Mario Cristobal, Your Seat is Officially Lukewarm

Mario isn't being fired ... not this year or next or the year after. The Columbus gang will keep their boy in there, but the fan base is going to decline significantly as far as game attendance. Life is short, there are too many things to do on a Saturday (+ travel day) for non Miami Dade County fans to travel, book hotels, flights, rental cars etc. Too bad ... not sure where this leaves the UM football program ... as an "also ran" and candidate for the B12 once the next realignment hits? Or basically a G5 program in a weak ACC after that. Glad I was around to experience the glory day games under Dennis and Butch.

14-14 in the ACC. Losses to Middle Tennessee State (I was there, at noon, hot as balls. Most miserable game I’ve ever been to).

Everything about the game day operations is abysmal.

I was just thinking about that play with Lightfoot and the late hit. A timeout was called by Mario on that 4th & 8. He said he called it because he wanted to see what the offense was coming out in formation wise. Do you think Heatherman needed a timeout there? No!!!! That was stupid Mario. To compound the error in judgement, because he’s so unsure of himself, he called the timeout super late. He could have called it earlier instead of treating it like a game winning FG situation. So he put his players in a situation to make that mistake.

The guy is a ******* idiot!!!

I heard him talk about it this morning. My first thought was -"did your players know your thought process BEFORE the play"? did anyone ever say to them "in this situation, we are going to call a quick time out after we see what formation they line up in?" doesn't sound like anyone other than Mario knew he was going to do that...

I would bet a lot of money that neither Heatherman nor the players knew that timeout was coming.

He panicked. He’s a ******* idiot!!

So you agree with my “take” ? What’s your point exactly? My post said stop talking about firing that’s not an option even if he’s 0-12. Nowhere did I say I wanted him fired , I just stated a fact that rather triggered you or you want to debate over nothing …….

Why do we always end up with a HC that can't scheme around deficiencies? We passed on Lane in 2021 when he wanted to come here and we hired Mario. It’s amazing how bad we had to be to hire so many subpar coaches in a row. Coker, Shannon, Golden, richt, diaz, Mario. I mean its mind boggling that we couldn't manage the football program better than that. Not saying Mario cant change some of his ways moving forward but so far it doesn't look good.

I don't know what else to say. I am at a loss of words how bad this program has been the last 20 years and most of it is self inflicted.

The HC is the deficiency. Whether it is Randy with his stupid ******* doghouse. Or Golden and his dumb *** pillars. Or Richt with his nepotism. Or Manny with his down syndrome. Mario being a Neanderthal is just our most recent transgression.

No, I disagree actually think he has a chance of getting fired if he has a bad year next year anything below nine wins

I said it when Cristobal was hired- The marginal improvement in recruiting isn’t going to invalidate the lack of gameday coaching ability. It wasn’t much of an upgrade. Instead of paying Cristobal 5 million more per year, give that to Diaz for NIL and hiring a better staff. This isn’t a ringing endorsement for Diaz, just cold rational cost benefit analysis. We just got beat by the OC That Diaz hired. I think he would have brought in better recruiters to make up for his deficiencies. Even a generational qb like Ward wasn’t enough to make up for Cristobal’s coaching.

Ok Steve, let's assume his buyout right now is $30 million. Make some phone calls and see who wants to pony up more cash to remove him, then hire a new coach, while paying for facility improvements, and the occasional $4-6 million dollar mediocre-to-average quarterback.

Why was the guy hired in the first place? Why has the school been so bad at hiring coaches?

Season’s not over yet hypothetically he goes 4-0 you have a 10 win season. didn’t make the playoffs but it would be
The exact same situation as last year so tough the fire guy that wins 10 games a year if that happens, I would rather have the athletic director advocate for moving to the Big Ten so we have a better chance to get into the playoff with 10 wins if he gets eight wins That’s too much of a step back, but I don’t think they would buy him out this year. I definitely think next year there’s a chance if this year ended with eight wins, but I do think they would find the money. I don’t really think that’s the problem if you think about it nobody before him is really overstayed. They’re welcome because of money.
