Our Next Head Coach…

…has turned Arizona around.

If our BoT refuses to hire Kiffin, or Patterson, or Mullen, or Gundy, then our only hope is that they hire Jedd Fisch.

But knowing our BoT, they’ll hire another abject disaster of a head coach.

Hopefully Jedd is still available in the year 2027 when we finally buy Wario out.

If we go by history they'll hire Lance Guidry and that will actually have support by our fans cause they love the hot DC but some of us know how that will end.......6-6

I'm hoping MC turns it around next year, but if not, we could do far worse than bring Fisch back.

I don't see it. I expect a 7-5 or 8-4 team next year. The talent level is actually worst with the guys taking over the spots of the guys who are leaving. Our best bet is when the class of 2023 and 24 hit upperclassmen and my hope Mario keeps stacking classes after them. 2025 I expect to see a jump but then again whose our QB in 2025? I got some concerns about Mario's future here

I thought it was funny that someone criticized the timeout before 4th and 2, and said Cristobal's going to regret wasting a TO there. He still finished the game with two timeouts!

Craziest thing is we got a miracle onside recovery and still could have won despite it being an atrocious game in all 3 phases. If the roles are reversed, zero doubt the opponent drives down the field and scores. I fully expected UM to blow that opportunity somehow, and Cristobal didn't disappoint.

We recovered the onside kick at what midfield and had 25 seconds with two timeouts? I agree with your post but that situation isn't exactly a gimme. That being said the execution in that situation was laughable. We moved a total of 9.9 yards in that last gasp drive and had 2 timeouts remaining when time expired. The fact that after recovering that kick and having all the momentum we actually managed to give Rutgers the ball back is the perfect example of what a circus this operation is. If the roles are reversed, we go into a super prevent and allow 25 yards a pop and likely give up a touchdown. Our offense in the same situation can't even get ten yards LMAO. None of our plays went anywhere close to down field and they were all outside the hashes with two timeouts left. I have no words to articulate what a total buffoon we have as a head coach. It literally defies logic.

Just look at the game plans and game day coaching/management. Look at the 2 minute drills all season. The guy actually had two timeouts left over at the end of a one score game that we lost. Think about that. Think about the absolutely moribund running game. Think about the fact that when he gets a lead he completely shuts everything down and goes into a prevent 4 corners type shell. Think about how it's the same thing over and over and over again.

A very astute poster said that all the top 3 recruiting classes in the world will not fix what it is that ails us because it isn't necessarily a talent issue. It's a scheme/formation issue and he is right on point with that observation. Sure the infusion of elite talent will help but it won't eliminate the issue. Mario is an elite recruiter and infrastructure builder but that is where his value to a program ends. When it comes to game planning and game day coaching he is literally one of the worst that I have ever seen. Two years into his regime and we still can't run a competent 2 minute drill. 25 years in coaching and he still can't manage the clock or use timeouts. He must hire an OC with head coaching experience and get the heck out of the way. At the very least he needs to have a game day assistant who is always next to him advising him on what to do and why.


Outside of his strengths in recruiting/program building, he is an unmitigated disaster and a tremendous liability on game day. He literally has zero feel for the game and he has a disturbing inability to rationally conceptualize the game in a strategic manner. It's almost as if his brain can't process or comprehend the game in a manner that is anywhere close to the reality that is transpiring right in front of him. It's almost as if his brain is stuck in a type of theoretical fantasy mode that he can't snap out of.

That’s scary.

You hit the nail right on the head.

That Rutgers running back and their OL looked hungry and smashed us up front. Our OL looked weak and disinterested

As I’ve stated many times before, a team usually takes on the personality of its head coach. Mario looks like a deer caught in headlights on most game days, and his team follows suit.

Regarding the O-Line, I know people have touched on it all night, but I couldn’t believe how small Lou Cristobal looked. It felt like I was watching an episode of “The Hobbit.” I mean, the dude plays hard I’ll give him that, but holy cow…
