TVD was our only/best hope of avoiding a caveman offense long term…

[Miami[]_[]Smoke]

Had he balled out this year with Dawson, there might be A glimmer of hope that Mario realizes we can win with a modern offense. We know that’s now over…TVD and his turnovers have only reinforced Mario’s mentality that Bro ball gives us our best chance to win, see beating a down Clemson and covering the fsu spread. trying to win 20-17 on 300 yds of offense, 200 rushing, Is his wet dream. More random thoughts:

- people are talking a lot about the obvious improvement they see this year, but the record improvement will be 1, maybe 2 games. still pathetic, and worse than manny and golden. We are now in a much worse position though because Mario has the school by the balls like golden and manny never did, he’s surrounded by friends and allies And has a huge contract….obvious I know. He’s also much more stubborn than them… imagine that.
-anyone still want to tout his Oregon accomplishments like hes an amazing program builder? But he won a rose bowl…
-fletcher has terrible vision, and unfortunately that’s not really something you can learn
-our defense looks good, but kinchens is good for at least one huge bust or terrible angle per game. Long pass play given up? It’s usually because of him…
- good thing Mario was noble AF and only brought backups from Oregon to Miami
-Williams made a couple good throws, but he’s not our savior. completing 35% of your passes with mostly short routes, and almost no progressions, cannot be understated. He should have had 2 picks minimum.

Because we never turned the ball over on runs? lol

Williams has a bright future, but he's not ready. There is NO shame in that. I hope he gets healed up, and gets to ease into his role down the road.

 

[WestEndZone]

Call me crazy but the offense going into “Marioball” mode coincides directly with TVD imploding mentally (coaches deserve at least some blame for this regardless if TVD has outside issues going on).

I’m not sold on the theory the Mario all of a sudden put the brakes on the successful air raid stuff because he has some sort of overwhelming urge to incessantly run the ball. It makes no sense imo.

We also started an undeveloped 18 year old kid against Clemson and FSU (should have won). I can’t accept the current popular theory.

The current groupthink holds inconsistent positions. We know that Emory obviously needs a lot of development, but we also believe that we purposely put the brakes on the passing game because Mario gets some sort of a thrill out of running the ball? I don’t get it.

Emory in a year or two I think would have been perfect…

Unfortunately TVD got the yips mid season and Dawson and Mario decided it was best to protect their 3rd year starting QB from himself…

We have to hit the lotto in the portal… at minimum give us a Jacory Harris or Kayaa at starter

John Ruiz better get the LifeWallet stock price up to afford the premium that we’re gonna have to pay to get any transfer QB worth a ****

Im leaning more that dawson is just mid but I have no faith in mario to hire a great spread type oc because he doesn’t seem like a good football mind and even if he does he’s gonna insert his influence on the offense so to me just go get the best creative pro style guy lol maybe then he will let them 100% run the show

Yeah tbh I think fans are setting themselves up to be disappointed. Not you, but I’ve seen it a lot

This narrative that is somehow we just pay a lot of money we will get an elite QB is just wrong imo

We are not a destination for a QB and while we aren’t poor, we aren’t going to outbid a lot of teams either

We are going to need to hit on the right fit depending who the OC is and I’m not entirely convinced that it will be someone that could beat out Emory. I could be wrong but we are going to have to wait for scraps

Bingo

This is what you get when you go conservative bro style offense. It guarantees you that elite QBs and WRs ignore you

Bama and Georgia are about the only teams that could go this route and still get studs because they’re SEC and always competing for a Natty

I really thought Mario learned his lesson but nope.

Just give me someone with experience, and some working tools.

Yea Dawson could be a one trick pony. Run of the mill system guy that just knows basic air raid stuff.

Probably the biggest thing to fix, however, is our QB situation. Not having viable backup to compete with TVD is criminal.

Correct. These people think qb is easy. Opponents figured ours can’t throw zone and that is all she wrote.

We have no one on the team that is ready.

Want to blame Mario blame him for not playing Emory in more games. Especially early on. I felt it was a given VD was going to get injured. Blame Mario for not having the room ready.

But not for the offense we now run. Product of the qb room. You’ll see it the rest of the year. Don’t expect much. Every game will be close.

Read the post before yours. Completely agree. Not having a backup there to compete with TVD is criminal

You have good logic. This is what people should be mad at.

Don’t forget he inherited VD. He isn’t going to hit on qb everytime.

Have to agree. TVD went mental and became an INT machine so made sense for Mario to want to lean on the run game and defense. I blame Dawson more for lack of creativity, repetitive playcalling (run up middle, tunnel screen, etc.), and inability to adjust at halftime.

I think he’s still learning how to install a run game that complements his air raid stuff, because none of it is in sync

I had concerns about him when he’s not under dana, now he’s under someone who’s philosophy is probably totally different. They just don’t mix

Hang on. Al Golden equally had Miami by the balls. His extension in response to the Shapiro scandal tacked on an extra 5 years to his contract! We would be in way better shape had he bolted to PSU when he interviewed.

Now Mario signed an 8 year contract and we will likely give him at least the same amount of time Golden got.

No coach WANTS to fail. They just only know their brand of coaching. Most are not adaptable.

People here assume they know the guy who will swoop in and change things here. At one time, many thought it was Cristobal. People actually wanted him instead of Richt! I have yet to see any reason Mario was better than Richt other than his health.

This!
I have a hard time believing any decent quarterback is going to want to sign up for this ****, unless the money is just too good to pass up.

This is CIS.

Dawson is running his offense without Cristobals interference. How do I know? I have the transcript of the interview.

Cristobal: "Sky bad. Ground good. Sky good, no job."
Dawson: "Me know. Ground good. Ball smash! QB smash!"
Cristobal (excitedly): "Me like you! Next time moon big, club wife in head and drag me cave for dinner."
