We are about to see what's most important to Mario.

He preaches accountability and such, but his crucible is right in front of him. Is his desire to win greater than his pride that he has it right regarding his approach to the O. Name a NC winning coach (who wasn't already the OC for his team like Spurrier) who didn't evolve and hand the reins over to a professional OC...?

Will Mario go the Al Golden route or will he evolve as a HC and hire an OC who will run an effective O and empower him to do so? Although unlikely, maybe, just maybe Gattis wasn't given the reins...? Doubtful, but the point is, if Mario really wants to bring the U back, he will have to evolve, or he'll just be the next mistake that the U administration has made over and over again since not securing Butch.

I'm rooting like **** for Mario and truly hope that his desire to win exceeds his stubbornness and ego. We deserve it. We require it.

Fans need to stop trying to dissect every move and need to quit trying to micromanage every move, one year into this disaster of a program he took over.

Too many fans still see that helmet on the side of the helmet and have long-gone visions of yesteryear, for a program that's been irrelevant and off-brand for the better part of two decades.

118-85 entering this season (since the 2005 Peach Bowl) is an average of 7-5 annually for the past 16 seasons.

Zero conference titles, and one sad divisional title since joining the conference in 2004—not to mention only one double-digit win season since coming over to the ACC.

Toss in three years under that beta Manny Diaz, which sucked all work ethic and accountability right out the window and it's no wonder this soft squad went 5-7 the minute an alpha came in and shoved a food up their collective **** regarding getting to work.

Would I prefer a different offensive coordinator after the way things played out with Josh Gattis this year—and the rumors / stories about his ego, not meshing with other coaches, etc.—sure. He was never an attractive name from the get-go, after guys like Joe Brady and others were floated around—but I'll also trust that if Mario keeps him, a one-year sampling size with the personnel on the field might not be enough to close the book on him.

Let's be honest, Tyler Van Dyke was injured the majority of a 5-7 season—which easily cost Miami 2-3 games this year—yet half this fan base still sucks off Rhett Lashlee for going 7-5 in year two.

Either way, what's "important" to Mario is pretty obvious; building a hard-nosed, tough in the trenches football team that is gritty, works hard and plays smart with a chip on its shoulder—and Miami was soft as Charmin when he took over; hence the mass exodus and overhaul.

He knows this was never a one-year fix, while frustrated fans want to take out two decades of failure an incompetence on him—which is moronic.

Beyond that, fans really think they bleed for this program more than he does as a two-time national champion, a Miami native, a UM alum and a guy who gave up a lucrative gig at Oregon to come back home to rebuild this dumpster fire?

How's about we just let it play out and see where things wind up around year three or four.

Honestly, it's like some of you completely forgot the lean Butch Davis rebuilding years and how badly some wanted to run him off—up through year SIX and the loss to Washington, before winning and and finishing 11-1 with that Sugar Bowl win; the cupboard stocked for the next few years.

Mario stripped this program down to the studs for a full blown rebuild. This over-worry about another year of Gattis somehow defining the entire program and Cristobal's legacy is a bit egregious when the entire foundation of the program is a hot mess.

People don't want to hear it, but you have to let this thing play out and to stop micromanaging every little tweak or move, lest you drive yourself (and the rest of us sane people) insane.

Who TF knows what’s important to Mario! Starting to look like he’s in over his head. I Hope I’m wrong but it’s looking like the only thing he’s good at is recruiting.

the U blog guy writes a novel filled w excuses blaming everything on everyone else. must be Marios cousin or some ****. what's important to Mario is winning in his way. imo. well see if that works out for us. after Y1, it wasn't close.
 
Mario has his flaws. Recruiting is not one of them. Recruiting is not limited to players. It involves coaches as well. I sincerely believe he has a big name OC locked down. He has to right???
 
Where TF is Mario these days? It’s like he’s hiding out and it’s weird AF.

I thought for sure he would want to be the face of this program when he came back home. If he’s just rolling with his original plan, I could respect that, if he would just come out and say as much. But instead he’s choosing to act all cryptic after getting his **** pushed in during his 1st season as the HC.

Right now ,with so much uncertainty surrounding the team and its immediate future, I would have thought that he would be trying to get out in front of these issues.

Instead, he’s choosing to alienate his fan base with this BS silent game of his. Honestly didn’t see this coming.
