For all of our fans falling all over themselves to hire this guy, allow me to present some painful facts:
- He has a career head coaching record of 35-52.
- He’s coached 7 full seasons in his career.
- He’s NEVER won 9 games.
- He’s never been a coordinator (ONE year as a Co-OC)
- He was fired from FIU after winning 3 games in his sixth season.
- Butch just won 9 games at FIU in year 2.
Just a few comparisons to some other candidates being discussed who have head coaching experience:
Mike Leach:
- Leach went 57-31 in his first 7 seasons
- Two seasons with 9+ wins during that time
Matt Campbell:
- Campbell went 54-33 in his first 7 seasons
- Three seasons with 9+ wins during that time
Dino Babers:
- Babers went 55-35 in his first 7 seasons
- Theee seasons with 10+ wins during that time
Mario is another CEO:
Mario does not have a side of the ball he specializes in. He isn’t some defensive wizard, or a cutting edge offensive guru. He makes his name being an intense guy that people think can recruit. He did his recruiting while running around with an A slapped on his polo asking kids if they wanted to play for Nick Saban. I ask, is that a difficult task?
- Cristobal is yet another CEO that would require two ace coordinator hires.
- He is not some innovative brilliant X and O guy.
- We wouldn’t be able to leave one side of the ball completely under his watch.
- His recruiting prowess mostly comes from recruiting for Nick Saban and the top program.
- We’ve learned the last few years talent isn’t enough.
- As a head coach, he’a failed to do the one thing he’s supposed to: win.
Hmmm.
A guy that people say is high energy, a good recruiter, but would come to Miami with a losing record and doesn’t have a track record of being elite on one side of the ball as a coordinator... sound familiar?
Don’t make the same mistake twice: just say no.
