I'd love to see a poll of the south Florida kids who we'll lose this year give an opinion who it would take to get them to come to Miami.
Here it is right here for the novices here on the board that never played the game at a high level. Think about it this way at your job where you’ve worked your way from the bottom up and know everything there is to know about the job and then they go ahead and hire someone to be your boss that’s never even worked In the field before, a compete novice. You and I both know your not gonna give him true respect because he never earned it. That’s exactly what’s going on behind the scenes at Um when this kids are in there dorms, they’re making fun of Diaz nerdy ***! Basically saying this pu$$y wasn’t man enough to even play the game In highschool and this bum is our head coach. Smh never hire a head coach that didn’t atleast play the game at the college level of you want your team/players to respect him.
Doubt it! Maybe he was the mascot or the dude that kept track of the stats with a clipboard on the sideline.I think manny actually did play in high school. At Miami country day.
this is the problem. finding the right guy. I think Mario and Mark Stoops are similar hires as far as the ceiling. Mario concerns because he almost lost to washington and wazzau, but he did close those games out. he is also battling alot of injuries this year. interesting is this team isnt even full of his players yet fans credit it. that being said, unless they are willing to break the bank for urban meyer and his baggage (i say do it at this point) we dont know who the next great coach would be.Because he played here, he's Cuban & coached at Bama.
That's pretty much it, if his name was Mario Johnson & had the same credentials no one would want him.
I think he's a solid coach, I don't think he'd turn Miami around & I've never been in favor of hiring him, he's obviously better than Diaz (which I mean who the fck isn't), but if people think he'd come here & do what he did at Oregon they're insane.
His success at Oregon is directly tied to the financial support they give their program, they actually care about football & are committed to winning, therefore they spend the money necessary in order to make it happen.
Miami doesn't even allocate enough funds to the football program for the recruiting budget, let alone spend the money necessary for a proper staff, Cristobal would fail here, not because he sucks, but because he wouldn't be able to overcome Miami's lack of effort from an administration standpoint, he wouldn't survive dealing with a program that simply isn't interested in turning Miami into a winning team.
Also most Canes fans are obsessed with filling the program with nothing but former Canes, they think anybody that's ever played or coached here is supposed to have an automatic spot available on the team & think they would recreate the 00's era, which of course is never going to happen.
hes like a fab who won a coach for a day contest.Oddly enough Diaz Can’t Recruit and thinks our Culture is wearing chains and rings and dancing like fools when your losing. Oddly enough! Smh
This will be the easiest explanation I will have today: Miami fans are obsessed with Cristobal because the typical Miami fan is a moron that doesn't pay attention to college football outside of the Miami bubble. It's the reason why Manny Diaz is the coach now, outside of Blake James being an incompetent idiot. Miami fans have this mistaken belief that only a "Miami Guy" can win here, when in reality, the coaches that have won at Miami have NEVER been truly Miami guys. Howard had been everywhere, Jimmy Johnson was a native Texan, Dennis Erickson was from the northwest, Butch Davis was from Arkansas. Instead of finding the best coach available, Miami fans reflexively reach for any coach with any tie to the glory days. It's irrational, and makes it easier for idiots like James to wuss out and make lazy, uninspired hires. As long as they can say "They are a Miami guy, hence why they were hired", they will have enough fans eating out of their hands to where they can get away with pure incompetence.
I was ****ed when Diaz was hired, because Miami could have had Bill Clark, they could have had a multitude of guys that would have been far better at getting the most out of the talent out on the roster. That anger has resided, not because Diaz is competent(he isn't), but because I know that even if he is fired, this fanbase will clamor for yet another tired Miami retread, and nothing will ever change.
So is every other HC in history.Mario is much better than Manny.
Cristobal is so far 19-7 as the Oregon HC. He was blessed by inheriting an elite QB and a top 5 O-Line. Cristobal always struggles in the biggest games and he's only 10-2 with a playoff caliber Roster. The majority of his starters are Juniors and Seniors. He was 27-47 at FAU when he had his guys. Cristobal has never been a OC or DC either.
Doubt it! Maybe he was the mascot or the dude that kept track of the stats with a clipboard on the sideline.
Ok I’ll give you that because you actually played highschool ball with him. Glad to here manny atleast played some level of ball even though he probably rode the bench.I went to MCDS with Manny and played on the same team, he absolutely played football there. He wasn't a great athlete, even by MCDS standards, but he was certainly a lot better than the kids who did hold the clipboards or played in the band.

I mean...if you don't understand the connection, idk what to tell you.
He's not a bum coach...and we likely would be better than we've been if we had Mario all these years. He's just not a great coach.
I'm not a Mario guy at all (check the logs, I've long not wanted him and think it'd be a lazy hire), but I've come around on him a bit. I think he'd be a great GUY BEFORE THE GUY if Miami were to ever become great again. I think he'll get us back to having elite recruiting classes and talent on the roster. We might top out at 10-2 with some Coastal titles with Mario, but he'd get us a ton of talent and if the timing is right, maybe the next guy could get us a championship with his talent.
He's got some Butch Davis to him...in both the best and worst ways.
I trade Mario for Shanny anyday though.4 reasons:
Miami guy
Coached at Alabama
Recruits well (recruits South Florida well)
Might understand how offensive lines work
Miami could do much better but Cristobal isn’t awful, he’s just not a game changer. He’s also not insanely incompetent which is always a plus.
Totally agree with how you describe Cristobal - and that's exactly how I felt about Richt. Solid but not great coach. Great recruiter. Hoped he would stock the team with better talent, get us back to a consistent 10 win team, make the Miami job more attractive again - then hand the keys over to a really good coach.
Richt won more games and recruited better - but then we handed the keys over to Manny. Now we're back at square one.
