i just think his recruiting skills and work ethic matters less and less today and more about the bag (work ethic is what essentially separates him from others as a recruiter). the class he brought in this year was an example of that and had nothing to do w the win loss record from the year before.
Yup!
he should have been let go the moment we didnt make the CFP.
He's not even recruiting lol have heard he's not even been involved the slightest in any talks with portal kids. So he's gone.
The fact that Mario get praise for this around here is silly. It’s not like it makes great coordinators line up to coach under him or something.
Helps with future coaches coming to work here, just my two pennies.
I don’t think he is ever involved in recruiting because I have never heard the dude named mention not 1 time
Does it really? Having an elite program and paying well seems to be more important
Yeah I am sure those are weighted higher in a decision making process for a coach, but relationships certainly aren't a zero on that scale either. Relationships matter in coaching, and if major programs are all in the same ballpark on pay and prestige, then the tertiary factors do become important. And I think it's pretty clear that Mario does not have a great workplace experience vibe as it is. That's all I'm saying.
I think Mario learned that approach from Saban, who never really "fired" his assistants. They just were quietly "replaced" or "left" for other jobs. Kirby kinda moves the same.
He will be gone after the bowl game. Honestly timing may help with a few of the names. It’s frustrating **** but it is what it is at this point. I’d be shocked if we didn’t see a former HC as DC. I know who’s doing the db evals, ill just leave it there….
He does. He's more of a penetrator - pause - though, right? Still would love to get a big fat guy at DT.
It looks like some Marshall and Tulane type of evals
Only difference with Saban and Kirby is that their assistants were getting poached for better jobs lol. We're hoping that someone wants to take our scraps.
Are you happy with who is doing the evals?
Nah. I'm talking guys like Coley, Chaney, Golding, Applewhite, Addae, etc. They never really were publicly canned, but everybody knew they were pushed out.
Chuck Pagano.
On defense yes, there were multiple threads about Dawson being a potential candidate for places. Also, wouldn’t surprise me to Beard get more traction other places if he keeps doing what he’s doing in that WR room.
