Why would Mario leave Oregon? Glimpse into the recent past ... pure comedic gold

Reminding myself how preposterous the media hot takes were back when we were pursuing Mario...we can't ever let these media clowns live this idiocy down.

I don’t remember it being this much of a saga but this is when I was at my sickest time before the liver transplant. Did Oregon feel Mario pulled a Saban on them?

Oregon had their arrogant heads up their asses almost the entire time until it was nearly done deal. They spent a couple of weeks openly mocking us for how delusional we were thinking we had any chance of taking Mario. I spent that entire time telling my Oregon fan friends out of kindness that they need to prepare themselves to lose him because I *knew* who we had on the task and that there was near zero chance we would fail. It was glorious watching them and the national media as they began realizing in real time... *oh* ****** .
 
I love this! Pure Gold!

In fairness, Miami’s football budget pre Mario is nowhere near what it is today. Miami wasn’t a mediocre program for 20 years because of bad luck. It was because we were cheap and didn’t spend anything on coaches, facilities, or anything else that all the major programs were sinking money into. Without the reassurance that he was going to get the budget he wanted, Mario would never have come here.
 
The narratives were hilarious.

“Billy Napier is at Florida and is a better recruiter than Cristobal.” (LMFAO)
“Miami doesnt have the money that Oregon has.”
“Miami is doing this backwards hiring a coach before the AD.”
“The days of circling the wagon around S FL are over.”

Uh, no. Wrong.

While NIL did not exist back then, Miami began spending on coaching and facilities when Richt arrived. Manny didn't fail for lack of budget.

Mario demanded certain things be accomplished on a short timeline, and that has happened. And, yes, as the success has built, so have the resources, particularly on the external side.
