So wouldn't him taking any job here that doesn't include that title be a step-down?

Yes, but Mario can probably match his pay there or make it interesting. It really depends on what the coach wants. He might be okay with only CBs.

where did this raymond talk come from? any substantiated rumor at all or just a bunch of fanboys wanting him?

important to distinguish because those same people will claim mario whiffed on him if we don't land him, even if there's no actual chance or interest by either party

People are trolling bro. He's not coming and there's no rumor of him coming lol. Put it in the Ponce bucket
 
Addae just came in because there were too many bodies in the UGA DB room? I can see him being ok with a guy like DVD, but Raymond?

You keep going with this myth. There was no "Mario planned to stick with T-Rob", as Mario had not even had the time to meet with his UM assistant coaches, let alone evaluate whether he wanted to retain any of them.

First, Mario doesn't have a great history with T-Rob. It's not like his loyalty to Mirabal. There was no Day 0 pre-existing plan to retain T-Rob.

Second, Mario's hiring was announced on Monday, December 6th. Mario's introductory press conference was on Tuesday, December 7th. Raymond's hiring by the Gaytors was announced on Wednesday, December 8th. There was, quite literally, no time for Mario to have arrived at some sort of "retain T-Rob" decision, particularly when you look at how much time it took him to hire an unemployed DC (Steele). Come on, now.

Third, the whole concept of "Mario planned to stick with T-Rob" is not supported by the way that Mario handled his "retention" or "hiring". It was never announced. ****, T-Rob was the MOST qualified of the remaining UM coaches from 2021, he should have been the FIRST announced "retention hiring". But Mario never did so, and it's because he always knew that T-Rob was considering and would take another great offer over staying at UM. Now, in addition to that, T-Rob lied about his intentions and decisions, but that came later. Even in December, Mario knew that T-Rob was likely to bounce back to a good SEC lateral job offer, which is EXACTLY why Mario never announced that he retained T-Rob.

Finally, the idea that "there was no job opening and no conversation further" is also not supported by what actually happened, or even the timeline. Mario (and Miami) fielded a TON of calls from interested coaches, and Mario DID return some of these calls. At the time Mario called Raymond, Mario had no idea if any of the remaining UM coaches wanted to stick with him, and he had no idea if he wanted to keep any of them. He spoke to Raymond and would have interviewed Raymond and eventually offered him a job IF THERE HAD BEEN MORE TIME. Mario doesn't love T-Rob. But in the 24 hours between Mario's press conference and Raymond's UiF announcement, that's when Raymond finalized his deal with UiF. If the substance of Mario's conversation was "no job opening and no conversation further", then the subject of Raymond's pending deal with the Gaytors never arises. But it did. Because there WOULD HAVE been a job opening if Raymond was willing to wait to inverview with Miami. But if Raymond did that, then he would have lost a sure-thing deal with UiF. And Raymond wasn't willing to do that.

It's not a "bid process". This isn't eBay. These were job offers. Raymond got a job offer from Gaypier, and he didn't want to wait for Mario to interview him while losing the Gaytor job offer. It's just that simple, and it has nothing to do with "getting more money" or some sort of a "bidding process".

Bird in the hand. Raymond took it. No big mystery. UM was the unfortunate victim of bad timing.
