Mario Has Failed This Program

Advertisement
Mario went big name hunting for coaches with little thought to cohesion. He also overestimated the ability of a power run offense with our roster. Those mistakes, along with brutal injuries to key players, and you have the disaster of a season we are experiencing.

In a way, this is better than winning a couple more games and convincing yourself that “we are close” and just needed a couple things to bounce our way. I think this is bad enough that you scrap the **** thing to the foundation and really address the deficiencies of every facet of this program.
 
He's been a F- this year... There is a lot of damning evidence for how bad Mario has been but the regression of our offense and OL as well as the sudden success of Oregon's offense has me really concerned for our future.

He has to be as stubborn as a mule or as blind as Stevie wonder to not see the error of his ways by now.

If I were him I'd fire Gattis and switch to Ponce on monday and tell him to run a hurry up spread offense rest of the season and see what happens.

Yes, but what lessons do you draw outside of culture and needing different players? How do you establish a winning culture if you cannot ever won, because your offense is as explosive as an undefined Paul Johnson clinic? What players do you even target when you abhore passing the ball?

Looking back at that OC hiring debacle, and how long it took him to make that hire, one of two things HAS to be true:

- Mario was spurned by his 1st, 2nd, and God knows how many other first choices
- Mario is absolutely horrible at identifying and hiring an offensive staff.

If I remember correctly, he fired his first OC at Oregon and chose not to bring his second OC at Oregon with him to Miami....which is in essence a very gentle second firing.

And we already know his first OC hire here was a disaster.

I think Rada HAS to get involved when Gattis' replacement is selected.

100 pct on Mario. u were just embarrassed by another non-top 25 team At home. Mario is doing a great job w facilities and recruiting but coaching he gets an F. The entire staff. there is not an area that is better than last year. If I was Ruiz, I would look at getting out of every single nil contract. There is not a single guy who deserves 1 dollar more than their scholarship. Both the coaches and the players are stealing money right now.

I hear you, but don’t necessarily agree with the last part. We were slinging it all around with TVD and only reverted once Garcia and now Brown look like they haven’t heard of a completed forward pass that doesn’t result in a turnover. Now, you could definitely argue (and I would agree) that this was a bad offensive scheme to begin with, but this is what we have and I think Mario (from what Cribby and others have said) is going to part ways with Gattis and others after this season. That may not make us feel better, but at least he has seen what DOESN’T work first hand. Maybe I’m too optimistic, but I think Mario would prefer to avoid another year like this at all costs and will do all he can to go in a different direction.
 
If he had any honor, he’d resign. He could have 85 five stars with perfect composite ratings and it would simply make no difference. Give him Georgia’s team, and with his chosen staff they would be barely better than Miami’s current record.
The bar hasn’t 86’d you yet? #kidding

Sadly our next coach will come from the high school ranks. School tried to spend amd blew it all.

How in the world did Mario have success elsewhere??

It became apparent to me weeks ago that there’s a very good chance that he whiffed on a bunch of those OC’s. They weren’t able to “bring their guys” and maybe a number of them didn’t want to be forced to run a regressive offense.
