Mario Cristobal: "If you can't identify and recruit, your value to a program is very little."

[DMoney]

The Miami Hurricanes are one win away from Charlotte. Below is everything Mario Cristobal said as the team gets ready for Syracuse:

On Syracuse’s offense: The running back [LeQuint Allen] is a really good player. He's a lot like who we faced last week. He's bigger, he's strong. Just one cut, make-you-miss-and-go guys. He does not go down easily. He's complemented by a very big offensive line. Really physical. We were just studying their interior right before coming in. They get some...

What if you coach like an old man’s broken ****

Those are shots fired at people within the program

You'll still win a ton of games if you have the best players.

If you have average players, even the best coach in the universe won't crack double digit wins.

Soooo…let the Day hype ramp up to the next level

You're probably 10-1 and ranked #6.

20+ years of nothing and people still don't get this. It was always about upgrading the roster, not about "outscheming" people.

This is why I support Mario. It’s all about trench play and talent acquisition. No other coach would get the level of support from the boosters and the Board of Trustees that he has. Even if you’re not a fan of Mario, this is our best shot.

I’m still waiting for someone to show me a team that won a national championship by purely out-scheming another. Look at Georgia dismantling TCU or Michigan dominating Washington—they’re winning with superior talent and physicality, not just clever play-calling. Everyone’s favorite, coach kiffin, has the softest sec team I’ve ever seen with the most talent.

That being said go out and dominate Syracuse.

does SMU have average players or great players?

Talk about being oversimplistic. There's a little more to it than "they average or they great".

Above average players, weak schedule, good staff (this year).

Yeah but the hype is all from the game field. Has he elevated his play on Greentree to the status of all-american?

If he only performs on game day but fails to reach AA status on Greentree, then he's a JAG.

Indiana might have something to say about this BUT I agree with your overall point. Having big time players is the key to success in college.

Those are shots fired at people within the program

Who hired them?

It's always been both

Not a good look for the guy who interview and hired them is it?

Al lot of former UM players are on that Team, so what changed?

At spots on offense yes. That smu defense lmao.

Who said anything changed? I pointed out how mindnumbingly simplistic it is to ask if a football team has “average players or great players”.

Never had a job before, eh?
