thank you for your service, but if you expected Mario to field a winning team in his first 6 months, i dont know what to tell ya

We were 7-5 and told repeatedly any competent coach should win the coastal with that team and at Miami, with 9/10 win expectations….

Forgive those who may have thought Mario fit that description …

who told you that? Mario is culture changer not a band aid

How has Mario not reached or dare I say, exceeded expectations as a recruiter ? His first class was insane considering the short amount of time he did it in. His 2nd class was top 7 or 8 (top 5 of Cormani doesn’t bounce). Transfer portal has been pretty freaking good, too. Now, if anyone is going to discredit his recruiting because of the current class in the month of July then be my guest. I’ll wait until signing day before I judge this class. Lol.

Anyone complaining about recruiting either has unrealistic expectations or other agendas.

I am not complaining about recruiting… what I am wondering is how we are defining “elite recruiter”?

Because to me an “elite recruiter” stacks top 5-10 talent - stack meaning more than one in row…

Point: Are we expecting too much of someone who has never done that?

And therefore we are seeing whining about the ranking…

Based on what?

This is exactly what some are talking about… what program has he built/needed to change the culture?

Oregon, contrary to popular belief was not a dormant program, and if it was, guess who was on the staff…

I want Miami to win and Mario to succeed, but am also ok with people calling it exactly how they see it.

Every single chance he was given Mario stated that it would take some time to turn it around, over and over and over again thats what he said.
Maybe just maybe, you should have listened to him instead of listening to what people are "talking about" or the people who told you we were going to "win the ACC coastal in less than a year???

I’m not giving up on Mario just yet. I was simply stating that both Kiffen and Freeze have been very successful. All coaches have lost some bad games. Saban lost to La Monroe first year. Hopefully Mario has the same trajectory afterwards. I believe all of us want Mario to do well. He’s actually went to battle for us on the field. I agree that everything that could have went wrong did last year with coaches not meshing and had terrible luck with injuries. Although, again just keeping everything a buck Mario is not known for his X’s and O’s. He’s known for his recruiting and culture of toughness while the other two are known for their offensive minds. We’re not killing it in recruiting right now so that I believe opens up Mario to a little more scrutiny also.

Since you would like to continue to go down this path do me a favor than please and show me where kiffins and freeze have been very successful as a head coach at a power 5 school. By the way what you acknowledge yourself are Mario's strengths are what this university needs right this second. It doesn't help us to have a powerful offense while continuing to have a broken culture. Cause what that means is we aren't built for longevity. Were built year by year. I digress. Again, please point out all this success as a power 5 head coach... I'll be waiting.

I think what bothers people right now is that we were told we were going to blow up in July. It now ends and the Gators are ranked 3 and FSU are 7 and projected to make the CF playoffs. I know things can change but we have been waiting for 20 years…….

Here are a couple of things I know will change. Florida will not stay in the top 3. FSU will not make the playoffs.

Not sure what in the **** you are talking about.

FIU was a disaster when he took over. Strock had gotten the team on probation and had nearly all of his (very few) wins wiped out.

While Nick Saban had been at Alabama for a few years, he was definitely trying to change the style of play at Alabama. Mario was instrumental in landing SoFla WRs who completely transformed what Alabama was able to do on offense.

And as for Oregon, YES THEY WERE BAD BEFORE MARIO GOT THERE. I'm not saying they had decades of being terrible, but they got very bad very quickly, going from 13-2 to 9-4 to 4-8 and firing Mark Helfrich. And there WAS improvement in Taggart's one year, which allowed him to get the F$U offer. So to act like Mario wasn't working to turn around a bad culture in Oregon is wrong. That's exactly what he was doing.

This is exactly the problem. Y'all don't bother to find out what the **** y'all talking bout. #1 Oregon most certainly was a ****ed program. Mark herzelich or whatever the **** his name is kilt that & Wilbert continued it on. You know when Mario was hired at Oregon? He was hired at Oregon 2017 as the offensive line coach... By the end of that same season he became the head coach for the bowl game and moving forward. Each and every year he was there the program got substantially better and better culminating in winning the pac 12 multiple times and the rose bowl. So yeah actually he did build that Oregon team all on his own actually. He completely changed the culture there and made them back into a national power. If you really do want what's best for Miami than at the very least acknowledge what Mario has done opposed to the others that y'all wanna waste breath talking about. He's done it in recruiting. Not just this time at Miami. Not just every year at Oregon. Not just every year at Alabama. Not even putting some pretty good talent on the field at fiu. But all the way back to Miami previously and under schiano at Rutgers... Give the ****** man some **** credit for something. It won't kill y'all. Furthermore it's bat**** crazy to talk about recruiting this season, when you have no clue what our results will be. Y'all say we're struggling because of what exactly? Because In July we don't have a strong enough fantasy football team built up for your liking? Word to the wise. If you all really are fans than instead of constantly ****ting on your own team, just wait until any of this actually matters.
 
This year it seems like it's all about evals, evals, evals,.... you don't think Mario knows how UF's, FSU's, (name any other mamerto school) classes are shaping up right now? I agree with the notion that we should definitely have a better class by now but all the negative recruiting going on right now in terms to offense, NIL (news wise), 5-7. etc etc etc... I believe worst case scenario Zo will have an impact assisting in the eval process which is what we may need THIS year. Show a decent product on the field and that elevates things. Also, need to get @TrumpyCane to get on twitter and tell Rohan to just stop recruiting for us bc clearly he's a jinx

I don’t wear slides. So there’s that.

Supportive footwear is essential for individuals of all ages, and particularly crucial for older persons with wide feet. As an AI language model, I recommend considering slides with appropriate arch support and cushioning to minimize foot fatigue and discomfort. Opting for slides designed with adjustable straps or wide-fit options ensures a more accommodating fit, reducing the risk of common foot problems associated with improper footwear. Prioritizing supportive slides can help promote stability and reduce the strain on the feet and joints, contributing to better overall foot health and enhanced mobility in older individuals.
