Look, the Mario honeymoon on this board should be over. He had a great couple weeks before early NSD landing guys that never would have come here to play for Manny, but make a ton of sense as Miami type recruits. I’m happy he’s the coach. I believe in him. I’m done falling for blind optimism. You should too.
Is Mario going to win every recruiting battle? Not until we start winning games. Is he going to sign any coach he wants? Not until we start winning games.
But to be fair, he should largely get a pass on recruiting this year. He’s only had a month and a half to convince guys he was recruiting to Oregon for years to come down to Miami. Not to mention he’s doing it with half a staff. Next years class we will (hopefully) see the Mario affect. But it would be smart for all of us to reel back expectation. It’s like we said for every other coach before Mario, win and they’ll come.
