I’ve always respected you, and mostly agreed with you over the years. Never once have I accused you of not using your brain because I may disagree with you on a particular point.
I have eyes to see with, and have followed Mario’s career path for the last few years. Stats do not lie. Various posters have also shared statistical data that shows that Mario’s teams’ offenses have had a horrible negative value over the years. That is to say, more games of negative value in the -20.00 or greater range than all but Iowa.
I guess pointing this out is not acceptable, and seen as attacking Mario. I have supported him in his recruiting, and said that he’s an elite recruiter various times since he got here. I always give him credit for his talent for landing talented players.
What I will not ever do with any coach is blindly follow him, specially when the data, and the evidence on the field on Saturdays say that he is not a good game day coach, and that he is ultra-conservative and stubborn as a mule.
He is 12-13 now as our HC. He needs to start winning soon, just like any other HC that’s at a program with high expectations. From most of what we’ve heard since he got here, he’s receiving a ton of financial support and has total control over the program.
