Based on Mario's interview we are clearly trimming the roster ( he wants over 30 new players, more Bain's), sounds like some new coaches could be added, and he talked about looking for a QB. it sounded like TVD and Jacurri are gone. Some of us have discussed this stuff privately now it seems Mario is going public.

Another interesting thing. He said Miami needs more late season winter games to be tough and we need to have pride late in season and in bowl games regardless of the bowl.

Sounds like mario wants to run miami's football program like Alabama does it which is great news!
 
Soooooo will one of those qb’s at least play in the bowl game lol if not, we won’t score more than 3 points and proceed to get embarrassed in a bowl game again.

Wants 30+ new players is a given.

26 commits, looking to add more, maybe lose 3-4 of them. Class probably ends around 25-27 guys. I think the portal class is 10 guys max. Probably 8 if I was guessing the number.
Crib alluded to yesterday this portal class likely being our best yet, if we only bring in 8 would that be fair to assume the 8 guys we could land might be impact players ?
 
On discussing the future with current players on the team:

-
“You respectfully approach it to see where it is at and you help them navigate through all the noise,” . “You show the guys—that it is relevant to—the real draft information as opposed to some of the BS that they get from their advisors. Then you figure out exactly on the roster what you have got to do. If you are a young quarterback on this roster or a quarterback on this roster, you have to be super excited about the weapons around you and the protection you are going to get. There is a lot of positives. We feel really strongly about the young guys and we are super proud of what Tyler did. We just have to figure it out.”

On coaching changes:

-
mario respects any decision that coaches need to make for their futures. “The guys that are here now are happy and at some point and time, everybody has to make a decision, but you don’t go into this thing hoping, wishing, and worrying,” “We will have a great list of people. There are some real ones here and there are some real ones out there. Make sure you get the right one. We have flooded this building with some great people and we need to get a bunch more. There is no complacency.”

Yeah, I’d say 10+ via the portal. Latest rumor is that we’ll lose 20-25 in the portal. If you combine the seniors with early entries (~ 15), then you can see where you get to the 10+ number via portal acquisitions pretty easily. I’d say 10-15.
 
I didn't get any indication on what is happening with TVD or JB. In fact, when Joe asked him directly about TVD and the QBs for the bowl game, Mario danced around anything specific. Just said that he wanted the team to take the late season/bowl games seriously. He didn't talk about any player or position with any specific comments.
 
7-5 and ball club. No QB depth, need back end defensive help and interior DL help. More speed and game breaking players at the skill position.

this is closer to what was said on Ferman/Shodell morning podcast. They said there's 9 leaving through attrition/graduation and they expect another 10, possibly up to 12- leaving through the portal.

A given? Man, that’s a surprisingly high volume IMO. Most of them won’t be missed but there will be a surprise or two.

Update: I didn’t think of graduates and declaring to NFL so that makes sense.

Exactly. This is pretty par for roster turnover these days. You're going +/- 25 guys every year between graduates and incoming freshmen. Factor in guys transferring in/out and 30 players isn't some kind of huge roster makeover.
