Mario Cristobal and Manny Diaz are both Cuban, but that’s not the only thing they have in common. We’ll come back to this at the end. And to save the program, Cristobal must learn from Diaz.
Let’s look at a some quotes shall we.
"We are not ram rodding a system down anybody’s throat. We are going to constantly try to make the system have adjustments. We’ve adapted our scheme.” “Our system is going to have a foundation, but the system is going to go in different directions based on the personnel that we have here. We have to be an offense that plays with great effort and great toughness, but let’s use all our tools and get them the ball the best ways we can.”
“We believe in spreading the field, getting your playmakers in space and playing fast,”. “Ultimately, that’s what kids want to do. They love it, and if they’re doing what they want to do, they’ll buy into it a little bit more.” “At the end of the day, it doesn’t matter what you’re doing. You’ve got to have consistency at quarterback, and especially with what we want to do — playing fast and spreading the field, trying to put our playmakers in space,”. “You’ve got to have a quarterback that’s almost like a point guard on a basketball team, who could just kind of run the show and distribute things.”
“Now to say are you going to be spread or are you going to be pro? I don’t think you can pigeonhole yourself into that,”. “I like to think you’ve got to be both in both situations. You’ve got to utilize the talent you have on your team. What kind of players do you have on your team? What does it set up to be successful?”
“No-huddle fastball has changed college football,” “So I changed my philosophy about five or six years ago—maybe more than that. When redacted came here, we said we got to outscore them.”
“Obviously, we’re not going to get away from some of the base foundation that we truly believe in, with it starting with the run game and being able to impose a physical presence. That’s where it’s going to start for us. But it’s also about getting our skill players involved and having answers for what teams want to do defensively. We want to be able to dictate a game, not only from a tempo or style of play standpoint, but how teams view us and what we can attack them with.
“We’re a power spread…In everything we do, we want to be physical, and you can’t tweak that. You can’t proclaim that or slap it on your t-shirt and think it’s gonna work”.
The quotes are: Dan Enos, Rhett Lashlee, Kirby Smart, Nick Saban, Josh Gattis, Mario Cristobal
So why am I writing this long-winded post and claiming a guy with 2 conference championships needs to learn from a train wreck of a hire who couldn’t stop the run even with Imodium?
Because he is in the exact same position that Diaz was and made the exact same mistake that Diaz did. What is that exactly? They both hired dudes who left their previous positions at top tier schools to come to a dumpster fire. These dudes were both scorned and felt like they weren’t appreciated maybe? If so, why is that, why were they not appreciated? Cristobal left this dumpster fire to go to Alabama not vice versa, why would anyone make a downward move? It hurts to say that but that honestly tells me everything I need to know when I read between the lines. And both Diaz and Cristobal ate it up.
I’ll leave you with one last quote, one that Cristobal should basically quote word for word come the end of the season.
“There has to be accountability. The University of Miami cannot rank second to last (among power five schools) in anything. You can’t turn around and say we demand this of you as a player and then if you don’t do it, there will be consequences. As coaches we know this is the case.” Those were good men, they’re good coaches and to be honest they were friends. If there was ever one thing it would be so easy to fix. But at the same time there has to be accountability. The U of M cannot rank second to last in anything…"
That quote was by Manny “UNC is my Papi” Diaz. The only thing he needs to add after it is: “That’s why as of today I’m relieving Josh Gattis of his duties as offensive coordinator for the University of Miami.”
Josh Gattis may be a good man, I don’t know him personally and I don’t relish in people losing their jobs, but accountability from the top down is the only way to build a winning program. It's time for a change.
To the recruits out there reading this, believe in Mario, it's not going to be pretty, but I have faith that he will make the changes necessary, because unlike the others before him, he'll get the support he needs.
