Mario’s elite trait

Watched Cristobal’s interview on Bussin with the boys and I’m not sure anything other than Canes football crosses that dudes mind. His authenticity and passion for the program is unmatched.

They tried asking him questions outside of football and it’s like they were speaking a different language. The guy is in another dimension and laser focused on bringing this program back like his life depends on it.

This has helped me sleep the past few years waiting to get to this point. 100%.

There’s no guarantee we ever win a natty with Mario, and no he’s not a proficient coach. But he is ELITE at building programs, and was exactly what we needed:

Hilarious making a graph for this.

One thing I will say has surprised me is how quickly he has moved to correct mistakes. I think that is a very good sign.

The losses hurt Mario more than any human being currently on earth (Irvin is 2nd, and Jerome Brown, RIP, still cares just as much from his spiritual plane). So mario had to correct his mistakes because he could not accept being the reason the Canes lost a game.

If you think we will all remember the GTech loss for a few years, Mario will be upset about it on his deathbed.

Agreed, all he has to do is leave gameday to his 2 coordinators!

Exactly. I said this a few weeks ago in another thread, but in today's CFB landscape with NIL, transfer portal, and all the other things going on, I do think it's best for the HC to be the CEO-type of coach who then leaves the game day to the coordinators. There's way too much to do for one person. Look at all the HCs that are failing trying to do it all and be OC/DC too. It just doesn't work anymore.

No HC is perfect; every single human being on this Earth has flaws. But I will always take a man who loves this university as much as I do, and has the health and stamina to make it the best he can. Add in the fact that he doesn't have the Al Golden-type ego, and his ability to hire top coordinators, and his recruiting prowess, and his connections to big booster money, and I don't know if we could do better unless we built a robot.

He gets way too much criticism for his one flaw, and not enough credit for all his strengths, in my opinion. There's a reason Oregon fans are still salty.
