Oregon Extension on the Table for Mario

[ristwasdown]

Got to think Mario and his camp know this may be one of his last chances to come home.

Theyve tried 3 times in the past.

If we want to be a big-time program, you need to pay whoever market rate salaries. Plus, this will send a message that amateur hour at the Hecht is over and we're serious about winning.

Huh? I thought that report said OREGON not Miami, referring to a extension.

I just mean none of this is new information, we were always going after mario.

if you're going to wait all week to not release it to the public (talking about reporters too) then why do it right before kickoff?

either do it a week or go or wait until after the game, idk just my opinion

I’ve always said money was never the end all. He wants this ran like a big boy program. The deal was selling him that they were.

Do you think we really are?

 

[Insanecane]

You know that us matching means he gets more money, right?

I know but with a coach it is all about ego. Oregon offers 8 we should offer 9 etc. Even if he saves himself $$ with 0 Florida State inc. tax.

Either way Mario wins. 10mm without ever winning a ship!

Didn't ND just do the same?

Well they might have ****ed up. ND also spends money on football though.

The oldtimers would like this post and song from the late great Jackie Gleason from the Honeymooners which I used to watch in Black and White TV on WKOR, Channel 9, in New York City.

I'm concerned with how much we will pay his staff if we pay 10 mil a year for him. I do not want another situation like we had with Richt. I loved Richt, but his staff was cheap.

 

[Trav]

the administration backed themselves into this corner

they are going to overpay for Mario - who I'm not 100% sold on because of their statement about reinvesting in the football program

or

they are going to be beat out and look like a complete incompetent bunch and we won't contend for another big name coach for a decade plus

I'm rather baffled by this idea we now should go on the cheap. Whether he's your 1st choice or not Mario is a top tier coach and the market right now is in the ballpark of 10M/yr. So if we want a big name that's what we gotta spend. Lane ain't coming significantly cheaper, if cheaper at all.

Show momma the Gables by the sea house new car every 6 months oh and unlimited credit card loaded with Mario’s 54’ Striker yacht tied up .

All as incidentals included

DONE

striker? who the **** has a striker? maybe Viking or Paul Mann or Bayliss

 

[Damiencane86]

This amount bothered me to be honest as i think the new contracts are insane (none of these guys deserve that much), but 8-8.5 would actually be a pretty good deal imo as i think the new market will be even crazier going forward and this will lock the rate in for at least a few years.

If we can afford 8 mill for him plus properly earmarked funds for his staff, recruiting department, and S&C/nutrition its hard to see him nor coming home.

I don't think Mario would agree to this job if money was a concern. Let's use common sense here...Cribby has been preaching that Mario would only listen if we were going to take everything seriously. Oregon news leaks out today that they're aggressively working on a contract extension...that's because they know we're not f'ing around anymore, and panicking.

Stay positive boys, we got this.

 

[Bunker Mentality]

I don't think Mario's decision is gonna come down to a few bucks. It's gonna be whether he feels he has the support from uptop and autonomy.

It's gonna come down to Frenk giving him the keys to the Kingdom; and realizing our mediocre football program brought more heat and media attention to his doorstep than anything he's accomplished at Miami should tell him everything he needs to know about being President at The []__[].

I'm sure he "gets it" now.

 

[g8rh8rMD]

Phil Knight ain't going down without a fight eh?

Match it and we don't have to worry about anything.

Lane >>>> Chinstrap bro Criscoball

I think each could be successful in certain situations.

I think cristobal is the better fit here for what we need.

we need a Richt @ UGA type of coach to make us very relevant and "in the hunt" each and every year long term to build the brand back, mario is that guy

 

[Trav]

I hope this isn’t another dang Jason Marshall where we had him in the bag until news spilled out.

Good thing he isn't a flighty 17 year old recruit I guess.

 

[ThomasM]

Just had a thought. What if Mario was never really the guy we wanted, but we acted like it in order to get a former alum a massive pay raise, all while distracting people from our real target?

Nah, we're not that smart.

 

[BigWindyCane1]

The fact that this offer was leaked and hasn’t yet been accepted is all I need to know to confirm that Mario is still in play
