Mario staff question for those that might know

[ghost2]

Since it's been made clear that Mario to UM has been backchanneled and in the works for weeks if not months, does anyone have some insight as to whether he's mentioned who he'd like for his staff, or does that work start now? Mirabal is a safe assumption based on history but have any other names been brought up yet?

 

[ghost2]

To clarify, I'm not really asking who CIS wants, just if Mario himself has made any overtures to anyone in particular.

Thomas.

Move like Bama and has former HCs on staff.

I've only heard that he's got some guys lined up to follow from Oregon - obviously Mirabal and I think Rod Chance. Jimmy Brumbaugh (DLine) has been trying to get on at Miami for several years now - dating back to when Richt was hired - is also an analyst at Oregon. He could also wind up at UF though - especially if Mario goes for KP for that spot.

The fun thing is we can think about anyone with this budget.

I've mentioned it to some in PM - the budget for assistant's (10 on-field assistants only) is going to be essentially the "Clemson" model. I think we end up being higher than them after they lose their 2 highest paid assistants.

$8-8.5M - ideally 2 coordinators are in the $4-4.5 range and then the other 8 guys are at $500k give or take apiece.

You can hire almost anyone you want for that money with someone respected like Cristobal as the head man.

I hope he brings Chance with him.

 

[Jaxson Villain]

Yeah I didn’t want to get ahead of myself, but now I officially need some nuggets on potential staff??

 

[JayCane20]

I think so. Chance, Mirabal, Feld, and Bryan McClendon are the only guys that aren't west coast lifers on that staff.

I think everyone else stays. Don't think BMac ends up here though.

If it’s only between Likens and McClendon, who would you take?

 

[Go Canes!!]

I heard his current assistants must coach all the way through the bowl game.

We want at least one west coast guy, right?

I think you hire the OC and let him make the choice

 

[ghost2]

Chance and Mirabal would be a great start.

Good point. Is one better than the other though?

 

[JayCane20]

Likens.

McClendon is probably the better recruiter though but it's close.

Likens offers too much in Air Raid passing concepts and teaching. He's a guru

Is Rod Chance a good db coach?

Thanks for the mention. I am ready!

 

[JayCane20]

Is Rod Chance a good db coach?

Yes. He's also got defensive coordinator experience at the FCS level.

From 754 and played at STA. Still got the connects too.
