Agree 100%. Urban had some extremely physical teams. Shoot his most famous player was a QB who couldn't throw and just approached the game like a Neanderthal.

So much of this is semantics. All of Urban's championship teams were very physical, but to a guy like the Coach-FIU-Fired, they unquestionably fit his definition of "finesse."

I don't really care at this point what we do on offense ultimately, but between now and whenever the Coach-FIU-Fired has "his guys" it is possible to transition philosophies without torturing everybody.

Coaches are who they are though, they do their crap the way they know how and are all troglodytes when it comes to understanding the simplest part of the their job such as what my current roster needs to do to be successful.

To me there is a difference between “as good as gone” and “gone.”

As good as gone means highly likely, where there are very little circumstances in which the direction “him being gone“ can change, BUT nonetheless, those circumstances exist.

Gone means what is means. He gone. It’s official like a whistle. There is no return.

As of now I can’t tell if anyone, including Cribby, is truly able to decipher between the two.

Sure, sounds anal, sounds crazy, sounds ridiculous perhaps and maybe it is. But at the end of the day, I want what Wisconsin has, a vacancy and a subsequent filling with a top notch OC and one thing is for certain, Miami is NOT at that point, and at a time when it should be and soon NEED to be.

Agreed. Unless I missed an update, this is what D$ said about Gattis:
Everybody I talk to around the program is acting like Gattis is gone.

That doesn't necessarily mean Gattis has been fired. It's conjecture and speculation. Maybe Mario has a completely different perspective than the people around the program who D$ is speaking with.

Agreed.

And while a lot of us realize this is semantics (and mopes will focus on technicalities), I do not think Mario will "officially" fire Gattis (but will happily "let him go" with a good recommendation letter) unless the guy is still showing up to work each day a month from now.

So staff is telling recruits Gattis and Ponce are coming back. Is this a common thing when said coaches are suppose be on the way out ?

Last year at this time, we were telling WR recruits that B-Mac would be coaching them.

Not all that worried.

its just weird to me to send gattis out to recruits when hes on his way out. so they sign in a week or so and hes then gone after telling them to sign w miami in their home?

Yeah a lot of the offensive recruits are saying they being told Gattis and Ponce returning. I think it strange but at same time things could change after they sign and a new job opportunity can open up and they leave

Do we have reason not to trust @Cribby on this? This is how Mario operates. He’s shown this multiple times. There are people who move fast, there are people who move slow and then there is Mario. Josh Gattis will not be the OC next season.

I’m not questioning Cribby, I just know things can change fast and nothing is ever 100% done until it’s official. Mario could of planned to fire Gattis for weeks and then all of a sudden something happens and he has a change of heart. That’s just major sports for you, things are always fluid.

Lol at this. You don’t plan to fire someone for weeks and then wake up one day and say “meh f^ck it, let’s run it back.”

You're right.

One minute a guy is offering to leave the board if we pay him enough money. The next minute he refuses to respond to good-faith inquiries...

As I said before, I am reserving judgment until everything is done but the next month or so will tell us a lot about whether Mario is going to succeed here. We have seen enough **** over the last 20 years where we know what it’s not supposed to look like and how to spot a **** early on and the goodwill from last year is gone after the disaster of last year.
