This is the secret to success. Either you hire a system guy or hire a recruiter and surround him with quality OC/DC. This is why I believe Cristobal would special down here if the admin was ready to give him real support. Bags aside, I'd put Mario up against anyone in the country.
Notice, all playoff teams have coaches that made the list. That's not a coincidence!
I think Enos' salary this past year is less for Miami due to the payouts he is getting from his previous stops. I may be wrong there but I think I read that somewhere.
It’s been confirmed by multiple sources Enos is getting $1.5mm per year
Also, note that the list posted clearly said total compensation not base salary
Trouble is that is we paid that much Diaz would probably bring in someone he feels comfortable with and has worked with in the past and we know what has happened there.Well no wonder why Clemson is so amazing. They spent 2.2M on their DC and over 2m on their OC.
Just remember, Enos is supposedly (and I actually think this is legit) #10 or so on that list. It's just not published since Miami is private.
Money talks.Well no wonder why Clemson is so amazing. They spent 2.2M on their DC and over 2m on their OC.
And Mario, if I did not love the Canes I would pray he was hired once Manny is fired. It is like us hoping the F$U would hire Deion or O'Dell, or the gator hiring a guy like Charlie Strong. Mario is in a perfect spot for him where mediocre coaches can shine like Chip or Wille. Some though just want a coach that was a 5-5 team away from the playoffs I guess and couldn't win.
Right now, Mario is pretty **** close to landing 2 5-star LB in this class. He came back to SFLA and is about to walk away with an OG that we actually need (Denis). Last year, he landed the #1 recruit in the nation.
By no means an I saying Mario is JJ but, as a HC, hes an extraordinary recruiter. Pair him with quality, successful coordinators, and I think we'd give Clemson a run of their $ in a few years. Clemson uses the same model with Dabo and I think Mario is a superior recruiter than Dabo (who has the benefit of bag$). Plus, Manny is well-liked by most in SFLA. He's not the best gameday coach but if your looking for another Saban/Meyer type to be the next HC, I think UMs pockets are THAT deep!
Whatever else you guys wanna say, please dont excuse our OL recruiting on the grounds denis is a project. We surely didnt replace him with a plug and play option. We just settled for nada.UM's pockets were never deep yet we have 5 MNC's, and really should have a few more. Sure the game has changed, but did you expect Meyer to be what he is thought of today when he left Utah for UF? There are guys out there like Howard, JJ or Butch that could build the program, but we bring in the wrong personality because we don't want anyone who will upset the applecart. Manny is the perfect example of this. Now we have players quitting on their team and being welcomed back with open arms. How will players have any fear of anything with this mentality? But Manny is a company man, so no big deal, and the ACC money is rolling in with donations, so all is well. I don't think Mullen is the greatest, but I like him better than Mario. Why is he not on our sidelines? Because he is not a yes man. Get it? Mario would come down here and be just another coach, and I do not want that in this program. Just shut it down if we have to hire yes men because the AD is too weak to deal with a strong personality coach.
If the truth about distance is correct we might have had one of the 5 star LB's depending on what you believe on this board, and that is with Manny recruiting. Also, depending on what you read on this board Denis is a project and is not a plug and play type kid, which with our OL is what we need, see Nelson for example of trying to put weight on a guy and insert him before he is ready. Also, Shannon had the number 1 class as well at one point in his career. I will take the results on the field, how they develop the talent, and how the motivate the players to win. Just don't see Mario as the guy, but just a guy. That's just me though.
That’s what a functioning AD is supposed to be there for.Trouble is that is we paid that much Diaz would probably bring in someone he feels comfortable with and has worked with in the past and we know what has happened there.
Flat out inexcusable.Whatever else you guys wanna say, please dont excuse our OL recruiting on the grounds denis is a project. We surely didnt replace him with a plug and play option. We just settled for nada.
Our OL recruiting smells like intentional self-destruction. Just unbelievable. WTf is manny thinking?Flat out inexcusable.

Didnt we just go thru a season where we started a 2* true frosh “left tackle” who weighed 235 lbs just months before coming here and who we stole from a D2 program? Is this real life?One thing being a Canes fan has taught me, the level of incompetence knows no bounds. We are going to go from punters getting WR reps to TE's getting OL reps. Smh
Right? Paying 100K for a Yugo doesn’t make it a high end import. Gotta know what you’re buying.I would've called ****** games for half what they paid Enos.
All reports are he makes more than a million, private school salaries are not listed
