Mario Cristobal on Joe Rose Show 10/16

Advertisement
Hate to be the Debbie Downer but we ain't winning this one either.

-- TVD's bromance with Restrapon will continue, severely limiting what part of the playbook Shannon can call from. It would be unrealistic to believe a week between games is enough to correct that problem. That is who he is--probably his downfall as a career QB in any league. Defenses don't even need to pressure Tyler, they just need to lean on X to completely disrupts the passing. Only chance at getting this offense going is using tight ends, which after six weeks of college football their underutilization has turned this offense into two-dimensions. Tight-Ends make up 3.5% of all receiving attempts, 4.1% of all receiving yards. So much for TE-U. GTFOH with that ****. No help with a tough defense coming into town either.

-- The defense is what they are--good, tired from carrying the offense, some missing players that have been non-factors. Issues that are surmountable.

-- Last, I hate that ****** like all of you but let's be real here, Dabo Sweeney is going to outcorch Cristobal. Nothing more needs to be said about it--the last two weeks have been doing all the talking.
I'm surprised more people aren't talking about the first point you've brought up. I believe X had 17 targets against UNC. That stat is crazy. Their relationship has been brought up many times, and there's a biased nature of TVD's to always go to X. This has cost us and continues to do so. We also don't utilize our TEs, at all, which as has been brought up, may be our most talented unit on this team.

And agree on the last point - Dabo has a down team this year by recent Clemson standards. But he's still far better than Mario.
 
There are a lot of facts in your post, but you’re also looking at everything from a macro view and ignoring the micro

I try to look at each game individually and our last two games coaching wasn’t good enough and had a direct impact on our losses

TVD is average in my book… the Texas AM game is an outlier. His reliance on X and inability to work thru progressions will hold us back until he changes his ways

The defensive regression, particularly busts in the secondary, are major concerns
Again, you have no idea what TVD is being asked to do. all of these assumptions about what he ISN'T doing are unreal...

And why the complaints about Restrepo? He catches nearly everything thrown his way - he's reliable and moves the chains.
No one complained when every pass went to Rambo...

How has Restrepo catching clutch balls hurting the team? How about the ones Colbie Young dropped? How about George running the wrong route and also running into Restrepo on another play?
 
For a caveman HC, you would believe being disciplined would be at the forefeont of what he demands. Instead, we rank 117th out of 130 FBS teams in penalties per game.
To add onto this, it's one thing if we consistently hold or have PI calls. We commit the absolute dumbest penalties by way of too many men on the filed, unsportmanlike conduct, etc.. Those are the truly maddening penalties.

I'm not putting this on Restrepo, he's fine. The problem is TVD only focusing on Restrepo. Mistakes happen in football, we've seen X drop passes as well, it happens. If one of the players aren't getting it done, why not put someone else in? Why aren't the TEs being targeted?

People complain about a receiver getting open and playing well.

It's a new era in Miami. The era where the fans **** on producing players.
 
This program has made being a fan miserable. Especially for a guy born in 1997. All I know
As a guy born in 1992, I was just getting into football when the 2001 season happened and is what got me hooked on the Canes. Just enough to suck me in and have proceeded to punish me for it since lol.

What else can Mario say? The shannon golden and Diaz years along with shalala did nothing to build the brand back up. Mario is trying but we all know it’s not impossible but it’s going to be difficult. Very difficult.
 
Need a win so bad. Have to win this. Just have to. Please lord.

If there was ever a time to win a big game, it would be now. Clemson is not the Clemson of old. This offense is struggling, but what gives me caution is their defense is back to being elite. They are top 5 in defense & a top 40 team in creating turnovers.

Our Achilles’ heel has been giving up the rock; dare say, it’s in our DNA when we play P5 teams. But, this is by far the most winnable game against Clemson I can remember since Dabo. If we get smoked, man…

Reread the post. No issue with XR7, he is super reliable.

My issue is with TVD and how he sees the field and how frequently he locks in on XR

So you think the recipe for Miami to win is for XR to get 35-40% of TVDs targets and completions????

Come on ... you know he isn't complaining about Restrepo .... he is commenting on the fact that TVD isn't even looking AT other receivers 99% of the time. There are other players ... RB's, TE's and WR's ... that have been open ... guys that are perhaps faster and by mixing it up, spreading the ball around, UM might put up more points. Nobody ... nobody is bashing Restrepo but rather TVD's inability to go through progressions and get more guys involved in the offensive production.

Wes Welker once got 170+ targets in back-to-back seasons, not a single Patriot fan was complaining, I'll tell ya.

We can include the TE more and we should, believe me. But the offense is performing well. There's more glaring issues on this team that should be addressed.

Nah man he’s locking onto X 99% of the time it’s why he as 1,200 yards passing and 12 TDs to guys not named Restrepo
