Could Mario be bringing in D'Anton Lynn as the next DC? He has a connection to the Branch bros. He'd be a home run IMHO.
They do share the same agent so there's that.
Do you think that Mario has underestimated or maybe even not really realized the Dennis Smith effect?
The head man is always responsible for everything but I guess, what I am asking, if you were assigning a % of blame where and what would they be?
So true. Do you think we will go after Drones from VT?

I'm curious what Dawson needs to do to please some people lol #1 offense, yet, not enough
I think people attribute that to Cam and Cam alone. Gotta fit whatever narrative they are spinning.
Already announced he’s staying at vt but…
You're making me want to leave.

I believe that his faith/trust in Dennis has outweighed Mario's perception of the damage Dennis has done.
For that, I give all of the blame to Mario. Not just because he trusts Dennis, but because in 3 years he has not managed to construct additional and/or parallel support for what Dennis does.
Now, on an overall basis, Dennis has to take more than 50% of the blame. His behavior, and how he handles job stress, is his problem to maintain and control. But if Mario thinks a few apologies to recruits and parents and NIL agents fixes all these problems, that's where HE has to take responsbility for his misreading of situations and impacts.
I understand that when you are only hiring 2 coordinators, and you have a reputation as a hard-charging/high-demanding boss, it might be harder to find older/experienced guys. I get that on an intellectual level. I understand WHY Mario might have a hard time hiring coordinators, even if I'm not happy with it.
But when it comes to support staff and scouting/recruiting types, given the sheer number of jobs we have, it should not be that hard to find a ton of hungry young hard-workers who are eager to make their mark and impress the boss. Those guys are not going to be with Mario as frequently as the coordinators are, so they should be able to learn and work and grow.
Why Mario can't seem to find 2 or 3 additional people to communicate with recruits and their families without, say, FREAKING THE **** OUT WHEN THEY FIND OUT THE PRICE OF THE NIL JUST WENT UP, I don't know.
I thought only women had the power to make men so blind. Guess i was wrong...
Announcements are the functional equivalent of silent commitments.
Not worth the paper they are written on.

Annndd I thought I was the only one
It is bizarre AND Mario does have a plan. Now that plan is scientifically known as the “pull and pray” method so…
I gotta think twice about a kid whose first choice is Iowa. Maybe he's not all that and his offers indicate as much.
Nico to USC? Can't happen until the spring portal opens, no?

I brought him up on the show Wednesday night, what he did at ucla was very very impressive. He’s as close as a guarantee you can get.
I ******* see you
It is basically 5 pm EST and Maiava hasn't entered the portal and Dan Marino hasn't announced any extra year of eligibility.

Agree. That’d be a home run. USC’s defense was light years better than what it had been previous 2 years under Riley. That’d be his 3rd different school in 3 years though so long shot but agree with you. Him turning around UCLA’s defense and significantly improving USC’s defense was no light work.
