He has a brain fart now and then.See this is a good and reasonable take.
@TheOriginalCane When people say Mario is letting guys find a landing spot, this makes sense. Step down in level, but back to calling plays and more responsibility. Hopefully the next move that is not quite a step up happens soon (and hopefully a couple more soon thereafter).
I never said I wanted Herm Edwards... I asked a question if that style of team building would work here.View attachment 225231
Do people honestly think there’s a real difference between “you’re fired” vs “you should find another job because we’re looking for your replacement”?

He sucked at his job here. QBs weren't prepared and that's on him.Saw it coming as soon as Appy State's OC Barbay jumped to Mississippi State.
He's actually a good coach who was in a bad situation down here.
This was expected. Next shoe will drop soon.

How about you tell me another job in the real world that pays you millions but tells you to go look for another job due to obvious bad performance that is publicly known, and they keep paying you until you do. And even if you don’t, they’ll just keep you onHow about you go out and try to find another job after being fired (and acknowledging that firing in your job application and/or interview, if you can get one), and then you can tell us if there is a difference.

If they wanted to go this route, all they had to do was mutually part ways publicly and gattis could have said it was a philosophical difference for the parting or some other BS, even though not a single coach would believe it wasn’t mainly due to the offense’s bad performance this year. He has to answer the question on why he left either way.
And Miami wouldn’t hire any fired coaches right? How many of our current coaches haven’t been fired at some point in their career? Sometimes when you have to face reality, you learn from those mistakes or hard lessons and you improve
We did solve the worthless bowl game problem in 2022Yessir, agreed. I truly DO understand the concern people have that "letting guys find a landing spot" is taking so long (6 or 7 or 8 weeks, depending on how it is measured).
The only problem we seem to have is civil discourse on this subject. The moment you point out WHAT MARIO IS DOING, you get hammered for "making excuses" or "defending Mario". You and I talked for two hours, you know I have some concerns with a few things that Mario has done.
I do hope that Gattis and Ponce succeed elsewhere. I think Mario has a good eye for football playing and coaching talent, even if not every guy is a perfect fit.
I wish that certain porsters weren't repetitively screaming for November blood to satiate their feels, but it looks like all the rational explanations in the world won't change that. Oh well.
You and I also spoke about the massive cluster**** of events that are jamming up December and January right now, related to both player movement and coaching changes. It's just too complex and unmanageable.
Universities which pay multi-millions in coaching salaries deserved to have their employees remain employed through the end of the bowl games. Maybe the NCAA needs to change the rules, to allow this new army of "analysts" to be given battlefield promotions to "on-field coaches" and "in-home recruiters" during the silly season of coaching changes in December-January.
The current system is just chaos.
And for the record, this is reason # 8,479 why I hate the worthless bowl games. Too spread out, too meaningless, a ridiculous fluffy extension to a tight regular season. And then you have an unnatural divide between the teams whose seasons end in late November (and are obviously looking to upgrade) and the teams that continue playing garbage ESPN-money-grubbing games into January.
It's chaotic crap.
And that makes me sad.No, he was sad in there and it made us sad so we freed him.
Is Ponce to App State confirmed by Ponce or by App State?
