Why did Mario Cristobal leave Miami to work for Satan?

At the time he was truly torn. He was up and back to Tuscaloosa at least 2 times before making that decision. And of course he was crucified by fans at the time when he left for Bama (think he was here for 2 weeks or so under Golden). Hate to use the cliche but in hindsight it was a good "business decision" for him and his coaching future.
I think he even got demoted at Bama (wanna say from something with coaching OL to coaching TE) but now that he's beaten OSU - even though he's taken some lumps at Oregon and was questioned and criticized in the past while with the Ducks -- us UM fans want him.
 
This is why I asked. This was said in a thread a while ago.
Cause our athletic director was soft and got ****ed at cristobal for choking out a rival coach during a recruiting trip.
2 days later he was in tuskkkaloosa
 
Because he had a brain.

Saban's assts are HCs

Goldens assts are back coaching HS in NJ

Mario was the man for the job when Richt retired. This was actually a destination job for him.. and he earned. Now, Manny is learning on the job

I have never heard of Cristobal choking out a rival coach on the recruting trail.

Honestly, that seems crazy and there has been no evidence introduced to support that.

It has been talked about on here. I just cannot find the thread.
 
He sat through one of Onofrio’s recruiting evaluation meetings and left immediately afterwards
 
I wanna talk about this revisionist history and this recruiting situation.
And wanna know why our own hates our own so much.
Because Al Golden is a F*** Shop. I remember hearing a story about Mario on a recruiting visit at a West Palm HS and incident happened and Golden didn’t stick up for him and believe he got in trouble. And Mario left because he knew all those guys are idiots. Mario was there to meet a recruit after the game and the HS coach bumped Mario for another coach to speak with the recruit and Mario wasn’t having it, he blew up at the coach and was a scene. The coach called Golden and complained and Al got mad at Mario.

A better question might've been "Is it possible for UM to ever have the physical, institutional and financial support/resources that UO has?"
“The fundamental question is, will I be as effective as a boss like my dad was? And I will be, even more so? But until I am, it's going to be hard to verify that I think I'll be more effective.”
