All in on Mario is the "Miami" thing to do and therefore completely wrong

Mario can recruit both sides of the ball. My only thing is can he do that at UM? Your going up against bama OSU UGA etc......where at Oregon u don't have to. And that goes for anyone we hire.....dmoney explained that fsu DB Cooper was a baller and he was......they have **** coaches over there at FSU and he balls. Ballers ball we need ballers real ballers not over hyped CIS ballers. The HC has to bring in ballers if he doesn't he will be packing in three years I don't care who it is.....if it's Herman Freeze Lane Mario......if they all bring basic guys they will get basic results.

Agree.

Everything the original poster wrote makes sense on paper, but this is the University of Miami—which has had an incompetent athletic department for decades and had to win in spite of that. They're suddenly going to wake up—with the same clowns in charge—and figure out how to properly vet candidates and to find the best guy for the job? No chance. UM isn't built that way.

Mario is the biggest name / best coach / most viable option for Miami based on realistic variables—not pie-in-the-sky, vet-every-candidate and search high and low for "the guy".

Bring in Cristobal, get rid of Blake and hire a competent AD that understands the power of a successful Miami football program—and bring in Highsmith in some type of player personnel football role and get to work.

There will be enough talent on this team next year to win the garbage Coastal—especially with Mario and his staff on the sideline, opposed to these current imposters.

Do I think the world of Mario Cristobal as a head coach? Not really. Impressive enough resume spending time under Butch, Schiano and Saban. Cut his teeth at FIU and learned on the job. Doing some things at Oregon that are impressive.

All that to say, he's Miami's most-realistic and viable option. Without him, I shudder to think where this BoT lands on UM's next hire; proven by a laughable track records since Davis left town 20 years ago.
 
Y’all don’t understand how massive of a hire Mario would be. You’re poaching one of the top recruiters in the country from a Top Ten Program where he had things rolling. It would be a major reset and he’d dominate Florida recruiting. UF is a disaster and Norvell isn’t beating Mario in the recruiting battle.

Brining in Mario is the equivalent of Bama bringing in Saban in 2007. It sends a message to the CFB world that you’re serious about winning and will do whatever it takes to get there. Remember y’all, Bama had a good 10-12 years before Saban where they were a shell of their former glory.

Bring in Mario and you’re going to see things change quick.

Recruiting is directly tied to money spent.

The UGA blueprint of recruiting will never happen at Miami.

You're probably right but it beats being the bridesmaid never the bride on the best players year in year out. It would nice to land a couple of those every now and again.

Yeah but Randy was a first time coach. He never had the experiences Mario has had.

Mario has done the start up, failed at it, got a bit better there, was fired, went to the best program and then has his new program in a spot where they control their own destiny to the CFB playoff.

Like I said mane..Mario can recruit. You’d imagine that translates here. But he’s gunna have his pick. LSU, UF (if Mullen is gone) USC( probably zeroed in on Franklin) Miami (no Blake James)…all the Miami ties..I ignore that. This is a business. It’s not 2000 anymore.

Depends who is asking the question. One group wants a detailed plan, others want him to flip the table and said Joaquin said dominate and we’re not doing it…

I will rephrase question, you (Mario) are sitting across from Alonzo Highsmith, Gino Torretto, Randall Hill, Jonathan Vilma, someone from academics, someone from medical school dealing with athletic injuries, someone form business school and someone from law school. In other words, interviewers that cover every aspect of athletics.

I don’t disagree.

I’m just pointing out that UGA/Bama style of recruiting would only happen if Miami decided to start spending $3.5+million a year in recruiting budget, we barely pay that for our HC lol
 
We will be lucky if Cristobol even takes a call. Y’all are ******* high. A coach with (likely) 3 conference championships, recruits top 10 classes, and a chance at a playoff working at a P5 school with huge spending capacity doesn’t leave for 6-6 ACC teams that have a stronger DEI program than sports program. Idk what planet you people live on

No thanks. After 15 years of mediocrity, if you poach a P5 coach from a consistently Top Ten program, you’re gonna raise some eyebrows. He’s the biggest hire we could get.

I was not saying he’s Saban, he’s not. The equivalence is in the message sent. That were serious about winning and are hiring the best guy on the market to do so.

Sure. But he’s not saban. If he was it wouldn’t take him 5 years to recruit a QB..and he **** sure wouldn’t be losing to Oregon state or Stanford. He’s a very good recruiter along the LOS in particular...and a very questionable game day coach..you what would be the equivalent to getting Nick Saban? Getting either Saban or Kirby then giving them UGA and Bama resources…Mario would be a upgrade tho don’t get me wrong
 
This is a tricky situation. One problem we have is that most of the coaches we might be interested in(Kiffin, Mario, etc.) are in the midst of playoff and New Years Day caliber bowl type seasons so they’re going to treat us like the plague right now. Second, our current recruiting class is horrendous right now so if we fire Manny tomorrow does that help us, or cause what little bit of positive we have with this class cause them to flee also? Personally, I think we can him now and take our chances with recruiting. The lure of a big name might cause some to be even more interested in us.

Kirby is not a great in game coach either. That’s where the compatibles comes in imo.. stack stack stack, and win because of talent to overcome coaching

Most of this isn't remotely accurate. He isn't Saban. No one is. He wouldn't dominate Florida recruiting because Miami never will. He's built a top ten program off the backs of a down Washington, USC and UCLA. There is no competition out there. He's not recruiting against Jimmy Lake in Miami. He's swings down at the rest of that conference when it comes to budget, recruiting, and support.

New found commitment at Miami or not he'll be swinging up against all the SEC and Ohio State and really the entire country who like to poach when it comes to recruiting, budget and support. Expecting a duplication isn't realistic. Mario wants to overwhelm with talent. We've been hearing about that formula since Butch. "Keep the local guys home". You're never gonna do it. Those days are over. You'll get your share but never dominate. How about find someone so good at actually coaching that he wins and competes in big games with less until the talent catches up? They would all feed into each other.

You're not gonna stack, stack, stack at Miami. Those days are gone. Get your share so you're not overwhelmed and let coaching and scheme win the day.

Mario has to interview UM not the other way around. I think Lane is the Miami thing to do.....I kind of like Herman and Freeze out of all. I hope people right about Lane cause I don't see how he does the things here like he's doing at Ole Miss. I just expect Saban to fail here at this point.

I’m not a Kiffin fan or a Mario fan

And the part that’s worse is I don’t think we are good enough to get either one of them
