Not agreeing or disagreeing. What is your reasoning?
Interesting. I don't have a bleak feeling as much as a realistic one. We've definitely improved in some areas of talent acquisition, but we do have a llllonggg way to go. The offensive system "SHOULD " also help us, but
The entire season ... from the Texas A&M debacle right to the end felt very much like the last game at the OB. Disgusting. Mario scares me a bit in that he seems to sometimes have unrealistic expectations and holds on to them to the detriment of the entire program. Simply holding out with the insane hope that Ken Dorsey was going to take the OC job in 2022, then finally moving on at a late date to be turned down finally by Jason Candle, is simply poor judgement. Certainly hope that Alonzo helps to moderate his "swinging for the fence" approach in some instances.

really it began with southern miss. the warning signs were there in that game.
if dawson ends up being a HR or even lashlee, it doesnt matter the process bc the end result was a success. the recruits will come once the results are there.

Yeah, I posted the other day about logical decision makers who make decisions and move forward being what I look for and how I don’t see that with him and it leaches into his game day approach IMO. Then I gave this example:
i think im more realistic this time around. richt won us 9 games with a roster that won 6 the year ebfore. i expected that from mario in year 1. i do admit richt in his prime is a better coach but mario has a lot more tools at his disposal to win A LOT more here along with age and health (hes also a better recruiter). this year, just win 7-8 (dont expect much more than that given the roster turnover and the holes). im really looking to see how our offense performsInteresting.

“Outside of recruiting and coaching Olinemen Mario brings nothing to the table. We’re more likely to see WEFENSE play press man coverage than Mario preserving his timeouts.
Also Mario is NOT gonna out coach anybody and his inability to close on good-elite DT/CB prospects lets me know this is gonna be another rinse, watch and repeat of a failed staff.
Last season was the worst football I’ve ever witnessed at Miami. Any opposing team that as much raised the it’s voice at Miami got Canes on all fours ready to get their **** pushed in.
The players quit on Mario and Mario quit on last years team

Compared Cam to Brady as a passer. Also said he'd still be in league if he hadn't used his legs. Lol just a bad comp.
Race part was just misworded IMO.
My take is he wants to be considered more than just an athlete at QB.. Respectable. Making it about him being black vs his strengths (being clocked at 23 mph & not a great passer at this point) is where he went wrong.

100%. Glass is definitely half full not half empty based on the direction of the program. But realistically, Mario's staff has a ton more work to go before we can be talking 10 wins, much less be mentioned in the same breadth as Clemson and other playoff teams.
@Lance Roffers the most concerning point in your post is the lack of respect we're getting from potential WR transfers. 2022 was a train wreck. But it's explainable by Gattis, the OL and TVD's injuries for the most part. You would think we have a great story in Dawson + healthy TVD + improved OL?
Mario knows the product everyone will see at the spring game...
Luckily nobody will be there to see it

You are the Special Match Referee!!!
Are the transfer WRs really trolling us?

Just woke up from a coma. Did richt fire his son yet?
Massive difference.
That was year 3(?) of the Manny tenure.
With a defensive system that was in place for years.
And a roster full of kids that HE KNEW, HE RECRUITED and HE DEVELOPED.
Meaning - by that time in his tenure - he shouldn't be losing to a college football team in Doral.
Take those same sorry a$$ players...plug in a completely new staff...a completely new offense...a completely new defense...and a completely new culture (that Manny's kids weren't buying into)...
And that's how get bad results in year one.
I don't think the majority of you guys understand how long it takes to turn a program around, especially one with a culture as bad as Miami's was.
It's not plug-n-play.
Those DB's who were getting smoked by MTSU WR's were DB's that Manny developed. That ain't freakin' Mario's fault. LOL
Appreciate your straightforwardness, and I do agree with you about last season. In seeing that Mario has made some corrections to his awful year 1 hires, I have to give him respect for that as well. I get your overall sentiment, but I hope Mario at least is able to bring in an influx of top talent and our OC and DC are able to have game day influence on Mario's decisions. No idea how this will play out this season or the following one. Hoping for a lot of best case scenarios.
I get it but I don’t. No doubt we’ll have a better roster under Mario. No doubt there was a culture issue. But in year 1, Mario - particularly on offense - opted to go the Morehead style route as opposed to the Lashlee style route. He didn’t make the most of what he had by his own choice. Guaranteed Manny with the staff he had wins more games last year than Mario did. Your point that Manny was a bad example because of FIU and such doesn’t change that because I’m not defending him being good, I’m just saying that he did better with the same players than the current guy.
I get that you think Mario gets a pass for that but I don’t agree on a pass to the level of disaster we saw last year.
