Mario on Joe Rose (Wake week)

So our talent is not up to par w Cal, Va Tech, & GT?

I have an earnest ? for this board, & it’s a ? I’ve asked for yrs which no one has been able to answer:

How do other coaches, like Mike Elko as an example, walk into a situation much dire than ours, & elevate their programs immediately, yet we need 15 yrs to accumulate talent to not struggle against the pedestrian ACC teams?

We were told we were unrealistic in 2022 while getting absolutely boat raced by the 18th best team in the state of Tennessee like it was our first year back off of the death penalty or some ****

When Cam Ward is no longer the starting QB at Miami, and the plays that actually get run reverts more to Dawson and his playcalling, I’m really curious how much regression we will see.

I’m glad that we are having success in 2024, but I’m still gonna bang the drum that Guidry and Dawson are not top 20 caliber coordinators, and that Mario could do way better.

How do u say roster to roster? Elko inherited a team that went 12-13 w/ the current players on the roster. U’re basing this off the recruitment of Jumbo, which u should, which proves that it wasn’t a talent issue vs. coaching issue. That’s my point.

It’s like when I was arguing w/ GSW about Steph, & they were ****ed J West kept him over Monte Ellis. I told them Steph is not the problem, the problem is how he’s being used. Kerr comes in, & all of a sudden Steph becomes a Demi-God shooter & play maker. Being around sports all of my life, having the absolute honor to pick the brains of some of the all time greats in both basketball, & football, I can unequivocally tell u most of the time when u have guys not reaching their potential, it’s coaching.

For every Ben Simmons, there’s a Jimmy Butler who got around the right coach that pushed him to be a borderline HOFer. Look at Chad Thomas under Golden vs. Richt for instance, & there’s millions of examples of this.

Dawson is benefiting from Cam. His best game is still the A&M game.

I still don’t see a coherent game plan that attacks the defense’s weakness like other offenses do to ours (eg seeing the rb motion out wide we know they are going after Kiko smh).

And Cam does a lot of audibles… I wonder what percentage of plays Dawson calls actually get run?
