Mario Recruiting Columbus Vs Manny Diaz

What’s ur point? Like seriously; if anything this shows Golden burned bridges & Diaz didn’t take advantage of the bridges mended by his predecessor.
Don’t take my word for it. Ask anyone who coached down here or was involved with the local high school programs. Golden was a hated man. It’s not just that he wasn’t recruiting kids, it’s that he actually managed to turn programs against Miami. Those bridges are still burnt. Bringing in Mario was a big step to rebuilding those relationships.
 
That 2013 offseason… can anyone clarify, Mario was briefly on staff here under Golden (or agreed to be) but as we know ended up at Bama. What was said is that he bounced because he and Golden got into because of a dust up Mario had with another coach at a local high school…? Is that bullsh*t and completely made up or true? If true does anyone know who the assistant was or which recruit was at the center of it?

idk bout a dust up but I thought I read that t rob and Mario got into it at a PB hs and golden then blamed Mario for doing what he did or something to that effect. either way, even if that didnt happen, I wouldn't stick around for golden if bama came calling for the same position.
 
Somewhat off topic but interesting Columbus-UM connection; Jeffrey Andreu Swasey is the strength and conditioning coach at Columbus.

"Columbus head coach Dave Dunn is going into his second run as the head hancho at Columbus, originally manning the position from 1999 to 2002. From his first time at Columbus to his college coaching experience, he has built a strong relationship with Cristobal and Mirabal.

"Whenever someone says they are on the phone with Dave Dunn while Mario is around, he picks up the phone and says "are we getting the Columbus kids or what and just hangs up," says Dunn. Not only is there a friendship with Cristobal, but he also has close ties to Mirabal stemming from coaching together at Columbus and Marshall University. Dunn says he talks to Mirabal about as much as he does his wife.

Besides the close relationship with the two, Dunn swears by their work ethic. "It's not a knock on the previous staff, but they just work on it harder," in regard to Miami further building the Columbus connection. "Again, no knock on the previous guy, but Manny Diaz visited the school one time. The first school Mario visited in the spring was us and it was a 5:30 AM workout."



HOW TF do you visit COLUMBUS ONE TIME GTFOH FRAUD. This **** is unacceptable. What the ****? ONE TIME.. ONE TIMEEEEEE???? @Coach Macho you
were right it's worse than we thought. It's a miracle that we even had top 20'classes smh

Not disagreeing w/ u. I know that factually; both Shannon & Golden did some crazy damage in alienating local schools against Miami, but my point w/ Diaz is bro didn’t want to put in the effort, my guy. We can’t keep hearing the same stories from recruits, parents, & now schools, bruh. That whole “but, he cared about the school” rhetoric is bull chit. Diaz wanted layups in recruiting, dog.

We can say all the bull chit we want about Golden, and we can & should; but, Golden at least left Richt some high caliber players. In fact, it’s already proven that as Golden recruited players began to wane, so did the on-field product.

Diaz talked big chit, the biggest chit of them all, & couldn’t deliver on it, including his **** poor efforts recruiting.

It’s water under the bridge, but if Manny really cared about his job he would make his rounds at the local powerhouse schools at minimum once a week.

If he only visited Columbus once in 6 years, I can’t imagine what it was like at Central, NW, BT, STA, Dillard…

We obviously know that Manny didn’t have the recruiting budget for out of state guys, but how the **** do you not hammer the local schools.

Pure ineptitude
 
there's something no amount of help can fix man. thats experience. Manny should've. been allowed to go to temple and learn there not here. golden tried to make us Penn state and then went AWOL on the job. **** him

Stubbornness & thinking u’re the smartest in the room is definitely an undoing. He rejected help b/c he wasn’t the problem. That’s the problem.

I seem to recall a poster on here saying that Mario got into it with a coach from Central. Something about Mario was scheduled to get 1 on 1 time with Cook, but because Cuckbo was there He got priority over Mario. Or some **** like that LOL.
