Puppy chow all day, all night.how to you take creatine? powder/shakes?
This guy(Pate) is easily the best in the bizz. Love his show and how well he articulates his points.American Samoa in the house lol. That was an awesome interview. Mario is a real one. Looking forward to this season.
The school hasnt invested in itself in a looooooooong time, known for cheap hires and even cheaper allocation for staff/resources. Mario getting upclose and seeing what a big time football program looks and feels like in real time at Bama and NikeU, he knows it would be career suicide to leave Oregon to come to miami if they were not committed. This is/wasnt a secret 5 mil at Nike U and Miami is not the same because there is more to it than just that, this is obvious if you look at the cfb landscape and how it has grown/evolved in last decade plus. You need a commitment to winning from the top all the way down. Without that we get the rudderless stationary neverending 7-5 seasons and #buildingchampions hashtagsI finished the interview.
It has been discussed here ad nauseum but I always thought it was more speculation than anything; I think that was the first time I ever heard Mario himself discuss that he had no interest coming here unless Miami was intent on making a financial commitment to the program that he deemed appropriate. That's pretty unique. I think most of us would have found a $5 million salary at [Oregon or whatever other school] and $5 million at UM equivalent. Mario didn't. I respect that. The man clearly has a vision and goal beyond enriching himself.
I'm too young for Schnelly and JJ, but I don't think any coach in my lifetime has ever had such a clear vision about what a program and its foundation should look like than Mario. The coaching still scares me a little bit, but once Mario the program-builder gets his roots into this, Mario the head coach is going to have a much easier job.
agreed. and it was a tripartite agreement. mario gave them (rudy and joe and jose mas) a detailed list of what he required and they (rudy and joe) made sure that donors (mas, ruiz et al.) were on board also to help foot the bill.I finished the interview.

I'm a skeptic and I think coaches look out for themselves beyond all else. The fact that Mario seemingly does not value $5 million (btw, I just picked a random number) from Oregon the same as $5 million from Miami (pre-investment) makes me feel optimistic that we have the right CEO in place.The school hasnt invested in itself in a looooooooong time, known for cheap hires and even cheaper allocation for staff/resources.

Well saidI finished the interview.

When you hear him talk, it seems that short of some remarkable opportunity, Mario plans to be here for a long, long time to see this through. You get the sense that's who he is and that he feels obligated to repay UM for demonstrating the financial commitment to him. I think the only way this goes south is if UM decides to bail on its commitment and reverts back to being cheap.Well said
It’s the first coach in my lifetime that I feel like they will be given everything they need to succeed
It’s been decades of excuses (some valid) and could of, would of, should of etc
I’m not sure if Mario’s plan will ultimately work, but I know he will be given the time and resources to do it
I guess the main takeaway from that is whether Mario is here for 4 years or 20 years, the direction of the entire program is headed in the right direction from an investment standpoint
Yep. And I’m 100% sure he told everyone at Miami the same thingWhen you hear him talk, it seems that short of some remarkable opportunity, Mario plans to be here for a long, long time to see this through.

Pate was hook line and sinker, bought in on Gattis and how big of a hire it was. His tune didn’t change until actual coaches told him to change it. I mean kudos to him for being first to say it out loud, but let’s not act like he watched the film and said nah this won’t work. He was told it wouldn’t, after he was excited about it.Pate liking Dawson is nice to see and I'm excited to see that sit down. He was one of the first ones in the media to say that other coaches in the industry didn't like Gattis and that Gattis wasn't a fit at UM etc. and he ended up being right.
I dont believe that to be true because we have been shopping in discount bin for coaches for yearsssssssssss... I think coaches always have request for salaries for themselves AND their staff because they know the realities of cfb. We have been notoriously known in past for being cheap with staff.. A guy like Urban who help put camps like friday night lights and such on map is not gonna go to a situation where he will get needed support.. I cant speak for Lane because I think he wanted out of ole miss badI'm a skeptic and I think coaches look out for themselves beyond all else. The fact that Mario seemingly does not value $5 million (btw, I just picked a random number) from Oregon the same as $5 million from Miami (pre-investment) makes me feel optimistic that we have the right CEO in place.
Like, I just think that if we had offered Lane the same exact money that he was getting from Ole Miss or Urban they would have bolted without any care in the world about what kind of investment Miami would make to the foundation behind the scenes.
