Josh Pate On Miami's Meltdown vs Georgia Tech (Late Kick Cut)

[JD4]

Agree with everything he said he’s using his brain

 

[Dwinstitles]

I was just about to post this. This is everything I would say

 

[90scane]

It isn't about Saturday anymore. It is 100% about how Mario eats this and adjusts. Does he go ultra-conservative or push the team to run up the score like Miami in the 80-90s?

Joel Klatt had a take at end of his show, if he clips it will post..

Starts at 41:55 mark

Yup. Well said. How the team responds the next 2 weeks will be very telling. When I see a kid like Matt Lee crying on the sidelines, I don’t see a kid who is ready to fold up the tents and go home after 1 loss. I hope everyone else on the roster feels the same way.

I think the real answer here is that Mario needs to find his Biff Puggi. Someone can can differ too as an advisor/helper with management as a whole on the field. Eddie O or even asking Butch comes to mind.

 

[TheEye]

You mean he agrees it was a dumb call and does NOT agree to firing Mario? It’s like he’s watched the sport.

Good stuff by Pate...reasonable for sure.

It's just frustrating after so many years of malaise, the team looks to be turning a corner and recruiting is warming up, then something that just can't happen does happen and trims the remaining margin of error to almost nothing with UNC, Clemson, FSU, and LVille coming up.

 

[NE Canes]

Agree with Josh. This mess is more than hard to accept but Mario will be the coach 5 years from now if he wants, like it or not.

 

[423Hurricane]

I don’t agree they were trying to add to the stats with another score. It is possible they were trying to get Cheney more yards

 

[itsacanething]

pates take is superior to Klatt. everyone in sports and in life to some extent has to have a short memory when mistakes are made. the players will not hold it against Mario unless things unravel badly from here. to those that think the team will go in the tank they are wrong. it is over, move on. painful loss but loses happen for tons of reasons in sports. program is trending in the right direction no matter what anyone says.

butch? I recall he had some problems in this area himself.

 

[90scane]

even asking Butch comes to mind.

You had me until there.

Are you doubting Butch wouldn’t be an improvement? He ain’t Saban but he ain’t Mario either

Saban isn't the best clock manager either. Just Saturday his QB threw an incomplete pass on 1st & 10 with 1:36 and Texas A&M having no timeouts.

Butch = Mario = Elite recruiter. I actually think Butch was a better X/Os guy but I wouldn't say Butch was a good clock/game manager. Heck, find a NERD that Mario can trust to tell him what to do and when with timeouts, kneeling, etc.

Good point by Klatt about the QB or TVD

As the leader of the offense and of the huddle as soon as he gets the call for a run play he has to go back and be like wtf are we doing, we should just be taking a knee

Makes me think Mario was trying to get one more score to win by 10 instead of 3 because he’s over analyzing the future which is how Miami might be looked at for playoff or bowl situations

People don't like him because he uses his brain. I saw at least 2 comments on this site that they don't care for him because he's "too safe." That's wild.

A dude who gives reasonable, level-headed arguments is dismissed because it's safe. Do you mean he lives in the real world?

you gotta be a dummy to not be able to subtract on the sidelines.

Go watch Mario and Dawson before that last offensive snap. Mario's looking at the clock and trying hard but BRO run the ball!
