Coaching You can’t defend Cristobal anymore

MikeyCanez said:
Busy weekend but I appreciate occupying some space in your head. But there will be no continued defending or slurping from me.

For what it is worth, I always preferred Lane Kiffin and have never been blind to Mario's shortcomings. But I did think that the talent level was finally at a place where we could judge him on his merits and after the start to the season, I thought we would progress as the season went along.

I was wrong.

And it is clear that no one does less with more than Mario.

The penalties are egregious, the lack of offensive imagination is embarrassing, and the decision-making from top to bottom is impossible to defend. I don't think Mario and the coaching staff were the only reason that Miami lost yesterday, but they were the main reason. And there is no excuse for continuing to play down to the competition year after year.

We find new and humiliating ways to lose every season and scoring 20 points against THAT defense is fireable in every sense of the word. The irony that Mario spent so much effort clowning Manny Diaz for leaving the cupboard bare and now Duke is in a better position to make the ACC Title Game is not lost on me.

I still wouldn't fire him, not just because of the buyout and support internally, but especially given that Miami would be, generously, the fourth or fifth-best job to open this offseason and I'd prefer a less competitive coaching market. I also would prefer to hang on to what, at least for now, looks like a promising recruiting class. But I am all for moving on from him for the right candidate.

Also, I am never one to constantly blame the refs, but PICKING UP the flag for defensive PI on Marion AND calling that holding on Mauigoa and then not calling it when Trader was abused in the end zone is ******* embarrassing and the ACC deserves all of the shame that they definitely don't feel.

His termination would involve people paying a $60 million or so buyout. If that’s what it is I don’t see the guys who brought him here doing that and then dropping another $100 million commitment on a new staff. I’m not against what you advocate but I think the chances of it are slim. I think he’s here for years.

No question on $$$$, we have NIL & Mario does recognize and recruit talent
He either changes or kick him upstairs as a GM which he most likely should be at this point, seems to be coaching not to lose

I wish this would happen. I don’t think it will but I agree with the sentiment

He is who is. He can recruit but he can’t coach to save his life and you’ll never win with him

It’s hard to argue this and I was a big Mario supporter, but he has to definitely do some real inner thinking here on how he wants things to go here at Miami because they can’t continue to go how they are. The play calling is so arrogant, that there doesn’t seem like there’s any scheme involved at all, I never see us attack the opponents weaknesses. He’s gotta change some things that’s for sure.

Dawg we are within margin of error. 8-10 wins and no ACC/playoff is literally the last 20 years. I love the positivity. But we need to see reality. Mario is insulated from accountability. Only the fans can hold him accountable at this point.

Can he recruit. Name me two of his recruits that start on the Miami teams from 2000-2002? I’ll give Bain.

Maybe Francis. It’s not more than those two at most. Malachi would get reps. Who was the punter? Lol
