You bring up a couple guys, one of whom pushes it to a degree, who make an idiotic point talking about a hot seat. I’ve addressed that point on the board. He’s here for the long haul.

Again, there are a few posters who say things that most on here think are ridiculous. So Address those specific posts by those posters when they say stupid ****.

Instead we have people broadly threatening anyone who raises any questions about what’s hurting us this year, like is it NIL? That’s normal. I get that you don’t like it or agree with it and that’s fine. As I said, they will be dealt with if they try us.

Well I was specifically mentioned so I feel kinda honored. I don't think I have ever mentioned Cristobal being on the hot seat. That would be a ridiculous take. If people want to say I'm King Mope for saying UM footballl was unspeakably bad and unwatchable in 2022, then I accept the crown. As pushing the limit, I've always been a fan of overly polite villains in movies. I try not to be rude or insulting. That would be bad manners.

Now for recruiting - Cristobal was hired because he was supposed to be an elite recruiter. I don't think that is in dispute. So far the results don't match the reputation. Slurpers say just wait until he starts winning and recruiting will get back on track. My "controversial" view is that almost any coach can recruit well when the team is winning, but an elite recruiter should still be able to sell a 5 win program to recruits. Maybe there is a little drop in the class, but it shouldn't from #7 to the high teens. Something isnt clicking. Either he isn't able to sell his vision to 5 star recruits or the NIL money isn't there.

Obviously there is still time- if he lands a bunch of top recruits before NSD and I'll be the first to say he earned his paycheck. But I believe it's fair to say that if some UM fan had been living in a cave for the last three years and just stepped back into the world, and you told him that UM currently has the #18 class, he would probably guess that Manny Diaz was still the HC.

You are wrong, the results have matched the reputation off last class. This class is incomplete. Simple as. It seems bad now but signing day is still December. Its like judging a team cuz they started 6-0 only for them to finish 1-5 down the stretch.

I can judge a team when it is 6-0 and say it is a 6-0 team.

I don’t recall you ever saying the hot seat thing. You don’t attack anyone on here either.

How many recruits signed so far?

0. As someone else pointed out, it's like your kid bringing home a midterm report card with a bunch of Cs and Ds. Midterm grades don't count so why worry? Sure your kid can still get get an A for the semester. But it's not unreasonable to be concerned at where things stand and try to figure out the problem.

Why do you guys keep saying SMU?

Is this just a fun way of picking the first bag school that’s not Texas or 8 and 4 in the state? C’mon now lol

Bro, if the SMU ACC rumor was true, they were willing to give up ALL tv money for several years because the boosters would make up the difference. That is crazy. It [BGCOLOR=initial]means they have got A LOT of NIL money.[/BGCOLOR]

Report cards are permanent. Verbal commits are not. It doesnt take alot to change the complexion of our class. Also i factor in the portal. Concerns are fine, i speak of that, i raise my own. But to say he been a disappointment in recruiting is a big much. Imo
