Mario took over Oregon in 2018.
According to F+ analytics, these are the number of games in which Oregon’s offense received a NEGATIVE value generated rating under Mario:
2018 (with Justin Herbert at QB): 6 games including 2 games with negative value scores over 20, which is insane.
2019 (Herbert): 5 games
2020: 3 games (COVID meant only 7 games that year)
2021: 5 games (when the roster was stacked with Mario recruits)
2022: 8 games
2023: 5 games (counting NC St and we still have plenty to go).
Basically, almost half the games Mario coaches every year generates negative offensive value.
Does Dawson suck? Yes. I called him the “Destroyer of Offenses” in the coaching search thread for a reason. Does TVD suck? Yes.
But those two haven’t been the OC-QB combo the entire time.
Mario is the only common denominator.
Stop listening to anybody that tells you Mario doesn’t interfere in the offense. Or Mario doesn’t have a preferred style. Or that what Mario has done is what the big boys do and this is the offense that UGA and champions run.
There is no QB that is going to save us from this. There is no recruiting class that is going to save us from this. There is no OC that is going to save us from this.
Life under Mario will be a minimum of at least 5 games a year where the offense will produce a negative value. We will flip a coin as to whether we win those games. And that’s how you lose 2 to 5 games a year, depending on how the coin falls.
