Oregon Extension on the Table for Mario

[PIPO]

IF he loses tonight we'd paying a coach that lost 6 out of his last 20 games that type of money. Desperation is real.

Again - what is it with this one game narrative that gets thrown around. "If Manny losses one game, he should be fired." "If Manny wins one game, he should stay as coach....." , "If Mario wins or loses one game......".

It's going to cost money regardless of who we get to dig ourselves out of a 20 year hole. I know you aren't debating that. You are debating the candidate. Fair, obviously, but it needs to be blown up and built up properly. That is not Lane, as much as I like him.

We willing to give Mario Mel Tucker money?

Jimbo Fisher $$

we might not have to match phil knight 100%, just be in the ball park. phil knight can't match "coming back home".

all things equal or mostly equally, mario should return.

We can get Kiffin for 50 to 60% of the price. Is Mario really worth this price tag?

Yes. After 18 years of meh production, we can finally hire a young coach who has actually done something as a P5 HC. Also, the potential of Mario staying long-term is there, unlike Lane.

This will not be about money. This is about where Mario wants to coach and raise his family.

Agreed. But dude seems pretty loyal, that has me somewhat questioning the move to Miami. But Cubans are usually very familial and his wife will be in his ear about raising those kids around “their” people soooooo this may be the motivation. Happy wife happy life? I‘m old and single and nowhere near getting married, I‘m slaying and never staying, so you all tell me.

Everyone knew this was coming , they’ve just been waiting on approval.

Miami approval to match or are you talking about Oregon offer?

Phil Knight can't exactly match 'going back home' because of state income tax alone.

 

[Baba Yaga]

I hope it leaks during the game tonight that he's leaving Oregon.

 

[MiamiVice7]

Just off the fact he has two teams bidding for him, neither Oregon or Miami would be dumb enough to low ball him […]

You must be new here LCE!

Ruiz and mas been talking tough. Now it's D-Day. All hands on deck to get the whale.

Yep, Ruiz/Mas brothers and Lemonis been calling the devil for weeks now...now the devil is at our doorstep. Cant talk tough in the media then when its time to put your d*ck on the table you tuck tail and run the other way.

Lets hope you're right. You underestimate Phil knight. He is known as a competitor in business. He ain't gonna let his coach go to an Adidas school so easily...

 

[Katzenboyer]

Oregon will always be able to outbid UM. The questions are whether Miami will get close (it needs to be $8-9M per in my opinion), and whether he wants to come home.

If it's purely about $$, he stays out west.

 

[407cane]

they'll have to offer 10% more than us to be even with income taxes there

not to mention the family and local pull

I'd offer Cristobal $6 mil with the sweetener that Luis Cristobal gets to replace Ed Hudak on the sideline.

ed hudak is irreplaceable. any talk of replacing Hudak is sacrilegious.

Yessir

 

[TpaBayFlyFisher]

Miami will be in the same ball park with their offer 8-9 million.

No Florida state taxes on that amount makes a differance.
