. I think we could be in for a fun ride.

It's great to be...

E, with this hire, I haven't completely written off this recruiting class...

And the early, emotional, reactions appear to indicate he has several recruits' and transfer portal targets' attention.

Is a jump into top 10 realistic? Top 20?

Miami was what, 50-60 just a few days ago?

I'll take a top 20-ish class, and tranfer portal action

But Wes B's commitment, to me, was a sign that change was coming
 
Can’t wait for the Future of Canes FB. Gonna make 1st Canes Game next year for Sure. Hopefully a Saturday Canes and Sunday Fins combo. Will have Season Tix in a few years when I retire in South Florida 🐬🐬

Not expecting a miracle but I do expect to see immediate improvement. It is not hard to observe. The ACC is not that good of a conference and it shouldn't be hard on Mario to beat those mediocre teams.
 
My expectations tempered by need to fill in numerous roster deficiencies. Just want to see improvement across the board
 
We always renew and it’s always under protest 😂 For once I’ll get to do it as a “fan” and I can’t wait to just enjoy the games. Like everyone on this board, it’s excruciating knowing we’ll play down to our opponents and often be disappointed. It’s been a long time dream now for the staff and players to show up prepared. I might even enjoy an adult beverage or two 😬
