Mario Cristobal on Joe Rose 10/24

[HurricanePhilly]

Some of you will twist anything into something. Its actually impressive.

 

[JOE'CANE]

Exactly! But notice HE DIDNT SAY, "We left jobs and opportunities that would have paid us more money then UM, but we took less money to come here and turn this around"...

Lmfao I was gonna write that, yea the better pay and lifestyle ha nothing to do with it.

 

[RozayCane]

I think we’ll have at minimum 30 new players in this team next season.

He hates this roster. Hopefully he feels the same about the OC/WR & QB coach.

 

[Hoyacane1620]

Sounds like all that tough guy talk from his Saturday post game presser has all but gone away. Smh.

He walks a fine line with that. There are 5 games left and he has to get what's left of the team through them.

'I'm laughin to the bank...'

 

[rolodex]

I'm off the Mario wagon bc no UM team gets to lose to MTSU. However, he's staying on message with this being a process and not an overnight turnaround. That message hasn't changed. He's not going to ever please the fan base with these interview - not going to throw his coaches under the bus, not going to reveal anything important. It is what it is and like it or not he's here for close to 10 years. Suck it up! Oh, and lets get back to work!

Big thing I noticed was he kept talking about the "half a yard".

We were up 7-0 and driving..went for it on 4th and didn't get the half yard. A few plays later we've given up 3 turnovers and we're down 14-7 instead of up 14-0.

He said that quick sequence of events was a huge killer.

Here is a perfect example of why the problem is both players/coaches and not 1 absolute answer.


Gattis is at fault for these short yardage failures. We are playing our 9th/10th guys off the bench on the OL and still trying to run the ball into rugby scrums. How about scheming an easy throw with your qb who's been playing really well? Every time we motion a wr in to block the edge I think to myself "okay motion now throw him the ball in the flat".


Now players. Let's just acknowledge that these kids time and time again turn a papercut into a bleed out scenario. Whether it was the MTSU blown coverages after a turnover or in this game the back to back fumbles, when adversity hits, they just fold.

A few things that stood out (and I’m going to paraphrase)

Mario mentioned a couple of times that he and the staff left great jobs to come to Miami understanding the challenges turning the program around after years of ineptitude.

He believes he can turn the program into championship caliber.

Asked about player effort Sat, Mario said he didn’t see anybody laying down

Asked about the 8 turnovers and he mentioned Roosters fumble, KeyShawn’s fumble, and another as being mental lapses.

Asked about Jake’s play he said he made some good plays but obviously there were some Jake would like to have back.

No update on TVD’s status and it looks like no OL will return soon.

Always talks about returning to work and being real with the players and coaches.

In other words, nothing really new.

Since he saw no lack of effort, I guess Duke (and MTSU) just had superior talent.

 

[TpaBayFlyFisher]

EIGHT turnovers! Most in power 5 in over a decade.

You can be more "talented" than someone and not know your assignment or ******* fumble.

 

[Felonious Monk]

EIGHT turnovers! Most in power 5 in over a decade.

Clearly that's on Gattis because we never fumbled 8 times before he was OC.

 

[crossover22[]_[]]

When you throw in the melonated comment it undermines the absolute 100% truth that he's starting to sound like a car salesman.

Thats just a joke. Color doesn't matter. Just saying at this point i see nothing that separates them other than a little more tan complexion.

Unfortunately, Golden may have been better. He was just married to his DC.

he didnt actually say they left good jobs to come here did he? thats ridiculous. he got paid 80 mill. **** him for that. hes not doing this for free

 

[hoops156]

Don’t lie to us mario. some players definitely quit.

def and some coaches did too

the funny part is It appears the team folded after we went up 21-17 (was watching the replay last night). after that 10 min drive of conversion after conversion (ooh guess how many times the QB just ran?).

 

[Cat_5_Cane]

Oof. Hope he didn't say it like that.

he said they left really good jobs to come to a great job.....

Huge turn of events for sure. Now fix it

thats a bit better I guess but no one wants to hear that when you get blown out by duke at home lol

 

[WR Cane]
