Honest Thoughts on Mario as a Recruiter in the Age of NiL

Deboer will be just fine , he won’t be Saban but nobody in history will do that again . He was also handled a much bigger mess inside the building than most know. But his record and resume is much better than 99 percent of coaches. Including taking Washington to a national title game. Mario isn’t in the same stratosphere of that guy as a HC.
I agree on Deboer. he has proven he wins everywhere. he will probably outlast Kirby, it seems like the wheels are falling off for Kirby.

Again it makes no sense I'm not talking about recent success as in these guys have been good the last few years. You are talking about guys who have been in a spot for 1 year. How did that work out for Mel Tucker? Nobody you mentioned outside of Deboer has done jack.
Mario went 5-7 in year one with the team Manny had at 7-5. With Money and Staff budget.

Do you really think the ROI on Mario’s first three years is anything but another example of less with more?

Do you think our schedule coupled with our NIL and Cam Ward should under any circumstances resulted in us not making the ACCCG?
 
I can tell none of you are in any type of sales. Being good at sales is winning deals where you are close or even a little behind what someone else has to offer. There is always a place for that and relationship building no matter how much money gets involved.
Watch the finish.
 
Two issues here that might have gotten lost in all this....we have to keep the kids from those two classes, and they have to actually pan out.

That's different than recruiting to me.

"we have to keep the kids from those two classes"

Unfortunately I don't think that's how college football works anymore for anyone
You will have attrition....that's just the way it is now.

"they have to actually pan out"

Agree 100%

If we win 9-10 games a year from here until who knows when yes. There is no ROI yet for the guys you are blowing because they have been placed for a year. ROI is a term normally used for long term items. I'm disappointed as **** we aren't in the ACCCG but I'm pleased with 10 wins I've only witnessed that once in my adult life. If he keeps that up yes.

I have no issue with 10 wins in theory but we needed to get in the ACCCG as well. That’s a failure. Many of us talked about a 10!win minimum but also said a respectable showing in the ACCCG. Regardless, I do have an issue with the last month. You can’t go 9-0 and then do what we did. Mario is literally the definition of less with more.

That's fine, just don't hype guys who have been with their schools for 1 season as saviors.

Lol DeBoer has a track record at Washington and Fresno State. Lashlee is on what, his 2nd or third year? Fran Brown at Cuse Year 1 and Manny at Duke Year 1 trounce Mario at UM year 1.

I never said those guys are saviors. I said Mario does less with more than them.

Again Lashlee was not in your OP and I gave you Deboer. You still have no idea what those 1 year guys will do you are counting chickens with guys who could win 6 games next year or 9 who knows.
 
Yes if it isn’t O-line, I don’t trust him to develop or evaluate
We are about to hit a draft where everyone on the offensive side of the ball increased their draft stock outside of maybe Brown. Defense right now I get it but we are about to have tangible proof of development.

I question your reading comprehension, as I specifically stated this covered his HIGH SCHOOL RECRUITS. Not transfers or JUCO players.

But to answer your question from BAMA'S recruiting classes during the same time frame, they had 27 players drafted while Georgia had 28. Notice a slight difference?
Yeah also noticed the unnecessary disrespect. That’s cool tho. Lots of angry people out there.
