Not sure if you intended to reply to me but I believe I’m saying almost exactly the same thing you’re saying. Mario was the best guy to get us on track with the overall list of items on PIPO’s list. We were way behind when he started and were making up ground. I believe this will lead to more winning that is sustainable. But clearly Mario also has some things to clean up. I’m not sure what you’re disagreeing with me about.
Wasn't intended towards you. Sorry about that. Hectic morning.
I don’t think I disagree with any of this. Mario is not a coaching savant. His coordinator hires are very important and he’s 1/4 so far in terms of hiring guys that are creative, smart, and adaptive. But for the moment (1) this is less important to me than the progress he’s making on the other areas of the good list you made in this thread and (2) I’m hopeful the results will follow in another year or two with that good progress and some adjustments by Mario.Louisville -
Not saying that we didn’t have a bigger hot mess than they did but here is an article of the 22 transfers they took in (look at the names as they have made huge impact).
Mario has brought in some really good transfers and some others that have busted. It happens at every program.
Where we are this year is where we should’ve been last year. We should’ve been 7-5/7-6 last year and this year 8-4/8-5. That’s visible positive trajectory (I know we have made up in other areas not reflected by the record).
The biggest difference is the failures in coaching to me. I am not even talking Mario here in game day but I am talking about him in his coordinator hires especially on offense.
You have to have the offense scoring points and scheming people open. You don’t have to be a 4/5 star at every position. Proof - look at what Brohm did to us and how he schemed the offense to help his players increases their chances of success. How he fixed his QB room (most important position on the field).
Can’t expect Guidry and the defense to always hold up. Louisville scored 38.
Well, have a ******* offense to scheme up **** and score 40 points. How are you going to only score 6 points vs NC State, injured QB or not? You still had chances to win that game if the OC schemes up something good and doesn’t ignore his play makers the whole ******* game. Just running. The same concept over and over and hoping it works.
How Louisville football flipped its roster through the transfer portal
Jeff Brohm has dominated the transfer portal since being hired as the head coach of the Louisville football program. We break it all down.stateoflouisville.com
The only difference between us having 10 win seasons and not is going to be qb play. If you have great QB play. Ultimately if your qb is playing great you win - whether y’all wanna trash bro - style or be a completely air raid offense, with Great QB play you win, period. No maybe you’d say we wouldn’t win EVERY game or we wouldn’t be dominant or win a national championship or whatever, but consistent 10 wins? Absolutely.

I think thats a much better way of looking at it.
What a pathetic fan base. The game was over. Miami led 17-14 and UNC proceeded to drop 24 unanswered in the 3rd and 4th qtrs. Canes scored a late TD with 2 minutes left making it 41-31! UNC had backups in that point and it was game, set, and F’ing match.
Who the **** is that scrub that didn’t even play in the game disrespecting a head coach like that?
That's the crazy part though. We don't even need (with supposed bro ball this season) GREAT QB play. We just need our QB not to turn the ball over right and left. We simply need a accurate QB who has the arm to stretch the field. Even this season if we cut the turn overs in half we have atleast two more wins right now. Look how many turn overs we had in the red zone. Not many of them were from fumbles. It was picks. Eliminate that and we're Gucci. I get that people see me arguing for Mario and assume I'm all for everything exactly how we're doing it. I'm not. I'd love to see us chunking the ball all around the field & for people to perceive us as the most exciting TEAM in the country. But you gotta be able to adapt to what you got. Just like we all want Mario to. Myself no concerns.
I might
I’m not moping but let’s keep it buck. Ofcourse we improved lol there was no other option but to improve after last seasons disaster. Being honest this year results was expected last year and fans were expecting an improvement up from that. Improvement yes but great improvement is up for debate
No. Richt is a Hall of Fame coach, deservedly so. It’s hard to say what he would be doing here if not for his illness. Obviously he made the IPF happen, but who knows if he would’ve had the ambition at that point to push to get the football facility built and revamp things like S&C and nutrition while recruiting in the NIL era. But if you’re just picking a guy to prepare a team and play a game, it’s Richt and not a close call. How is this relevant?
