He isn't even in the running except from those that are delusional. Way too many coaches out there that trump him that see the positives of taking this gig, this time around.
That's ok...the idiots backing Cristobal are only exposing themselves as SEC slurpers. And as such you know you CAN'T trust them because they have an agenda that's not in step with ours. I'm shocked at how many there are out there.
Mario is not my first choice, but there are some good reasons as to why he is in the running. Mario would work IF we spend on coordinators.
This is from Ariz a couple of weeks back:
**Sources close to Cristobal indicate that he already has an idea of who he would include on his staff. James Coley would be retained most likely. Bama DB Coach Mel Tucker would be a frontrunner to become defensive coordinator. Marshall OL coach Alex Mirabal would replace Kehoe.
So our staff would comprise: A head coach that went 27-47 in the Sun Belt, Noley (presumably returning) as OC where he hasn't shown a shred of innovation, and Mel Tucker, who's last 3 stints as a D-Coordinator were at the NFL level where his defenses finished 30th in the league each time.
That is fcking garbage. Cristobal is trash and he would likely assemble a subpar coaching staff.
He has no business sniffing Miami's head coaching shortlist.
