JJ fired a chunk of his staff after his first year 8-5 at Miami. He hire GS. Howard, GS, D Erickson, were the equal ale to of todays spread high flying super aggressive offensive attacks…years before anyone did those things. In the early 00’s success was based on explosive attacking offense.
No FL school has ever successfully implemented a “Pound it” style of play. FSU, UF, Miami, UCF all failed every time. The ONLY SUCCESS these schools have had was when they were wide open.
Mario NEVER played on physical teams. His OL sucked and Gino was getting crushed while completing TD’s in DE’s attacking passing offense.
Food for thought.
