Can you imagine the stories he has off camera from the Bama days?

The funny or not so funny is that when he dropped us after a month after coming back to go to Bama to go get that education and polishing to be excellent ALOT OF PEOPLE HERE turned their backs on him.

I didn't like it. It put a bad taste in my mouth. But I can say with 100% honesty i never said **** or felt such a way to be upset about a man finding the best path for his life. I didn't think that it would come to our benefit for years to come like it has. But im grateful for that temporary pain for the greater good of the program

Either that or he realized after being on goldens staff for two weeks, how much of a clown show was being run here that he couldn’t be apart of

Correct me if I’m wrong, but wasn’t the real problem w/ Mario leaving Golden’s staff to join Saban’s was him negatively recruiting against us, turning guys who had real interest in us, off? If I’m not mistaken, both he & Rumph were considered former players as enemy #1 b/c of both either negativity recruiting the home team or advising their players not to come here.

You had both of these elements if I recall correctly- and wow it’s been a long time on this board for me - and more for you, if we can talk about the days when Mario was at FIU and joined the staff.

I remember some people hated on him for dumping UM for Bama after a few weeks. I think I was supportive of him as he was taking a better opportunity at the time. Like I recall feeling that he saw inside the golden program and said no thanks. Lol. Also didn’t golden witness Mario in the enforcer role on a high school visit???

And then yes, I believe there was talk of him negative recruiting us.

I thought of it as a negative shift for us in recruiting. Added towards my resentment toward bama at the time. In hindsight, it’s possible Mario felt like he could not hand -to -heart look these kids and their parents in the eyes and tell them that this was the best place for them to develop and earn big time money in the NFL like it was when he played here. For all we know he’s always intended to come back one day, but again, looking back … our program really did not have anywhere near the kind of infrastructure or financial commitment towards facilities etc as teams like bama at the time. Now it is a much different story.

Mario can now whole heartedly sit down with recruits and tell them lthat Miami is once again the place to be, and I think he is just as happy as any of us to be able to not just say it but truly mean it.

You're not the only one who felt a certain way bout him leaving! I was loving the idea of Mario, coley as our recruiting monsters!
 
Im glad America is finally starting to see what I saw out of Cam for last two years, a dog!! True alpha. There’s a reason I compared his mental to Berlin multiple times in offseason. It’s no mistake that he just happened to have largest comeback since? You guessed it…. BERLIN.

It's a shame because the second half of UF game was exactly the offense sets Coker and Chud should have ran. But alas it was not to be. As bad as it was at Virginia Tech, the Tennessee game was abysmal. We had no business running those sets. It was coaching malpractice.
