I know a lot was made last year how Mario has a rolodex of coaches he could bring in and all that waiting for this… I honestly wondered if he overestimated his pull with potential assts as it seemed like he spent all his time recruiting. ‘
He really needs to cut bait with with Gattis, forget his network and just let all potential candidates know ahead of time that he will be more of a CEO type who is hands off the offense. Bring in a guy that can demonstrate flexibility in their scheme to accommodate the players on staff while also being a teacher of technique. That person wouldn’t have to recruit, just scheme, teach and call plays. Honestly, have Zo lead the hiring search for Mario - have to think that would yield more fruit.
Pipe dream - yes. But the longer he goes until he cuts bait, he is going to find himself in the same position as last year where recruiting becomes the priority and coach hires are filled after signing day or the week before.
