I give Mario the benefit of the doubt until the team steps on the field next season. Once they start playing games, we will know what kind of coaches we have. When Clint Hurt was at UM, he was our best recruiter, and that includes having a great eye for talent. I am sure that he has grown as a coach in the years since he left. Regardless of what some would say, NFL coaches are generally much much better coaches than college coaches. For that reason, Hurt probably isn’t coming just like Schumann will not get any NFL offers.
Aside from Xs and Os, IMHO, the Canes need defensive coaches who can teach the players the basics of tackling, gap responsibility, discipline, etc. if our Canes team mastered these basics, many of our games last season wouldn’t have been as close as they were. Moreover, recruitment and deployment of defensive personnel was also a monumental failure under CMD
