Athletic article ...


Miami led No. 23 Texas A&M 41-33 with 5:02 left in the game. The Aggies had just made the contest a one-score game, and they had two timeouts remaining.

“What’s your mentality right now?” Mario Cristobal asked his new offensive coordinator, Shannon Dawson.

....

What happens over a headset in the heat of a tight game often is much different from what gets kicked around in coaching interviews. Dawson had noted how hands-off his new boss was as Miami battled back from a 10-0 hole to light up an Aggies defense stacked with four- and five-star recruits. Dawson had been at places where he and the head coach liked and respected each other but, when it really mattered, the fit of what each man wanted was just “off.” That’s how it was when he was the offensive coordinator for Mark Stoops at Kentucky.

......

“I don’t think we can run the clock out,” Cristobal said.

“Run the clock out?” Dawson replied. “I’m trying to end this motherf—– right here. If they match up, we’re gonna throw the vertical.”

Cristobal loved what he heard. So did the players when Dawson gathered the offense before they went back on the field. “We gotta go score again,” he told them. “We can’t put all the pressure on the field. We gotta help them out and give them a comfortable lead.”

From that same article:

Miami’s 48-33 win over Texas A&M in Week 2 didn’t just move the Canes into the AP Top 25; it also resonated with top recruits who had been waiting to see whether Cristobal’s program was ready to break through.

“That one game has changed the complexion of our recruiting and how we’re viewed around here,” Dawson told The Athletic.
...
Behind the scenes, the Canes are excited about the reaction from top-ranked recruits who have been keeping an eye on Miami.

“Their jaws just dropped,” Cristobal said. “They’re right on the edge, waiting to see. This was just the beginning. We have a lot of guys committed elsewhere who we’re fixing to flip.”

If it is, apologies - I have posted snippets previously (similar to what you might find on twitter) and the way I looked at it (and I realize this may not be the same way that you need to look at it) is this would encourage people to go to The Athletic (or wherever) to purchase their own sub to read the rest of it. If the guidance is not to paste anything at all from behind a paywall, I will no longer do so.
