Mario went to Bama after being at miami for a month lol. its a business. hes from the area, played there, coached there, his family is there. it makes sense if he chooses to go back home (it isn't like UGA Is a second rate program either or a step down).
also, your wife/family is absolutely a big priority. you guys either aren't married or wont be Long if this is how you consider what they want. he was at Oregon after USCe. going to Miami gets them closer to the east coast where they're from. if he gets an offer from UGA, I can't blame a guy for wanting to go home. Mario wanted to go home too.
