Mario Addresses Disgruntled Parents

[nystateofmind]

I mean when you say stuff, it comes across dumb as **** but you’re still here…somehow.

Have you bought tickets for the ACC Championship Game yet?

I understand the assertion made by @nystateofmind because we're in a different climate with kids and parents but I'd still end up siding with you about this philosophy can't be predicated on wins and "earning the right".

Because how would that actually work sequentially? You humor any disgruntled parent or "mentor" until one day you've had enough success and can tell them to "f off"? Well at that point humoring them has obviously worked for you so then why even change your philosophy?

Effective use of logic on CIS. ****.

Really?

You don't think that's his regular Zoom call with South Florida media?

Good lord, we need to find some better fans in the Portal.

Face to face, but he knows where it's going to end up.

I don't have an issue with it, but then it ends up on some Twitter. Just thought that was ironic.

Earned the right ? It could’ve been a homeless meth addict saying it and they’d still be right. If you have issues with somebody in an organization talk to them straight up like a grown adult. Not running to social media acting like a teenager. It’s sad behavior. Talk to the coaches , if you don’t like the conversation go elsewhere. It’s needless drama.

How do you know they didn’t already speak to the coaches before going public?

Mario never implied they didn’t. He simply said if a parent wasn’t happy they could pull their player out.

Well listen Mario, you’re not Nick Saban. You’re not Bill Belichick.

You’re a .500 career coach who got fired from FIU and lost to Middle Tennessee this year.

You haven’t earned the right to strong arm or bully anyone.

The proper response would’ve been: “My door is always open for parents to discuss whatever issues or concerns they may have regarding their kids - football or non football. That’s something that gets handled privately + in house and I’m not going to comment on this specific instance. I’ll only repeat that my door is always open”.

Instead he tries to be a tough guy.

Baseless pablum from a psuedo macho man.

In high school, me and this other guy were the last two cuts on the varsity bball team, man I was distraught, bball was my first love. The next day, the other kid was on the team because his father spoke to the head coach (had a relationship with him a lil). Man I was ****ed and wished I was put back on the team. But looking back at it, I'm happy I did not go complain to my parents to talk to the coach, always thought that was a bich *** move. Decided to lift for football. dont be a bich

Thank you for your service!!! I just recently retired from the Army. I was born in 81 and you are spot on!!!!

Same to you. I retired from the Navy last year, 20 years and 1 month.

Truth, but Mario gonna Mario and a lot of CIS will white knight for him here, at least as long as he gets results by 2025 or wherever we're moving the goalposts to.

Irregardless, message sent and again, I do agree with his saying talk face to face. Maybe they did and if he had that attitude, I'd tell him to his face to kick rocks in a not so nice way.

 

[JHallCanes]

Mario has a lot of flaws in my opinion

This is not one of them

 

[OriginalCanesCanesCanes]

Looks like the shtick is back.

Apologies if posted elsewhere. Mario has made some obvious mistakes this year but I think this is spot on. Establish this as the standard of how this program will deal with outside distractions of this nature and stick to it. It'll serve us better in the long run.

Amen brotha......preach

 

[Suhrthing]

This is fine when Saban says it. He’s earned the right.

When Mario says it, it comes across as obdurate.

 

[dirtyred786]

Some Millennials and all of GenZ will not like this from Mario.

 

[Golsen82]

Goes without saying. He's too fat to run.

 

[canesdogo]

I think the point she/they/it was trying to make is when you lose to MTSU and Duke you don't get to be picky. The only problem with that is it's a ****** stupid *** point.

Mario is saying "I am the Captain of the ship"....my rules, if you don't like them, then get the Fu** off"

 

[BeastMode]

And people think there isn't a culture problem, when you have players who are comfortable walking out of practice and quitting on the team

It’s going to become harder and harder as kids get softer and softer. Social media is destroying the world can’t tell me different.

There is a reason Nick Saban is about ready to hand it up. There is a reason coach K, Roy Williams and others have given it up. This next generation of kids are built different and not in a good way. They live through their phones and likes on social media for clout. It’s a mental disease that many can’t wrap their head around. Coaching and leading young men will become tougher and tougher due to social media and parents are just as bad.

 

[Suhrthing]

Hey, everybody, look at me, I use pretentious words like obdurate.

Many believed his return would be recrudescent; here we are.

Reread my post , start with the last couple sentences, that’s called being an adult.

In the past few seasons, he’s been contacted by USC (allegedly), Auburn, Florida & I’m sure others. Add in what Miami ponied up to pay him & what Oregon was willing to go up to (rumor was $10 million)..

Not too bad for Average Joe.

What’s that supposed to prove? Has Mario even recruited a full cycle of kids yet?

There you go being retarded again…

We need to start giving people IQ tests

Simple questions like

“What is 2 + 2?”
