Mario is NOT and NEVER has been an OC or a DC. Dan Lanning at Oregon has been a DC for several years and is involved with his defense. If his offense plays well or doesn't play well, he doesn't get the blame or the praise. Ryan Day at Ohio State has been an OC and calls his offense. He doesn't get the blame or the praise for his defense.

If you want to to criticize personnel, then fine. He doesn't coach those players. If you blame Mario, then you're basically saying we need superior talent on defense to beat mediocre offenses.

If you want to blame Mario, then you blame him for the hires. Just remember, you, me, and everyone else were praising the hires last year. To blame him now, is just hypocrisy.
Mario was OC for Taggart at Oregon.
 
There isn’t nearly enough talent on this defense. That’s on Mario. Our entire secondary runs 4.7.
This pet is true but there aren’t enough elite to go around each cycle. You can’t get them all and it forced us to get trash cans in the secondary. The evals failed him cause he missed on bigger fish.
