you sure? we gave a 10 year deal to a miami guy w no other interviews conducted. sounds like the same decisions as the previous adults.

the same coach that is now hired lied to everyone when he said he'd run a system that fits the talent and not forcing his style down their throats.

I think you’re being harsh about the lying part. Did he f*ck up his coordinator hires? Oh yeah, no one should be denying that. Gattis was a monumental failure, worse than Enos.

But it wasn’t Mario that promised speed in space - that’s all Gattis. He got duped just the like rest of us. Doesn’t help that half the roster quit midseason.

Good thing is he has a chance here to completely wipe the slate clean with a proper hire. If he goes another ground and pound bro style OC, that’ll be all I need to see to know that we’re f^cked. But if he lets his OC do his thing and goes out and gets a Dan Mullen or Herman or someone with sustained success calling plays and experience leading talented/potent offenses, then conversely we’ll know he’s willing to put pride aside for the sake of this program.

You don’t have to worry about stacking talent under Mario because this class is already a shock given how ah!t we look on the field. Hopefully he learned from this year, and we’ll find out very soon enough.

I love that you fell into this trap. Mr. "just stick to football" hasn't talked football in three pages. Funny how quickly that mindset changed.

I guess that what happens when someone interjects themselves into a conversation and starts talking about insults and how avatars are sacred. Plus, pointing out your hypocrisy is quite satisfying…

Why won’t you answer my questions? I was hoping to get to know the real jagr…

I agree about the talent part and I agree that he has a clean slate. the question is will Mario land the better OCs given his offensive reputation? well see.

also, wait and see on Mario scaling back control esp when it was rumored that he wouldn't allow candle to bring his guys in

I think that was a miscalculated error on his part. Ponce was brought in before the OC, and so was Field. Ponce won’t be coming back, and there’s rumors Field might be asked to serve in an off-field role like he did at Oregon in the event that the new OC wants all his guys.

We should have known the lack of continuity amongst staff members would be an issue. We looked at names and salaries instead of cohesion and familiarity. By firing Ponce, that shows me

1. He’s willing to fire his friends
2. He’s willing to admit mistakes immediately

Now like you said - whether he revamps his offensive approach and goes with someone like Candle (or at least a faster offense that utilizes tempo and creative routes/playcalling), that part is still up in the air. Only Mario knows who he wants to hire, but I’d lean on the side that he’s ready to give the new OC total control.

Saban hires new coordinators and staff almost every year, but the recruiting is in place at Alabama and the volume of talent overcomes 'issues of continuity among staff'. I think the 'staff meshing' is a bit oversold but we don't have the wealth of talent and culture in place to overcome stuff like that.

You cannot wait on Gattis. Every program is going to negative recruit that guy.

I'm not suggesting that Gattis be retained or fired. I'm just pointing out the lack of continuity in the way in which Mario hired his coaches.

Perhaps it would be best to let the coordinators chose their staff.
