Mike Lombardi, former Raiders executive and new North Carolina GM, takes shot at Mario Cristobal

As we all know by now, Bill Belichick is now the head coach at North Carolina. On Friday, new North Carolina GM and former Oakland Raiders GM Mike Lombardi joined Christopher Russo for his weekly segment on Sirius radio. Lombardi wasted no time taking a shot at the Miami Hurricanes head coach, Mario Cristobal.

Lombardi was asked by Russo to give a rundown of the responsibilities with his new job title. While providing the description of various responsibilities, Lombardi said:

“That job will entail player evaluations, developing a grading system, building a team around what you want to become. That’s so important, you know. In college you have all these first round picks. Well, you still got to build a team. I mean, Mario Cristobal has been wonderful in recruiting, but they haven’t been able to get to the final 12. You got to build a full team, it’s not about winning the recruiting battle. It’s about making the team the best it can be. So, for me that’s the job.”

The shot would be fine from someone else, but Lombardi is a failure and pariah. The only thing keeping him relevant is his grandfather's name and his friendship with Belichick. For the last decade, he's been exiled to podcasts where he makes bitter rants and runs off co-hosts.

One of the reasons Belichick has been a disaster without Brady is because he keeps around flunkies like this fat idiot.

Everyone says belichick is this great coach but someone please show me what he has done without Brady as his qb? What's that career record and win percentage sans mr Brady at the helm?

There's something about Mario that turns aloooooot of ppl off. You see it with Fran Brown, some of the whispers about boosters being fed up with him, Venables taking shots out of nowhere, his exit from FIU.

I'm not saying that as a good or bad thing. It's just very apparent alot of grown folks do not fw him for whatever reason.

Probably bc of his fake tough guy attitude. And the fact that he makes all of his people work 12 hour days and at the end of the year they have nothing to show for it.

They all hate miami. Mario could go undefeated for 5 straight years and they would fine something to criticize.

Let’s go undefeated for 5 straight years. When you bring in Cam and collapse in November, you feed the narrative and invite criticism. It is what it is.

Well Lombardi just put the X on his back. He better get UNC in the playoffs in year 3. Will Belichick even be coaching in 3 years?

Basically. He has not earned his salary thus far. I hope he turns it around for all our sakes, but I have doubts

Boosters being fed up with him? Where you hearing this? Not calling you a liar or anything, I'm just curious.

Exactly. Mario has not been good here. Dude was on CNN because of his ineptitude about taking a knee to win a football game. He deserves to be criticized. Urban Meyer would have won the national championship this year at Miami. Instead, man tatas has us toasting pop tarts.

Texas and UGA have had way more success the past 3 years. They are both in the playoff. Texas was in last year. UGA has won twice. We aren’t close. We have to stop rationalizing this.
