DC Candidates

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.


And right on cue, my stalker appears.

Stop being so angry that nobody likes you enough to share information with you. Go out and make some friends.

He’s the self-anointed George Gallet of the message board. The man knows all.
 
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.


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.

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.

Guidry brought Chevis.

Guidry 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.

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

I'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 tbh
 
Why is nothing easy?

Yeah, he had taken position at Maryland. Believe he started on Friday and left early the next week. So, incorrect describing him as unemployed.


He was ******* effectively unemployed. He had no staff to hire anyone from. I'm sure he got so much accomplished between his HR orientation and the weekend.

Sorry that I'm speaking in such absolutes, but you are clueless.
 
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.

respectfully, that is NOT the definition of insanity. insanity is repeating the same MISTAKE and expecting a different result. diferencia muy grande, meng

/carry on.
 
1 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.
OH gotcha, so coaching doesn't count at all

which is why UGA, Ohio State, Bama all have more talented offensive personnel, but were less efficient than us

and is also why SMU has less talented players and performed better on defense than us?

did I get that right, it's because of the players and the players only?
