This hire needs to be made sooner than later. Recruits will want to know. Especially those in portal

definitely believe that's why mario fired guidry now so he can at least pitch change to potential portal targets (and current players)

Wasnt it reported he tried to and santucci rejected him? Anyways seems like santucci is going to TAMU and not here from what gaby just said on 247 so we probably should not worry about him as the dc hire.

We only have a chance at santucci if elko passes on him. He’s worked with elko at 2 different stops.

Any Clayton white takers?

Mario would have to come out publicly and say something or admit or change his ways for somebody to come in and be the guy we need. NOBODY good is going to come be our DC and deal and work with Mario

In trying to grab a chicken - he tries too hard, squeezes too tightly to control the chicken - and strangles it.

Analyzing a study a while back - there was a principle I think may somehow fit here.

The Soviets in the 70's and 80's controlled every tiny aspect of their military doctrine - once the plan of attack was planned - there was to be zero deviation.

What troubled the Soviets was that the "dam-ed(sp)" Americans didn't even follow their own plans - with individual soldiers taking the initiative at every opportunity - thus it does us no good to study American military doctrine."

Mario has his system/plan/doctrine - and some elements are good - but the controls are too tight. It's too inflexible. Too restraining. Zero intuition, zero creativity.

Cam was a master of adapting, creating, and change-ups. Oddly, this freedom of his and adaptability of his stuck out and made him a star.

3rd and 43? Mario would have run up the middle - it's a safe call - to enable a punt.

There are lucky coaches and unlucky coaches. The lucky coaches are also the bold coaches. They don't always play the percentages - not when there's a fair chance of winning a game by some risk at intuitively indicated opportunities. Mario is all formula and percentages.

Our defense this year sucked - players wound up too tight - jumping at the feints - overrunning plays - and as confused as infants in a tiddy bar.

Coach 'em up and let them PLAY. We get highly rated players - and they get to Miami and suddenly can't play?

Harder work doing the same **** doesn't improve things - it makes it worse.

He intends well - but "workinig harder" won't get it done.

Working smarter is how you get better.

Mario should somewhat loosen his grip - hire a man to get it done - and get the **** out of the way.
 
THIS GUY SAYS WE WILL GET A BIG NAME

Travis Williams from Arkansas could be intriguing. Was here for three months as the LB coach. That Arkansas team has so much less talent than the rest of the SEC and it showed against Ole Miss and LSU, but overall he schemed it up well. However, the Ole Miss game alone is worthy of throwing his name in the trash can. But I hope it's at least considered.

Lane Kiffen. Who lost to Kentucky.

Angry Ibis said:
Mario is 84-76 as a head coach. So he being a polarizing individual in college football circles as a hard ***, micromanager, who is narrowly focused, etc. is not yielding elite results.

He is his not an elite coach. Why are we expecting elite results? There are only handful of elite coaches. Mario was to keep us in that 10 win range, with the hope every few years it came together with chance to win it all. If you were expecting urban Meyer or nick saban results, then you set your self up for failure.
Angry Ibis said:
Mario gets credit for Cam and the #1 offense - he gets an F then for Emory Williams being inept in that #1 offense.
Click to expand...
Nope. That's on Emory and Dawson. So which one is it? We want Mario to meddled in offense or let's his coordinator coordinate. Mario hold blame bringing Emory into program if quality player we want. Bad evaluation. It's happens.
Angry Ibis said:
He gets an F for the defense. He gets an F for the special teams gaffs that lost us games.

Nope on Guidry. One again. Do we want Mario to meddle, or let's his coordinators coordinate.

Angry Ibis said:
He gets an F for the clock management.
Click to expand...
I don't remember any Matt Eberflus clock management blunders. So I have no comment. I think this just another thing people bring to discredit Mario
Angry Ibis said:
An F for blowing a a 21-0 lead with the playoffs on the line.

I dont remember seeing Mario confuse back there in the seconday. Players need nut up, guidry needed to better at teaching his scheme.
Angry Ibis said:
An F for kicking the FG at Cuse and an F for not running it 3 times from the 7, then kicking the FG and losing by 1.

I agree you on syracuse. I believe they should have went for it too.
Angry Ibis said:
He gets an F for his media management of the Cam Ward decision.

Meh. Now we nit-picking.

Overall, the responsibility fall back to him for the program success because he is the head coach. Defense cost us 3 games and a playoff berth. Mario job is to find the right person to fix defense this next year. Now if don't believe he can do that, that's a valid concern.

Making players think instead of just being instinctual robs the blue chip players of speed and explosiveness. Same issue with DNo
