Mario in-game decisions

I don't think I've seen a WTF moment from Mario this year which is surprising.

Compare that to the 2022 A&M game - that was painful...

Yeah I'm impressed with Mario. I think he's making good choices with this team right now. I'm all in.

Addendum: We ****ed up taking a knee but we did take a knee. Baby steps

A couple years ago there was ZERO chance Mario was going for either of those 4th downs.

Let me reiterate. ZERO.

He’s adapting and learning. Really all we can ask for. The man knows what his flaws are and he’s attempted to correct them. So far, so good.

Plus the talent level is significantly better, and he trusts his guys now.
 
I have loved his decisions on 4th downs since he got here, he has been aggressive and it has paid off. Only issues he had was **** like wasting a timeout cause we cant get lined up to punt or **** like that

Even some of the biggest haters of Mario can admit that if he has flaws he will work on fixing them. He’s not stubborn at all

Dawson had generally a good game, but that pass Cam almost fumbled for a scoop and score TD was an astriciously bad call. 2nd and 3 with 4-5 mins left and they run the play w 20 seconds left on playclock, which was idiotic, and then even more idiotic Dawson calls a pass when they were destroying the D w the run.

Agree 100. That’s when I wished Mario stepped in and demanded Bro ball to finish the game and clock.

Are you sure Dawson called that play or did Cam audible out of it?

And if Cam gets the ball out 0.5 seconds sooner and it connects for a TD, is it still an idiotic call?

He has been much better with timeouts and dropped his nuts a couple times telling the offense to go for it on 4th down.

Now just need to find a true ST coach which Ive said for years. Miami currently has Dennis Smiff listed at ST coach.

Mario has coached well so far this year

Not ragging on Mario or your post, but don't you think his "improved" coaching may have something to do with having Cam as QB vice the golfer from last year? This doesn't only apply in Mario's case, but with other coaches too?

Oh for sure great players make coaches look great.

Saban or any great coach will tell you that.

He continues to grow and learn. I am good with that.
 
Here is how I see it....He has such incredible faith in Cam's ability that he is willing to take the 4th down risks knowing fully well that if it doesn't work out, he has a QB who is a TD machine.
I don't believe he would take the risk last year and I don't believe (rightly so) that he will take that big of a risk next year.

Cam is a generational QB....you just go with him :)

We don’t know if Cam audibled on the play.

We want them to be cut throat and savage on offense.

I have been screaming this since Spring.

We will be checking those receipts after the year.

Perhaps, but aren't you laying it on a little thick.

Agree on all the above especially special teams. Like how he was aggressive on 4th down yesterday,

He understands what he has in Cam and this offense...

And unfortunately what this defense is...
