He might be a stinkin' gator but I don't disagree with the premise and he has a few coaching examples to draw from.
Unless you think Mario is getting on level of Saban, a raise would have been perfectly fine. An extension? Maybe a bit premature.
The recruiting alone disproves this. Coming off of their best seasons Norvell had the 14th ranked incoming class & 21st the following year. Mario had the 7th ranked incoming class & is currently the 2nd ranked class for the following year.
If Mario left us today he'd be leaving found money for the next guy. Norvell would be leaving a dirty jock strap & not much else.
Mario has also shown the willingness to move on from bad hires & actually improve with the next guy. Investing in him long term isn't about next year, good or bad. It's about the total tenure. Give him time & if he falls, he's proven he can get back up. Canes fans are gonna have to learn patience or move on because Mario is not.
Foh!!He might be a stinkin' gator but I don't disagree with the premise and he has a few coaching examples to draw from.

Norvell was not the only example in the article. It happens to good coaches. Even NC caliber coaches. He still has 5 years left on his current contract. By all means give him a fat raise. Could have waited a few more years for that extension imo.

No, you can’t.
Once a Coach makes a CFP and sees his contemporaries making 30-40 with half of his results, you have to step in and close the gap.
This is what got Miami in trouble with Jimmy and Botch. Wait long enough and the issue becomes more about respect than it does $.
