11-1, ACC Champion, 1st round bye.

You see us losing to the Nasty Dancers?

 

Hard to fail with our current state in that room. The real evals of this hire will be who he targets in recruiting.

 

FWIW, there are several coaches on Broncos' staff who worked with Mario, namely Darren Rizzi and Brian Niedermeyer, plus Marwan Maalouf was on UM staff, so perhaps one or more of those coaches played a role in commending Upshaw?

Definitely.

 

And he works his staffs long hours so he’ll be ready for Mario

Seriously, who doesn't work their staff long hours?

 

i know nothing about him but if the resident experts on this board like him, im good.

its also hard to **** up our RB room. speaking of, its wild to me that lyle returned. hopefully hes healthy this year

 

Good hire and good career move to speed up his process to on field coach in the league.

Not all coaches do, mcvay is one that has spoken against it

 

What does that mean? What question did I not answer?

Plainly; you regularly post negative opinions focused towards the staff on the recruiting board without substantiating your statements when asked to do so by other posters. So to seek the same in return is..

 

I’d be shocked if he’s here for more than 2 seasons anyways.

Just in time for Tim Harris to return to coaching RBs after his sojourn to fsu.

I have no idea what you’re talking about. I rarely even post in recruiting outside of the tears threads. And if I missed a question it wasn’t on purpose.

Looks like Mario may have actually recruited him to FIU

Sorry, your point is valid. I was just being a smart-*** playing with the pause button.

 

So this guy was also interviewing for WR jobs?

Is that normal early in somebody's coaching career? And they just follow the path that has the most opportunities?

In case anyone wanted to know

He red shirted for Mario at FIU in the 2012 season. Mario was fired in Dec 2012. He transfered to Georgia Southern and had to sit his 1st season for the transfer I believe. Nothing about this hire excites me, but I will give him a fair chance before I judge him.

 

Can he RECRUIT?

I think Miami is getting close to the point where recruiting sales itself, but we do need more coaches who can recruit and develop

 

I played with Favian at astronaut high.

Good guy, hope he works out here!

He’s got a loaded room, so his transition to his new job should be a lot easier than most.

Former unc qb?
