I don't know what Mario's buyout would be. I'm guessing, it will probably cost about $28m to move on from him, and around another $5m-$10m for the assistants. But if there ever was a time to do it, it's now. Yes, LSU, UF, and PSU all have openings, but Miami would be right there in the mix as a top job. Obviously, we have a good roster coming back (if players stay; and depending on the coach, they would return), a top 15 class, we play in dog **** & wide-open conference, updated facilities, a national brand, easy path to the CFP, and on, and on.
Why is the time now to do it?
Lane, Dillingham, Drinkwitz, Lea, Heupel, Sumrall, Huff, and of these guys would take Miami to the next level.
Mario ain't it. It's over. He can't win games in November; he consistently loses games Miami is favored, his ball control offense keeps opposing teams in the game, Miami is terribly undisciplined, and although Hetherman was a great hire, Gattis, Steele, Strong, Guidy, and now Dawson were and are failures. Is there any doubt now that Ward, Restrepo, Arroyo, Martinez, Fletcher, and a way better 2-5 WR depth made Dawson.
I can't stand Nevin Shapiro. But I admit I listened to his "Willis McGahee" podcast, and there's no doubt that rat was telling the truth about Mario and members of his staff not liking him (hello, Dawson).
Next season's schedule for a new coach is set up pretty nicely. Home games against Florida A&M, FSU, Pitt, Central Michigan, BC, and VaTech, with road games at ND, Clemson, UNC, Stanford, and Wake Forest.
Add to this very favorable schedule, probably the best roster returning in the ACC.
Support for the program is only going to get worse next season after another 3-4 losses (even with another very favorable schedule).
It's time. Cut the cord. Move on from Mario.
