Mario Cristobal on GT loss: “You’ve gotta be a grown man and own it”

[DMoney]

Mario Cristobal met with reporters after the Canes' 28-23 loss to Georgia Tech. Here is everything he had to say:

On the Georgia Tech pass defense: They did a good job playing coverage with some of our stuff. We failed at some routine plays. It falls on coaches and players equally, but we had some drops in critical situations. Coverage wise, they mixed some things up. The bye week certainly helped them find some tells that helped with the underneath stuff.

They were keeping...

Our OL, I thought played a pretty good game. Ward had ALOT of time in the pocket and though they didn't blitz a ton, gave Ward a clean pocket for most of his drop backs.

How we come out against WF with 2 weeks to prepare, at home, on Senior day will tell me all i need to know about Mario. All this “coach speak” sounds good. But these next 13 days is what matters most in this profession. We lost. It happens. How do we respond now? That’s how we will know if we have taken the next step as a program.

Hey Mario! You & your staff were out coached yet again. The coaching on this team is average at best. ******* embarrassing!

I didn’t have a problem with going for it on 4th down at all, we have been aggressive all year and we shouldn’t stop now. I hated the playcall on the one where we rolled cam out opposite of his throwing shoulder, i thought we could have just ran it and got 1 yard

Fletcher not stopping and getting the 1 yard he kept running up field making it a harder throw and catch for himself was annoying i wish martinez was in for that play

What you need to explain is why you gave Lance Guidry a raise instead of finding somebody more competent?

Ok troll.

This is all hot air from Mario and I like him as a coach. 8 million a year would help me take losses much better too. I’d hit the same talking points. Be a man, grow up, blah blah blah. Where’s my money?!?!

Let’s see how the team responds coming off a bye week. We know how this goes…

 

[rascon]

do we have a system like the PFF (but not the PFF) that quantifies how each individual player did in each game?).

We see 1, 7 and 0 either out of position or not making good plays but I’m curious if the staff has any quantifiable data in addition to the film to evaluate who plays and who doesn’t.

Or is it just team film review to make everyone see what they could do collectively and minimize spotlight on certain individuals? Sounds like practices are more about employing game plan (and no problem with that), but why does it take forever for us to make switches when players aren’t playing well?

GT did the exact same thing they did last year with just a different DC. Keep everything in front of you and choose your spots to blitz. The only difference this year was TVD wasn’t throwing into the deep coverages throwing picks. But we ran the ball much better and didn’t let them control the ball quite as much. How we wasn’t prepared for this is mind boggling. They don’t have the athletes to play our skill guys so it was obvious the game plan would remain the same . They were also alllowed to grind the ball and clock . We were put in quick sand, fought like **** to get out and we know how that ends.

 

[Problem2]

Typical coach speak, nothing different then when they were winning lol.

Neither good nor bad

 

[ageezy]

i feel dirty pointing the finger at cam ... but there are plays to be had underneath ... ALOT of plays to be had

 

[Elmer Leghorn]

We got out couched by a mile

This. Or If we go off the rails I’ve see enough in year 3.

"You never pay any attention to the outside stuff"

Unfortunately, this is also Guidry's philosophy on defending the run

 

[WestGA'Cane]

So when's the last time a coach was blatantly called out like Booger called out Mario?

 

[WesternMDCane]

“they got the ball off the edge”… well no ****, and not one adjustment was made, still had defensive ends crashing inside
