💩 just got real. We're not F'ing around. If Mario can't do it, shut the program down.

So I'm at the Nike coaching clinic in Orlando tonight. (notice I said Nike)

Willie Taggart is here with his whole FSU staff. After Willie gives his clinic, the whole FSU staff does "break out sessions" where all of the position coaches go into separate rooms and give their own short clinics.

So Manny Diaz and staff show up right before the breakout session in all of their Adidas gear and start throwing a full-on frat party (in a separate room) handing out free beers to all High School coaches...DURING FSU's BREAK OUT SESSION!! lol

So instead of the high school guys attending the FSU breakout sessions, they were all heading towards the Miami Hurricanes party. (Hello, free beer!)
Manny was tossing beers around to coaches, taking pictures, choppin' it up with the high school guys, etc.

Everybody was like "this is an epic, gangster *** stunt." LOL

Manny's response...
"This is what we're trying to bring back to The U, that F-U type of swagger."

They're leaving tomorrow morning. They came all this way just to crash FSU's clinic. LOL
What an epic move. And let me tell you something, he has this place buzzing right now. High School guys from all over the state are at this clinic and they're talking about Miami's stunt tonight.



OTHER TIDBITS FROM TONIGHT:

*Miami just offered Justin Hodges of Western High, a 6'2" Corner who's in the Blades family.

*The Mandarin QB really really likes Miami. He's not as much of a UF lean that people think he is. That's directly from a Mandarin High coach who's here.

*When talking about Miami, Manny basically said... the last two regimes were on something different. Golden was trying to make it Penn State and Richt was trying to make it Georgia. Manny just wants to let Miami be Miami. He wants dawgs and he wants Miami kids to "be Miami kids."

*This is how real Manny is...
My buddy is the HC at Western High. When Western upset Atlantic this year in the playoffs, Manny Diaz texted my buddy right after the game to congratulate him. My buddy didn't have a single player on his team with a Miami offer, and Manny still reached out to him. That's unheard of. Most college coaches don't even pay attention to you unless you have a player of their caliber. Manny is a visionary and extremely forward-thinking. In the event that my buddy does have a kid who is Miami caliber, you can bet your *** that my buddy wouldn't hesitate to send his kid to Manny/Miami. Manny clearly knows how important it is to establish relationships with the local high school coaches.

We had a separate athlete dining hall under both Golden and Richt. The food wasn't great but it was a different menu and if you didn't like what was served that day you could walk through the doors that connected to the freshman dining hall and grab food from in there.

Was the menu in the athlete dining hall prepared by nutritionists and more geared towards the needs of athletes than the menu in the freshman dining hall?
 
Coach Macho said:
Went to the elite camp Saturday.
First and foremost...
Completely different energy around the program right now.

Some notes...

1. Elite prospects all over. I think we all knew that, but to see all these kids in person is a different ballgame. First thing Miami did after having kids/family sign in, is measure every prospects's height and weight. You had to do that before you even entered the building. I made the coaches do me, and after measuring in at 6'2" 307lbs they asked if I had any eligibility left to add to the DT depth. So if you guys see an unknown walk-on on the roster this spring, or a player on the sideline eating lemon pepper wings between possessions, you'll know who it is. I'm trying my best to get jersey #69.

2. We are no longer fvckin' around. There will be no more excuses. There is full investment and we are finally trying to play with the big boys. Mario revealed the plans for a completely new football building/facility. Mario requested no pics/videos so we weren't able to get shots of it...but it's serious. Bama level facilities. He said the building will likely be 4/5 stories high. THE BEST OF THE BEST. No stone unturned. Massive weight room with 20 built-in platforms and the entire wall will be made of glass, with a full view of the practice field. A ridiculous student lounge with the latest technology and videos games. A cafe that seats 150 people. The list goes on and on. It's simply much easier to just describe it as BEST OF THE BEST. Nobody will have the facility advantage on us anymore, including Bama.

3. I was told by Salavea and Stroud that we will be running a 4-front. It'll be a 4-2-5 structure. We we not be basing out of an Odd front, so we can throw those speculations out of the window. It's still possible that we could get Dorlus from Oregon. He will play mainly DE here. Salavea is not allowed to communicate with him any longer, so the ball is in Dorlus' court. We'd all love to see him come home, but Oregon is negative recruiting Miami and talking about how we don't even have a DC yet. I know Dorlus is tired of playing inside (DT) so much, but he kinda had to at Oregon. What he might fail to understand is, if he stays at Oregon he'll continue to play inside. Lanning is a 3-4 guy. At Miami he'll play outside. Salavea is pumped about the young talent at DT here, and really NEEDS Dorlus at DE. Let's hope the kid comes home. Salavea said he's an early round draft pick.

4. ENERGY, ENERGY, ENERGY! Everybody Mario has brought so far has big energy. Salavea gets pumped the **** up when he speaks about ball, very animated. Can't say whether he's better or worse than Simpson, but he's DIFFERENT. Simpson doesn't give you the feeling that he would ring your neck or that he could still suit up if he had to. Salavea, on the other hand, might walk into a kid's living room and scare him into signing with Miami.
Feld is a certified lunatic. When we arrived to the event, he had a group of players in the weight room lifting so we got to watch him in action. When we spoke in front of the crowd, he was the only one who declined to use a microphone. Dude would rather shout. He talked about neck strength, which was interesting, and placing an emphasis on core. Doesn't care to have a roster full of guys who can squat 600lbs but can't play ball and/or stay healthy or be explosive/flexible. One of the players I spoke to likes Feld much better than the last guy. He said the last guy was all about "punishing" players, and just working them, instead of being more focused on actual goals. (not verbatim, but that was the gist) He just said that Feld is more detailed. Words used to describe him were "lit" and "beast".

5. You can see how/why Mario's staff recruits well. Mirabal, Mario and Salavea are all very personable, humble and people oriented. None of that pompous/nerd energy that Manny and some of the former guys oozed from their skin. We literally had a discussion at the event about this issue. (a few HS guys and I) Mario gives off a much more genuine and personable energy. Even one of the position coaches kinda eluded to this. He also said that under Manny we were "figuring stuff out", like on the fly. Mario is like 'boom, boom, boom' this is WTF is going on. This is what happens when you hire an experienced/qualified guy.

6. THERE ARE NO MORE EXCUSES!!! Whatever resource Miami doesn't have, it's coming. We've got big-time people backing Mario. We've got money. We will soon have EVERYTHING the big dawg programs have. All the same toys. We also have a local 7-on-7 team full of elite talent that is funded/sponsored by Ruiz. That's a massive resource that many programs do not have. It's about to get A LOT harder for other schools to come down here and snatch our kids. AND IT'S ABOUT TO BECOME IMPOSSIBLE TO NEGATIVE-RECRUIT AGAINST MIAMI. They won't be able to point at our lack of resources, point at our facilities, point at our staff, etc. Plus we're fvckin' located in a world renowned city.

IF MARIO CAN'T DO THIS, PACK UP THE PROGRAM!!!
Because we're about to have everything we need. If the play-calling/coaching is halfway decent WE BACK.

One point that Duasso has made repeatedly is how far behind we are/were in sports medicine, despite having UHealth and Miller Medical.

As I've been told, that has more to do with the group/leadership there. Mario's going to get credit for nearly everything, most likely, but addressing Kaplan and crew is more of a Radakovich project/evaluation. And, because that type of expertise is unlikely in the building, it's more likely an outsourced job where Rad would have to bring in a consultant. At the very least, I'd hope they use the opportunity to collect feedback and evaluate ALL aspects. Because if dopes like me are hearing so many things, those rumors are moving around the past/current players often.

Yeah it was an upgrade, more fish and other meat, again it wasn't anything fantastic when I was there but it was a step up from the regular students. My guess is now our nutrition budget is greatly enhanced and the quality and diversity of the menu will improve
 
AlexCane said:
Awesome post. Thank you @Coach Macho

And not to change subjects, but this is why Mario was a better hire than Lane. I don't believe that Lane would have been interested in this side of the equation, which effectively will push us to build a foundation for years to come even after Mario. Like, even whenever Saban hangs it up, Bama still has the operations and infrastructure to continue to win big. I hope that Mario and the admin follow through on all this and build the groundwork for continued success into the next decade.

This was why I wanted Mario. I’m certain we would not see the same financial backing with any other such as Lane.

This is why many of us were screaming for Mario Cristobal to come here. This is exactly what he brings. Championship experience combined with relentless tenacity and a personal passion for the program which cannot be matched. Does he win a Natty? I don't know, it depends if he can adapt to the X's and O's side of things and hire the right folks. But this will be one of the most talented teams in the country very soon, bar none.

Feel free to post all the posts he killed Manny and the rest of the staff after. We'll wait..
 
@Coach Macho thanks for this tidbit, appreciate the rundown, there’s so much to be excited for!

I expect some extra coaching on reading 2 to 1, going over apexes of routes, and carrying the seam routes in between bites of those lemon pepper wings! 😂

I knew someone was going to bring this up lol but he was also one of the first to call Manny out for being a bunch of smoke and mirrors. He points out the good and bad. When he started calling Manny out early on he went from loved insider to mope real fast in the board's eyes.

Only thing you can do is call stuff as you see it. The new "energy" is kinda common for any new coach around the league, most say that, but do you think if Manny was here we would be talking about upgraded facilities and already have renderings and it appears like some stuff will start getting built soon? that is a tangible asset we did not have before.

Agreed he called them out after a similar event about how out of touch they were and how terrible they were at interacting with coaches and players. Then everyone got their panties in a bunch and excused him about making it about himself.

I thought we brought in a food and nutrition guy years ago with richt? I knew **** wasn’t right when the official college site was promoting nutrition and showing the kids drinking Cinnamon Toast Crunch smoothies and burnt sausages and dried out eggs. It was sad

I was told I was an idiot bc I didn’t buy into it. If getting bullied every Saturday wasn’t enough evidence, you guys should check out the baseball team. They sad excuse for nutrition those guys have is even more obvious.
