It’s pretty widely known that Mario left Al Golden’s team shortly after an incident at a HS football game in West Palm. Long story short Mario at the end of the game went on the field to speak with a coach about a recruit, or maybe it was to speak to the recruit. I’m not 100% sure what the school was but I believe it was traditionally a school that pushed kids elsewhere. The HEad Coach was the one facilitating the meetings on the field and allowed another schools Coach (Auburn/TRob) jump Mario in line to meet the kid. Mario, knowing the high school coach and recruiting the area at FIU, and being the local team ( Hurricanes) felt disrespected and went off on all parties. The High School coach called Golden and James (this is why James dislikes Mario) and Golden and James both went off on Mario. Mario said **** this and went to Bama.
Up until recently I didn’t know what other Coach it was but it’s been mentioned on some podcast the coach is now a current UM coach, and TRob is the one that fits the bill.
No idea what the relationship with Mario and TRob is now but I know that was a sore spot. I think Mario was more ****ed at Golden, James and HC Coach. The HC could have been Jack Daniels from Dwyer I think.
