Mario and Jason Taylor...

Advertisement
I would run through a wall for Heatherman and JT. Young players feel the energy and love they have for the game. I think they will need to make a CFP playoff run before the high-end offers will come. The coaches and the players have an opportunity before them to change the narrative and show the world how good things are in Coral Gables. I think they will shock the world in the playoffs and all the platitudes and flowers for the players and coaches will follow

I don’t think he’s leaving. The reason I say it is he’s a legend down here and he bought a house in the Gables after selling that house he had forever in plantation. I think he wants to stay here and if Heatherman is here another year I don’t know that he doesn’t get the DC job.

Slow down with Mario, old man. Yesterday, when it was 4th down (after a Bain sack), and a penalty was on A&M for illegal hands to the face, our HC didn't know what to do. He had to ask for help from Hetherman who clearly told him to decline the penalty to keep it at 4th and 9, and force A&M to punt. Mario, almost......almost.....accepted that penalty.

That's just Mario trusting his people around him and making sure they are all on the same page. I didn't see anything wrong with it. Especially since we have had coaches like Golden and D'onofrio who thought they were the smartest person in the room wherever they were.

I mean 3rd and 20 wouldn't have been the end of the world, either. Good chance we get a sack or INT in that situation. ;). The only question was if they would punt on 4th and 9, or go for it. So yeah, a little thought had to go into that one.

Brother, I hear you, but our HC needs to know that declining a penalty is the correct decision.

Um, no brother. The game is tied at 3. A&M is punting the ball on 4th and 9 with an entire quarter left to play. And no, you don’t accept the penalty and move them back to give them another chance to convert.
 
With the college football world ever changing, I think we’ll see more guys like Heatherman stay as highly paid DC’s to not have to deal with all the extra CEO non-sense college coaches are dealing with nowadays.
I could see him being our version of Venables who stays despite yearly head coaching offers/interest until a prime/his dream spot opens.

He just seems like he loves the play calling, defensive scheming, and being Mr. Crazy eyes/high intensity on the sidelines that could get drained if he had all the other responsibilities if he were to be a Head Coach.

He will be tough to retain with this D line performance. D Lewis has brought some juice as well. Would love to get at least one more season out of JT. They're building something special here. This is what a Canes D line should look like.

A&M already went for it on 4th down on their own 46. That 3rd down was 3&6 on our 38 which imo was 4 down territory as long as Reed doesn’t take the sack. Which he did and changed the math for TAMU. But it’s probably worth discussing the exact down and distance and the likelihood TAMU goes for it.

Yes but the game wasn’t in the balance
