Had a lyft chat with a former 49ers coach who was down here interviewing for a job with the Fins. Most of the conversation revolved around the Dolphins, but he dropped a couple of tidbits on UM and Mario. Nothing earth shattering, but ...
--Mario is held in EXTREMELY high regard by NFL coaches and scouts.
--Unfortunately, not high enough for my Fins as he confirmed that Mario **** near begged the Dolphins to draft Herbert (smh).
--In his opinion, Gattis was a top 3 hire in all of College Football. He spoke highly of our OC and said Harbaugh absolutely held him back.
--Denzel Perryman was the best instinctual football player he ever attempted to recruit outside of Nick Bosa.
--Was on Redwine early, but said he was all UM from Day 1 even before we were really recruiting him hard.
--Confirmed that Al Golden was a clown. An "awkward douchebag" were his exact words. He was shocked he took the Miami job to begin with as he is as far away from a cultural fit as you can get. He opined that Golden planned to come here, elevate his profile, and win enough to walk right into the Penn State job. The Shapiro stuff threw a bit of a wrench into those plans.
--Estimated we were 3 seasons away from a NC with Mario.
And for my long suffering Fins fans --
--McDaniel is the goods. The Deebo Samuel packages were his brainchild.
--Of course when I brought up that the 49ers offense is ***, he correctly pointed out it's designed for efficiency. He said the Qb is going to take alot of hits in this scheme and that if Tua (likely) goes down, the backup Qb, whether it's Teddy or a 3rd stringer, can slide right in without missing a beat.
--Waddle and Hill will eat.
--He was higher on the squad than I was (and I'm a season ticket holder).
