Bryan McClendon comin'...aaaannnd he's gone

Well there’s a lot to unpack here.

1. T-Rob gone. Boo-*******-hoo.

That’s obviously just your personal opinion. I’m not quite sure why you’d be so unconcerned about losing one of the best DB coaches in the country, but you are free to think as you wish, friend.

2. Why? Rusty Mansell of all people came in and said, he isnt the leading candidate, nor is he even considered at the very top. They would have to come in and match money plus a Co-OC title. All it took was some unknown podcaster to say something on Twitter and people went nuts about it...

The fact that McClendon would even consider leaving is alarming. He already has the Co-OC title here, so he wouldn’t be leaving for a promotion. Mario thinks highly enough of him that he went out of his way to bring him over from Oregon, so we can’t use the “he’s not that good” line that we love to use when coaches leave. Bottom line - if a guy is considering leaving a job he took less than a month ago for a lateral position, it’s a really bad look.

3. Striking out on Candle, okay. Briles was never offered, this has been turned upside down ad nauseaum.

We don’t know for sure whether or not an offer was extended to Briles. Numerous sources at Arkansas as well as a national source indicate that an offer was made. Briles himself imitated one was made on Twitter.

4. Raymond also wasnt turned down. This story also has been explained numerous times.

One possible explanation of events has be put forth by a poster here that states he wasn’t turned down. Another possible explanation of events - one that indicates Mario did indeed turn him down - has also been put forth by a different poster here. Both posters agree Raymond reached out to us and ultimately didn’t get the job.

You mean our true freshman safeties playing in a defense that compromises them? Gtfo here. Don’t you remember our experienced cb coach in dvd corchinng our stellar depth at cb from rumph striking out here

TRob was the back end coach and DVD was a figure head. He sucked as a coach. He showed his colors with the trash plan of both our safeties and CBs. Crawl back to TRob's crack where you belong.

**** no he wasn’t. Well reported he was in charge of safeties who actually did ok. Your Glory boy dvd corched up our dbs in that god awful scheme.

Also mf he had to only work with ganja ivey and a converted cb in Clarke so hmd.

Half the season he was here we have had our best db haul in 10 years. When we land 3 star projects at db don’t slurp Mario

1. Who says McClendon is considering to leave? 2. Arkansas sources say he was offered. Miamis sources say he wasnt. Briles never, not once, went on Twitter insinuating he was offered. 3. Raymond inquired barely after Mario got hired. If he really wanted Miami that badly, he would have waited till Mario can reach out to him. He didnt, he jumped at the first offer. Raymond was never turned down.
 
Bmac thinking about returning to his alma mater has nothing to do with us and does not reflect poorly on anyone. It is what it is

How we react to it is more important.

For example, acting like the **** already happened and getting your d1cks in a knot over rumors is not reacting appropriately.

TRob left and by all accounts we’ll replace him with an equally great recruiter who wants to be here. If Mcclendon leaves we’ll do the same thing. At the end of the day Mario has shown us what he values in a staff… hard working personable guys that can recruit with the best

At the end of the day yall can decide how you want to deal with this offseason lol. Yall want to obsess over rumors tryna put **** together coming up with the worst possible outcomes judging the admin before the dust even settles. Or you wanna just let everything play out and see where we’re at in the end.

My thing is who cares how long it takes or what’s a “bad look”. They wanna overpay our recruiters cuz they scared? Let em at it. We’ll take the mfs who WANT to be here and will put the work in. There’s levels to this **** and we all know at the end of the day Miami recruits itself. You dont need big names you just need personable guys and good teachers.

If he’s down to interview for the UGA job, he’s open to leaving.

Again, that’s one version of events. Another poster came forward with a different version.

Friend, there’s a middle ground between moping and “Mario is a Gawd”.

I like Mario. I think he will do well here and I acknowledge we need to be patient with him because he’s obviously going to be here for a long time.

But acting like there haven’t been a few eyebrow raising events the last few weeks is disingenuous.

It’s okay to criticize or question Mario when it’s warranted. That’s not moping. It’s being a fan.

Who is saying that? By all accounts from CIS last year, no one can recruit as well as T Rob. Now all of a sudden our back up plans are all equally as good recruiters.

You are a clueless fool. Safeties were horrible. It was only until the Freshman came in that things improved over the last months. This guy was also a CB coach as well which were straight trash. So much for your BS of best CB coach in the country. Get rid of this guy ASAP and get a real CB coach

Idk who tf said No One Can Recruit As Well As TRob lol I think thats wild hyperbole. If you believed that, tbh that’s on you. He’s a strong coach/recruiter but hes not irreplaceable. All position coaches are replaceable at the end of the day. I’m not gna sit here and give u rumors of coaches that are being interviewed for the position there’s been enough posts about it

Instead of reading into “eyebrow raising events”, I would suggest taking a deep breath and watching it all unfold. You can always talk your **** (cuz i know you’re dying to) if things don’t work out but getting worked up by the process or before a full staff is even hired makes no sense at all. Coaches come and go and that’s all part of it.

You dont want crown Mario before the jobs done and thats fine i agree. You want to criticize the way he does things because thats not how other coaches do things or how you want him to do things, ok thats fine you do you. You DONT want to give Mario the benefit of the doubt despite knowing he can effectively run a P5 program at an elite level. Fine, whatever, we all have standards.

But y’all want to use hearsay twitter finger reports from the media and thirsty a$$ kendal briles about “who turned us down” or “we struck out with x” to judge our program’s direction? Lmfao thats weak as fvck my G

This is just a loser mentality. Having better position coaches goes a long way. There is a reason Saban and the other great coaches try and get the best possible position coaches they can get.

Im glad thats all u took from it lol. Saban replaces position coaches every year with equally good position coaches. Its not rocket science. Its about keeping an ear to the ground for charismatic and enthusiastic personalities who know football. Mario being one of them.

You seem to be miserable and cynical no matter the situation which would qualify as a “loser’s mentality”

Regardless, Go Canes
