Joe Salave’a

Shocking a coach is bringing most of his staff to his next gig. But we have people griping 247 that it hasn’t been announced lol. There’s always some drama for some of you guys.

I said on the CL show expect more Oregon staff members to come. Other than Oc, Dc and maybe a few more spots the Miami staff will be the former Oregon staff.

The 60's , 70's and early 80's were the territory days.... NWA was the Major Wrestling org. recognized by most of the Southern and Southwest and Mid-Atlantic territories ... WWF controlled the Northeast and AWA controlled some of the upper midwest and Cali.... Each Territory has Champs from within but Most recognized Flair , Race, Rhoads or whoever held the NWA title as the world champ...
I grew up in the Northeast so WWF was my thing but I used to get Fla Championship Wrestling on a UHF channel so I'd watch that when I could... Later on Cable came around and I got to watch Georgia Championship Wrestling on TBS...
I think I covered most of this in the past....LOL!!!!.... I still watch wrestling now... One part of my childhood I won't let go of... :ROFLMAO: :ROFLMAO:

Good stuff. I grew up in Ga but was born in NY. Would watch NWA/WCW during the year and then catch WWF during my summers in the city. The good ole days.

Well, Oregon is actually not a top tier program when it comes to paying staff. They pay well, but not like what we're paying now.

Secondly, in three seasons he won 12 games, won a Rose Bowl, went to a Fiesta Bowl IIRC, played in the Pac-12 CG all three times, and had Oregon in the hunt for the CFB playoff. Keep in mind, he took over a program that had won 4 and 6 games the previous two years, and had a losing record in the Pac-12 in both seasons. People seem to think he took over a team in good shape or something. He turned them around immediately and was still building. So let's respect what he built WITH the coordinators that he chose for Oregon, regardless if you were impressed or not.

I agree he needs to nail the hires. And I am sure he will. Frankly, the longer it takes the better off we are IMO. I think he knows who is coming. And I think they are still coaching right now because they are coaching at winning programs or in the NFL. He's big game hunting IMO.

Excellent post. And I agree.

So without being announced we've deduced:

Salave'a - tagged in a tweet by a recruit & seen on campus
Mirabal - seen out recruiting with Cristobal
Smith - tagged in a tweet by a recruit
McClendon - seen on campus and seen on the Miami website


To be fair our HC search was odd, so I don't know why I was expecting our position coach search not to be. :ROFLMAO: :ROFLMAO: :ROFLMAO:

Pardon my ignorance but who is Smith?
 
Why are we upset about Salave'a? What's the prevailing group think on this? I don't feel like reading through 24 pages.

This dude's resume seems just fine. We need someone who can teach multiple techniques. This guy seems to fit the bill--he has coaching and playing experience, and success, regarding the same. Is he the best candidate? I have no idea. I think we can safely assume that Mario was thorough in originally hiring him at Oregon. Assuming Mario is bringing him back, Mario probably liked his work.

Aren't we going to base out of an odd front? I feel like we would be getting an Edge/OLB coach to assist in handling the front.

Are we trusting Mario or nah? Are we giving him our trust initially or are we making him earn it?

My take:

We’ve been lead to believe we were:
- paying top dollar for assistants
- assembling an elite staff of coaching assassins
- Mario was fielding endless interest from the best of the best

NOT:
- he’s bringing the Oregon staff with him

Multiple things can be true at the same time, and there could be some excellent hires from the Oregon staff with the OC and DC being the ones he MUST hit on (seems like Mario is bringing a collection of both, and clearly not the OC/DC who none of us wanted anyway)

I find it funny that people are getting antsy with people getting antsy….. because it is exactly what @Brooklyndee warned everyone about saying to let it play out because listing a bunch of rumored names was only going to lead to disappointment when all the big names or ideas thrown out didn’t assemble like Mario created the Avengers….

Reality: let it play out and enjoy the holidays…

- I think your perception is fair. We have been made to believe that we have a massive budget.
- What makes an elite coaching assassin in college football? This is a whole separate conversation. We would agree, however, that recruiting ability and coaching ability are the two major factors
- What's to say that guys like Partridge, etc. aren't interested? They might make public comments, but we never really know the truth until actions are taken. Maybe Mario sees Salave'a as the number one target.
- We don't know if he's bringing the whole Oregon staff at this point. To be fair, some dudes on that staff are **** good coaches. We also need at least some continuity. We need some recruiting continuity; we need some coaching continuity. How much is necessary? I don't know.
- You make all reasonable points.
- I'm getting antsy too--I want my Canes to be great again! In reality, the most I can do is continue my passion of the team and renew my season tickets.

Merry Christmas!

Yeah, the "Tampa Sportatorium" was just some random storefront building on a busy street in Tampa. Hilarious. I remember as a kid thinking "I want to go to that arena" and then finding out it didn't really exist...

****, that place looks like it can hold 50 people tops, looks like a townhouse. I grew up watching wrestling when they used to film it at the Lakeland Civic Center.

maybe if fans didnt believe every fantasy coach pick that was mentioned on a message board and then passed around by journalists who read the board, they wouldn't be mind screwed all the time.

Mario will get several mulligans as far staff as attrition goes, all coaches do. Recall when He took over at Oregon it was basically a turnkey job, Taggart left Him a nice staff behind. No coach gets it perfect the 1st time, remember Saban started off with Major Applewhite & Kevin Steele as His coordinators LOL.

Merry Christmas!!

We are on the same page and while I generally took Brooklyn’s advice and skimmed the threads vs being overly engaged, I am also getting a bit impatient.

I want the Canes to be great, don’t care about the feelings of the other teams and am not a coaching expert.

Back to the subject of the thread, if this big cat can get us players and develop them, let’s ******* go!
