Not sure what you want Mario to say. He acknowledges the issues. He's not going to publicly castrate GAttis or any coach, to make the fan base feel better
"You know Joe, I really dropped the ball when I hired that Josh Gattis fella. Boy does he suck. On top of that I brought in Ponce to coach the QB's and it's like Jon Richt 2.0. I must have been a little too hopped up on Cafecito to mistake those bums for actual coaches. Talk about buyers remorse. Speaking of that, what the **** was I thinking to leave Oregon for this talentless wasteland of a football program. **** my backups at Oregon look like AA against these scrubs.. and I'm out there running walk ons who couldn't hack it at UAB in critical situations. ****, Joe, just put a bullet in me now."
 
Regardless of whether or not a player is of caliber to compete at the level you want them to be at, you’re never going to come out and say that publicly. That’s just a bad look on you as a professional. And people see that. Mario, behind closed doors, can tell anyone that they aren’t playing at the level he expects of them. But it’s a whole different world when you start calling people out publicly. Players and other coaches see that and think “why would I ever want to play/coach for that guy?”
You see coaches point out bad play all of the time. During half time interviews, after games, and other times. This is a tough sport and you need to be tough to play it. If hearing you are not up to par hurts your feelings you most likely are not cut out for championship football. Maybe that is the whole culture thing we speak of now.

Although we like to coddle people the real world is not so nice. Yes, things are much more soft these days, but the result is a soft team with players that care about social media more than the pain of losing and the burning desire to be the best.

I am sure it is a parity but well said
 
I didn't get the vibe at all. Especially when he said about talent and stuff you look at it in the off-season. I know we as fans view the season as over but reality is we have 3 more weeks. Changes will definitely come but it won't be right now. And everyone needs to remember Alonzo is watching all of this. He's imput will be big this off-season
Who is Alonzo supposed to be? Lol y’all kill me with this guy
 
people change with age
im just saying so far hes been here and hasnt done anything we know of that suggests he has any significant imput
im just pointing out facts thus far
You have no idea what he has or hasn't done or said. His position is a behind the scenes position so it is likely that unless you are inside the program, nobody will have a clue about anything he does.
 
Bingo! He is BEGGING in this current downfall for people to believe in him. But all he does is make it worse when what is being stated by him and his staff is that is more on the players.

Steele is the only coach I have heard that at least made it somewhat feel at times it was on him. Mario and Gattis have not showed me that at all.
He literally said we have to coach better and it all starts with him.
 
I really want mario to succeed here but with every interview and every game he looks more and more like a golden clone.

Golden had less talent when he arrived and he would curb stomp marios team.


If he doesn't get rid of at least gattis im done with Mario. He needs to cut gattis and steele.

What do you want him to say? Yeah, it’s coachspeak. Proof will be in the pudding down the line. Season is lost. Hopefully they can close well recruiting selling PT. See if they get better next year. It’s obviously alarming that he’s been so strategically out of touch with what could work with this group but maybe this is the tear down we needed.
I don't think any of us, including me, realized what the tear down really needed to look like.
 
There is no excuse for the team to look this bad this season. We played better against Alabama who went to the national championship last year then we did a 4-3 FSU team with a lot of the same players outside of Rambo, Harley and Zion
 
What's he supposed to say? That he doesn't have the horse and he inherited a soft-as-Charmin team from Manny, that isn't responding? That they're more focused on recruiting and selling the next generation of the right kids on a new-look Miami because the present is a complete abortion?

He can't say that, so you get coach-speak—which is why I don't get why anyone bothers listening to theses meaningless Joe Rose interviews looking for anything of stubstance.

And the "highest paid" staff staff stuff is silly. That's akin to saying the Yankees should win every year because they have the highest-paid salary and then you see scrappy teams with chemistry going far in the postseason, like Philadelphia. This staff doesn't have the right players, doesn't have chemistry with their players and doesn't have chemistry with each other. Lots of bad fits all around.

Mario has a lot to do this off-season. I used to be a "get a bowl game for the extra practices" guy, but realistically Miami is better off missing a bowl, sending some coaches and players packing. getting back to recruiting and robbing the portal blind for 2023. No benefit of some fourth-tier bowl game if this team got to 6-6 and eked in.

Put this thing out of its collective misery.

I think you may be right on the bowl… instead of helping, the practices may distract getting into the portal and hiring better assistants

In my opinion, he’s doubling down on his “tough guy” philosophy.

He envisions us being the Tennessee Titans, a team that can ball control you to death, and punch you in the mouth on defense.

It’s almost as if he’s allergic to good QB play. Everyone last season was really hyped about our QB room, and TVD lit defenses up last season. Most on here thought Jake was next in line, and that Jacurri was going to be a future star.

Enter Mario. Now our QB’s all look like they’ve never thrown a forward pass before or played organized football against an opposing defense. Some of you are failing to connect the dots.

We have had tons of injuries, but he’s the one that brought his guy over from Oregon, where major injuries were prevalent the last 2 years that he was there.

He said they couldn’t “stop the counter.” It’s tough to stop the counter when a simple adjustment is not made. Coach Hayes on his show broke down film of the game and showed what should have been done to adjust. It’s telling that Coach Hayes knows this, but our HC and 12 million dollar staph doesn’t.

I agree that there’s mental errors everywhere on the team, but that’s what happens when you try to fit a square into a circle. Funny how lots of other first year and first time HC at big time programs aren’t having these issues. 🤔

In my opinion he should have said that the entire program is being assessed (players, coaches, analysts, schemes, etc.), and that the necessary steps will be taken to ensure that this doesn’t happen again. That way he’s keepin’ it real and not throwing anyone under the bus.

The reality is that he asked for full autonomy over the program before he agreed to coach here, and he’s responsible for all of the hires and style of play. He needs to own up to that.

I think this was probably the most alarming thing for me throughout the season. Game 1, he lit into the defense after KK's "penalty", which is something we saw a fair amount of at Oregon. Seems like he's figured out that that won't work with this current group. You can see him walking around the sidelines these past few games trying to figure out how to channel all of the anger he wants to take out on the team but can't.
