What thread do you want it in? I might be able to move it
I deleted the one here and posted it where I wanted it.

He is in charge of ensuring Mario's *** is appropriately kissed. He is also responsible for telling you who and when to place the correct amount of blame. Any more details will require him to DM.

I'd also say that I can't think of another high level P4 team to hire 4 coordinators in a couple years WITHOUT them bringing their guy(s) to be on the staff as position coaches. Correct me if I'm wrong but I don't believe Steele, Gattis, Dawson or Guidry got hired along an on-field staff member they wanted to bring along.
Guidry got Chevis but that’s really it.
The rest, bingo. It’s just not a smart process, no matter if it works or not (it hasn’t worked).
Anyone that refutes it has ulterior agendas they want to push. So be it.
Steele was unemployed when we hired him.
Gattis had personality issues, and was coming from a Michigan staff that included the son of the head coach (Jay Harbaugh), a Michigan alum (Mike Hart), and a guy who got fired in the whole IT/coverup scandal possibly related to Connor Stalions (Matt Weiss).
Dawson - agreed.
Guidry brought Chevis.
Agreed on GattisGuidry did not bring Chevis in when hired - a season later. This is my point - very rarely do you hire a coordinator without allowing them to bring along a guy of theirs at hire. Maybe it's a function of who Mario brought in - i.e. guys from G5/lower tier schools who had no leverage dictating staff (Dawson/Guidry), or a guy who was an old timer who didn't give a crap (Steele) or a guy who was not well liked by anyone (Gattis). As soon as Mario opens these coordinator hires to a pool of big boy DCs, he's gonna have to give a little and do something he's not accustomed to - allowing the guy to dictate a hire or 2.
Still think Gattis hire is the all time fumble of Mario's considering his exhaustive screening process.
Because the person who gets paid to make it easy prefers to work harder not smarter.Why is nothing easy?
Agreed on Gattis
Didn’t really want to believe Mario was stupid enough to look at TVD in Lashlees offense and think Gattis was the move but he was
Then trotting him out there injured repeatedly
In hindsight absolute coaching malpractice
Steele was unemployed when we hired him.
My guess is that it did and he minimized it.
What I heardI'm not even referring to a good Xs/Os/personnel fit. I'm referring to the fact that it was not a secret that Gattis was not the man at Michigan (others had more input into the offense) and he was a toxic dude. That stuff was known before Mario hired him. How Mario's exhaustive screening process didn't turn this up is beyond me. My guess is that it did and he minimized it.
Meh. Personal stuff that I don’t know answers to and listening to second and third hand information means nothing to me tbhI'm not even referring to a good Xs/Os/personnel fit.

Yeah, he had taken position at Maryland. Believe he started on Friday and left early the next week. So, incorrect describing him as unemployed.I thought Miami hired from Maryland? Or was working for them but didn't sign yet

And look, I know one of the stipulations was Willy Martinez. I get it, I think he flat out stinks. I’m not saying Banks was the savior, although he was a solid candidate imo.
But this doesn’t apply to merely Banks. This happened last go around, and this happened Year 1 when he hired Steele after hiring assistants. We called it an All-Star staff when it was merely an accumulation of washed and disinterested individuals with no cohesion.
Last year, again no cohesion. What’s the definition of insanity? Doing the same thing over and over, but expecting a different result. And no one knows insanity quite like Miami Hurricanes fans after the better part of two decades.
If you’re given (pretty much) all the money you need to make an attention-grabbing hire on that side of the ball, why would you implement roadblocks? Why self-inflict complications?
It just doesn’t make sense to me no matter how you spin it, and makes me question if quite honestly, he knows what he’s doing.
OH gotcha, so coaching doesn't count at all1 player changed all that and look what happened when Cam sat out the second half…… it sure didn’t look like the number one offense when of the country
I was alluding to the defense, I should’ve mentioned that.
Awwww, shut the **** up and get me Jim Leavitt on the phone.Death
Taxes
And CIS’ obsession with Will ******* washed *** Muschamp every time its time to hire a DC
