Telling Gattis quotes from Feldman article on Michigan

[Alex Del Piero]

Not true. Josh Pate said he had numerous people reach out saying it was a bad hire and would not end well. He said either Gattis is a d-bag or it was a random coincidence so many people did not care for him

Not true. That happened after the first games in which Miami offense stinked.

I was talking about the exact moment of the hire.

even arm chair dudes can see this is a full mutiny...guys who actually played know for sure.
these kids been playing all their lives...they know how to score TDs ffs
this reeks of egotism, bad management, infighting, even emotional immaturity all on the part of the coaching staff.

interesting article, Gattis had no input on staff as CMC, had made all hires ,to me thats a bad hire by CMC . new OC should bring in his own guys
so there all on the same page........ also it appears CMC is a micro manager and wants to much control.
CMC needs to be a CEO, ( recruit & rebuild culture) hire an excellent OC and let him fill staff with his guys........
gattis was /is a bad hire but a scapegoat.... one of many as CMC had his dream staff that he assembled

I’ve been saying this for a month, and some posters have gotten butt hurt over it.

Mario is a micro-manager of all things. Hence why he asked for total and absolute control over the entire program before he agreed to come to Miami.

I’ve said it til I’m blue in the face, Mario is a great evaluator of talent and a phenomenal recruiter, but that’s where it ends. He should have hired a modern day genius as OC and another one as DC, let them bring in their own dudes, and got the fugg out the way.

He can still do so and succeed. But he needs to accept his failures first, pick himself up, and then do what must be done.

It’s definitely a MAJOR red flag that he knew of Gattis’s propensity for recruits mothers and about the dysfunction at Michigan, and he still hired him.

As @Liberty City El stated, Gattis was never a fit here, and this was obvious to most of us that asked questions during the off-season regarding the type of offense that he would run.

We were repeatedly lied to and told that he would run a wide open offense that would be balanced. That nobody should be concerned about his Wing-T influenced offense. People were ridiculed for being extremely concerned, so in hindsight, I don’t know why anyone is shocked with the horrendous results.

Gattis is total trash...

Kudos to you on this one. You have been saying this long before things went to **** and you were consistent in your message since before the season even began. Great call my friend! IIRC, you also called out Addae as being another fraud and that is also looking to be accurate.

I'm curious what you thoughts are on Ponce. I know you don't care much for Steele but are there any other coaches on staff who you think are a liability? Once again, great great call on Gattis.

Maybe a BJ.


…or ZJ.

If you dont know what it is then you can't afford it

Moorhead is a very good OC. That’s based on undeniable facts, not hyperbole.

Moorhead would not be a good fit at Miami, though. Not now and likely not in the future.

 

[KingB02]

2 months of interviews and didn’t get the background on why he wanted to leave a playoff team..

Lol they did what we as fans are doing and put lipstick on a pig and our coaches fell for it. Hopefully someone else falls for it this year and we can get this bih ahs nikka Shattis out of here. But I wonder.. if Shattis wanted to run more spread from jump and Wario and his buddies said naw & this caused the issues and Shattis is the fall guy. Wario loves running power offenses.

Mario was off on evaluating the talent and coachable players he had on this 2022 football team—and their inability to play the brand of football he's looking to build.

Gattis proved that with the horses in Michigan, his offense works. Hence the 12-2 season and CFP appearance against Georgia—all of which earned him the Broyles Award honor.

The blind spot was regarding Manny Diaz's soft team and the inability for these lazy, entitled kids to buy in and play a tougher brand of football—all parties involved failing regarding learning on the fly and finding a way out of this hot mess this season.

Gattis wasn't Cristobal's first choice and they obviously were in lockstep with the brand of football they both want to run; there was just a swing and a miss personnel-wise.

Safe bet that based on what they evaluated and wanted to implement they expected:


Bethune-Cookman — W
Southern Miss — W
Texas A&M — Toss Up
Middle Tennessee State —W
North Carolina — Toss Up
Virginia Tech — W
Duke — W
Virginia — W
Florida State — Toss Up
Georgia Tech — W
Clemson — L
Pitt — W

Somewhere around 8-4 and 9-3 was probably the belief—with an, if-all-goes-to-plan, a 10-2 run.

Then they looked under the hood and saw what they were dealing with and said, "Oh sh*t".

Once Miami lost to Middle Tennessee State, this thing was over. There's no coming back from a game like that. If kids were on the fence about believing at 2-1, losing to a glorified high school from Murfreesboro, Tennessee was the final nail in the coffin of this season, with this roster.

Shattis, sit yo ahss down!!

Not sure on Ponce....and to be perfectly honest, none of them really stand out.

Cribby, we both are in agreement that Gattis is gone. It has to make it way easier since he was never one of the top 5 options Mario was hoping for, and it seems Mario clearly settled

I’m pretty certain the Gattis hire was made based on:

Moorehead tree/connection
Gattis working at Bama around same time as Mario
Name recognition from Michigan/Broyles award even though none of it was deserved
None of which was based on review of his actually game plans or what his offenses put on film

By all accounts, the names leaked prior to the Gattis hire were more spread leaning than pro style

Call me crazy but I think Mario knows what kind of system would best fit Miami and not some idealistic run heavy dream that is multiple recruiting cycles away.

I’m betting that seeing what Tenn has done AAAAAAND now having Alonzo Highsmith in place to help find an OC (Zo hired in May 2022) will get us the guy we really need

The problem is he learned from Saban and is trying to copy him. When does Saban hire an OC/DC and let them pick their staff? Saban micromanages everything and has made it work. We’ll see if Mario adjusts, but he’s just pulling **** out of the Saban playbook.

The key here will CMC learn from his failures, will he accept counsel from Alonzo & Radokovich ? heck Saban changed his offensive philosophy . B.Kelly wen he was at ND reevaluated himself and changed his approach to fit the times
CMC works great as a CEO of program ( culture & talent evals which to me means does the guy fit your culture??) look no further than Dan Lanning at Oregon excellent DC at UGA, hires Dillingham from FSU and turns the keys over to him and B.Nix is now a Heisman candidate . we both know we have had failures by HC's to change Golden and D'nofrio.....
the world could be CMC's oyster as this is first time we have invested inn program.......if he does not change but gets his players in place there id definitely a ceiling to what he can achieve at Miami

 

[Ironmanfootball]

I think he got butthurt because he wanted Michigan to give him a raise to match the Miami offer and when they didn't he got butthurt and left. As with most things it all comes back to money.

Cash and Creative. If he wasn't getting the cash he wanted, and he wasn't getting the creative freedom... why stay?

Please tell me who the seasoned vet of an OC Gattis was going to bring with him? Michigan had to hire someone to help him and it's now obvious the added help is what propelled him to the Broyles Award. He could have brought someone with him in as analyst the same way Lashlee did but as far as I know he didn't.

Anybody with the same name as a famous video game character feeling the same way?

DJ Romberg and BMonroe alluding to Gattis being gone as well

Cribby keeps bringing the intel

 

[305_separatist]

Pretty clear cut that Gattis is a terrible manager, probably stemming from the ego he has making nearly $2 mil a year and the insecurity from subconsciously knowing he stumbled into that.

Gattis was also ****ed when Harbaugh flirted with the Vikings and Michigan told him he'd never be head coach there.

Hopefully Zo will have a much bigger role with the next hire to challenge Mario's perceptions. I mean, Mario talks about emulating Saban and even he adjusted to a modern offense. Hopefully he won't be so stubborn like Richt.
