Oregon Extension on the Table for Mario

[407cane]

Mario is not worth 10 million a year, not even close.

people are worth what schools are willing to pay

he's probably not worth 10 million a few weeks ago but Mel tucker getting 95 mil changed the game. because Mel tucker getting 95 million was insanity

Joey Freshwater can't stand "brown water" Mississippi and I think we could get him significantly cheaper. From all accounts he is begging for the job.

You're kidding yourself

IMO, I worry a bit about what’ll happen if things don’t work out the way the big $$ donors expect it to.

Let’s say for a sec that Mario can’t get us above 7-8 wins and we’re in a similar position 4 or 5 years down the road.

Do the donors get soured on having spent big for little-to-no ROI? Does that make them less willing to fork out cash next time around?

You cant worry about 5 years from now. A s*** ton will change then

But for ***** and gigs, it could actually work the other way. Big donors get fed up, want to win, and throw even more money at it. What else do billionaires do with their money? Only so many $25M houses, yachts, etc you can buy. Most billionaires are type A ambitious people, You want to win? cut another check...

One way or another, this is going to be the most ridiculous 5 days in Miami football history

The last 17+ yrs says, "Hold my MFing Beer"....

One thing about getting Mario would be the wonderful overuse of Duck Hunt and Super Mario memes and gifs

 

[AllAboutTheU]

this is very true, as long as the money doesn't run out, i'm fine with overpaying

but if by backing themselves into this corner, overpaying for mario means getting a second tier OC and DC then It's an issue

Yea, but I’m sure that Mario accepting this job is premised on certain things — pool for his staff being one of them.

This is insane. He's not even an elite coach and we are just making it rain.

Don't get me wrong - I am supportive of the hire overall but given the potential power and the money being thrown around, if this doesn't work out, we will probably go back into our shell. By that I mean reverting to our previous type of not spending and general indifference.

Is Cristobal the dude at this crucial inflection point?

Unless you are writing the check, why would you care? Is Tucker worth a 10-year, $95 million deal? How about extending Franklin after being 11-10 the last two years? You want to argue the market is inflated then you are correct.

 

[305wave]

Only school in America where you can fire one Cuban coach just to hire another one. Patria y vida

 

[Tad Footeball]

You think there’s an athletic trainer somewhere in the cristobal family tree? Because, at this point, not having to watch Vinny waddle across the field every time someone has a cramp is addition by subtraction.

Based on some of the things I've heard we'd probably be better off if we just replaced him with a regular trainer from like Planet Fitness that has a CPR certification.

 

[Eric The Midget]

Do you really think that they offer him an extension only because Miami is pushing for him? I bet that offer has been on Cristobal's table for weeks, if not months.

If we wasnt looking they wouldnt be talking extension at all.

I’d see if kingsburry wanted a change of scenery

most seem to think so, including oregon by offering brian kelly and lincoln riley money

This fvxking guy

Save all these tweets. Gonna be fun fcking with these nerds

 

[Eric The Midget]

I just need to know if I need to root FOR or AGAINST Oregon tonight. Or does that even matter in the grand scheme of his decision?

Dont matter. I would prefer he go out with a W.

 

[TheOriginalCane]

Nope.

That's EXACTLY what I thought your source's name is. "Nope".

 

[Gi0logy]

Stop worrying about salary amount. The new standard has been set.

Any new mildly successful coach is going to get good money. A good coach will get big money. And an elite coach will become the next highest paid coach. Rinse and repeat every year.

 

[TheOriginalCane]

Just got clarification from him. He said we are ready to offer 5 yr, 50m. He said Oregon would offer 10 year 110m. So 10m additional I guess.

Miami better get its (collective) a$$ to 7 years and close this deal...

 

[Salt]

I’m sure they’d like nothing better to ink him to the deal and have it announced in the intro to tonights game.

Except it seems a little late for them to throw that out for him just before a big game. Talk about distraction.

This was probably on the table much earlier. The fact Mario hasn’t signed it yet should say something.
