If I was him, that’s exactly what I would do.
As PA resident, I'm ****ed my tax dollars are going toward this. I hope the Penn State fans are crying. They deserve nothing.
Just a guess but they probably have been working the back channels since the rumors of Franklin leaving and they didn’t like the feed back they received back from coaches like Fickell.
Thing is, I have friends who went there and they aren't that obnoxious.
I’m doing my best to bring out the negativity of my friends from that fan base.
Bottomless state pockets.
I’m basically saying, he’s worth the money for Miami because Miami doesn’t really know how to win, but not worth it for Oregon because they have a structure that can create a winning program without him.
Not going to completely disagree with you. I believe in Mario a lot more than you but obviously valid points, brother.
The university has created this rock & a hard place scenario due to their apathy toward football & sports in general from lack of infrastructure & foundation to the types of coaches they hired.
The chips have to be pushed in, unfortunately. It’s black or red.
My money is in black (Mario).
If Miami has truly done the legwork on Mario and other viable candidates and decided that he is clearly #1 I would still disagree but at least you can applaud the process and say "hope it works out". But this smells. Like Miami is looking for a fairytale. One of their own made good to save the program.
. All those years of being cheap and holding this thing together with duck tape is now going to cost them A LOT to change course. I see a lot of, let’s call them B companies who continue to hire B and C players at all levels. Then when they get pressure by the Board or the VC firms that have a stake to raise their game, they find themselves way overpaying for talent cause that is the only way you are getting an A player to a B company.
