As long as you’re identifying mistakes and getting them corrected

It’s never going to be fool proof

Don't disagree but there also needs be continutity as well.

The statement's kind of odd to me because i feel like thats the first thing Mario would talk about when interviewing Coaches/Off the field roles even before schemes etc.

I guess we’ll have to suffer more kicks to the corner being returned for huge gains, instead of letting AB kick it out of the end zone, at least based on the tone of his response. How wonderful. Makes total sense. 🤬

Continuity is very important, I personally want Guidry and Dawson back for sure.

I’m not just talking about coordinators, it’s everyone in the program. Academic advisors to Analysts to everyone in between

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

Just like in recruiting, no one gets hires 100%. In my experience, the best get 30% of their hires as top quality, 40% as acceptable level and still miss on 30%. There may be more transparency in football vs other industries because you can see part of the job description expectations on the field. But there are so many intangibles it's really really hard to get it right. Also, remember that if you have a lemon like Gattass, the previous organization is willing to lie to you to get him out of their group. That happens a lot.

My point is, when rebuilding an entire operation like Mario is doing, even the greatest organizational leaders ever have to fail forward sometimes.

I don't understand the point you're trying to make.

Lashlee has been going through his own journey of trading up. Just look at the Miami kids he took. A couple of those transfers are performing at a high level -- Brashard and Roberts, arguably JHH. Then you've got a whole bunch of JAGs. Knighton, Keyshawn, Brinson, Harvey, Jakai Clark, But he's a good coach and SMU is investing heavily in their program, so he's getting that program into much better shape than when he inherited it. Good for him.

How's that somehow a negative on Mario?

These goofs think Lashlee took Miami's entire roster and made them a playoff team.

The point was they were cast-off and now some of them have been coached up
